DUCs and wells off-line for operational reasons are tracked here.

A huge, huge "thank you" to Lynn Helms and his staff at the NDIC getting this information out in a timely and transparent manner. I am not aware of any other state that does such a good job providing such data. 

Crude oil production:
  • May, 2020, preliminary: 858,395 bopd
  • April, 2020, final: 1,221,019 bopd
Gas production:
  • May, 2020, preliminary: 59,778,353 MCF production; 88% captured
  • April, 2020, final: 81,355,528 MCF production; 88% captured
BOE:
  • May, preliminary: 868,356 boepd
  • April: 1,234,576 boepd
Producing wells:
  • May, preliminary: 12,809; 88% middle Bakken and Three Forks; 12% from legacy conventional pools
  • April, final: 15,474; 
Wells off-line:
  • May, 2020: when I went through the May, 2020, data (as it was released in early July), it was very, very obvious that ND Bakken operators shut in their wells in May, not April).
  • May, 2020, preliminary:
    • inactive: 6,108
    • DUCs: 952 
    • total: 7,060
  • April, 2020, final:
    • inactive: 2,168
    • DUCs: 944
    • total: 3,112 (for all that talk about all the wells coming off line, that does not appear to be true in the Bakken; operators simply drilled fewer wells)
Permitting:
  • June, 2020: 72 drilling
  • May, 2020: 59 drilling
  • April, 2020: 62 drilling
Rig count:
  • Today: 10
  • June, 2020: 12
  • May, 2020: 17
  • April, 2020: 35
Completions:
  • May, 2020: 12 (preliminary)
  • April, 2020: 58 (revised)
  • March, 2020: 120 (final)
