Interpretations of [[Depositional environments|depositional trends]], [[Predepositional structure|pre-]] and [[Syndepositional structure|syndepositional]] structural development, and reservoir [[storage capacity]] are based in large part on thickness information. An accurate meaning of thickness is critical in these and other analyses (see [[Conversion of well log data to subsurface stratigraphic and structural information]]).
