REPORT DATE: 07-05-2022 REPORT TIME: 1645 UTC REGION: GULF OF MEXICO SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: SOUTH TIMBALIER 28 IMAGE DATE: 07-04-2022 IMAGE TIME: 1618 UTC DATA SOURCE: PLANETSCOPE MODE: Multispectral RESOLUTION: 3 meter LOCATION: 28°59'06" N/90°15'56" W AREA: 1.01 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: Medium-High REMARKS: Possible, unconfirmed oil was observed in satellite imagery. The possible oil was located in the South Timbalier area of Louisiana. It measured 3 nm long and was .4 nm across its widest point. The possible oil was distinguishable from natural phenomena and an area of silver sheen was observed indicative of thicker oil. Winds were SE 5 kts. UNCERTAINTIES: An oil facility was observed at the east end of the anomaly which may have been a point source. Confidence was limited due to the limited extent of the imagery and the possibility that the anomaly spread beyond the eastern edge of the scene, and the facility. Clouds and cloud shadows also obscured the western extent of possible oil.
