Currently Galacticraft generates small oil pockets underground, every 10 or 20 blocks apart. While it provides raw oil for rocket fuel for a life time, these pockets spawn everywhere, with no apparent rule.
I have found them in dungeons, strongholds, mineshafts, damaging these structures, I have to drain the oil that is blocking the path to continue exploring. I once found an oil poked floating in the middle of a ceiling of a stronghold library, flooding it. Sometimes they are found floating midair in ravines and big caves in clusters, like this:
If they don't spawn exposed, open-air, you have to strip-mine to find them in the rock.
I suggest the following:
- biome dependent: they spawn only in swamplands (best), oceans, desert plains, ice plains, plains (rare occurrence). Flat terrains suggest oil deposits.
- fairly rare and big pools instead of common and small pockets: I would prefer to find a big oil pool (like the lava pools which are wide, long and shallow pools) and then I would "drill" a well to collect the oil and build a refinery plant to process the oil on the surface near the well.
This is an example of a refinery plant with Galacticraft and Mekanism (video).
