Waddell TR A #1437 (API 42-103-34259) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed April 30, 2019 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2022.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1994 and 2013, permitted to 4,857 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 5 formation tops, including McKnight, San Angelo, Clear Fork, Tubb.
Its 2 leases have reported 37.5M barrels of oil and 146M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 1,222 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
