They're very important in oil spills.

This is an Exxon slide showing what happens, the scenario and the trade off.

And what happens first is the solvents break into the oil, the lipid membrane, they let the surfactants in there.

Water is heavier than oil.

And every single oil is different when it hits water.

Oil does not mix with water.

Oil and water don't mix.

Oil and water don't blend.

Likewise, we can work with oil and water systems.

Oil and water won't blend with each other.

Water clear!

The water was fouled by oil.

Oil floats on water.

Oil and water don't blend.

This lake in Bolivia

Like water off a duck's back.

Evidence is now mounting that world oil production is peaking, or is close to it.

We learned that oil floats on water.

Let me tell you a little bit about this chemistry of oil.

But dragonflies a bit tricky.
