Claim 6:
7. A system for determining an internal multiple attenuated seismic image, comprising:
a seismic acquisition system configured to acquire a seismic dataset; and
a computer processor configured to:
receive a seismic dataset, wherein the seismic dataset comprises a plurality of seismic traces,
for each of the plurality of seismic traces:
determine 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
determine an internal multiple attenuated seismic trace based, at least in part, on subtracting the internal multiple trace from the seismic trace;

combine, 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, and
plan a wellbore path based, at least in part, on the internal multiple attenuated seismic image; and

a drilling system configured to drill the wellbore path.
