Why does oil in a bowl of water get repelled when washing liquid is dropped on it?

The oil is not repelled. It is floating on the surface of the water as a thin film.

The water surface now contracts like a punctured rubber sheet toward the remaining area of high surface tension, dragging the oil film floating on its surface with it.
