The Mellot Ranch oil field is located in T52N, R68W, Crook County, Wyoming. A tabulation of geologic and production data is presented, including reservoir characteristics. Annual and cumulative production figures are given for the years 1961-1969. Oil is produced from a stratigraphic trap in the Minnelusa Sandstone (Permian) at a depth of 6,800 ft. The producing sand has an average thickness of 20 ft and porosity of 18%. Discovered in 1961, the field has produced 1,342,439 bbl of 21$ gravity oil to Jan. 1, 1969. Reservoir pressure dropped from 2,685 lb to 200 lb (Jan. 1, 1966). A structure map, an isopach map, and a correlated electric log across section are included. The estimated primary reserve is 1,280,000 bbl.
