DMR Daily Activity Report Shows No New Filings for Saturday

The North Dakota regulator's daily report of permits, spuds, and completions listed no new activity on November 7, a common weekend occurrence.

Bakken Wire Staff·☀️Morning Wire·

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) daily activity report for Saturday, November 7, 2026, contained no new filings, according to the agency's data release.

The DMR daily activity report is a key document for operators and service companies in the Bakken, tracking new drilling permits issued, wells spudded, wells completed, and wells plugged. A day with no new activity filings is a normal occurrence, especially on weekends and holidays when regulatory offices are closed and field activity often slows.

The absence of new permits or completion notices does not necessarily indicate a broader slowdown. Operators frequently batch permit applications and schedule drilling and fracking operations for weekdays. The next report, expected later today, will provide an updated snapshot of regulatory and drilling activity across the Williston Basin.
