Norway: The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate releases more well data 14 Jun 2021 The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate is releasing prognosis and result data from wildcat wells from the period between 1990 and 2000. Moving forward, such data will be regularly made available via the FactPages on npd.no. Successful wildcat wells, as well as dry ones, provide geologists with valuable information in the quest for new discoveries. This is why the companies must report a significant amount of data following wildcat drilling. This data is analysed to learn more. The data is now available via the FactPages. This is in keeping with the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate's (NPD's) philosophy that as much data as possible should be available to everyone, and that competition between the companies is a matter of who makes best use of the data.
