what is this? the first oil has washed ashore in louisiana every day for about two weeks now. this oil is like the number two in al qaeda in irag getting killed twice a week.

[Louis Foxwell]

There is no heavy oil coming out of the well. It is light crude, mostly kerosene and gasoline, benzine and the like. That is why it cannot be found except in tiny portions. It evaporates and is dispersed soon after being exposed to the sea.
