The most common method for detecting and delineating a surface geochemical anomaly associated with a petroleum reservoir is measuring vapor or liquid hydrocarbons that have migrated to the surface or near-surface. The media in which these measurements occur are the soil, atmosphere, ocean water column, ocean bottom sediments, and groundwater or surface fresh water.
