The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) has announced a data move from the National Hydrocarbons Data Archive (NHDA), held at the British Geological Survey, to the NSTA’s National Data Repository (NDR) – a freely available archive which already contains one petabyte of North Sea data, including seismic surveys and wellbore information – to consolidate legacy information in one place and help users.
More than 4,000 files, some dating from 1978, but most from the 1980s and 1990s, and containing information about wellbores and seismic surveys, have been uploaded to the NDR and are now available for users including those from industry and academia. The information, which includes offshore surveys and well data, now more easily supports various potential energy transition use cases, such as carbon storage and offshore wind.
