A 2008 pipeline and cable route survey conducted by Shell UK Ltd in the UK Continental Shelf blocks 23/22 and 23/27. The British Geological Survey created this record, SH08SS0001, for the Pierce field route between Pierce MDS and Pierce SDS. Data acquisition occurred between March and April 2008.
Use Cases
- Map the pipeline/cable route geometry between Pierce MDS and Pierce SDS coordinates for infrastructure planning.
- Analyze seabed conditions along the route in UKCS blocks 23/22 and 23/27 for hazard assessment.
- Correlate survey findings from March-April 2008 with other BGS reference number datasets for regional studies.
Strengths
- Survey conducted by a major operator, Shell UK Ltd, for a specific operational route.
- Precise temporal coverage documented for March and April 2008.
- Spatial coverage is explicitly defined for UK Continental Shelf blocks 23/22 and 23/27.
- Authoritative provenance from the British Geological Survey with reference number SH08SS0001.
Limitations
- No column definitions, sample data, or row counts are available to assess structure and volume.
- Data is from a single survey in 2008 and may not reflect current seabed or infrastructure conditions.
- File formats and data size are unknown, complicating integration and tool selection.
