First of all scientists look for clues, the oil is usually found under a dome shaped layer called a cap or anti-cline. Then small explosions are sent underground the sensors which are on the above surface pick up the echoes from the oil.

Geologists use echos to search for oil by conducting seismic surveys. They send sound waves into the ground and these waves bounce back or echo off the different layers of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. By analyzing the speed and direction of these echos, geologists can map out the underground structures and identify potential oil reservoirs.
