The viscosity of most crudes causes them to form hard, tight masses that are difficult to break up. The tar balls and gooey globs that plagued Alaska have not appeared in the Shetlands because of the peculiar nature of Gullfaks. Says Dan Lawn, an environmental engineer who works in Prince William Sound: "When I flew over the site in the Shetlands, I was astounded to see that the oil was not sticking to the beaches.
