Dataset description

<div style='direction: ltr;'><p style='text-align: justify; color: windowtext; text-indent: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;'>The NSTA has purchased CGG’s NPA Satellite Mapping (NPA) database for the UKCS for publication. The UK database is composed of 983 individually interpreted satellite images, which form between a 10x and 20x temporal coverage, with 20x coverage for the majority of the North Sea. The NPA methodology uses multiple temporal snapshots in order to reduce interpretation ambiguities, account for the episodic nature of seepage and provides an interpretation of temporally repeating oil slick sites. </div><div style='direction: ltr;'><p style='text-align: justify; color: windowtext; text-indent: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;'>The release of the seeps database comes with documentation from CGG on how best to access and utilise the data and the end user is encouraged to read these in conjunction with the downloaded data. </div><div style='direction: ltr;'><p style='text-align: justify; color: windowtext; text-indent: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;'>These data are being released under the NSTA’s <a href='https://www.ogauthority.co.uk/site-tools/access-to-information/' style='color: inherit; text-decoration: none;' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>User Licence Agreement</a> which enables use of the data by the end user but does not permit any commercial gain to be made from having access to these data unless permission has been granted by CGG.

Questions before production use

Practical answers on evaluation, licensing, freshness, versioning and support.

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
