REPORT DATE: 09-05-2021 REPORT TIME: 0615 UTC REGION: GULF OF MEXICO SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: N/A IMAGE DATE: 09-04-2021 IMAGE TIME: 2353 UTC DATA SOURCE: COSMOSKYMED MODE: ScanSAR Wide VV RESOLUTION: 30 meter LOCATION: 29°13'21" N/90°28'51" W AREA: 6.76 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: High REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The anomaly appeared to emanate from an oil facility, with most of the anomaly to the southwest of the facility. The anomaly measured approximately 11.0 nmi in length with some widely spaced areas. The main portion of the anomaly measured approximately 5.0 nmi in length and up to 0.34 nmi in width. The anomaly was dark in appearance and contained sharp edges, and was well-removed from natural phenomena and other false positives in other parts of the image. Winds were from the SE at around 5 kts at the time of the image. The anomaly appeared to be related to NRC report #1315309. UNCERTAINTIES: Multiple oil facilities were within and near the anomaly. However, other than the suspected source, none appeared to be a likely source of the anomaly.
