Abstract

There is a method for correcting seismic wave propagation paths through the earth. The method includes determining a first fixed shooting sequence for a first bandlimited seismic source; determining a second shooting sequence for a second bandlimited seismic source, wherein the second shooting sequence includes second shooting positions that correspond to second energy emissions, and the second energy emissions differ from the first energy emissions in at least one of an emission time, phase and amplitude; receiving raw seismic data recorded with seismic receivers and generated as a result of the first and second energy emissions, wherein the raw seismic data is indicative of seismic wave paths from the first and second bandlimited seismic sources to the seismic receivers; separating the raw seismic data into a first bandlimited set corresponding to the first bandlimited seismic source and a second bandlimited set corresponding to the second bandlimited seismic source; and correcting the seismic wave paths, from the first and second bandlimited seismic sources to the seismic receivers, based on at least one of the first and second bandlimited sets.
