How to Import Checkshot Data in Petrel | Fix Time-Depth Errors Correctly

Time-depth errors are one of the most common causes of wrong structural maps and mispositioned reservoirs. In this video, I demonstrate the correct workflow for importing checkshot data into Petrel, ensuring your well tops, seismic interpretation, and depth conversion are properly aligned. You’ll learn: ✔ What checkshot data represents ✔ Proper file structure and formatting ✔ Step-by-step import process in Petrel ✔ Common mistakes to avoid 🔎 Why This Matters If checkshot data is wrongly loaded or ignored: ❌ Depth maps will be inaccurate ❌ Structural closures may be false ❌ Volumetric estimates become unreliable ❌ Reservoir models lose credibility Professional subsurface workflows always validate seismic time with well depth using checkshot data. 🎓 Want Full Practical Training?
