Offshore Wells with Bottom Hole Locations and Wellbore Paths

Wellbore paths and locations for offshore wells in the UK, managed by the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA). Data collection begins after a well is spudded, with operators submitting notifications via the Wells Operations Notification System (WONS). The dataset includes well origin points, bottom hole locations, and straight-line connections between them.

Use Cases

• Map offshore drilling activity based on well origin and bottom hole locations mentioned in the description.
• Analyze wellbore trajectory and subsurface footprint based on the straight-line connection data.
• Monitor regulatory compliance for offshore operations based on data submission requirements to the NSTA and BGS.
• Model subsurface infrastructure networks based on the spatial relationships between top and bottom hole points.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (KML, GEOJSON, CSV) for interoperability.
• Data collection follows statutory obligations and official procedures via the WONS system.
• Includes distinct spatial features: well origin, bottom hole, and their straight-line connection.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
