DMR Daily Activity Report Shows No New Filings for Saturday

A day with no new permits, spuds, or completions reported is routine, particularly on weekends.

Bakken Wire Staff·☀️Morning Wire·

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) daily activity report for Saturday, September 12, contained no new filings, according to the agency's data.

The DMR daily report typically lists new drilling permits approved, wells spudded (drilling begun), completions reported, and wells plugged. The absence of new entries for a given day is a normal occurrence in the state's oil and gas regulatory system.

Such no-activity reports are common on weekends and state holidays when operator and regulatory office activity slows. The next report, expected later today, will cover any filings submitted on Sunday.

The daily activity report is a key source of operational intelligence for Bakken producers, service companies, and mineral rights owners, providing a near-real-time snapshot of drilling and completion activity across the Williston Basin.
