==Step 4: Predict results==

Step 4 in the scientific method sequence is predicting that hydrocarbons can be found and economically produced at a specific location, using the maps, cross sections, etc., made in step 3. Predictions are of most value when their specific components are properly recorded in advance of verification along with some estimate of the degree of confidence in the components.
