75 Years of Oil Dominance Celebration
April 4, 2026, marks the 75th year anniversary of the discovery of oil in North Dakota. To help us celebrate this momentous occasion, we are hosting a 75 Years of Oil Dominance Celebration from 4:30-7:00 pm. We will have hosted bars and food there for you to enjoy!
In addition to the social, we have had some special logos made that we would love for you to have and use. This is an incredibly occasion that will be remembered for years to come when reflecting on the history and success of the Bakken. Feel free to use them on your swag items, company merch, etc.
The founding and organizing partners of the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in North Dakota include the North Dakota Petroleum Council and the Department of Mineral Resources. In Saskatchewan, the founding and organizing partners include the provincial government through the Geological Survey of Saskatchewan and the Ministry of Energy and Resources, and the independent not-for-profit Petroleum Technology Research Centre. All of these groups helped develop the conference into the premier event it is.
