Map of the North Sea

The OilCity interactive map currently plots interesting gas and oil discoveries within the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) between 1965 and 2001. Just pull the date slider around to see the North Sea activity grow over time.

The data shown is based on the annual DTI 'Brown Book', with some minor corrections. Further detail will be added to as the OilCity project grows. Please let us know if note any errors in the plotting of fields.
