A prospect is a location and depth that has been identified as a good place to drill for oil and/or gas
For us to find oil or gas, certain conditions must be meet
There needs to be a source for the oil or gas
The source rocks need to be ‘cooked’ to the right degree
There needs to be a porous rock to hold the oil or gas
There needs to be a subsurface trapping geometry
There need to be a seal
There needs to be ‘plumbing’ connecting source and reservoir
