Before a petroleum system can be investigated, it must be identified as being present.
Petroleum system identification
To identify a petroleum system, the explorationist must find some petroleum. Any quantity of petroleum, no matter how small, is proof of a petroleum system. An oil or gas seep, a show of oil or gas in a well, or an oil or gas accumulation demonstrates the presence of a petroleum system.
