Abstract:

The Bakken Formation is relatively thin and is found (relatively) deep in the Williston basin. In spite of its insignificant volume (compared to the total sedimentary section) its organic-rich shales are documented source rocks. The generation/migration scheme postulated for the Bakken (source rock) and its associated oil-productive reservoirs are believed to be somewhat universal in units and basins throughout the world.
