DMR Daily Activity Report Shows No New Filings for Sunday

No new permits, spuds, or completions were recorded by state regulators on October 11.

Bakken Wire Staff·☀️Morning Wire·

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) reported no new activity in its daily filing report for Sunday, October 11, 2026, according to the agency's data release.

The daily activity report typically lists new drilling permits approved, wells spudded, completions reported, and wells plugged. The absence of new filings is a regular occurrence, particularly on weekends and during holidays when regulatory and company offices are closed.

The DMR's daily report is a key source of near-real-time data for Bakken operators, service companies, and mineral owners tracking development. While daily fluctuations are normal, the weekly and monthly tallies provide a clearer picture of industry activity levels in the Williston Basin.

The next report, expected later today, will cover any filings submitted on Monday.

DMR Daily Activity Report Shows No New Filings for Saturday

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) daily activity report for Saturday, October 10, 2026, showed no new regulatory filings, according to the agency's data. The daily report typically lists new drilling permits issued, well completions reported, notices of spudding (the start of drilling), and wells officially plugged. The absence of new activity on a Saturday is a normal occurrence, as regulatory and company filings often slow during weekends and holidays. Such pauses in reported activity do not necessarily reflect a halt in field operations but indicate a lull in the submission of official paperwork to state regulators. The Bakken formation in western North Dakota remains one of the nation's most prolific oil-producing regions. The next report from the DMR, covering activity for Sunday, October 11, is expected to be released on Monday.
