UKCS data initiatives released related to 31st round
This dataset is a structured index of subsurface and geological research products sourced from multiple UK and international providers. The entries represent deliverables from three main initiatives: Regional Geological Maps, the 31st Round Data Release, and the Frontier Basins Research Programme. Included products range from regional geological map compilations (e.g., SW Approaches, Anglo-Paris Basin, NNS, ESP, Fair Isle Basin, North of Shetland), to hydrocarbon potential assessments such as the Hypo-Lias Phase 1 UK Addendum by TNO. Additional technical subsurface data are also present, including expanded CGG log datasets covering additional wells. The dataset also captures significant academic and collaborative research outputs, such as Frontier Basins Research Workshops material (from OGA, Heriot-Watt University, Durham University, etc.) and new appraisals of underexplored UKCS regions. Overall, the dataset serves as a discovery and reference catalogue for regional geological understanding, frontier basin evaluation, and exploration screening across the UK Continental Shelf.

Product description PROD_DESC | string | 5 values: Contains a set of regional geological maps for the given area including: depth structure, isochores, subcrop and supercrop, structural elements, depositional facies, reservoir distribution, source rock, well penetration and hydrocarbon occurrence. Includes PDF documents with stratigraphic and petroleum systems charts and explanations of the various maps. Also include digital copies of sand flags (.las) and depth and thickness grids (.xyz). (2), This delivery provides material presented at the recent Frontier Basins Research Workshop held on 27th June 2018. The workshop was attended by industry delegates and was organised to enable industry to gain access to results from the 3 post-doctoral research projects that the OGA has funded in the UK Rockall, Mid North Sea High and SW Approaches areas of the UKCS. (1), This delivery represents an additional small selection of CGG joined digital well logs purchased by the OGA for publication. (1)… |
