Gentlemen:

  We hereby consent to the incorporation by reference in the Registration
Statements on Form S-8 (Nos. 33-44171, 33-62441, 33-44172, 333-22525, and
333-15083) relating to the stock incentive plans of The Wiser Oil Company (the
Company) of our reserves estimates included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
(the Annual Report) of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1999, and to
the references to our firm included in the Annual Report. Our estimates of the
oil, condensate, natural gas liquids (shown collectively as "Oil and NGL"), and
natural gas reserves of certain properties owned by the Company are contained in
our reports entitled "Appraisal Report as of December 31, 1999 on Certain
Properties owned by the Wiser Oil Company-Proved Reserves". Reserves estimates
from our reports are included in the sections "Principal Oil and Gas
Properties," "Oil and Gas Reserves," and "Supplemental Financial Information for
the years ending December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 (unaudited)-Oil and Gas
Reserves." Also included in the third section mentioned above are reserves
estimates from our "Appraisal Report as of December 31, 1999 on Certain
Properties owned by the Wiser Oil Company-Proved Reserves." In the sections
"Summary Reserve and Operating Data" and "Oil and Gas Reserves," estimates of
reserves, revenue, and discounted present worth set forth in our above mentioned
reports have been combined with estimates of reserves, revenue, and discounted
present worth prepared by another petroleum consultant. We are necessarily
unable to verify the accuracy of the reserves, revenue, and present worth values
contained in the Annual Report when our estimates have been combined with those
of another firm.

                      Very truly yours,


                      /S/ DEGOLYER AND MACNAUGHTON

                      DeGOLYER and MacNAUGHTON
