2D near-surface seismic data from the Late Jurassic Hanifa Fm outcrop - Wadi Birk, Central Saudi Arabia: Shallow marine carbonate platform sediments equivalent to Arabian subsurface reservoirs

The primary objective of these seismic data is to complement outcrop data with behind-the-outcrop geophysical images for a three-dimensional facies interpretation. The longest profile was a 600 m-long 120 shot-120 receiver line with a 5 m shot and receiver interval, while the shortest line was a 96 m 96 shot-96 receiver profile with a 1.5 m shot and receiver interval.

The receivers were 30 Hz vertical P-wave geophones, and the seismic source was a 500 kg accelerated weight drop mounted on a 4x4 extreme utility vehicle. The recording length for all lines was 500 ms with a 0.5 ms sampling interval and a central frequency of ~120 Hz. The data is sorted as shot gather in SEGY format with the receiver and shot coordinates provided as excel spreadsheets.
