Onshore Hydrocarbon Wells data

Data from onshore wells provided to BGS as part of an agreement with NSTA/OGA/DECC Digital data (includes, well logs, well reports and downhole data) for oil and gas exploration and appraisal wells drilled in the UK and held on behalf of the North Sea Transitory Authority (formerly the Oil & Gas Authority, formerly the Department of Energy and Climate Change). External data therefore BGS has no control on quality. Provided to OGA/DECC/BGS by oil companies as part of their obligations under licensing regulations, PON 9b regulations notice.

Limitations on Public Access
otherRestrictions
Other constraints
restricted
Other constraints
Some access restrictions in place where the well is still within its confidentiality period. Use is restricted to BGS staff and subject to confidentiality restrictions. Provided to OGA/DECC/BGS by oil companies as part of their obligations under licensing regulations, PON 9b notice. This is non-BGS data and is covered by agreements with other external companies.
Other constraints
The dataset has been formally approved by BGS for access by external clients under a BGS Digital Data Licence, issued via BGS's IPR Section. The dataset must not be provided to, or be accessible by, an external client until the IPR Section confirms that signed licence documentation is in place. Refer to the IPR Section (DigitalLE@bgs.ac.) if further advice is required.
