Maps
You can access a digital map of the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) oil and gas activity by individual quadrant, showing the licensed areas, and below it pop-up detailed maps of each of the quadrants that contain licensed areas (updated 07 January 2014).

In place Crown Estate Leases, Agreements for Lease and Search Areas (overlaying UKCS Petroleum Licensing Blocks)
This map is designed to assist petroleum licence holders to identify any area conflicts that their petroleum licences have with other users of the sea that have been granted rights by The Crown Estate.
Petroleum licence holders should identify any blocks where they hold a licence to check whether there may be a potential area conflict with a The Crown Estate rights holder. This could involve a physical overlap between a petroleum licence and The Crown Estate lease, etc or potential conflict as the areas are adjoining or near to each other (e.g. a helicopter zone may overlap with The Crown Estate lease, etc).
Petroleum licence holders are strongly advised to contact the other right holder(s) at the earliest opportunity to discuss and resolve any potential conflicts.
Further details are available on The Crown Estate web
Petroleum licence holders can contact The Crown Estate at oilandgasenquiries@thecrownestate.co.uk or on 020 7851 5343with general or specific questions.

Offshore GIS shapefiles
The shapefiles below are constructed by connecting GCS coordinates with a straight line rather than a geodetic arc (takes into account the curvature of the earth). They are therefore not suitable for defining legal boundaries or measuring areas.
