DMR Daily Activity Report Shows No New Filings for Sunday

A quiet day in North Dakota oilfield permitting and drilling activity is reported, with no new applications or spud notices filed.

Bakken Wire Staff·☀️Morning Wire·

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) daily activity report for Sunday, September 20, 2026, contained no new filings, according to the agency's data.

The daily report typically lists new drilling permits approved, well completions reported, wells spudded (drilling begun), and notices of well plugging. The absence of new activity on a Sunday is a normal occurrence for the state's oil and gas regulatory system.

No-activity days are common on weekends and during state holidays, as companies and regulatory processing slow. The report serves as a key daily snapshot of administrative and operational movement for Bakken operators and service companies.

The next report, expected later today, will reflect any new applications or actions processed by the DMR on Monday.
