The same techniques of horizontal drilling and multi-stage massive hydraulic fracturing are used. In December 2012, 2,357 Bakken wells in Saskatchewan produced a record high of 71,000 barrels per day (11,000 m 3 /d). [17] The Bakken Formation also produces in Manitoba, yielding 42.1 thousand barrels per day of crude oil in 2020. [18]
