Oil has a higher viscosity than ocean water so, when it's poured from a ship, will tend to prevent local wind waves from breaking, thus making the boat's passage safer.
The metaphor means, "To calm things down".

What happen when you pour cold water on boiling water?
It also depends on the temperature of the water For Example: If the water is at a bearable temperature such as at 65 degrees for the highest then all that might be heard is a sizzle and then the oil will calm and boil together with the water. You might get one or two oil droplets splashing when you pour it if you're lucky. A good way to reduce the splashing back of oil when boiling it is just by adding a little water. Still expect a little droplets. On the other hand if the water is at let us say 87 degrees. Then expect oil droplet particles mixed with water droplets particles to rebound after you pour. It also depends at the speed you pour it and the amounts of oil you pour. The faster one's pours the oil the more the oil rebounds. The more water there is, is the less the oil rebounds. ALSO if you pour more oil than there is water then expect minimum oil droplets rebounds. But when the oil is more than the water or even close to being equal amount and the water is extremely hot then there shall be oil rebounds and after a few seconds (around 12 seconds) the rebounds shall cease and the water and oil shall boil together as one.
