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.
Most of that oil is coming from the five top oil-producing states. The chart below shows the five-year production history of Texas, North Dakota, California, Alaska, and Oklahoma.
By April 2014, Bakken production in North Dakota and Montana exceeded 1 million barrels per day (160,000 m 3 /d). As a result of increased production from the Bakken, and long-term production declines in Alaska and California, North Dakota as of 2014 was the second-largest oil-producing state in the US, behind only Texas in volume of oil ...
North Dakota set its record annual oil production in 2019 — under Burgum — at 524 million barrels, according to a historical report. Last year was the state's No. 4 year for oil production.
Rail transport of crude oil has made a resurgence since 2005, largely due to the lack of pipeline capacity to transport the increased oil volumes from North Dakota. In 2014, 2.7 percent of crude oil arriving at refineries came by rail, up from 0.1 percent in 2005.
North Dakota's oil production rose nicely in April, and, with crude prices likely to remain strong, monthly output should break its old record by the end of this month.
The Parshall Oil Field is an oil field producing from the Bakken Formation and Three Forks Formation near the town of Parshall, in Mountrail County, North Dakota. The field is in the Williston Basin. The field was discovered in 2006 by Michael Johnson and sold the play to EOG Resources, which drilled, and now operates, most of the wells. [1]
The newest numbers showed that daily crude output remained above one million barrels for the 28th month, further confirming North Dakota as one of the hottest shale plays in the United States.
