Finally, there are the serious issues of the level of methane gas coming from the well and the amount of dispersants (close to 1.5 million gallons so far) which BP is using to mask the oil. This was not so much of a problem with the Ixtoc 1 well because they just let the gas burn off at the surface. BP has chosen to flare about 30 million cubic feet of gas per day recovered in their containment system, but an unknown amount of gas is still being dissolved in the water column. The methane gas, the dispersants and the oil all can deplete oxygen in parts of the Gulf. This is likely to be the real disaster scenario for the Gulf over the coming years.
