The '''Tarn oil field''' is an oil field in [North Slope Borough](/source/North_Slope_Borough%2C_Alaska), [Alaska](/source/Alaska), [United States](/source/United_States). It is adjacent to the [Kuparuk Oil Field](/source/Kuparuk_Oil_Field), Alaska's second largest oil field.

[B.P. America](/source/BP_America) and ARCO Alaska, Inc., first announced the Tarn discovery on 10 March after testing of the Tarn #2 well yielded a steady, stimulated flow rate in excess of 2,000 barrels per day of 38-degree API gravity oil from a sandstone reservoir discovered at a depth of 5,200 feet.{{citation needed|date=March 2023}}

==History==
In March 1997 oil was found in the Tarn Prospect and plans for Tarn Oil Field Development were announced.<ref>{{cite web |last=J. Lynne Davison, Bill R.
