And the wellhead, protruding from the seafloor, spewed millions of gallons of crude into the ocean. Oil cannot sink since the specific gravity of it is less than that of water. Corexit, an oil dispersant was sprayed on it to reduce the surface tension of the oil. A dispersant is basically a detergent, and it does the same thing to oil that Dawn does to bacon grease.
