DMR Daily Activity Report Shows No New Filings for Sunday

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources reported no new permit, spud, or completion activity for July 19, 2026.

Bakken Wire Staff·☀️Morning Wire·

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) published no new activity filings in its daily report for Sunday, July 19, 2026. According to the DMR, there were no new permits issued, wells spudded, completions reported, or wells plugged.

The daily DMR activity report is a key snapshot of regulatory and operational momentum in the Bakken formation. It typically lists new drilling permits approved, wells that have started drilling (spud), wells that have finished completion work and are ready for production, and wells that have been permanently plugged.

Days with no reported activity are a normal occurrence in the state's oil and gas industry, according to the DMR. Such lulls frequently happen on weekends and state holidays when regulatory offices are closed and field operations may be reduced. The lack of filings for a single day does not indicate a trend, as weekly and monthly totals provide a more comprehensive view of industry activity levels.

Operators and service companies in the Williston Basin monitor these daily reports for signals of near-term drilling and completion plans. The next report, covering activity for Monday, July 20, is expected to be released on Tuesday.

No New Filings Reported in North Dakota DMR Daily Activity Report

The daily report typically lists new drilling permits approved, well spud notices, well completions, and notices of well plugging. A day with no reported activity is not unusual, especially following a weekend when regulatory filings often pause. For Bakken operators and service companies, the report serves as a near-real-time pulse of regulatory activity. Consistent periods without new permits or spud notices can signal a temporary lull in frontline drilling operations, though it does not reflect broader production or development planning. The next report, expected later today, will cover any new activity filed on Monday, September 14.
