The Bakken Formation /ˈbɑːkən/ is a rock unit from the Late Devonian to Early Mississippian age occupying about 200,000 square miles (520,000 km2) of the subsurface of the Williston Basin, underlying parts of Montana, North Dakota, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The formation was initially described by geologist J.W. Nordquist in 1953. The formation is entirely in the subsurface, and has no surface outcrop. It is named after Henry Bakken, a farmer in Tioga, North Dakota who owned the land where the formation was initially discovered, during drilling for oil.
Besides being a widespread prolific source rock for oil when thermally mature, significant producible oil reserves exist within the Bakken formation itself. Oil was first discovered within the Bakken in 1951, but past efforts to produce it have faced technical difficulties. In April 2008, a USGS report estimated the amount of recoverable oil using technology readily available at the end of 2007 within the Bakken Formation at 3.0 to 4.3 billion barrels (680,000,000 m3), with a mean of 3.65 billion. Simultaneously the state of North Dakota released a report with a lower estimate of 2.1 billion barrels (330,000,000 m3) of technically recoverable oil in the Bakken. Various other estimates place the total reserves, recoverable and non-recoverable with today's technology, at up to 24 billion barrels. A recent estimate places the figure at 18 billion barrels. In April 2013, the US Geological Survey released a new figure for expected ultimate recovery of 7.4 billion barrels of oil.

Talk about a funky ride "Through the Trees!" Bakken's mine train is a lot of fun and you have to duck around every turn!
Bakken Oilfield Fail of the Day, First Year in Review! Bakken Oilfield Fail of the Day is a very popular page on facebook, and this video highlights photos and video from the pages first year. The Bakken Oilfield is a large oil play/boom in North Dakota and Montana. YOUTUBE didnt allow my music on video so I had to edit it to some crappy provided music FYI
We react to the Bakken after the oilfield bust! We lived in Watford City, North Dakota 2 years ago. We wanted to see what had changed and what is was like since the oilfield slowed down. We couldn't believe it. Part 2 tomorrow will be us going to Theodore Roosevelt National Park (North). Stay tuned. As always, thank you so much for watching and please subscribe to hang out with us more. See y'all tomorrow! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis: http://thekaylaross.com/type-1-diabet...

The oil boom in North Dakota has brought with it the highest worker fatality rates in the country. Fault Lines investigates who should be held responsible.
