The Offshore EnergyGateway

The Offshore EnergyGateway is a true online GIS and mapping service for the oil, gas, renewable energy and associated marine industries. The EnergyGateway can be accessed through any Internet browser, where the world map is split into 14 separate "Gateways".

These regional "Gateways" are:

• North West European Continental Shelf
• Southern Europe
• Eastern Europe
• North Africa
• West Africa
• South & East Africa
• Middle East & Caspian Sea
• South Asia
• South East Asia
• East Asia (including Sakhalin Island)
• Australasia
• North America (including US Gulf of Mexico)
• Latin America (including Mexico & Brazil)
• The Arctic

Within each Gateway, information from the Offshore Energy Database is displayed as GIS layers alongside other geographic layers to provide the user with a unique tool to explore any country involved in the offshore oil and gas industry. The GIS team have also begun adding renewable energy research and to date all offshore wind farms have been added to the EnergyGateway.

The following layers can be accessed through the Offshore EnergyGateway:

Offshore Energy Database Layers:

• Oil fields
• Gas fields
• Gas pipelines
• Oil pipelines
• Fixed platforms
• Floating facilities
• Single point moorings
• Onshore terminals
• Onshore LNG facilities
• Onshore GTL plants
• Offshore wind farms

Geographic Layers:

• Median lines
• Coastlines
• Country boundaries
• Geographic longitude & latitude grid
• Licence blocks
• Water depth (Bathymetry)
• Major ports
• Major cities
• Heliports

The database layers are linked directly back to the information in the Offshore Energy Database. It is possible to subscribe to Offshore Energy Database data sets and link these to the visual layers on the EnergyGateway to create a powerful geographic and data system, or to subscribe to standalone packages to access the visual layers for a simple and quick reference tool for each region.
