ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for processing seismic data. The method includes determining a position of a seismic energy source and seismic receivers at a time of actuation of the source. A velocity of the seismic receivers with respect to the source position is determined at the time of actuation. An offset of the receivers is corrected using the velocity. A moveout correction is determined for the signals detected by the sensors based on the corrected offset and a velocity of earth media through which seismic energy passed from the source to the sensors.
