If the rescue operation is to cost nearly 2x the expected value of the oil, why is the UN still promising the revenue of the oil sale to the warring Yemeni parties that have caused this crisis? It seems that at least the sale price of the oil should go towards it's cleanup.
Article mentions there will be an attempt to salvage the oil worth 75MM. Is this possible? Totally ignorant how oil is stored and if it is "shelf stable". Is there some sort of cleaning process involved or is crude oil just that, crude?
