Claim 0:
1. A method for determining an internal multiple attenuated seismic image, comprising:
obtaining a seismic dataset, wherein the seismic dataset comprises a plurality of seismic traces;
for each of the plurality of seismic traces, using a computer processor:
determining an internal multiple trace based, at least in part, on a nested truncated correlation and a bounded convolution of the seismic trace with itself, and
determining an internal multiple attenuated seismic trace based, at least in part, on subtracting the internal multiple trace from the seismic trace;

combining, using the computer processor, the internal multiple attenuated seismic trace determined for each of the plurality of seismic traces to form the internal multiple attenuated seismic image;
planning a wellbore path based, at least in part, on the internal multiple attenuated seismic image; and
drilling the wellbore path.
