I don't know if it's from the well head or stirred up from T.S. Lee.  I do know when the leak was going on, due to the tremendous pressure and cold water temps at 5000' deep, A large amount of the oil congealed and fell to the sea floor.  For every 33' of water=1 atmosphere or 14.7 lbs. Divide 5000 by 33, multiply that result times 14.7= a lot of pressure! It equals to 151 bar or atomspheres= 2107 lbs/sq inch.

I was doing some chemistry work on one of the ROV vessels at the time, it was chaos.  Too many chiefs, not enough indians.
