The region in the U.S. that has seen significant natural gas production from the Bakken Shale is the Great Plains.

The Bakken Shale formation spans parts of North Dakota, Montana, and Canada, with North Dakota being the leading state for oil and natural gas production from this formation. The Great Plains, particularly the Williston Basin in North Dakota, has experienced a boom in energy production due to advanced horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques. While the area is more known for its oil output, natural gas extraction from the Bakken has also seen significant growth.
