The Williston Basin is an intracratonic basin that underlies portions of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota in the United States, and Manitoba and Saskatchewan in Canada. The Williston Basin has been a top domestic oil producing region since the 1960s and is currently in the midst of a major “oil boom” triggered by the discovery of substantial reserves associated with the Devonian-Mississippian Bakken Formation, along with advances in petroleum-recovery technologies and economic incentives related to the price of oil.

The Bakken Formation is a Late Devonian/Early Mississippian geologic formation that consists of three thin but laterally continuous members spanning portions of Alberta, Manitoba, Montana, North Dakota and Saskatchewan. The members consist of two shale layers confining a sandstone/siltstone layer which is the primary producing layer. In April, 2013 the USGS completed an assessment of the Bakken Formations showing it is currently the largest known continuous oil resource in the contiguous US (Gaswirth et al., 2013,http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2013/3013/fs2013-3013.pdf).

The the Williston Basin has been a leading petroleum producer for over a half century with development beginning around the turn of the 20th century. The spatial and temporal spread of the associated wells is important from both an economic perspective but also a natural resource view. These data were gathered from the state/province oil and gas divisions for use by USGS researchers and their collaborators in water resource specific studies. Each state/province provides slightly different information for each well, with some providing more information and others less. We attempted to create a spatial cross-walk that allowed each database to be merged to one another to create a final regional spatial database. Each...
