UK Offshore Oil and Gas Daily Production Data by Wellbore

Daily production data from individual wellbores in UK Continental Shelf fields that ceased production since January 2018, reported under the Energy Act 2016. The data includes daily values for gas, oil, and water, as well as well head and bottom hole pressures and temperatures where available. It is published by the Government Digital Service and was last updated on 2024-01-24.

Use Cases

• Model production decline curves based on daily gas and oil output values.
• Analyze reservoir pressure and temperature trends from well head and bottom hole data.
• Map production history and infrastructure using the geospatial (KML, GEOJSON) data formats.

Strengths

• Data is mandated by law (Energy Act 2016), suggesting regulatory completeness.
• Covers the full life of fields for all UKCS fields that ceased production since January 2018.
• Includes multiple data types: daily production metrics and physical measurements (pressure, temperature).

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect temporal bias, as it is reportable only after permanent cessation of production.
