Petroleum Cadastre β€” transparent licensing and resource governance for the petroleum sector

Petroleum Cadastre

Petroleum Cadastre

Transparent licensing and resource governance for the petroleum sector. Manage petroleum rights, licenses, blocks, contracts, obligations, payments, and compliance across the full lifecycle of exploration and production.

Why It Matters

Without a modern Petroleum Cadastre, governments face fragmented records, unclear boundaries, manual processes, and limited oversight of national petroleum resources

Petroleum resources are strategic national assets. Governments need a reliable and transparent way to manage petroleum blocks, exploration licenses, production rights, contract areas, relinquishments, renewals, obligations, and compliance.
