UKOGL provides listing of bottom hole temperatures measured in wells drilled for oil & gas in the UK Onshore
UKOGL has generated a listing of 1,838 temperatures vs depths recorded by logging runs and testing from well data for UK Onshore wells. The listing can be downloaded in Excel format from UKOGL here. Note that downhole temperatures from logging runs are generally recorded shortly after drilling mud has been circulated and the readings are likely to be lower than actual formation temperatures.
BP Well Tapes
UKOGL is pleased to announce a significant enhancement to its digital well data offering,
Free to download via the interactive map.
BP has recently provided access to its extensive holding of onshore well tapes and, with initial transcription expertise from OvationData, all tapes have now been decoded and converted by Lynx Information Systems to LAS files that can be read without the need for specialist software.
As a result of this exercise, between February and April 2024 an additional 2,143 digital well log files have been added, with new data for 286 wells and boreholes now available for free access, as listed below. The substantial costs of this exercise will be met from UKOGL existing cash reserves.
New well data available for download:
DUG Technology Ltd provides interpretation software for Beneath Britain
UKOGL is very grateful for the provision at no charge of DUG Insight seismic interpretation software on an academic basis for use in Beneath Britain research projects. This provides a major boost to studies by our academic and retired associates on the deep geology of UK onshore areas.
New Data Available From UKOGL in Warwickshire: Daw Mill 3D Seismic & Borehole LAS Data
UKOGL are pleased to announce that post stack seismic data and digital LAS data located over the Daw Mill 3D survey in Warwickshire have been added to the UKOGL archive. The data is available to download via the UKOGL interactive map.
The new Coal Authority data over the area displayed in the map below can be accessed for free under the Open Government Licence.
The available post stack data for the Daw Mill survey was originally recorded and processed in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2011, expanding the coverage to the South West of the original 2002 survey with each subsequent year of recording.
The final 2011 merged and reprocessed post stack 3D data volume provides full seismic data coverage over the Daw Mill survey area.
In support of the available 3D seismic, LAS data is available to download for 32 of the 37 coal boreholes that are currently displayed by UKOGL over the area of the Daw Mill 3D survey, and this includes comprehensive logging suites for the newly added Eaves Green Lane BH and Keatley Pool BH.
These two new data sets add to the coverage that’s already provided by the 2D Coal Authority seismic data over this area of Warwickshire (displayed in the map below). All Coal Authority data is available to download for free from the UKOGL interactive map.
BGS and Coal Authority Post Stack Seismic Data – View, Access & Download for free from UKOGL
UKOGL are pleased to announce that in agreement with the British Geological Survey, post stack digital data recorded by the BGS and the Coal Authority can now be accessed free of charge under the Open Government Licence by all users of the UKOGL interactive map.
Post stack data is output under an Open Government Licence by UKOGL to both academic and commercial entities with full confidentiality.
The post stack data coverage that can be accessed under the Open Government Licence via the UKOGL Interactive map is displayed below:
Lines on the map can be selected individually and added to your ‘Shopping Cart’ or by creating an ‘Area of Interest’ and then adding all lines in a single selection process.
Single line selection:
- Select each individual line
- Select ‘Add to Selection’ via the line information panel
- Select the ‘shopping cart’ icon to display the selected lines
Multiple line selection:
- On the map select the ‘shopping cart’ icon
- Select the ‘Make Selection’ icon
- Create an area of interest over the lines to automatically add them to your ‘basket’
Lines that have been added to your basket can be previewed and removed, allowing the data selection to be refined if required.
Data Access and Download:
Once all your required lines have been selected:
- Select the ‘Download’ icon
- Select the ‘Download Open Government Seismic Data’ icon
- Fill in your details, data options and email address and select ‘ Send Request’
Your data request for post stack seismic data will be sent to UKOGL and you will receive an email link to enable the data that’s available under the Open Government Licence to be downloaded.
Access to raw and pre-stack data under the Open Government Licence is available, but it may be subject to additional charges and fees and you will be contacted separately if pre-stack data is requested.
All seismic data not available under an Open Government Licence can still be licensed and accessed for both commercial and academic use through UKOGL.
UK Onshore LAS Data – UKOGL download update.
UKOGL is pleased to announce important additions to the LAS files downloadable from its website:
– Key wells in Kent, Hampshire, Worcester Graben, West Midlands and Norfolk areas donated by Shell;
– Digitised logs in the Eakring area donated by Egdon Resources; and
– UKOGL digitised logs of older wells and boreholes in East Anglia, Herefordshire and Somerset
Negotiations are in progress to obtain LAS files for a significant number of additional wells from their original operators.
The UKOGL Trustees would like to express their gratitude for the assistance provided by all these companies in making available valuable datasets for open access by all parties.
LAS data coverage in Southern Britain available to download from UKOGL (October 2023)

Onshore Well Data Coverage – LAS Data Update
UKOGL has recently added to its coverage of onshore well data that’s available to download from the interactive map.
Transcribed and reformatted from a collection of National Coal Board data, it was originally supplied on 5 1/4″ floppy disks and is now availble to download as LAS data files.
Onshore wells with available LAS data can be filtered to highlight the coveage and provide access to the files via the interactive map.
This data is made available as part of the ongoing project to provide access to UK onshore LAS data via the UKOGL interactive map.
UKOGL ANNOUNCES THE PROVISION OF LAS DATA FOR OIL & GAS WELLS
IN ANOTHER MAJOR STEP FORWARD IN THE PROVISION OF ONSHORE DATA, UKOGL ANNOUNCES THE PROVISION OF LAS DATA FOR OIL & GAS WELLS
Following the release of UK Onshore oil & gas well composite logs via the UK Onshore Geophysical Library interactive map, UKOGL is pleased to announce the next stage of its initiative to provide simple free access to deep borehole information. UK onshore digital well data in LAS format can now be downloaded without charge.
