The Bakken oil and gas Shale formation occupies about 200,000 square miles of the subsurface of the Williston Basin , underlying parts of Montana and North Dakota in the U.S., and Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Canada. An April 2008 United States Geological Survey (USGS) report estimated the amount of technically recoverable oil using technology readily available at the end of 2007 within the Bakken Formation at 3.0 to 4.3 billion barrels, with a mean of 3.65 billion. The state of North Dakota also released a report that month which estimated that there are 2.1 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil in the Bakken. Various other estimates place the total reserves, recoverable and non-recoverable with today's technology, at up to 24 billion barrels. The most recent estimate places the figure at 18 billion barrels.
