Get it

Since 2025 Equinor distributes Volve through Databricks Marketplace (listing by Equinor ASA), which needs a free Databricks account; you accept the Equinor Open Data Licence when you get the data. Download the WITSML realtime drilling zip there and import it with owd.importar("volve", path). The data may be shared but not sold. Checked 4 Nov 2026.

# 1. download it from the source, accepting its terms; 2. then:
owd import volve "WITSML Realtime drilling data.zip"

Raw data at the source

Output goes to ~/.owd/datos/volve/ (or $OWD_DATA). Each file carries a JSON with licence, citation, source checksum and the original name and unit of every channel. Recipe version 2, level C2.

Load a file you already have

import owd
owd.describir("volve")          # licence, citation, how to get it
df = owd.cargar("volve", "path/to/file", zip_witsml="witsml.zip")
