Licence Information Upgrade

On the back of ongoing developments by the Mapping & GIS team at DECC, we are now able to display current Licence information direct from their Web Service. This not only ensures that Licence boundaries are kept updated but also allows for the display of additional information such as administrative and group members.

DECC provide hyperlinks to original Licence documentation, which can also be accessed through the UKOGL web map.

Web Site Issues

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.

Time Filter Update

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.
