Oil and Gas Formations in the US

Anybody who has googled Eagle Ford or the Bakken formation knows there are several hits.  Some of this information is solid facts, others however, are based on peoples' ideas and opinions.  In an effort to provide facts to inform my readers, I have been putting together a list of major oil and gas formations in the United States.

This task however, runs into a few stumbling blocks.  It seems that the list I propose could be endless!
So I have come up with the following plan to keep it under control. The USGS has a very extensive database of geologically based energy resources.  With oil being almost always derived from this medium, there listing and organization of the formations makes the most sense to me.

The USGS calls their areas of study provinces.  Some might see these as the basins that are commonly referred to within the oil and gas industry.  As I continue to gather data and news throughout the energy industry, I will link field names, new plays, development areas, and geological formations back to these provinces. US Oil and Gas Formations - Energy Connections US  Please feel free to comment or suggest references for my quest.
