This implies there has been oil seeping into the Gulf of Mexico for millions of years. Admittedly, the dispersants are questionable. The idea was once you had an uncontrolled blowout that they mix with the water and not kill birds and other likable creatures. Far better to simply not have an uncontrolled blowout in the first place, but I'm not sure how you're going to do away with the natural seeps. (Besides which it would destroy the endangered animals which eat it.) There are animals whic evolved to eat the oil which naturally seeps into the Gulf of Mexico.
