Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] To address the technical issues that exist in existing probes, although they can detect biomarkers, they still rely on manual interpretation of results in data processing and analysis, and lack intelligent data processing capabilities, which leads to the limitations of existing probes. Figure 1 - Figure 2 , this embodiment provides the following technical solutions:

[0050] The probe body includes: forward primer F: 5'-GACTACGTGCTACGT-3' (Tm = 58°C), reverse primer R: 5'-CATGCTAGCTACGTA-3' (Tm = 59°C);

[0051] The probe body is configured to collect soil samples from the target area, extract microbial DNA using the magnetic bead method, and obtain gene sequence data; use fluorescent quantitative PCR technology to quantitatively analyze the microbial genes in the gene sequence data, and use primer sequences to amplify the target genes to obtain the Ct value of the oil and gas gene; then, based on the standard curve, the Ct value is converted into the gene copy number to obtain the probability of oil and gas accumulation in the soil sample.

[0052] When collecting soil samples from the target area based on the probe body, it includes:

[0053] Sampling points were arranged in a 100m x 100m grid in the target exploration area. Soil samples were collected from 30-50cm below the surface using a sterile drill bit. Multiple soil samples (500g per point) were collected and sealed and stored at 4°C as a sample set.
