EMODnet Human Activities, Oil and Gas, Active Licences
The dataset on offshore active licences for Oil and Gas exploitation and exploration in the European seas was created in 2014 by Cogea for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is the result of the aggregation and harmonization of datasets provided by several EU and non-EU sources. It is available for viewing and download on EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). The dataset contains polygons representing the currently active licences in the following countries: Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and United Kingdom. Where available each polygon has the following attributes: country, code, name, type (exploitation, exploration, exploitation and exploration, other), licensing round (it includes also pending applications in Spain), area (square km), area info (it indicates if the area value is original from the source or has been calculated), valid from, valid to, operator or administrator, notes. Currently there are no active licenced areas in the French and Portuguese waters and no data available for other countries.

Lineage
| Statement | Data were retrived from 12 different sources. Validation and quality assurance remain up to primary data sources, while harmonization is carried out by Cogea. The harmonisation process consisted of identifying a set of attributes common to all the different datasets, thus creating a single data model. To do so, it was necessary to define a homogenous set of variables for each attribute. Therefore, raw data attributes may use a different terminology, although the information contained remains basically the same. For further information on validation and quality assurance, it is suggested that primary data sources are contacted. Generally speaking data are to be considered very reliable, because they come from national sources officially in charge for their collection. In Spain, Gaviota is a storage licence (almacenamiento) that was harmonized as'other' type. When areas had to be calculated we used as much as possible the original projected coordinate system of the raw data or the UTM-WGS84 zone that the national data falls in. |
