Well-documented surface or subsurface structures can be used as analogs to help constrain other structural interpretations based on sparse data. For example, if the regional tectonic setting indicates that our exploration area is in a thrust belt, but local outcrop/subsurface data do not accurately define the shape of individual structures, then we can use well-documented examples of structures from other thrust belts ''with similar stratigraphy'' as analogs to constrain our interpretation. However, correlation to producing structures is most valued.
