Also in the story:

The state Industrial Commission, which also regulates the oil industry, authorized a project in November that targets Bakken wells in Mountrail County. Hess is leading that effort, which involves injecting natural gas and a proprietary foam underground to build pressure and extract more oil.

One other enhanced oil recovery project secured approval from the Industrial Commission on Tuesday. XTO is proposing to inject natural gas into both the Bakken and Three Forks formations in Dunn County to boost oil production.
