Seismic reflection profile dataset in a 3D environment of the Northern Adriatic area (Italy)

This dataset contains subsurface geophysical data from the Northern Adriatic area (Italy) organized in a 3D environment. In particular, it includes 60 (2-D) multichannel seismic reflection profiles made public by the Italian Ministry of the Economic Development in the framework of the ViDEPI project (Visibility of petroleum exploration data in Italy), georeferenced and organized into the Move® software (Midland Valley) environment. The full description of the data and methods is provided in the data description file. This collection represents the basis of a paper (Pezzo et al., 2020) devoted to the characterization of potentially active thrusts in the Northern Adriatic area, through the integration of seismic reflection profiles, offshore cGPS data from hydrocarbon platforms, and numerical modeling. The ViDEPI project is a public database of technical documentation concerning Italian oil exploration. The documentation concerns expired mining permits and concessions dating since 1957 until today, and includes, in particular, well logs and numerous seismic profiles (available as PDF files) acquired in the different Italian commercial "Zones". The documentation and material of the ViDEPI project is freely available online at http://www.videpi.com/. Seismic reflection profiles reported in the present dataset comes mainly from the "A" Italian commercial zone (northern Adriatic area) which extends between the city of Venezia to the north and the city of Pesaro to the south. The dataset consists of a regular network of inlines and crosslines, generally between 4 - 5 seconds (twt) deep, acquired by the Italian AGIP Oil Company (Azienda Generale Italiana Petroli) and processed by Western Geophysical Co.
