The Covenant Field is an oil field located in Sevier County, Utah. The field was discovered in 2004 by Wolverine Oil and Gas, in the Kings Meadow Ranches #17-1 well when it encountered oil in the Navajo Formation. Credits for the geologic ideas behind the discovery have been attributed to Dr. [[Douglas K. Strickland]]. The work leading to this discovery is has been summarized by Strickland in several presentations at AAPG conferences.<ref name=Strickland05>Strickland, D., K. R. Johnson, J. P. Vrona, D. D.
