I wasn’t real clear on my 10% as confused as I am about where is the oil?
I was expecting tidal waves of oil splashing ashore but now all we hear about is the occasional blob.
I remember a few years back at Galveston, I went in the water and I came out with tar like substance on my swimming trunks so now I know were it came from, natural oil seepage.
On this map, where is the oil?
Most of the “oil” evaporates into the air. Gasoline and other fuels and components of “oil” are very volatile. After the evaporation, all that’s left is asphalt and other heavy elements of petroleum and they usually sink. I got a kick out of seeing ignorant reporters from our local TV stations picking up what looked to me like chunks of petroleum coke washed up on shore of Dauphin Island and calling them “tar balls”..................
Yep, I remember that about the beach in Galveston as well, over 30 years ago.
