This dataset contains pore pressure measurements from the Bunter Sandstone Formation across the Southern North Sea of the UK Continental Shelf including quadrants 41 -50. The pressure measurements have been collected from released offshore legacy well records available from the UK National Data Repository (NDR) which is managed and served by the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA). The data were compiled by British Geological Survey researchers in support of research projects seeking to evaluate the potential of the Bunter Sandstone Formation for storage of carbon dioxide. These projects were funded by United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI). The dataset comprises direct pressure measurements from formation pressure testers (downhole tools containing a probe and packer on a retractable pad, a pretest chamber and pressure gauges) as well as formation pressure estimates from Drill Stem Tests (DST). Most of the measurements comprise results from Schlumberger’s Repeat Formation Tester (RFT), Formation Multi Tester (FMT) and Modular Dynamics Tester (MDT) tools.
