Bakken Wire Staff·☀️Morning Wire·

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) reported no new daily oil and gas activity for Saturday, June 13, 2026, according to its published report.

The DMR's daily activity report typically lists new drilling permits approved, wells spudded (drilling commenced), wells completed, and wells plugged. The absence of new filings on any given day, particularly on a weekend, is a normal occurrence within the regulatory reporting cycle.

Industry activity in the Bakken region fluctuates daily, and reporting lags, especially around Saturdays and Sundays, are common. The next comprehensive update on statewide drilling and completion activity will be provided in the weekly North Dakota drilling statistics report, typically issued on Fridays.
