REMARKS: Possible, unconfirmed oil was observed in satellite imagery. An oil slick extended 8.9 nm east of an oil facility and was up to 0.2 nm wide. Possible thicker oil existed close to the source.

UNCERTAINTIES: This is a known repeat leak source that has been reported on frequently over the last 30 days. Biogenic material was present in the scene, especially at the eastern end, leading to some uncertainty in the full extent of the oil slick.
