Short summary
We constructed a dataset of offshore oil and gas platforms to improve knowledge of human activities at sea and their environmental impacts. Using satellite images from the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 missions, we identified over 5000 platforms in six major offshore basins between 2017 and 2023 and recorded their locations and status. This open dataset extends existing records and supports environmental monitoring, offshore infrastructure management, and planning of mitigation strategies.
