AVAILABLE CORE
Our core database can be searched by well name, core type, geological age, lithology and depositional environment. We try and keep it as up to date as possible, but it is best to contact us about a section of interest.
All our core has been cleared for donation by the North Sea Transition Authotity (NSTA). North Sea Core CIC also collaborates with the British Geological Survey (BGS) to ensure any missing or key core material is collected by them, rather than redistributed by us.
Please be aware due to the size of our database, it is best viewed on a computer or tablet.

CORE DONORS
All the core we receive is from company samples and has been cleared for donation under the Petroleum Operations Notice (PON) 9 guidance set out by the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA). We also collaborate with the British Geological Survey (BGS) to identify key sections for the BGS Core Store and National Archive, with this taking priority over the selection of material for redistribution through North Sea Core.
We are grateful to the following companies for supporting North Sea Core by donating material:
