DMR Daily Activity Report Shows No New Filings for Sunday

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) reported no new activity filings in its daily report for Sunday, May 31, 2026. The report, which tracks regulatory filings from the previous day, listed no new permits, spud notices, well completions, or plugged wells.

The DMR's daily activity report is a key snapshot of regulatory movement in the Bakken formation. It typically includes new drilling permits approved, notices that drilling has begun (spudding), reports of wells that have finished the completion process and are ready for production, and notices of wells being permanently sealed.

Days with no reported activity are normal, particularly on weekends and holidays when regulatory and company offices are typically closed. The lack of filings does not indicate a halt in ongoing drilling or production operations across the Williston Basin.

Operators and service companies monitor the daily report for signals of near-term activity shifts. Consistent periods of low permitting can precede a slowdown in rig activity, while spikes can indicate an acceleration. The next report, covering activity from Monday, June 1, will be released tomorrow.
