Bakken Shale
Were You Injured in an Oil or Gas Drilling Accident in the Bakken Shale?
The Bakken Shale, an oil and gas formation in parts of North Dakota and Montana in the Williston Basin is recognized as one of America's most significant natural oil and gas fields. Oil and gas drilling takes place throughout the field, with drilling and shale extraction operations in northwestern North Dakota and northeastern Montana.
Oil and gas exploration and extraction from shale requires exploratory measures that can include drilling operations that put oil and gas field workers at risk of great danger and death. Despite workplace safety regulations that are among the strictest in the world, workers in exploration and drilling operations throughout the Bakken Shale region continue to suffer among the highest rates of accident injuries in the industry.
