Records of all onshore Northern Ireland boreholes, trial pits, shafts and wells held in the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland archives. The records range from simple single page lithological logs through to hydrocarbon completion reports. They are approximately 24,000 records dating back over 200 years and ranging between one and several thousand metres deep. New records are being added to the collection each year. A small percentage of the borehole records are held commercial-in-confidence for various reasons, and cannot be released without the written permission of the originator. GSNI staff will release the data where this is possible or provide you with the information needed to contact the originator.

Spatial coverage will vary considerably depending on drilling activity, collecting activity and donations. The majority of new data is from site investigation reports with concentrations in urban areas and along transport routes. Current collection over 1million records covering the whole of Great Britain with 50,000 new records added per annum. Some records date back to 1600 but the majority date from 1900 onwards.
