Waddell TR A #1965 (API 42-103-35392) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed May 23, 2019 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2019.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 28, 2007, permitted to 3,440 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 Mcelroy, Judkins, Intermediate.

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.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.

Well logs

1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Dec 19, 2007. Gamma ray, Sonic. 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.
