The sections just discussed are drawn along a series of short lines connect- 

 ing the wells. Occasionally, it is possible to select wells situated on a nearly 

 straight line, but more often the line of section is somewhat zig zag. This often 

 gives erroneous impressions of actual geologic conditions, because the line of 

 section at some places may parallel the structural strike or stratigraphic strand 

 lines, whereas at others it may cut across these lines. Where the distribution 

 of wells permits a choice of those to be used in the section, an effort should be 

 made to select the ones that will give the straightest line of section.
