The basin is a geologic structural basin but not a topographic depression; it is transected by the Missouri River ...
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 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.
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 ...
Elm Coulee Oil Field was discovered in the Williston Basin in Richland County, eastern Montana, in 2000.It produces oil from the Bakken formation and, as of 2007, was the "highest-producing onshore field found in the lower 48 states in the past 56 years."
