I believe you are asking, "Where did the Gulf of Mexico crude oil go?"
Some of the oil was recovered using skimmers. BP was able to conduct controlled burning of the oil, where it was most concentrated. There was subsea recovery of some of the oil using the devices fabricated by BP (top hat, riser insertion tube, stand-alone riser).
Nature helps remove oil or make the oil less of a problem to the environment. Since the gulf water is warm, a large percentage of the oil evaporated away. Waves will break up the oil into smaller droplets and partially dissolve some of the oil. Bacteria in the water digest the oil if it is small bits. BP used dispersants that break up the oil so bacteria can digest the oil.
These processes do not eliminate all the oil. Some oil remains but the amount is far from certain. Wikipedia identifies some estimates of the remaining oil. Scientists are concern that some of the remaining oil may be on the sea floor.
