Waddell TR A #1540 (API 42-103-34610) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed September 29, 2016 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2024.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1998 and 2013, permitted to 5,018 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 4 formation tops, including Judkins, San Angelo, Tubb, Wichita-Albany.

Its 2 leases have reported 25.3M barrels of oil and 108M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 809 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.
