About Bakken Wire
Daily intelligence on the Williston Basin, built in North Dakota.
What we do
Bakken Wire publishes daily editions covering oil and gas activity in North Dakota's Bakken formation — drilling permits, rig moves, production trends, commodity prices, and the market forces shaping the basin. Editions publish each morning, midday, and afternoon, with an editorial Take and audio briefing for readers on the move.
Where the data comes from
Our reporting is grounded in public and market sources: the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) and Industrial Commission daily activity reports, the state's active rig list, commodity price feeds, and industry news wires. Rig counts and permit activity on this site trace back to the official state records they summarize.
Who it's for
Landmen tracking county activity, mineral owners watching their sections, operators and service companies planning the week, and anyone who wants to know what actually happened in the basin today — without wading through a dozen sources to find it.
