Exploration data

The Geological Survey of Northern Ireland holds copies of most of the major exploration datasets acquired by petroleum licensees and these are available from GSNI on their release from confidentiality.

These include seismic, well and other exploration data and, wherever possible, it will be supplied in digital formats. However, in some cases, the data may be incomplete or only available as paper copies — this tends to be older datasets.
