and the study is far from complete but

and the study is far from complete but I’ll bet a result of the study will be

I’ll bet a result of the study will be

I’ll bet a result of the study will be that in the future don’t use dispersants

that in the future don’t use dispersants

that in the future don’t use dispersants let it play itself out firstly don’t
