Water Availability for Oil Well Development in North Dakota Status of Water Depot Permit Applications Robert Shaver Water Appropriation Division North Dakota State Water Commission

Scope of Presentation Surface Water Availability Ground Water Availability –Bedrock Aquifer Fox Hills Aquifer –Glacial Aquifers Killdeer Aquifer Shell Creek Aquifer

Surface Water Availability Knife River Bakken Areal Extent

Knife River at Manning, ND

Surface Water Availability Bakken Areal Extent Missouri River/Lake Sakakawea most reliable water supply

Ground Water Availability Bedrock Aquifers FOX HILLS AQUIFER

Areal Extent of Fox Hills Aquifer

Fox Hills Aquifer Fox Hills Aquifer occurs from land surface to depths of ≈ 2,000 feet in west central part of state Well yields of up to 200 gpm Variable water chemistry –Relatively high salinity –Sodium-bicarbonate type water

Fox Hills Aquifer Cont. Major source for domestic/stock use in western North Dakota Monitoring since 1980s indicate pressure head declines of 1 to 2 feet/year Negative impact on flowing wells in Little Missouri, Missouri, and Knife River valleys

Flowing wells in the Fox Hills Aquifer

Rate of Decline ≈ 1.2 Feet/ Year

Management of Fox Hills Aquifer Groundwater mining is occurring Fox Hills Aquifer is an important water source Every effort should be made to develop large scale ground water supplies from other sources

Water Depots in North Dakota 28 Permitted Water Depots –2,340 acre-feet (763 million gallons) per year 30 Pending Water Permit Applications –5,534 acre-feet (1.8 billion gallons) per year

The most reliable water supply in terms of both quantity and quality required for oil field development in western North Dakota is Lake Sakakawea and the Missouri River
