REPORT DATE: 11-07-2022 REPORT TIME: 1000 UTC REGION: GULF OF MEXICO SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: SHIP SHOAL 291 IMAGE DATE: 11-06-2022 IMAGE TIME: 1644 UTC DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL2B MODE: Multispectral RESOLUTION: 10 meter LOCATION: 28°16'28" N/91°05'33" W AREA: 5.86 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: High REMARKS: Possible, unconfirmed oil was observed in satellite imagery. The possible oil appeared to emanate from the Mon Forte facility, a known repeat oil leak source in Ship Shoal area 291 off the Louisiana coast. It measured approximately 14.54 nmi long and up to 1.12 nmi in width. The slick appeared dark and stood out well against the background. Winds at the time of image were from the SE at 5-10 knots. Confidence was determined to be high given the association with a repeat leak source and visible chromatic characteristics.
