Right here in America there is a modern day oil & gas boom. Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated mean undiscovered volumes of 3.65 billion barrels of oil, 1.85 trillion cubic feet of associated/dissolved natural gas, and 148 million barrels of natural gas liquids in the Bakken Shale Formation of the Williston Basin Province, Montana and North Dakota.

Samson Searching for Good News in the 'Little Bakken'


Finding oil out in the Bakken shale in North Dakota is a hot topic for many energy exploration companies. The Bakken formation is known as a dependable supplier of crude oil and natural gas, but there's another, lesser-known region that promises to become the next big thing in the U.S. for oil and gas explorers called "the little Bakken," or "NeoBakken," because of its potential. Companies are snapping up acreage, doing deals and moving rigs into position as I type this.
This region is the Niobrara shale formation in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas, in the region where the four states meet. This shale is in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, usually referred to as the DJ Basin.
