If the pollution comes directly from the oil well, e.g. the well is on fire, it will be considered as a point source, becasue we know the source.
NO
point source pollution
the difference is that a point source pollution comes from a specific site & the non-point source pollution comes from many sources rather than a single specific site. or point source pollution is pollution that comes from a known and specific location. Nonpoint source pollution is pollution that does not have a specific point of orign....................:-)Hisme John
non-point pollution is pollution that has no specific source or place of where it came fromex. runoff of gasoline from cars off the roadpoint pollution is pollution that hsd s specific source or place of where it came fromex. an oil factory spills into the sea

point-source of pollution is easy to because we can control it at the same site where the pollution source is originated. Nonpoint source pollution is difficult to regulate.

Smog is not a type of point source pollution neither is smoke or fog.

I hate pollution
Point pollution is when the pollution happens right there, where the factory chimneys are, where the oil pipe breaks, or the oil tanker crashes, or the nuclear power plant explodes. The pollution is at the point where it happened.Non-point pollution is when the pollution happened somewhere else. Fumes escape from cars on the highway. The oil tanker crashed up there, but the pollution ran across the roads and landscape and into the ditch and into the waterways and into the ocean. The pollution ends up at the non-point where it happened.You can't say which is more dangerous, because it depends what the pollution is. A nuclear accident is usually more dangerous at point because the radiation weakens as it moves further away from the source. Oil pollution is damaging at point, but is more dangerous if the oil gets into the waterways and oceans where it can do a lot of damage. Pollution from a coal-burning power station is huge and constant.
