Scientists on a research vessel in the Gulf of Mexico are finding a substantial layer of oily sediment stretching for dozens of miles in all directions. Their discovery suggests that a lot of oil from the Deepwater Horizon didn't simply evaporate or dissipate into the water â it has settled to the seafloor.oye can't yet say with certainty that the oily layer is from BP's blown-out well. The organisms that break down oil excrete mucus â copious amounts of mucus. So it's kind of like a slime highway from the surface to the bottom.
Today, petroleum is found in vast underground reservoirs where ancient seas were located. Petroleum reservoirs can be found beneath land or the ocean floor. Their crude oil is extracted with giant drilling machines. Crude oil is usually black or dark brown, but can also be yellowish, reddish, tan, or even greenish.
