About this data

Norwegian Offshore Directorate (Sodir) FactPages, mirrored nightly and used under the Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD). Licences held and operated count active production licences in which the company is a current licensee or the operator. Wellbores drilled counts wellbores naming the company as drilling operator; a renamed or merged company keeps its old wellbores under its old name.
