Recent Windows Updates appear to have had an adverse affect on the functionality of the UKOGL Interactive Map when viewed with Internet Explorer. We are working hard to identify and resolve these issues.
Currently the map has been tested to work with Internet Explorer 8-11. If you experience problems it may help to clear the browser cache and reload the map.
Alternative browsers are unaffected and the site appears robust when utilised with either Chrome, Firefox or Opera.

The Time Filter function has now been upgraded to allow 2D seismic and wells to be filtered independently of each other. For example, in the snap shot below, the seismic has been filtered to just show those lines acquired between 1945 and 1970, displayed against a backdrop of the current wells coverage.
Licence Relinquishment Reports, as provided to DECC by operators, are available to view and save through the Historic Tab on the UKOGL interactive map.
Recent enhancements include the addition of a drop down list in the Table Of Contents, detailing the Licences for which reports are currently available, along with a quick view facility.
With the opening of the 14th Onshore round, we have updated the UKOGL Map to display the blocks on offer (pale orange).
For official information on the round, please visit the DECC website here.
The 2D seismic information display has been revamped and now includes Acquisition Contractor and Energy Source.
Full Field and Processing parameters, as presented on the original seismic sections, still remain available to view via the Side Label hyperlink.
Once again, UKOGL will be exhibiting at the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival. We will be in the Grand Marquee on May 3rd & 4th.
Full programme details can be found HERE
We hope to see you there.
We have expanded our Interactive Map search functionality to now include Post Codes and a full Gazetteer, allowing for the efficient location of and zoom to any area of interest.
We have added a new layer to the Interactive Map, allowing for the display of governmental administrative and electoral boundaries. This information is supplied as an Open Data Source by the Ordnance Survey through their Boundary-Line product.
We are pleased to be able to provide a unique view of the licensing regime prior to the introduction of Production Licences in 1967. Utilising original hand written ledgers as held in Whitehall archives and on-line records from the London Gazette, we have been able to piece together a complete history of Prospecting Licences, as issued between 1935 and 1965 (extant until 1968).
Through the Historic View on the Interactive Map, we have added an additional layer constructed from a legacy BP base map, displaying a snapshot of the Prospecting Licence coverage in 1966. Prior to 1967, licence boundaries were not based on the UK National Grid.
The hyperlink on the Table Of Contents, provides access to a full chronological history of all Prospecting Licences, including additional links to the original London Gazette publications detailing the geographical definitions of each licence at the time of initial award (reproduced with kind permission of the London Gazette). General background information on Prosepcting Licences, is provided via the information icon in the results box.
We have just launched a redesign of our Web Map application, as part of our plans for adding new functionality and additional data layers over the course of 2014. We sincerely hope that you enjoy the new look and feel to the site. We will keep you posted on new developments via the News Feed.
