UKCS data initiatives released related to 30th round

This dataset is a product‑level catalogue of geoscience and subsurface information for the UK Continental Shelf, created to support the 30th Round Data Release and related initiatives. It aggregates deliverables from multiple providers—including national and commercial contributors—such as OGA/NSTA, CGG, Getech, Shell/ExxonMobil, Ikon, APT, LR and others. Product types span digital well logs (including a joined set covering ~1,100 wells), core analysis and formation pressure data, geochemistry databases (with coverage for Central North Sea, South, and West of Shetland), technical and sequence stratigraphy reports, multi‑satellite gravity data, and regional geological maps (e.g., CNS and Moray Firth). The catalogue functions as a discovery layer rather than a file repository, directing users to authoritative hosting locations. It is well suited for exploration screening, regional/basin studies, play fairway mapping, and well planning, enabling quick triage of available UKCS legacy and released datasets.
