"Even if oil prices stay low, the Watford City/Williston area may be the last in the region to feel the pain. It is in the “sweet spot” of the Bakken, with the breakeven price for production about $36 a barrel, according to the state."

The Star Tribune hates fracking and is quoting the high number for the region, not the Bakken numbers.
