Is there open data on existing oil and gas platforms in the Dutch sector, not just wind farms?

Answered only from public sources you can open. Sources as of 20 Sep 2026; each passage carries its own retrieval date.

AI answer written only from the numbered passages below

Yes. NLOG (Nederlands Olie- en Gasportaal) is the public data portal for energy and mineral resources in the Dutch deep subsurface and on the Dutch continental shelf, covering exploration and production data for natural gas, oil, geothermal energy and rock salt, plus subsurface storage activity and digital 2D seismic data 2. It is operated by TNO's Geological Survey of the Netherlands on behalf of the energy ministry, which takes in operators' data and releases it once the statutory confidentiality period has expired 2. NLOG offers interactive maps and monthly per-well production and injection figures, each available roughly two months after the fact, which can be shown alongside EMODnet's wind-farm and cable layers 1. Licence terms should still be checked before redistributing any downloaded layer 1.

  1. Passage 1: Relevance to a live map

    NLOG's interactive maps and monthly per-well production and injection figures (each available roughly two months after the fact) are a plausible open-data source for showing existing oil and gas platforms and CO2-storage subsurface assets alongside EMODnet's wind-farm and cable layers, since both are official Dutch government portals rather than commercial data resellers — licence terms should still be checked before redistributing any downloaded layer at build time.
