No New Filings in Wednesday's North Dakota DMR Daily Activity Report

The state's daily regulatory update showed no new permits, spuds, completions, or pluggings for April 29.

Bakken Wire Staff·☀️Morning Wire·

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) daily activity report for Wednesday, April 29, 2026, contained no new regulatory filings, according to the agency's data.

The report, published each weekday, typically lists new drilling permits approved, wells that have been spudded (drilling commenced), wells that have been completed, and wells that have been plugged. The absence of new entries indicates no such actions were formally filed with the state on Wednesday.

Days with no activity are a normal occurrence in the state's oil and gas regulatory cycle. They can happen during slower operational periods, around holidays, or due to administrative processing timelines. The report reflects filings submitted by operators, not necessarily real-time physical activity at well sites.

The next report, covering activity for Thursday, April 30, will be published on Friday, May 1.

DMR Daily Activity Report Shows No New Permits or Filings Sunday

No new oil and gas activity was recorded in North Dakota’s official daily report for Sunday, October 4, according to the state Department of Mineral Resources. The DMR's daily activity report, which tracks regulatory filings from operators, contained no new permits, well completions, spud reports, or notices of plugged wells.
