What is Sodir (Norwegian Offshore Directorate)?

Norwegian Offshore Directorate (Sodir) factmap data for the Norwegian Continental Shelf. No credentials required — toggle on and use. Covers: wellbores (9,765 — filter by operator, status PRODUCING/P&A/PLUGGED, purpose WILDCAT/APPRAISAL/PRODUCTION, content OIL/GAS/DRY, field, production licence, North/Norwegian/Barents Sea area); fields (142 — Producing/Approved for production/Shut down); hydrocarbon discoveries (645 — with current activity status, HC type, linked field); production licences (1,809 active and historical polygons); offshore pipelines (82); facilities — platforms, FPSOs, subsea templates (1,215); seismic survey areas (5,008 — 2D/3D/4D); company registry (NCS operators and licensees). Per-wellbore sub-tables: formation tops (lithostratigraphy), drill stem tests (DST), narrative history (HTML), and field-level reserve estimates (oil/gas/NGL/condensate, multi-vintage back to first estimate). Probe date: 2026-05-04. Upstream quirks: field activity status field name contains a typo ('fldCurrentActivitySatus' — missing 't'); discovery geometry is Polygon not Point; seismic field prefix is 'sea' not 'seis'. Monthly production volumes are CSV-only at Sodir and are not in this connector — future ETL candidate. License: Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD).
