Forks from the Bakken Formation, probably representing tectonic movement from the Acadian/Antler orogenies. The unconformity is complex in that it probably represents both a lowstand surface of erosion and a transgressive surface of erosion. stillwithin the peak oil generationwindow. Therefore, oil saturationsof the middle Three Forks appear to be primarily a functionof both the thickness and thermal maturity of the lower Bakken shale. The greater the volume of oil generated from the lower shale, the further hydrocarbons are forced downwards into the underlying Three Forks Formation. On April 30, 2013, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) released an updated oil and gas resource assessment for the Bakken Formation and a new assessment for the Three Forks Formation in North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. WASHINGTON, D.C. —The United States Geological Survey (USGS) today released an updated oil and gas resource assessment for the Bakken Formation and a new assessment for the Three Forks Formation in North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. Three Peaks Resources LLC is a privately held oil and gas company headquartered in Grapevine, Texas focused on the acquisition of non-operated interests in wells drilled and completed in the core of the Bakken and Three Forks formation located in the core of the Williston Basin. The Bakken Shale is a rock formation that was deposited in the late Devonian, early Mississippian age. The formation consists of three layers: an upper shale layer, middle dolomite, and a lower layer of shale. The shale layers are petroleum source rocks as well as seals for the layer known as the Three Forks (dolomite) or Sanish (sands) formations.

The estimate by the USGS projects that 7.4 billion barrels of oil can be recovered from the Bakken and Three Forks formations and 6.7 trillion cubic feet of natural
22 Jan 2010 SENIOR GEOLOGIST, SD DENR OIL & GAS SECTION This Isopach map of the Three Forks shows that in all probability, the formation. The map to the left shows the Bakken and Three Forks formations in the Williston Basin. The map to the right shows the location of oil and gas production (in red) The Bakken Formation lies within the oil-window of the vast Williston Basin, which extends rate and number of active producing wells (Includes Bakken, Sanish, Three Forks, and accordance with the respective areal TOC distribution map .
