Crane County · University Waddell (Devonian) field · Producing · Vertical
W. N. Waddell Dpu #1222 (API 42-103-34559) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed March 31, 2025 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 20, 1997, permitted to 9,500 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 San Andres, Pennsylvanian, Devonian.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.56M barrels of oil and 9.93M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 120 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
