"The Bakken oil formation holds a large volume of oil that is expensive to extract. Before the oil boom the economy was mostly agricultural. Around 2009, the price of oil spiked, and suddenly the oil underneath North Dakota was profitable."
In 2015 I moved to north dakota to work in the oil field · u/SWAG__KING · ↑1300 · 2023-07-10
