North Dakota DMR Reports No New Activity Filings for Monday

The state's daily oil and gas regulatory report showed no new permits, spuds, completions, or plugging filings for September 7.

Bakken Wire Staff·☀️Morning Wire·

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) issued no new activity filings in its daily report for Monday, September 7, 2026, according to the agency's data.

The DMR's daily activity report typically lists new drilling permits approved, wells spudded (drilling commenced), wells completed, and wells plugged. A day with no reported activity is not unusual, especially following weekends and holidays, as company filings and state processing can lag.

The absence of new permits or spud notices indicates a pause in formal regulatory steps for Bakken operators on that date. The report is a key daily snapshot of forward-looking drilling activity and well status changes in the Williston Basin.

Regular monitoring of the report provides insights into operator plans and the pace of development across North Dakota's oil fields. Activity levels typically resume with new filings in subsequent reports.
