A feasibility study, dated January, 1999, mentioned the Bakken and the Williston Basin.
The summary:
Downhole oil–water separation (DOWS) technology is an emerging technology that separates oil and gas from produced water at the bottom of the well, and re-injects most of the produced water into another formation which is usually deeper than the producing formation, while the oil and gas rich stream is pumped to the surface.
Connecting the dots. For newbies, the Three Forks is deeper than the middle Bakken in the Williston Basin.
Could produced water work? Have we seen instances of produced water being used in the Bakken to frack wells? Yes. I noted one operator using produced water to frack wells a while back. Time to go back and look at some of those posts. See tags.
