In just one week, more than 60 spills were reported in North Dakota's Bakken oil and gas fields in 2024. [88] Man camps that house workers also contribute to pollution. In one instance, a camp outside of Williston was shut down after allowing sewage to discharge openly over the property. [81]
Night view of H&P drilling the Bakken. The North Dakota oil boom was the period of rapidly expanding oil extraction from the Bakken Formation in the state of North Dakota that lasted from the discovery of the Parshall Oil Field in 2006, and peaked in 2012, [1] [2] but with substantially less growth noted since 2015 due to a global decline in oil prices.
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 ...
