The Raven Creek oil field is located in T45-49N, R69W, Campbell County, Wyoming. A tabulation of geologic and production data is presented, including reservoir characteristics. Annual and cumulative production figures are given for the years 1960-1967. Oil is produced from a stratigraphic trap in the Minnelusa Sandstone (Permo-Pennsylvanian) at a depth of 8,380 ft. The producing sand has an average thickness of 37 ft, and porosity of 12%. Since discovery in 1960, the field has produced 9,559,623 bbl of 32$ gravity oil to Jan. 1, 1968. Estimated primary reserve is 11 million bbl. Reservoir pressure has dropped from 3,380 lb to 700 to 800 lb. A structure map, isopach maps, and a correlated electric log cross section are included.
