    This is a NOAA educational illustration by Kate Sweeney depicting a cross-sectional cutaway view of an offshore oil platform and its underwater structural foundation. The diagram shows the full extent of the platform's steel jacket structure extending 440 feet from the ocean surface to the seafloor. Fish are visible swimming around the submerged structure, illustrating how oil platforms can serve as artificial reef habitats.

    This is a NOAA Marine Pollution Surveillance Report dated April 30, 2018, analyzing a Landsat 8 OLI satellite image captured on April 29, 2018 at 1625 UTC over Mississippi Canyon Block 20 in the Gulf of Mexico. The report identifies a possible oil slick extending approximately 21 nautical miles SSE from the destroyed Taylor Platform, covering a total area of 110.70 km². The anomaly is classified as unconfirmed oil with high confidence, showing both possible thicker oil near the source and thinner possible oil extending further southeast.
    This is a NOAA/NESDIS Marine Pollution Surveillance map report for location MC20, dated February 23, 2020, indicating no oil was observed. The map covers the Gulf of Mexico region near the Louisiana/Mississippi coastline, with a blue hatched rectangle indicating the Sentinel-2B satellite image footprint. The report confirms no oil was detected despite optimal observation conditions, as analyzed by Rodriguez.

    This is a NOAA scientific illustration by Kate Sweeney depicting an underwater oil platform collapse and resulting oil spill. The diagram shows a cross-section of ocean water at 440 feet depth, illustrating how oil and gas plumes rise from a collapsed platform on the ocean floor to create a surface oil slick. An inset diagram in the lower right shows the platform's position before and after collapse.
    This is a NOAA educational illustration by Kate Sweeney depicting an underwater oil spill containment and recovery operation at a depth of 440 feet. The diagram shows the relationship between surface recovery vessels, subsurface remotely operated vehicles, a collapsed oil platform on the ocean floor, and an oil containment system. It also illustrates the behavior of oil and gas plumes rising from the seafloor to the surface.
