OGA PWA Wells: Post-Well Analysis Assessments for UK Oil and Gas Wells

Post Well Analysis (PWA) reports conducted by the UK's Oil and Gas Authority (OGA). The layer contains links to individual assessments for each well, providing detailed geological and operational evaluations. Data is published by the Government Digital Service under an Open Government Licence and is available in multiple geospatial and tabular formats.

Use Cases

• Mapping well locations and their associated reports based on the geospatial layer description.
• Analyzing post-drilling outcomes and geological findings referenced in the individual assessments.
• Integrating well performance data with other energy datasets using the provided geospatial links.

Strengths

• Published by a government authority (Oil and Gas Authority), suggesting official provenance.
• Available in multiple interoperable formats, including KML, GEOJSON, and CSV.

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.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
