Oil Plumes Definitely from BP's Well. AP, July 23, 2010. "Researchers in Florida say they have the first scientific proof that two plumes of oil beneath the surface of the Gulf of Mexico came from BP's broken well. University of South Florida scientists said [on July 23 that] they linked the oil to BP's well based on chemical tests of two plumes discovered in late May. BP initially denied the plumes even existed. Federal researchers say concentrations of underwater oil doubled in June over what they were in May. Figuring out the oil's source is pivotal as the government assesses the environmental damage caused by the massive spill and how much BP will have to payfor it."
