Oilfield Injury Claims Across North Dakota

There are multiple oil fields located across North Dakota. When you’ve been injured in Bismarck or any of the following oilfield locations, you may have grounds for legal action against those responsible for causing your injuries:

  • Bakken Formation
  • Elm Coulee Oil Field
  • Parshall Oil Field

The Bakken Formation is particularly well known across North Dakota. It’s considered to be the reason the state is now the second largest producer of oil in the country behind Texas. The Bakken Formation has some of the largest deposits of natural gas and oil across the country.

In fact, according to a USGS study, the Bakken Formation is part of the Williston Basin, a massive oilfield, which spreads across eastern Montana, western North Dakota, and southern Saskatchewan, Canada, and has the potential to recover 4.3 billion barrels of oil and 4.9 trillion cubic feet of unconventional natural gas.
