I have included an excellent link. The geologist identifies the areas where hydrocarbons should exist from their understanding of regional trends. Existing wells provide vital information. The geophysicist uses sound waves (seismic studies) to find the structures that likely contain hydrocarbons.
You may find more information in the internet on the use of seismic technology in the exploration of oil deposits. It is a critical technology today to find new deposits.
The five necessary elements as described in the link must all be present to have a crude oil discovery. However, a final element must be present to produce the oil field- commerciality. This requires the oil must be producible at sufficiently high rates and for a sufficiently long time to be able to pay for the development and make a profit.
