Stretching across portions of both the U.S. and Canada, this vast shale play has been one of the lead attractions in the unconventional game. Set within the Williston Basin, this play stretches across approximately 200,000 square miles and is estimated to hold over two billion barrels of recoverable reserves. Because of its potential, many industry heavyweights such as Hess and Marathon Oil Corp. have operations in the area.
