  1. I have been trying to find a list or a map of issued drilling permits. I am curious to seeing where the operators are moving their rigs and trying to find future locations before they move to the locations. If you could help me out in anyway that would be amazing.

  2. 1. I am not aware of a single list with all the permits easily available to the public all in one place. The NDIC website reports all new permits on a daily basis.

    Go to the NDIC website:

    https://www.dmr.nd.gov/oilgas/

    When you get there, go to the sidebar on the left and click on "Daily Activity Reports," the fifth item down.

    It would be very painful, but you can also see all permits (empty circle), confidential wells (solid orange), drilling but not completed wells (empty green circle), and completed wells (solid black) at the NDIC map. Go to the NDIC website (as above) and go to the same sidebar at the left and click on "GIS Map Service," the 11th item down.

    2. With rare exceptions, you will not find a list of where the rigs are headed next. Even the state of North Dakota does not know where they are headed next in most cases. The best you can do is go to the same NDIC website, go to the sidebar at the left, and click on "Active Drilling Rigs," the fourth item down. At that database, the very last column shows where the rig is headed next (generally "Unknown").
