No New Permits, Spuds Filed in Friday's DMR Daily Report

The state's daily oil and gas activity report showed no new filings for July 3, a common occurrence around holidays.

Bakken Wire Staff·☀️Morning Wire·

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) daily activity report for Friday, July 3, contained no new filings, according to the agency's data release.

The daily report typically lists new drilling permits approved, well completions reported, spud notices (when drilling begins), and applications to plug and abandon wells. The absence of new filings indicates no operators submitted these official notifications to the state on Thursday or early Friday.

No-activity days are normal in the reporting cycle, especially preceding weekends and holidays like the Independence Day weekend. The DMR's daily report provides a near-real-time snapshot of administrative and physical activity for Bakken Shale and statewide operators.

The next report, expected early next week, will show if activity resumed following the holiday period.
