DMR Daily Report Shows No New Activity for Saturday

No new permits, spuds, completions, or pluggings were filed with state regulators on August 8.

Bakken Wire Staff·☀️Morning Wire·

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) reported no new activity in its daily filing report for Saturday, August 8, 2026. According to the DMR, the daily activity report contained no new filings for permits, well completions, spud reports, or well plugging records.

The DMR's daily activity report is a key source of operational data for the Bakken region, tracking the regulatory lifecycle of oil and gas wells from initial permitting through to final closure. A day with no new filings is not uncommon and typically occurs on weekends and state holidays when regulatory offices are closed and operator field activity slows.

For Bakken operators and service companies, these reports provide a near-real-time pulse on drilling, completion, and permitting trends across the Williston Basin. The absence of new filings indicates a routine weekend slowdown in regulatory submissions. Activity and new filings are expected to resume with the next business day.
