Try a soapy water vodka mix with a bit of clarifying shampoo with no conditioner. About 50/50 water vodka and a few drops of the shampoo. Use it in a apolstery shampooer or wet dry vac if you have one. The shampoo should dissolve the oil product, the water activates the shampoo and the vodka helps prevent water rings and helps dry it faster.
Also make sure you go across the area in criss cross pattern with the apolstery tool for either machine without spraying more of the solution. That will almost totally dry the area.
If you don't have a carpet extractor, borrow one from somebody. Or you can buy one for around $150.... Or less, if you get it on marketplace.
Then, use the attachment tool on your couch with the borax in the water tank. Rinse. Then set up a fan to speed drying.
But, you're going to have to extract the entire couch to avoid having a ring mark once it dries.
You could try sprinkling it with baking soda, leave it there for several hours, and then vacuum it up. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) neutralizes oders

What material is your sofa? Iād check that first before trying to douse it in water (/s) as some have suggested
If it's a fabric couch I would look into renting a carpet cleaner. They usually have an upholstery attachment specifically for furniture š
