Extracting oil from the seabed depends on five specific geological factors working together. You need a source rock to produce hydrocarbons, a path for them to travel, a reservoir rock to hold them, and both a trap and a seal to stop them from leaking. If even one of these elements is absent or develops incorrectly, the oil will seep away, leading to failed drilling projects regardless of the massive costs involved.
