The Bakken Shale Play is an oil and gas formation located in Northeast Montana and Northwest North Dakota (see the list of counties for more information). Below you will find various maps of Bakken play locations and drilling operations.

Map of the Bakken Formation reservoirs in the US portion of the Williston Basin (Saskatchewan is north border). Prior to 2007, most oil came from the Elm Coulee Oil Field.

2024年10月30日 · Bakken producing zones are mainly present in Western North Dakota, Southern Saskatchewan, and Eastern Montana. The Bakken shale is one of the largest (possibly the largest) continuous oil accumulations in the world. It is an over pressured system which is in part responsible for high IP rates.
