No. It doesn't make much sense. I couldn't find anywhere on the internet that supports this theory.

Geologists in search of oil, look for areas where sufficient organic material has been deposited and confined for long periods of time (millions of years).

In looking for oil, geologists will take close examination of the mineralogy of the rock, to identify the geological age. They are looking for depositional basins that were in existence for enough time to allow oil to form (generally at least 20 million years). So finding copper minerals will help them know that the general area is very old.

However, if the copper or other minerals are found in metamorphic rock, then the hydrocarbon potential in the general area may be much less.
