Simultaneously the state of North Dakota released a report with a lower estimate of 2.1 billion barrels (330,000,000 m 3) of technically recoverable oil in the Bakken.

The Bakken/Three Forks is the largest oil field (in square miles) in the world. It underlies approximately 18,000 square miles of North Dakota and is about the size of theState of West Virginia. Throughout most of the Williston Basin, the Bakken Formation consists of three layers, or “members” that lie approximately two miles underground.
