Following a public event in February looking at progress on studies to understand the rocks in the Copeland and East Irish Sea areas, the geology experts from NWS have created a video describing their work to date.
This video looks at NWS’ ongoing work to develop geological understanding. This understanding is being developed from the evaluation of seismic data, from both the NWS Marine Geophysical Survey and other surveys undertaken in the past by oil and gas companies. This is being integrated with further information, including data from old oil and gas boreholes in the East Irish Sea region, as well as studies of comparable rocks in other parts of the country.
Watch the video to find out what work is being undertaken to build understanding of the geology in Copeland:
