Where the rigs have been, latest day with data: 1 Oct

Rigs and offshore vessels that lay within 2 km of a facility at under 1 knot for at least 30 minutes, according to the AIS positions for 1 Oct 2026 from the Norwegian Coastal Administration. Kystdatahuset publishes the history about a week late. A visit shows that the vessel was there, not who it worked for.

Method: A visit is a continuous stay within 2 km of a facility at under 1 knot for at least 30 minutes, computed from the AIS positions. Gaps in the data of up to 60 minutes, or 3 hours when the vessel is in the same place before and after, do not count as interruptions. Hours are the sum of the visits. Only rigs and vessels with an offshore register type or registered with the Norwegian Offshore Directorate are included.

Who charters a rig or vessel, and at what rate, is not in open data. A vessel is linked to a field only when AIS shows it within 2 km of one of the field's own facilities or its host facility, at under 1 knot – that says the vessel was there, not who it works for. Facilities on the export route do not count. Sodir often records the completion date of development wells late. A rig marked “probably drilling” spudded the well in the last 120 days but may have finished. AIS coverage offshore varies. A vessel without positions for a period may have been there without being recorded. Ship data: Norwegian Coastal Administration. Not for navigation.
