Map based index (GeoIndex) onshore borehole records

This layer of the Map based index (GeoIndex) shows the location of records of boreholes, shafts and wells from all forms of drilling and site investigation work. Some 850,000 records dating back over 200 years and ranging from one to several thousand metres deep. Currently some 50,000 new records are being added to the collection each year. The dataset available via the GeoIndex is a snapshot, taken at a particular date, of the Single Onshore Borehole Index. Although the GeoIndex is updated at regular intervals more information may be available than is shown.

Statement: Information for this layer is taken from the Single Onshore Borehole Index (SOBI). This database originated in 1988 from a number of existing tables and from data input from a variety of coding forms. The original records are onshore (or near shore) boreholes, trial pits, shafts and wells held in the BGS archives in either paper, microfilm or digital format, received from a wide variety of external sources.
