TRN 024/06/2016 - Provision of Joined Digital Well Logs in the regions of the UKCS covered by the 2016-2017 Government funding for seismic data acquisition / re-processing

As custodians of the UK exploration and production portfolio, the OGA has a responsibility to provide, update and maintain the regional geological framework within which integrated technical and commercial decisions can be made. As part of efforts to improve access to such datasets, we are seeking to create a set of Joined Digital Well Logs (JDWL) from wells drilled in the various areas of the UKCS which will benefit from the 2016-2017 £20MM Government funding either through new seismic acquisition or through re-processing of legacy (existing) seismic data.

The JDWL will be included in and add value to the 2016-2017 Government funded seismic data package which will be made freely available by the end of Q1 2017. Due to existing licensing arrangements, the OGA requires an original set of JDWL which it will then hold the rights to publish under an appropriate license agreement. The data which will be released as part of the overall 2016 Government Seismic data package will include QC’d, high quality Joined Digital Well Logs JDWL as well as well composite logs (including a top-to-bottom summary of the well showing tops, casing points, lithological descriptions etc. displayed against a background of selected joined wireline logs, usually available as a PDF file), geological tops, deviation data, check shots. The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) is hereby inviting tenders for the sole provision of Joined Digital Well Logs (JDWL) to support our efforts to maximise economic recovery of hydrocarbons on the UKCS.
