UK Oil and Gas Exploration Prospects from Relinquishment Reports Since 2004

A spatial database of mapped oil and gas exploration leads and prospects compiled by the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA). The data is derived from relinquishment reports submitted to the NSTA since 2004, enabling spatial viewing and filtering by reservoir age. It includes links to the original published reports for further context.

Use Cases

• Spatial analysis of potential hydrocarbon prospects based on mapped locations.
• Filtering exploration opportunities by geological reservoir age.
• Linking spatial data points to detailed technical reports for due diligence.

Strengths

• Data compiled from official industry reports submitted since 2004.
• Includes direct links to source relinquishment reports for verification.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
