This layer shows hydrocarbon wells. The United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) offshore hydrocarbon well borehole materials collection contains material from approximately 9000 wells, including over 300km of drillcore and 4.5 million samples of cuttings. During 2011–12, the collection was transferred from Gilmerton to Keyworth. Transferred core has been photographed and links to the photos are provided where available. You can also use a form to search the offshore hydrocarbon wells database. Further information for UKCS wells, seismic surveys, production infrastructure and licences, including a searchable form and a map interface are publically available from the UK National Data Repository (NDR) and the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA).
Query parameters
The properties that should be included. The parameter value is a comma-separated list of property names.
The optional f parameter indicates the output format which the server shall provide as part of the response document. The default format is GeoJSON.
The profile to be applied to a given request
The optional lang parameter instructs the server return a response in a certain language, if supported. If the language is not among the available values, the Accept-Language header language will be used if it is supported. If the header is missing, the default server language is used. Note that providers may only support a single language (or often no language at all), that can be different from the server language. Language strings can be written in a complex (e.g. "fr-CA,fr;q=0.9,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.7"), simple (e.g. "de") or locale-like (e.g. "de-CH" or "fr_BE") fashion.
