The world's 932 giant oil and gas fields are considered those with 500 million barrels (79,000,000 m3) of ultimately recoverable oil or gas equivalent. Geoscientists believe these giants account for 40 percent of the world's petroleum reserves. They are clustered in 27 regions of the world,with the largest clusters in the Persian Gulf and Western Siberian basin. The past three decades reflect declines in discoveries of giant fields. The years 2000–11 reflect an upturn in discoveries and appears on track to be the third best decade for discovery of giant oil and gas fields in the 150-year history of modern oil and gas exploration.
The Parshall Oil Field is an oil field producing from the Bakken Formation and Three Forks Formation near the town of Parshall,in Mountrail County,North Dakota. The field is in the Williston Basin. The field was discovered in 2006 by Michael Johnson and sold the play to EOG Resources,which drilled,and now operates,most of the wells. It was the discovery of the Parshall Field that was largely responsible for the North Dakota oil boom. Parshall's break-even price is at US$38/barrel,which is the lowest on the Bakken Formation;overall,Bakken's break-even point is of US$62/barrel.
