Sodir Norway Petroleum FactPages Scraper

Scrapes wellbores, fields, production licences, and discoveries from Norway's Sodir FactPages (formerly the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate). Returns geocoded coordinates, operator data, reserves estimates, and optional monthly production history for all 10,000+ records on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

Sodir FactPages Scraper Features

• Extracts all four NCS datasets — wellbores (~9,800 records), fields (~143), production licences (~1,810), and discoveries (~650)
• Returns geocoded wellhead coordinates — WGS84 latitude and longitude for every wellbore
• Includes field reserves — recoverable and remaining oil, gas, NGL, and condensate (million/billion Sm3)
• Optional monthly production history — all production rows since first oil, ~28,000 records going back decades
• Filters wellbores by sea area — North Sea, Norwegian Sea, or Barents Sea
• Filters by operator — substring match on drilling operator or field operator name
• Runs without proxies — Sodir FactPages is a public government data portal with no access restrictions
• Bulk CSV download — no pagination, no rendering, no browser required

What Can You Do With Sodir Data?

• E&P analysts — build NCS acreage maps, benchmark operator drilling activity, and track field development timelines
• Energy-security researchers — model Norwegian gas production capacity, track reserve depletion, and monitor license award rounds
• Decommissioning consultants — identify P&A candidates using wellbore status, water depth, and completion dates
• CCS project trackers — isolate CO2_STORAGE wellbore type and identify depleted fields suitable for carbon injection
• Financial modelers — feed reserves and production history into DCF models without manual data entry
• Regulatory and compliance teams — cross-reference licence holder history with company filings

How It Works

1. Choose a dataset. Select field, wellbore, discovery, licence, or all to fetch everything in sequence.
2. Set optional filters. Narrow wellbores to a sea area or filter any dataset by operator name. Leave blank for all records.
3. The scraper downloads the full CSV from Sodir's SSRS export endpoint. One request per dataset, no pagination — Sodir publishes complete bulk exports updated daily.
4. Records are parsed and output as structured JSON. Each row is normalized, numeric fields are cast to numbers, and a factPageUrl is included for every record.

🔍 FAQ

How do I scrape wellbore data from Sodir FactPages?

Sodir FactPages Scraper downloads the full wellbore dataset in one request. Set datasetType: "wellbore" and optionally filter by mainArea or operatorFilter. The dataset includes all ~9,800 NCS wellbores drilled since 1966.

How much does it cost to run?

Sodir FactPages Scraper costs $0.001 per record plus $0.10 per run. Fetching all fields, discoveries, and licences (~2,600 records) runs under $0.20. The full wellbore dataset (~9,800 records) with monthly production history (~28,000 rows) costs under $0.50.

What data can I get from Sodir FactPages?

Sodir FactPages Scraper returns wellbores (geocoded coordinates, depth, status, content, operator), fields (reserves, production dates, operator, HC type), production licences (holders, area, status), and discoveries (status, HC type, associated field). Monthly production figures go back decades for producing fields.

Can I filter by specific operator or sea area?

Sodir FactPages Scraper supports both. Set operatorFilter to any substring (e.g., "equinor", "aker") for a case-insensitive match on the operator or drilling operator field. Set mainArea to NORTH SEA, NORWEGIAN SEA, or BARENTS SEA to limit wellbores by location.

Does Sodir FactPages Scraper need proxies?

No proxies required. Sodir FactPages is a Norwegian government open-data portal with no rate limits, CAPTCHA, or geographic restrictions.

Why Use Sodir FactPages Scraper?

• No manual exports — Sodir's FactPages UI limits HTML tables to 100 rows. This actor fetches the unrestricted bulk CSV — same data Sodir publishes for download, just automated.
• Clean, typed output — numeric fields cast to numbers, dates stay in Sodir's DD.MM.YYYY format, and a factPageUrl links every record back to the source. Less cleanup, more analysis.
• No proxies, no browser — direct CSV download from a public government endpoint, which means fast runs without residential IP pools.
