Abstract:
The Burke Ranch oil field is in the east-central part of Natrona County, 24 miles north of Casper, Wyoming, on U. S. Highway 87 to the Salt Creek oil field.
The Burke Ranch oil reservoir is a stratigraphic trap associated with a minor fold and/or monoclinal dip off the east limb of the Casper arch.
The Dakota sandstone is the only productive zone of this field. The zone averages 20 feet of permeable sand, and is found at subsea depths of 1,020-1,224 feet.
The crude is paraffine base, and is 35.5° A.P.I. gravity, dark brownish green in color.
The well status, on December, 1954, is 5 dry holes, 12 producers, and one drilling location. The productive limits have not been delineated.
