Line 1:
There are two basic ways oil[[Oil]] generates in GT:NH; as spouts visible from the surface, and as an Underground Fluid oil field below Bedrock. Spouts and fields are placed during chunk generation.
* Spouts visible from the surface
* Underground (below bedrock) oil pools
 
 
Line 12 ⟶ 10:
* Spouts lead down to underground oil pools. Even after pumping there will be a large dark cavern, potentially with dangerous oil puddles left.

Use the seismicSeismic prospectorProspector to locate chunks with large amounts of oil. The spawning is done in an 8x8 chunk grid with no offset.
For example, chunks 15,15; 15,16; 16,15; 16,16 are all in different 8x8 oil spawns - a smart greggerplayer can use this to their advantage when prospecting. Within the 8x8 chunks, the oil can be +- 25% the designated value.

Any oil amount above ~200 L/t is a good place to begin drilling.
 
Higher tier oil derricks will drill a wider area around it, gathering oil from multiple chunks.

=== HowOil muchDrill oil will I get from my drill?Yields ===
Calculating how much oil youa drill will get from your drillyield is a little complicated. The drills run on "operations" and how many ticks equal one operation varies based on the drill machine tier, and the energy hatch tier. The amount of oil pulled from each chunk per operation depends on the tier of the energy hatch above the minimum tier as well.
 
Also, the amount of oil pulled from each chunk per operation depends on the tier of the energy hatch above the minimum tier as well.
 
One important concept is that the oil drill will always drill on range size boundaries. For a 1x1 tier 1 oil drill, that isn't important. For 4x4 or 8x8 tier 2 or 3, the drill, no matter where it is placed in the 4x4 or 8x8 grid, will always pull oil from the same group of chunks. For example, looking at X for a 4x4 drill
