UKCS offshore relinquishment report opportunities

As part of the NSTA making more data accessible to industry, a spatial database of mapped exploration leads and prospects is being made available. This additional resource has been compiled from information contained in relinquishment reports that have been provided to the NSTA since 2004. This product enables the location of mapped opportunities to be viewed spatially and also filtered according to reservoir age. The database also provides a link to the published relinquishment reports so that the reports can be easily accessed via this spatial view.
