Zona F

In accordance with the mandate of the Italian state (law july 21th 1967, n 613), the national oil and gas company (AGIP) acquired a large network of marine seismic data in several areas of the italian exclusive economic zone (EEZ) that have been named "Zona" marked by a capital letter from A to G. The seismic lines were available only as paper prints. Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale - OGS in collaboration with the italian Ministry of Economic Development (MISE) undertook a project to recover and transform the format of these paper sections in order that they can be used with modern technologies. Vintage data recovery represents a big opportunity for both the scientific and Oil and Gas community, since these data are generally characterized by high penetration and wide regional extension that would be very difficult to obtain nowadays, considering environmental, geopolitical and funding issues. This dataset (Zona F) spans southern Adriatic Sea, Strait of Otranto, Gulf of Taranto, Ionian sea and Stait of Messina.
