Importing Checkshot Surveys

Checkshot Surveys are imported from ASCII files, and contain  True Vertical Depth and Time pairs.

Click Here for an example of the Checkshot format.

  1. From the Application toolbar select |Well Database. The Well-spot Database dialog box will open. It contains a list of the wells in your project and their properties.
  2. Highlight the well you want to import the checkshot surveys for, and select ASCII Import | Checkshot Surveys.
  3. Select the source file for your checkshot(s) using standard Windows commands. The Define ASCII Format dialog box will open. The first line of the Parsed Output section should consist of a record with a Depth and Time. If your parsed output does not look like this, you need to define the ASCII format.
  4. Click <OK>. The Associate selected wells with Checkshot File dialog box will open. A check mark will display a successful match between the selected well and checkshot file.
  5. You may force an association by selecting a specific well and clicking <Select Checkshot File>. This will open the Set Checkshot Time and Units dialog box.
  6. Select the appropriate information for your file and click <OK>.
  7. Click <Save> to save the imported checkshot survey and close the Well-spot Database.

It is best to use a neutral reference elevation for your time and depth value such as seismic datum or sea level. This way you can assign checkshots to multiple wells without having to edit the reference elevation each time the checkshot is used. The reference elevations for time and depth values can be any of the following:
