[pacificdata.org](pacificdata.org) – the Pacific Data Hub – is the central repository of open data and knowledge products about the Pacific region. Anyone can access the public data on the Pacific Data Hub. You are encouraged to search, reuse and share the data on pacificdata.org.
The Pacific Data Hub holds a large and diverse collection of data, data insights, publications, and knowledge products on the Pacific across key sectors, including population statistics, fisheries, geoscience, agriculture, aquaculture, energy, education, human rights, climate change, and oceans, and it continues to grow.
While the intention is for the Pacific Data Hub to become a multi-stakeholder-owned and managed platform, it is currently a product of the Pacific Community (SPC), and as such is governed by SPC’s internal documents.

License
This report was prepared by the oil & gas task force. The first petroleum exploration license was signed in 1977. Since then, there has been continued interest in exploring Palau’s territorial waters for the potential of oil and gas. Although limited, petroleum exploration interests have been persistent over the years. Currently, one company has existing petroleum licenses with the States of Kayangel, Hatahobei, and Anguar respectively. However, to date, no exploratory drilling has occurred.
In 2003, the Executive Branch requested the assistance of the World Bank (WB) Oil, Gas, and Mining Policy Division to aid Palau develop an oil and gas sector. In response, the WB sent two Missions to Palau, first in the early part of 2003 and again in November 2003. In 2005, the Republic of Palau requested financial and technical assistance from the WB to begin the implementation of the WB Road Map developed during the second WB Mission to Palau.
