Abstract
A technique includes performing at least one intervening towed seismic survey after a prior towed seismic survey and before a future towed seismic survey. The prior towed seismic survey has associated first streamer positions, and the future towed seismic survey has associated second streamer positions that do not coincide with the first streamer positions. The technique includes using measurements that are acquired in the intervening towed seismic survey(s) to link the prior towed seismic survey to the future towed seismic survey for time lapse analysis involving the prior and future towed seismic surveys.
