Get Offshore Hydrocarbon Wells items

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

f'json' | 'html' | 'jsonld' | 'csv'

The optional f parameter indicates the output format which the server shall provide as part of the response document. The default format is GeoJSON.

lang'en-US'

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.

bboxnumber[]

Only features that have a geometry that intersects the bounding box are selected.The bounding box is provided as four or six numbers, depending on whether the coordinate reference system includes a vertical axis (height or depth).

limitinteger

The optional limit parameter limits the number of items that are presented in the response document (maximum=1000000, default=10).

crsstring uri

Indicates the coordinate reference system for the results.

bbox-crsstring uri

Indicates the coordinate reference system for the given bbox coordinates.

propertiesstring[]

The properties that should be included. The parameter value is a comma-separated list of property names.

vendorSpecificParametersobject

Additional "free-form" parameters that are not explicitly defined

skipGeometryboolean

This option can be used to skip response geometries for each feature.

offsetinteger

The optional offset parameter indicates the index within the result set from which the server shall begin presenting results in the response document. The first element has an index of 0 (default).
