OGA releases final UKCS geological datasets

The UK Oil & Gas Authority (OGA) has released the final set of geological maps from the UKCS Regional Geological Maps project.

The maps produced by Lloyd’s Register mark the culmination of a three-year project, which has delivered a set of high quality digital, updateable, regional geological maps and associated databases for all the UK’s offshore basins – delivering a key action identified in the Wood Review.

The final geographic series covers the West of Shetlands, Rockall Trough, Irish Sea and Cardigan Bay. In addition, a single merged set of maps and databases for the whole of the UKCS is now available, combining each of the individual geographic areas, published on a rolling basis throughout the duration of the project.
