Bakken shale formation

A second well has begun producing on their property and another is being drilled - all aimed at the Bakken shale formation, a rich deposit that the U.S. Geological Survey calls the largest continuous oil accumulation it has ever assessed.

It is interesting to note that there is a deeper formation that also produces in that same area.
