DJ Basin

The Crown Jewel of Rocky Mountain Unconventional Development

The Denver-Julesburg Basin is one of the most prolific and actively developed unconventional plays in North America. Centered on the Wattenberg Field in Weld County, Colorado, the DJ Basin produces from stacked Niobrara and Codell formations using advanced horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing.

Powder River Basin

Wyoming's Emerging Horizontal Frontier

The Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming has undergone a dramatic transformation from a legacy coalbed methane province to one of the most exciting unconventional oil plays in North America. The revolution in extended-reach horizontal drilling — with laterals now exceeding 3 miles — has unlocked previously uneconomic oil reserves in the Mowry, Shannon, Frontier, Parkman, and Turner formations, driving breakeven costs below $50 per barrel.

Bakken Shale

Legacy Leases, Untapped Potential, and the Power of Statutory Release

The Bakken and Three Forks formations spanning western North Dakota and eastern Montana represent one of the most productive unconventional oil plays in North America. While North Dakota has been the epicenter of Bakken development, significant opportunity remains in Montana — particularly for mineral owners trapped in decades-old legacy leases that hold valuable acreage without active development.
