The basics of Oil Skimming is based on two properties:
Specific Gravity:
Most hydrocarbons have a lower specific gravity than water. Without agitation, oil separates from the water and floats to the surface.
Surface Tension & Affinity: Normally, oil bonds more tightly to itself and other materials than to water. This affinity, and differences in surface tension between oil and water, cause oils to adhere to a skimming medium.
