REPORT DATE: 04-10-2021 REPORT TIME: 0530 UTC REGION: GULF OF MEXICO SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: MISSISSIPPI CANYON 65 IMAGE DATE: 04-09-2021 IMAGE TIME: 1638 UTC DATA SOURCE: PLANETSCOPE MODE: Multispectral RESOLUTION: 3 meter LOCATION: 28°53'55" N/88°55'33" W AREA: 0.19 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: Medium-High REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The largest part of the anomaly measured approximately 0.5 nmi long and approximately 0.2 nmi wide. The white and shimmery appearance was indicative of thicker oil. There were numerous oil facilities and pipelines in the area, but the anomaly was not visibly associated with any particular source. Winds were from the south at 20 kts. UNCERTAINTIES: Winds were somewhat high in the area, and there were no suspected sources directly attributed to the anomaly. Additionally, there were no previously active NRC reports or hotlines to which the anomaly could be attributed.
