What's Your Question?
Answer

There are methods like magnetic methods, radiator and detector or sesmic methods or topographic methods used for finding petroleum source in basin.

Answer

There are three (3) primary methodologies used to find hydrocarbons in the subsurface: Geophysical, Remote Sensing, and Wildcatting.

Geophysical techniques used for petroleum exploration utilize equipment to measure such things as: electrical currents, gravitational and magnetic anomalies, heat flow, geochemical relationships, and density variations from deep within the earth.

Remote Sensing (RS) is the use of aerial photographs to locate and map surface features.

A wildcat well is one that is drilled in a new area where no other wells exist and generally with scant information. It is drilled in an effort to locate undiscovered accumulation of hydrocarbons.
