Geochemical exploration for petroleum is the search for surface or near-surface occurrences of hydrocarbons and their alteration products. Geochemical and microbiological surveys document that hydrocarbon microseepage from oil or gas accumulations is common and widespread, is predominantly vertical (with obvious exceptions in certain geologic settings), and is dynamic (responds quickly to changes in reservoir conditions).
