REPORT DATE: 05-10-2022 REPORT TIME: 1330 UTC REGION: GULF OF MEXICO SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: MAIN PASS 59 IMAGE DATE: 05-09-2022 IMAGE TIME: 1614 UTC DATA SOURCE: PLANETSCOPE MODE: Multispectral RESOLUTION: 3 meter LOCATION: 29°21'44" N/88°56'15" W AREA: 0.27 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: Medium-High REMARKS: Possible, unconfirmed oil was observed in satellite imagery. The area of possible oil measured approximately 2.3nm in length and up to 0.1nm in width. The area was linear and partially segmented to the east. There was a small portion that appeared more silver and shiny than the rest of the area, which could mean that relatively thicker oil may have been present. It is unclear where the possible oil may have emanated from, but there were numerous oil facilities in the area. This keeps the confidence level at Medium-High. The winds were ESE at 5-10kts. UNCERTAINTIES: A point source could not be confidently determined.
