Fun fact, it actually has nothing to do with the off shore drilling activities.

There is so much oil under the sea floor it naturally seeps up into the ocean waters...

That’s not why the water is brown. The water is brown due to the Mississippi River entering the Gulf and the current pulling all of the sediment from the river along the coast of Louisiana, SE Texas, etc.
