REPORT DATE: 10-02-2024 REPORT TIME: 0315 UTC REGION: GULF OF MEXICO SUB REGION: N/A AREA/BLOCK: N/A IMAGE DATE: 10-01-2024 IMAGE TIME: 1651 UTC DATA SOURCE: PLANETSCOPE MODE: Multispectral RESOLUTION: 3 meter LOCATION: 29°14'40" N/89°02'47" W AREA: 8.34 square kilometers CONFIDENCE: Medium-High REPORT MAP/GIS FILES: https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/products/ocean/marinepollution/ REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The slick had a distinct appearance against the surrounding environment, had a large area of brighter appearance, which was an indication of possible thicker oil. The slick was possibly associated with NRC #1412398. The slick was approximately 2.98nm in length, and approximately 0.82nm at the widest point. Winds near the time of the image were out of the north at 11kts. UNCERTAINTIES: There are numerous oil producing wells in the area, so we could not identify a point source. This limits our confidence to Medium-High for this report.
