Higher [[resistivity]] on electrical logs shows the brittle, more fracturable benches within the Niobrara. Constructing a detailed [[Geological cross sections|cross section]], showing fracturable benches, maximum bed curvature, and any surface and subsurface [[Fault trap regime|normal fault]]ing, allows the explorer to visualize and accurately plot the angle at which the well bore must be drilled to penetrate the critical elements.
