The Williston Basin is a large intracratonic sedimentary basin in eastern Montana, western North Dakota, South Dakota, southern Saskatchewan, and south-western Manitoba that is known for its rich deposits of petroleum and potash. The basin is a geologic structural basin but not a topographic depression; it is transected by the Missouri River ...
The Bakken Formation (/ ˈ b ɑː k ən / BAH-kən) is a rock unit from the Late Devonian to Early Mississippian age occupying about 200,000 square miles (520,000 km 2) of the subsurface of the Williston Basin, underlying parts of Montana, North Dakota, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Oil produced from the Three Forks Formation in the Williston Basin of North Dakota and south-eastern Saskatchewan is often included in production statistics with the overlying Bakken Formation. For instance, the Three Forks and Bakken were combined in estimates of potential production released by the United States Geological Survey on April 30 ...
The Bakken Shale - a vast formation underlying parts of North Dakota, Montana, and South Dakota - has taken the U.S. by storm. Counties in North Dakota that were previously as quiet as a graveyard ...
The Bakken formation is quite possibly one of the most misunderstood oil and gas plays in the United States. While some observers may fear the high decline rates, they should be encouraged by some ...
The Deadwood Formation is a geologic formation of the Williston Basin and Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.It is present in parts of North and South Dakota and Montana in the United States, and in parts of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and southwestern corner of Manitoba in Canada.
The Bakken is still rockin' for Kodiak Oil & Gas , which today announced it plans to spend $660 million cash to acquire additional core producing properties and undeveloped leaseholds in the ...
The Williston Basin produces most of North Dakota's oil and gas, particularly since the boom in hydraulic fracturing after 2006. The Bakken Formation is particularly productive and underlies all but the southwest corner of the basin. Bowman County in the southwest has structurally controlled fields in Ordovician formations.
