Oilfield in a box: The Hutton Field Dataset

This 'oilfield in a box' dataset contains all of the raw data available from the Hutton hydrocarbon field in the northern North Sea (quadrant 211), provided to BGS (British Geological Survey) through the National Hydrocarbon Data Archive. Petroleum licences issued by the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) require that all hydrocarbon data from the UK continental shelf (UKCS) are preserved in perpetuity and in usable condition. Historically, a route to end this obligation was achieved by archiving data in the National Hydrocarbon Data Archive (NHDA), which was active from 2003 to 2016. The NHDA, operated by BGS on behalf of the UK Government, was the primary long-term data archive for UK offshore oil and gas exploration and production activity data. During its life the NHDA was used by various operators and organisations to archive a range of UKCS data from one field, 15 licences, 33 seismic surveys and 102 wells. Details on these can be found at the web link: http://www.bgs.ac.uk/nhda/home.html After decommissioning the Hutton Field, the (then) operator Kerr McGee deposited the well and seismic data within the NHDA. The NHDA has taken over management of these data and has now licensed it for academic and non-commercial use. This dataset represents a comprehensive record of the type of information collected over the lifetime of a hydrocarbon field, and comprises: borehole data from 65 wells across the Hutton Field, including wireline logs and reports; a 3D seismic survey; stratigraphic and production data.
