Price List

Guaranteed provision of hard copy sections and digital stacked data. Field data and supporting acquisition data can only be supplied on a best effort basis.

Supplemental to the provision of a full license, it is also the aim of the Library to actively encourage increased utilisation of its unique seismic archive by allowing for a more economic limited short term access, designed to provide real assistance to companies in the early phases of exploration, especially for those seeking to work up new plays and new areas of the UK.

As of March 18th 2009, the Library will further extend this support by the introduction of new reduced license fee rates, including benefits for those clients that have purchased data prior to this date, as detailed below.

The Library offers 2 access levels to its archive : Exploration Support Initiative Overview.

Cost: £15.00 per km/ km²

Terms: Limited sub-license access to post stack data only, conveying no rights of ownership over the seismic data and restricted to the following options
Options : At any time within or up to 30 days after the expiration of the 2 year limited license period the limited license option can be upgraded to a full license by the payment of an additional £35 per km/ km². If this upgrade is not undertaken by the expiration date of the limited license, all seismic data provided under the limited license shall be returned to the Library and the Purchaser shall have no further rights to the use of such data.
^(*) In the event that a PEDL is awarded to the Purchaser or associate Group member within a 4 year period following the purchase of the Reconnaissance Data limited license, the Purchaser must commit to making a further payment of £35 per km/ km² as an upgrade to a full license in respect of all seismic data subject to the limited license and which lie within the boundaries of the PEDL.
For those licensees who have purchased data prior to March 18th 2009 and have been invoiced at the previous Reconnaissance rate of £25 per km/km², under the same terms as above of a PEDL being awarded, the Purchaser must commit to making a further payment of £25 per km/ km² as an upgrade to a full license.

Former Block Evaluation Data

This category of license has been discontinued as of March 18th 2009.
Prior to March 18th 2009, any data supplied under the previous Block Evaluation limited license was subject to an additional uplift payment of £60 per km./sq km in the event that a well was subsequently drilled on the PEDL after the purchase of the limited license. This potential uplift is now being waived by the Library and will not be levied unless already invoiced prior to March 18th 2009.

Supplemental Details

Reconnaissance Data Limited Licences can be upgraded to a full license at any time within their duration.

Group Escalations Fees of £10 per km/ km² per additional participant are applicable on all agreements. Companies or individuals which subsequently join a Purchaser in ownership of a PEDL after the purchase of such a limited license of seismic data will be obliged to pay a £10 per km/ km² escalation fee and will be bound by the same conditions. There will be no obligation to pay additional Escalation Fees on upgrades to a full license.

Where the above terms call for payments to be made on PEDL awards, relinquishments or other such actions, the Purchaser will undertake to inform the Library as soon as is practicable of such actions which are of relevance to the agreements with the Library.
