Create a Player project for the Norwegian continental shelf using the latest data from the Norwegian Offshore Directorate. Norwegian Offshore Directorate (NOD) FactPages contain information regarding the petroleum activities on the Norwegian continental shelf. The information is synchronised with the Norwegian Offshore Directorate's databases on a daily basis. Learn more about FactPages.


The configurations use the public REST endpoint, add this URL as the Source Directory: https://factmaps.sodir.no/api/rest/services/Factmaps/FactMapsWGS84/MapServer


Adding Wells

Typically in a Player database only exploration and discovery wells are loaded. In FactPages WellBores hold the information required. There is one step to add wells to a Player database:

  1. Wells - NOD Factmaps.json - Choose Add Wells to create the wells from wellbores in Factmaps.   


Adding Fields and Pools

The structure of the NOD REST service makes adding/update fields and pools complicated. Factpages publishes field resources and the relationship between discoveries (equivalent of reservoirs or pools in Player-speak) and wells/wellbores is convoluted. There are four steps to add fields to a Player database:

  1. FieldsPools 1 Add field resources - NOD Factmaps.json - Choose Add Pools/Fields to create the initial fields and pools. In the Play Mapping, the play name is temporarily set to CurrentActivityStatus. Choose the first play in your project.
  2. FieldsPools 2 Update RecVol - NOD Factmaps.json - Choose Update Pools to update the recoverable and in place volumes for the primary pool. Again in the Play Mapping, the play name is temporarily set to CurrentActivityStatus. Choose the first play in your project. Ignore the warning about no discovery well.
  3. FieldsPools 3 Update Plays - NOD Factmaps.json - Again choose Update Pools to update the discovery well and play name for pools. In Play Mapping choose the actual play name using PrimaryHCAge from wellbore.
  4. FieldsPools 4 Add fields WO resources - NOD Factpages.json - Finally choose Add Pools/Fields to create the single pool fields where "Production is unlikely". in Play Mapping choose the actual play name using PrimaryHCAge from wellbore. 

Note: At Player 5.7.0 the Import dialog needs to be closed between each of the 4 steps above.
