Waddell TR A #1988 (API 42-103-35665) is a plugged well in Crane County, plugged July 13, 2023, last operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2009 and 2013, permitted to 4,900 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 7 formation tops, including Grayburg, Judkins, McKnight, San Angelo.

Its 2 leases have reported 25.3M barrels of oil and 108M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 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.
