AREA/BLOCK: EUGENE ISLAND   330
IMAGE DATE: 05-01-2019
IMAGE TIME: 1639 UTC
DATA SOURCE: SENTINEL2A 
MODE: Multispectral  
RESOLUTION: 10 meter
LOCATION: 28°14'03" N/91°41'31" W
AREA: 0.16 square kilometers (Updated 05/14/2020)
CONFIDENCE: Medium-High
REMARKS: Possible oil was observed in satellite imagery. This anomaly is unconfirmed as oil. The anomaly was believe to be associated with NRC report #1244286. The anomaly was approximately 1.01 nm oriented SW-NNE and approximately 0.06 nm in width. There were portions of the anomaly that exhibited a silver/white shimmer center which is a characteristic of possible thicker oil.



UNCERTAINTIES: The anomaly was 0.17 nm NE of the coordinates provided in the NRC report mentioned above. Winds near the time of the image did not align well with the orientation of the anomaly. Lastly, the full extent of the anomaly was unknown due to the low-moderate contrast against its surroundings.
