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.

Fire rages on at Bakken well

The Cyclone 18 rig, which is owned by Wyoming-based Cyclone Drilling, was engulfed in flames Sunday morning while drilling the Beaver Creek State 1-36H well for Oklahoma-based Continental Resources about 30 miles north-east of the town of Beach, a Continental spokesman confirmed to Upstream.
A crew from Texas-based blowout specialists Wild Well Control arrived on the location Monday to extinguish the fire, a process that is expected to take up to a week to finish.
Three workers were injured during the blaze, a representative for Cyclone Drilling told Upstream.
Two of them were taken by helicopter to a hospital in Minnesota to be treated for severe burns and the third had minor injuries, Patrick Hladky said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
