Waddell TR A #1916
Crane County · Sand Hills (Judkins) field · Shut In · Vertical
Waddell TR A #1916 (API 42-103-35246) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed September 20, 2006 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 26, 2006, permitted to 3,418 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 Yates, Mcelroy, Judkins.
Its lease has reported 5.18M barrels of oil and 34.5M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 258 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

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

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Mar 1, 2007. Density, Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
