North Dakota DMR Reports No New Daily Oil & Gas Activity

The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) reported no new daily activity filings for Saturday, June 27, 2026, according to the agency's daily activity report. No new permits to drill, well completions, spud reports, or plugging records were issued.

The DMR's daily activity report is a key tracker of operational movement in the Bakken formation, providing a near-real-time snapshot of industry work. It typically lists new drilling permits approved, wells that have started drilling (spudded), wells that have finished drilling and been completed, and wells that have been permanently plugged.

Days with no reported activity are normal, particularly on weekends and during holidays, when regulatory offices are closed and field operations often slow. The lack of filings indicates a routine weekend pause in new regulatory submissions from operators across the Williston Basin.

The next report, expected Monday, will provide an updated view of permitting and drilling activity as the new work week begins. Bakken operators and service companies use this data to gauge near-term drilling and completion trends in the state's primary oil-producing region.
