Cross sections can be more highly constrained using statistical curvature analysis techniques (SCAT) on [[dipmeter]] data<ref name=Bengtson_1982>Bengtson, C. A., 1982, Structural and stratigraphic uses of dip profiles, in M. T Halbouty, ed., Deliberate Search for the Subtle Trap: AAPG Memoir 32, p. 31-45.</ref> ([[:Image:Statistics-overview_fig1.png|Figure 1]]). This method allows determination of the positions in a wellbore of important axial, crestal, and fault surfaces and their strike and dip ([[:Image:Statistics-overview_fig2.png|Figure 2]]). Hence, structures can be projected in section away from wellbores and used to sketch the structure in profile.

[[File:Statistics-overview fig1.png|left|thumbnail|'''Figure 1.''' SCAT plots used to define the complex structure seen in the discovery well of the Rail Road Gap oil field, California. The five plot types are (from left to right) azimuth versus depth (A plot), dip versus depth (D plot), dip versus depth in the direction of greatest curvature (T plot), dip versus depth in the direction of least curvature (L plot), and dip versus azimuth (DVA plot). (From Bengtsen, 1982.)]]
