The Meaning Of

Kraken

The Kraken (kra:ken)

The Kraken is a legendary sea creature of giant proportions thought to dwell in the deepest parts of the oceans. Its figure resembles that of a squid or octopus, and although a specimen has never been seen or captured, the legend continues to the present day.

Our Commitment

Kraken believes in the need for oil and gas development and is committed to making the world a better place to live by developing reliable energy.  Kraken will utilize its vast experience, technical acumen, and Williston Basin specific knowledge to further unlock the Bakken. Kraken prides itself on technical and operational excellence, diligence, and innovation. Through top tier planning and execution, we will continue to make the Bakken a top producing basin in the United States.
