About ArcticWeb

Obtaining information about offshore arctic areas is a challenge. The problem in many cases is not the lack of information, but an inability to easily access information and  determine its reliability and quality. Six operators working in Norway joined forces to tackle this challenge, and together with their partners KADME and Acona Wellpro, developed the ArcticWeb project to simplify access to public data sources in the Arctic Region.

The information is used by oil and service companies for the purposes of exploration, early field development, environmental risk analysis, emergency preparedness, safety assessments and more. Information is presented to energy industry users via search and map interfaces, for exploration, analysis and ordering.

Currently, the project reaches from the North Sea to the Barent’s Sea, covering a wide-range of Norwegian key data owners.
