The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD's) interactive FactMaps contain up-to-date overviews including production licences, exploration wells, discoveries, fields and development wells. The FactMaps are closely integrated with the FactPages.

The FactMaps can be used e.g. to create illustrative maps.
The map search engine can be used from other internet or intranet pages. The search engine also makes it easy to create links to the FactMaps from other internet or intranet pages. See http://www.npd.no/FactMapSearch
WMS service
The FactMaps are also offered as a WMS service (WebMapService), ref. ISO 19128:2005 (OGC:WMS). This service makes it easy to include the FactMaps in your own tools for geographic information systems (GIS).
The maps may be used free of charge, but if they are used in external publications, the source must be cited (Source NPD mm.yyyy).
Technical information about the WMS service
On the Norwegian continental shelf, European Datum 1950 (ED50) is the de facto and legal standard for the petroleum industry's licensing and operations. All positional data is handled in the NPD with reference to this datum.
