The whole was immediately plugged, but engineers could not help the oil that was already spilled.

Theories on why the oil is so hard to find are differs depending on the person’s opinion about the oil spill.
In my opinion, like the scientist Roberto Camassa, I agree that since water has a density lower than oil, that the oil was sprayed underneath water and separated into tiny pieces making them not float to the top. This could make
