Sorry guys I must not be firing on all cylinders today. Can someone explain to me why they plan to burn the oil?

If they were going to burn something why didn't they burn all that oil that was on the water's surface before it hit land...

That was my thought, why didn't they just keep the controlled burns going? :-\
