What happens to the oil after its recovered. Does the recovered oil lose value?

This is the question I have been trying to get answered for the last 60 days,but have been stonewalled over the idea of being payed for oil recovered. Bp will have a true cost per barrel of spilled oil eventually. They don't want the oil recovered because they'll have to pay for the recovered oil by the barrel and there cost of clean up goes up. Hide it with dispersants and the cost goes down at least for now. open the door to people with great oil recovery ideas and pay them by the barrel for recovered oil---and watch how fast it would go away---money drives everything Put every shrimp boat captain and his boat to work for himself. As it is now Bp decides who's boat goes out and how much they get payed buy the hour. How do you think it feels for these proud Fisherman to have there lively hood destroyed and then get offered to work, by the hour for a set wage, by the people that destroyed it.
