The Bakken and underlying Three Forks formations made the Williston Basin of western North Dakota one of the great American oil plays. Production is concentrated in a handful of counties where the rock is thickest and most over-pressured — McKenzie, Williams, Mountrail, and Dunn form the core.
Bakken wells are known for strong early production followed by steep decline, so the age and operator of the wells under your tract — and any remaining undrilled locations — drive value more than acreage alone.

McKenzie, Williams, Mountrail, and Dunn counties in North Dakota are the productive core, with Divide and Burke on the northern flank. The map plots the main ones.
Bakken wells decline steeply after strong initial production. Unless new wells are added to your unit, the decline curve pulls your check down over time even when prices hold.
