What are they going to do with the oil recovered from the leaking pipe? What should they do?

Asked by hannahsugs (3243points) June 6th, 2010

BP is now recovering about 10,000 barrels of oil a day from the cap they placed on the leaking pipe. They’re pumping this oil to a ship on the surface. What are they going to do with this oil? Is it good enough quality to treat like normal crude oil? Will they refine it and sell it like normal? Dispose of it somehow? Should it (morally) be sold? If they sell it, should they put aside those funds for some special purpose?
