The Big Muddy field produced little gas, although more gas came from the Wall Creek wells, and 549 million cubic feet of gas was produced in 1957, most of which was used locally in production work. [2] [3] A refinery was built by the Mutual Oil Company in 1917 near Glenrock to process Big Muddy oil.
The Salt Creek Oil Field is located in Natrona County, Wyoming. [2] By 1970, more oil had been produced by this field than any other in the Rocky Mountains region and accounted for 20 percent of the total production in Wyoming. [3] Petroleum seeps in the area were known before 1880, but oil strikes near Lander led to claims by Schoonmaker and ...
Jonah Field is a large natural gas field in the Green River Basin in Sublette County, Wyoming, in the United States.The field is approximately 790.2 miles (1,271.7 km) west of Iowa City and 906.2 miles (1,458.4 km) north of Dallas in southwestern Wyoming, and is estimated to contain 10.5 trillion cubic feet (300 km 3) of natural gas.

There is a recent resurgence in oil and gas production as a result of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. This resurgence is occurring mainly in the Wyoming portion of the basin, which is historically known as the source of the basin's oil. In 2009, a low of 38,000 barrels of oil per day were produced in the basin.
