The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources' daily report showed zero new permits, spuds, completions, or pluggings for September 19.

Bakken Wire Staff·☀️Morning Wire·

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) published no new regulatory activity in its daily report for Saturday, September 19, 2026. The report, which tracks key regulatory filings from the previous day, contained no new entries for permits, spud notices, well completions, or well plugging records.

The daily activity report is a standard snapshot of administrative progress for oil and gas operations in the state. It typically lists new drilling permits approved by the state, notifications that a rig has spudded (begun drilling) a new well, reports of wells that have been completed and are ready for production, and official records of wells that have been permanently plugged.

Days with no reported activity are common and expected, particularly on weekends and during state holidays. The lack of filings reflects the standard administrative and field operation schedules within the industry. The next report, covering activity from Sunday, will be issued by the DMR on Monday.

Koda Resources Wins Four Daneville Permits in DMR Report

North Dakota's DMR Daily Activity Report for yesterday's filings showed four new permits approved, all issued to Koda Resources Operating: LLC in Divide County's Daneville field. The Bakken formation is North Dakota's primary oil-producing region, and DMR permit filings are a routine indicator of upcoming drilling activity. The permits, numbered 43447 through 43450, cover wells ALE 1534-5BH, ALE 1534-6BH, ALE 1534-7BH and ALE 1534-8BH. All four are located in Divide County and are associated with the Daneville field, according to the DMR report. The four permits were numbered consecutively from 43447 to 43450, and each carries the ALE 1534 prefix, indicating the wells are part of the same ALE 1534 series. The approval of four permits to a single operator makes Koda Resources the most active operator in the new-permit category for the day. The DMR report also included an additional-information section that referenced several operators and wells, primarily in...

Formentera gets two new Bakken permits in Burke County

Formentera Operations LLC received two new drilling permits in the DMR Daily Activity Report for yesterday's filings. The approved-permits category listed permits 43445 and 43446, both in Burke County's Larson field, according to the report. Permit 43445 is for the DAVIDSON-23-11 N514H well, and permit 43446 is for the LAR1-23-02 S516H well. The filings place Formentera's new activity in the northern Williston Basin, where the Larson field is located. The approved-permits section did not list any other operator receiving new permits in the data provided. That makes Formentera the most active operator in the new-permit category for the day. The report's additional information section listed several operators with permit-related entries. Koda Resources Operating LLC had the largest number of items in that section, with three entries tied to wells in Divide County.

No New Activity Reported in DMR Daily Filing for Sunday

No new drilling or permitting activity was reported for North Dakota in the Department of Mineral Resources' daily activity report for Sunday, November 1, according to the agency. The DMR daily report typically lists new drilling permits approved, wells spudded (drilling commenced), completions reported, and wells plugged. The absence of new filings indicates a quiet day for regulatory filings from operators across the Bakken formation and Williston Basin. Days with no reported activity are not uncommon, particularly on weekends and during holidays, when state offices are closed and company reporting may be delayed. The next report, expected later today, will reflect any filings processed on Monday, November 2. The daily activity report is a key indicator of near-term operational tempo for oil and gas producers in the state. A sustained period of low or no permitting activity can signal a pullback in drilling plans, while a surge in spud or...
