Regional cross sections are critical for all interpretations in an exploration play. Regional cross sections establish the correlations that structural, facies tract, and paleogeographic mapping is based on. They show stratigraphic patterns like progradation.

The scale should generally be [[distance::100 mi]] or more, and a grid of [[strike]] and [[dip]] sections should be made. Use all data that would aid in correlations, and show stratigraphic patterns including well data (logs, cuttings, and cores), seismic sections, and outcrop data.
