The Bakken Oil Blog
We launched BakkenBlog when but a handful of wells produced Bakken oil in northwestern North Dakota. That was 2007 and The Bakken was little known beyond Mountrail County.
Now, 14 years later, development of the Bakken (BAH-ken) and Three Forks oil/gas formations—underlying much of western North Dakota plus broad areas of Montana and Saskatchewan—not only has dramatically altered local economies but has also rewritten the nation’s energy situation.
We continue reporting Bakken matters with regular updates and coverage of news, views, events, weather, and permitting reports.
