How is oil found off shore?
In: Earth Science
Oil tends to be found in certain types of rock formations. If you know what kind of rock is under the ocean bed, you can make an educated guess as to whether oil is there or not.
Oil companies are extremely secretive about the exact processes they use. Those are trade secrets and are how the companies stay in business. A *lot* of work goes into making the best guess possible, and a lot of very expensive equipment is used to try and verify those guesses.
