All oil moves like this. Some of it eventually reaches the surface and seeps out naturally into land or water, but most of it eventually comes up against a layer of rock that it can’t move through. This impermeable rock forms a seal or trap, and slowly, very slowly, the oil builds up. As it does, it forms a reservoir.

Reservoirs are rock formations that hold oil, natural gas or both within their pores, like a fossilised sponge. Reservoirs can be massive. Some may be as large as London, Hong Kong or New York.

If only finding them was as easy as mapping a city. Rocks also move over millions of years, as tectonic plates shift. Their formations can be extremely complex. This makes oil and gas reservoirs extremely difficult to find.

There may be no more unexplored frontiers on earth, but deep inside the earth there is plenty that we don’t yet know.

Oil companies have a range of technologies to help them locate oil and gas reservoirs deep beneath land and sea. But the search remains a complex business. Success is never certain.

Improving the odds

In the early days of oil exploration, oil companies and prospectors really had no idea what they were looking for. They focused their search on areas near seepages, where oil bubbled up naturally in pools. Then they sunk a drill and hoped for the best.
