The Clarence Iverson well hit oil on April 4, 1951.

This is a nice review. Unfortunately it's a regional article and the link will probably break soon.  If I get time, I will provide some data points from the article.

The most important takeaway: the Bakken formation overshadows every other pay zone in the Williston Basin, but Bakken technology will eventually be used for those other non-communicating formations.
