Description: Photo on unused postcard Ray, North Dakota is part of the Williston Basin, which is known for its significant oil reserves, particularly in the Bakken Formation. The discovery of oil in this region transformed towns like Ray, making them central to North Dakota's oil boom. The oil wells in and around Ray are primarily associated with the development of the Bakken oil fields. The Bakken Formation is a large geological formation that extends through parts of North Dakota, Montana, and Canada, and it contains one of the largest oil reserves in the U.S. The oil drilling in Ray likely started in the mid-20th century but became more significant during the late 2000s and 2010s when advancements in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (fracking) unlocked previously inaccessible oil deposits.
