Take Hess, the number three player in the play, now upping Bakken spend by $900 million this year, or nearly 30%. The Bakken will remain the most price sensitive of the three big shale oil plays but its incremental potential this year is second, maybe surpassing the 1.3 million b/d mark for total output. 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. The high pressure in the formation suggests that the oil is contained within the petroleum system. The Bakken oil boom has brought a flood of industry personnel to Montana & North Dakota, which in turn is making local housing hard to come by. Use the Bakken Shale Lodging Directory to locate hotels, apartments, or rental properties that meet your housing needs.

Properties of shale oils from various locations are given in Table 1. The hydrocarbons making up shale oil could be classified as being about 20% alkanes, 20% aromatics, 25% aromatic resins, and 35% olefins and naphthenes.

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. The high pressure in the formation suggests that the oil is contained within the petroleum system. The Bakken shale's rise to prominence in the oil industry is nothing short of remarkable. While the first oil discovery dates back to 1951, the oil was trapped within the tight shale rocks, which In exchange for its Bakken shale assets, Denbury will receive $1.6 billion in cash and acquire ExxonMobil’s interests in the Hartzog Draw field in Wyoming and Webster field in Texas, which currently produce about 3,600 net oil equivalent barrels per day of natural gas and liquids. North Dakota set an oil production record in January this year, and crude output in the state home to the Bakken shale play held close to that record level in the three months that followed.

Bakken crude oil is regarded as a light crude oil. Bakken crude oil. Bakken crude oil, like other crude oils, consists of a range of primarily hydrocarbon gases and liquids. The table below illustrates the composition of a Bakken crude oil sampled at a distribution center prior to loading for rail transportation.

The Bakken Shale Play is located in Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota, as well as parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba in the Williston Basin. Oil was initially discovered in the Bakken play in 1951, but was not commercial on a large scale until the past ten years.
