First, the oil company should be held responsible for the loss since it was due to their error.
The ISO DP 00 03 excludes discharge, dispersal, seepage, migration, release or escape of pollutants unless caused by a coverage C peril. A pollutant is a solid, liquid, gaseous or thermal irritant or contaminant, including acids, alkalis, chemicals and waste. Oil is indeed a pollutant, and the discharge of oil by an oil company at the wrong home is not a coverage C peril. There is no coverage for this loss.
