REPORT DATE: 03-22-2021 REPORT TIME: 0130 UTC REGION: GULF OF MEXICO SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: EAST CAMERON 49 IMAGE DATE: 03-21-2021 IMAGE TIME: 1639 UTC DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL2A MODE: Multispectral RESOLUTION: 10 meter LOCATION: 29°24'26" N/92°53'46" W AREA: 0.01 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: Medium REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The slick was linear in shape and was approximately 0.20 nm in length and 0.02 nm in width. The slick had a moderate contrast to the image background (this is due to image enhancements for multispectral imagery to pull out the anomaly). The slick was located approximately 17 nm southwest of southern Louisiana. Winds around the time of the image were out of the east at 15 kts, which aligned well with the slick. UNCERTAINTIES: The slick only had a moderate contrast to the background image. Significant image enhancements were needed to bring out the anomaly. There were no known reports around the location. All of these factors limit our confidence for this report.
