REPORT DATE: 04-05-2021 REPORT TIME: 0700 UTC REGION: GULF OF MEXICO SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: WEST CAMERON 33 IMAGE DATE: 04-05-2021 IMAGE TIME: 0018 UTC DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL1A MODE: Interferometric Wide (IW) VV RESOLUTION: 20 meter LOCATION: 29°41'09" N/93°01'06" W AREA: 1.32 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: High REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The anomaly was located approximately 3 nmi south of Calcasieu Pass near the LA coast, and was likely associated with a known repeat leak source first reported in NRC #1300007. The anomaly extended generally west approximately 2.4 nmi from the point source and was up to 0.2 nmi in width. The anomaly exhibited moderate contrast with its background. Winds at the time of the image were from the SSE at 8 kts. UNCERTAINTIES: The wind direction did not align well with the orientation of the anomaly, although earlier in the day the winds were somewhat more aligned, from the E to SE. Still, the repeat leak nature of this likely source allowed for high confidence.
