There's also the drilling mud. Not sure what they use in US these days but Oil-based mud usually workd a lott better than water based mud when you're drilling.
Technically, when you dump the cuttings into the sea they're supposed to be free of the oil-coating.
Nod's as good as a wink to a blind man....
Then you got your transport problems with the oil used for the mud, leaky pipes from the ship to the rig (wink), overflowing bilge tanks (nudge).
Not even counting any leaks you encounter with the transportation of the crude.
These problems magically disappear when you're 100 miles out.
10-20 miles out, it starts showing up on the beaches.
And when an extremely major part of your economy is tourism.....
