The youngest oil-producing formation in North Dakota is the Triassic Spearfish Formation (Fig. 6), which unconformably overlies the Madison Group across much of eastern North Dakota. The Spearfish Formation is productive where oil has migrated into it from Madison Group strata. Commission Guidance on Gas Capture effective 11-20-2018.

The Bakken Formation is one of the largest contiguous deposits of oil and natural gas in the United States. It is an interbedded sequence of black shale, siltstone, and sandstone that underlies large areas of northwestern North Dakota, northeastern Montana, southern Saskatchewan, and southwestern Manitoba. Oil and gas. The Bakken formation has emerged in recent years as one of the most important sources of new oil production in the United States. Most Bakken drilling and production has been in North Dakota, although the formation also extends into Montana and the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. 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.
