Pore pressure measurements from the Bunter Sandstone Formation across the Southern North Sea of the UK Continental Shelf, including quadrants 41-50. The data were compiled by British Geological Survey researchers from released offshore legacy well records held by the UK National Data Repository. This compilation supports research projects evaluating the formation's potential for carbon dioxide storage.
Use Cases
- Model subsurface pressure gradients for CCS site selection based on direct pressure measurements.
- Calibrate geomechanical models for reservoir integrity using formation pressure tester data.
- Assess regional storage capacity in the Bunter Sandstone Formation based on pressure estimates from Drill Stem Tests.
Strengths
- Data sourced from the authoritative UK National Data Repository (NDR).
- Includes direct measurements from specialized downhole tools like the Repeat Formation Tester (RFT).
- Compiled by the British Geological Survey for specific carbon storage research.
Limitations
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
