We present one of the first results from application of full waveform inversion to a vibrator seismic land data. The results verify that full waveform inversion can be successfully applied to land seismic data after certain preconditioning procedures and with a good a priori velocity model. Updates of the shallow part of the velocity model will have an impact on better recovering of the deeper part of the migration image.
