Source rock potential of the Bakken shales in the Williston Basin, North Dakota and Montana
The lower and upper Bakken shales are world class source rocks in the Williston Basin, sourcing reservoirs in the Bakken, upper Three Forks, and lower Lodgepole formations, which comprise the economically significant Bakken Petroleum System (BPS). Lower and upper Bakken shales exhibit a wide range …

Silica diagenesis and its pore-scale influence on the characteristics of the upper and lower Bakken shales, Williston Basin, North Dakota and Montana
The Bakken Formation has been a major producer of oil and gas in North Dakota and Montana since the advent of horizontal drilling, reaching peak production of over 1.2 million barrels of oil per day. It is Late Devonian and Early Mississippian in age and consists primarily of a dolomitic reservoir …

An Examination of the Mineralogy and Lithology of the Bakken Shale with Implications upon the Bakken Petroleum System, Southeastern Saskatchewan
Late Devonian and Early Mississippian Bakken shales are important source rocks to the oil accumulations in southeastern Saskatchewan. However, to date there is lack of knowledge concerning the mineralogy and lithology of the Bakken shales, which may impact the source effectiveness and heterogeneity …
