Abstract
The Bakken formation contains billions of barrels of oil and gas trapped in
rock and shale. Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing methods have
allowed for extraction of these resources, leading to exponential growth of
oil production in the region over the past decade. Along with this
development has come an increase in associated emissions to the atmosphere.
Concern about potential impacts of these emissions on federal lands in the
region prompted the National Park Service to sponsor the Bakken Air Quality
Study over two winters in 2013–2014. Here we provide an overview of the
study and present some initial results aimed at better understanding the
impact of local oil and gas emissions on regional air quality. Data from the
study, along with long-term monitoring data, suggest that while power plants
are still an important emissions source in the region, emissions from oil and
gas activities are impacting ambient concentrations of nitrogen oxides and
black carbon and may dominate recent observed trends in pollutant
concentrations at some of the study sites. Measurements of volatile organic
compounds also definitively show that oil and gas emissions were present in
almost every air mass sampled over a period of more than 4 months.
