Pan-EU harmonized offshore oil & gas — wells, pipelines, platforms, and licences across 18 European countries.

What is EMODnet Human Activities?

EMODnet Human Activities delivers harmonized offshore energy data across 18 EU countries: Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Faroe Islands, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Four feature types: offshore wells (~28,500 points with status/purpose/content/operator), platforms (~1,600 with structure type and production commodity), pipelines (~3,950 lines with medium and operator), and active petroleum licences (~1,300 polygons). Annual update cadence — use as a pan-EU breadth layer. For authoritative national data prefer dedicated connectors (NSTA for UK, Sodir for Norway). Protocol: OGC WFS 2.0.0 with CQL filters — the first WFS connector in PatchOps.
