It is named after Henry O. Bakken (1901–1982), a farmer in Tioga, North Dakota, who owned the land where the formation was initially discovered while drilling for oil. [3] Besides the Bakken Formation being a widespread prolific source rock for oil when thermally mature, significant producible oil reserves exist within the rock unit itself. [4]

The National Inventory of Dams defines any "major dam" as being 50 feet (15 m) tall with a storage capacity of at least 5,000 acre-feet (6,200,000 m 3 ), or of any height with a storage capacity of 25,000 acre-feet (31,000,000 m 3 ).

Production peaked in 1986, but in the early 2000s significant increases in production began because of application of horizontal drilling techniques, especially in the Bakken Formation. [8] Cumulative basin production totals about 3.8 billion barrels (600,000,000 m 3) of oil [9] and 470 billion cubic feet (1.3 × 10 10 m 3) of natural gas. [10]

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 ...
The development of the Bakken oil play in North Dakota has been a game changer for oil production in the U.S. The play is already producing incredible numbers and might only be 10% developed. It ...
