The Bakken Basin: Overview
The Bakken formation is one of the largest continuous oil accumulations in the United States, located primarily in the Williston Basin beneath western North Dakota and eastern Montana, with extensions into Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The play covers approximately 25,000 square miles and has been a transformative force in American energy production since horizontal drilling unlocked its potential beginning in the mid-2000s.
North Dakota’s oil production surged from under 100,000 barrels per day to over 1.4 million barrels per day thanks largely to Bakken and Three Forks development. The primary targets — the Upper Bakken, Middle Bakken, and Three Forks formations — produce light, sweet crude oil at depths of approximately 9,000 to 11,000 feet. While the basin’s remote location has historically created pipeline and takeaway constraints, significant midstream infrastructure buildout has improved marketing options for producers.
Whether you’re an operator developing Bakken acreage, a mineral owner in McKenzie or Mountrail County, or an investor evaluating Williston Basin opportunities, Energy Domain provides the data and marketplace access you need.
