Waddell TR A #1525 (API 42-103-34463) is a plugged well in Crane County, plugged January 6, 2017, last operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1997 and 2006, permitted to 5,088 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 3 formation tops, including Judkins, McKnight, San Angelo.

Its 2 leases have reported 23.8M barrels of oil and 114M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 819 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.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
