Data management and digital solution for RNB data
Large volumes of data have been collected and made available to the public. A new, digital solution for RNB data is on the way.
The Norwegian Offshore Directorate is responsible for collecting, storing and publishing data from the Norwegian shelf.
Each year, it is our job to collect information about projects and resource volumes, as well as forecasts for production, costs and emissions/discharges from the operators. We quality- assure this data, make our own assessments and create consistent forecasts for production, costs and emissions/discharges. This effort is an important part of the revised national
budget (RNB), which is presented in May.
Extensive efforts are under way alongside the industry to establish a reporting solution for RNB data. The ambition is for this to be implemented in autumn 2025. This will simplify reporting from the operators as well as improve data accuracy and accessibility. This initiative follows up Norway’s strategy to be the world's most digital country by 2030.
In 2024, the Norwegian Offshore Directorate published about 3700 seismic data sets and 3,827,300 well data sets. This means that the companies will have access to data, which in turn will contribute to increased value creation on the NCS.
The industry is reporting an increasing volume of data to Diskos. Reported data has
increased by nearly 4.5 petabytes; from 16 in 2023 to 20.5 in 2024.
