The UK onshore seismic survey WYF3D19 and associated supporting data is now available to access from UKOGL following the end of the proprietary period.
Originally recorded in 2019 by Perenco, the 86km2 3D survey provides additional seismic data coverage over the Dorset South coast with the 1998 Wytch-Farm-98 3D survey situated to the North and Poole Bay located to the East.
Survey data is available for both commercial and academic use (subject to applicable licensing and output charges). Further information about the survey and access to the data is available via the UKOGL website and interactive map.
UKOGL Trustees are pleased to announce that we have recently completed the archive and release of previously unavailable pre and post-stack digital data sets from a number of Deepwood Mining exploration surveys, located onshore in the SW Pennines, 40 years after they were recorded.
These original digital seismic data sets were not available to UKOGL when prints of seismic lines were scanned and vectorised for archiving in 2005.
The Trustees would like to thank the British Geological Survey for their assistance in rescuing these data and making them available for archive. The data had been stored in very poor conditions for many years and this was reflected in the state of the media when supplied to UKOGL. Data rescued consisted of a range of media formats, including 9 track magnetic reels, hardcopy paper and sepia sections, navigation plots and contoured base maps. A large proportion of the hardcopy paper and sepia media was damp and covered in mould, having to be dried out and cleaned before any attempt could be made to assess and archive.
The 9 track magnetic reels were in a similar condition and were sent out to Ovation Data for stiction treatment and transcription in order to maximise the data recovery process.
Despite the very poor condition of the data, a large proportion has been recovered and is now available from UKOGL. Please contact us for more information.
UKOGL have added a new filter option to the Wells layer of the Interactive Map to helps users when searching for UK onshore data. The wells displayed on the map can now be filtered using the ‘UKOGL last updated since’ option to only display the wells that have had new or updated data added to the site since the user defined date.
Wells that haven’t had any new data added after the user selected date will not be displayed. The new filter option can be also be combined with other available search options to further refine a query.
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.
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:

In support of the recent release of 2D, 3D seismic and well data located over Poole Bay, UKOGL have made available for download a selected set of data located offshore to the southwest of the Isle of Wight which provides greater coverage to tie this newly designated landward area to eastern onshore data. 11 of the 37 lines in the OX98-90 survey run onshore to enable seamless interpretation from onshore to offshore. The data set includes reprocessed 2D versions not available in the UK National Data Repository (NDR).
Instructions on how to access this data can be accessed via the Poole Bay Blog post here.
The intention of this exercise is to make it easier for interested parties to study this key area of British Geology. Additional offshore 2D data is available from the NDR but coordinates will need to be transformed to OSGB to match.
