SSDB for Proponents

The Proponent Tool is the main tool through which you will create and submit a data package in support of your drilling proposal.

First register for a basic user account (you will need a new account if you used SSDB during the IODP era), then login to SSDB and use the My Account link to request access to your proposal. Within 1-2 business days, after validation by SODCO, you will receive a confirmation email that you have been given proponent access to that proposal.
