# ProspectPulse Oil & Gas Basin Analysis

> ProspectPulse Oil & Gas Basin Analysis is a paid API for AI agents from prospectpulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns petroleum system characterization, play types, undiscovered resource estimates, and exploration risk for any oil and gas basin worldwide.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability prospectpulse-oil-gas-basin-analysis-415d3274
```

Example prompt: What's the petroleum system, play types, undiscovered resource estimates, and exploration risk for the Permian Basin? I'm evaluating it for an upstream investment decision.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, structured petroleum system and exploration risk data for a specific sedimentary basin, particularly for upstream investment screening, prospect ranking, or exploration strategy. Prefer over general web search when you need machine-readable resource estimates and risk scores rather than narrative news. Best suited for agents operating in oil and gas exploration, energy investment, or M&A due diligence contexts.

## Known failure modes

- Basin not recognized or outside coverage — returns 404 or empty result
- Ambiguous basin name resolves to wrong geographic area — validate with country/region qualifier
- Stale resource estimates if basin data has not been recently updated
- API returns 402 if USDC payment is not properly attached via x402 protocol
- Rate limiting or timeout for unusual or very remote basin queries

## How this service works

Sedimentary basin analysis for petroleum and upstream-investment agents. Returns petroleum system, play types, undiscovered resource estimates, and exploration risk for oil and gas basins worldwide.

## Output

A structured response covering the basin's petroleum system elements (source, reservoir, trap, seal), identified play types, USGS-style undiscovered technically recoverable resource estimates for oil and gas, and a quantified exploration risk rating — designed for petroleum and upstream-investment decision-making.
