Waddell TR A #1215 (API 42-103-32640) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed October 5, 1981 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2025.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1997, permitted to 3,600 ft.

It was permitted by Burlington Res O & G CO-Midland and has since transferred to Blackbeard Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Queen, Grayburg.

Its 2 leases have reported 18.8M barrels of oil and 67.7M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 662 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
