International Exploration and Production Database
The IHS International Exploration and Production (E&P) Database is the most comprehensive and reliable dataset available to oil and gas industry professionals today. Our data is controlled in a unique relation data model (IRIS21) that provides a fully integrated data area with over 13,000 E&P data attributes. Such a fully integrated model allows the combination of many different attributes, some of which are provide in the example below.

With 17 technical teams positioned around the world and proficiencies in 35 languages, our staff of experts maintains an unparalleled communication network with operators, national oil companies, government agencies and service companies to ensure we deliver you the latest petroleum industry activity worldwide. The data is gathered and reported daily from more than 100 in-country correspondents who are focused on tracking, reporting and analyzing industry activity to provide critical insights for E&P decision-makers. Data quality is ensured and quality checked at multiple levels.
The E&P database can be accessed directly from your desktop or server, your intranet or the Internet via IHS EDIN-GIS™ and IHS Enerdeq® Desktop software applications, or be accessed through your in-house applications with data regularly loaded onto your proprietary server through data delivery tools like the ADM (Application Data Model) and Frequent Data Update software.
Using the International E&P Database will allow your organization to thoroughly review the hydrocarbon prospects and feasibility of a project.
Typical users and applications include:
- Explorationists - review previous exploration activity to determine true hydrocarbon prospectivity in the basin, and assess the risk of the exploration play
- New Ventures and Corporate Planning Groups - analyze opportunities to explore for new accumulations or possible farm-in opportunities
- Negotiators - evaluate work commitments to determine if a competing company was able to negotiate terms that differ from the model contract
Although the database is fully integrated and many elements can be found under various headings (e.g., a company under concessions, seismic survey, well or field) the database can be regarded in simple terms as existing of the following main modules:
- Concessions Module - including open areas, bid blocks, exploration acreage and production concessions, with full information on the various contract stages and company participation
- Geophysical Surveys Module - although a large part contains seismic acquisitions, other surveys like magnetic and gravimetric ones are included. The module contains a spatial presentation of seismic lines shot.
- Well Module - data includes the drilling history and where available information on tested intervals and stratigraphic tops. Location data includes details on the projection system and datum to allow correct transformation into WGS84 coordinates
- Discoveries & Fields Module - the most comprehensive worldwide database of discoveries with reservoir details and reserves, planned and actual field development and annual and monthly production figures
Two databases are integrated with the E&P database:
- BASIN DATA with geological information
- MIDSTREAM DATA with information on transport, storage and processing of hydrocarbons after it flows from the wellhead
