The application of hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling technologies has caused a boom in Bakken oil production since 2000. By the end of 2010, oil production rates had reached 458,000 barrels (72,800 m 3) per day, thereby outstripping the pipeline capacity to ship oil out of the Bakken.
The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) or Bakken pipeline is a 1,172-mile-long (1,886 km) underground pipeline in the United States that has the ability to transport up to 750,000 barrels of light sweet crude oil per day. It begins in the shale oil fields of the Bakken Formation in northwest North Dakota and continues through South Dakota and Iowa ...
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 ...
By the end of 2010, Bakken oil production rates had reached 458,000 barrels (72,800 m 3) per day, thereby outstripping the pipeline capacity to ship oil out of the Bakken. [131] [130] By January 2011 Bloomberg News reported that Bakken crude oil producers were using railway cars to ship oil. [130] In 2013, there were new rail shipments of WCS ...
No doubt the Bakken has become a game-changer for U.S. energy production. But while the North Dakota oil boom gets referenced a lot, you may not know what's going on. Here are ten charts that tell ...

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.
Oil from the Bakken shale has increasingly become the preferred oil over West Texas Intermediate, or WTI, by refineries all over the world. And, because there is so much explosive growth in ...
