UK England onshore petroleum wellbores bottom holes (WGS84) contains geospatial data for onshore petroleum wellbores in England. The dataset is managed by the North Sea Transition Authority, with operators having a statutory obligation to supply data to the British Geological Survey. Data collection begins once a well has been spudded and the operator submits a notification.
Use Cases
- Map subsurface wellbore trajectories based on bottom hole location data.
- Analyze the spatial distribution of onshore drilling activity in England.
- Support regulatory oversight of well drilling and data submission obligations.
Strengths
- Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GEOJSON, KML, and GPKG.
- Managed by the authoritative regulatory body, the North Sea Transition Authority.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
