Narrative:

On departure from oak we were passing 7000 ft in the area of rebas intersection. We hit wake turbulence from a B767 5 mi ahead. We also thought we may have hit a bird. There was a definite 'thump' and vibration. The flight attendants called shortly and said there had been a ball of flame from the engine. We knew then it had actually been a compressor stall. We referenced the qrc and then called the maintenance controller. There were no exceedances and no further stalls. An announcement was made to the passenger.
