Apply a check shot correction to a GeoSyn synthetic by importing an ASCII format file or create one from scratch by typing time and depth values for individual check shot pairs.
If the well to be check shot corrected also requires a directional survey correction, apply the directional survey first. For details, see Related Topics below.
