Abstract
The 2010 rig disaster from the Deepwater Horizon/Macondo well off the Gulf of Mexico and its aftermath has rekindled the debate on deepwater drilling and offshore oil exploration in the United States. The heavy use of dispersants from the ill-fated well has been known, and it has been documented that underwater oil plumes are lurking beneath the water surface (Thibodeaux et al. 2011). There is a need to understand the processes involved in the formation of these plumes, and how to address their lingering presence.
