REPORT DATE: 07-25-2018 REPORT TIME: 2336 UTC REGION: GULF OF MEXICO SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: MISSISSIPPI CANYON 20 IMAGE DATE: 07-25-2018 IMAGE TIME: 1920 UTC DATA SOURCE: AQUA MODE: Multispectral RESOLUTION: 250 meter LOCATION: 28°56'16" N/88°58'14" W AREA: 39.03 square kilometers (Updated 05/26/2020) CONFIDENCE: High REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The anomaly appeared to emanate from the destroyed Taylor Energy platform and extends NE for approximately 15NM; the area of possible oil appeared silver and was indicative of oil in sun-glint. Wind data from buoy ‘KMIS’ indicates that winds were out of the W at approximately 2.6 m/s. although this dose not align well with the orientation of the anomaly, Confidence remains high because the Taylor platform is known as a repeat leak source. UNCERTAINTIES: Local wind data dose align well with the orientation of this anomaly.
