The CSG report states the following:

To have a hydrocarbon accumulation the following conditions must be met:-

* The presence of organically rich and un-oxidized source rocks, usually shales or coals

* The burial of these source rocks to depths whereby the organic material begins to expel hydrocarbons, oil first and then, with deeper burial, dry gas

* The presence of porous and permeable carrier and reservoir
beds to allow the migration of generated hydrocarbons from the hydrocarbon generating kitchens near the basin depocentres to shallower sites of entrapment, which can be reached with the drill bit.

* The presence of sealing units overlying the carrier and reservoir beds which inhibit the upward migration of hydrocarbons, which results from the principle of flotation in which less dense materials float on those which are denser. Water is denser than oil, which in turn is denser than gas. These traps can be of either a structural or stratigraphic genesis.

* Natural gas, mainly methane, can also be trapped, by adsorption, against the faces of cleats within coals, forming unconventional accumulations

* In the case of organic rich, "dirty" and tight source beds, particularly shales, hydrocarbons can sometimes be trapped unconventionally in "shale gas accumulations" in these source intervals

Seeing that "No coals were observed in the Liveringa Formation" does this mean there won't be any hydrocarbon and they won't find anything down there?
