Norstra Energy Oil and Gas exploration in the Oil rich Bakken Formation

http://www.norstraenergy.com/projects/bakken-fairway/

The Bakken Fairway was first discovered and drilled in Alberta, Canada, but now extends deep into northwest Montana into Lewis & Clark County where it is bordered by the Rocky Mountain Thrust Zone on the west and the Sweetgrass Arch to the west. The South Sun River Bakken Prospect is in the area of wells drilled through the Bakken by Shell, ARCO, SUNCOR , Sun Exploration, Occidental Petroleum, Phillips Petroleum, and Montana Power.

The company believes that the basics of the Bakken Formation in northwest Montana are equivalent to, and exceed, the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin of North Dakota. The critical Middle Member (Sappington) is 20-30’ thick in the Bakken Fairway compared to an average of 10’ thick in the Williston Basin. The financial impact of Bakken revenue in North Dakota doubled the income of the State Treasury in a single year.
