Sheen Report at Summerland Beach, Summerland, CA. Summerland, CA. 1. On January 6, 2023, the USCG Marine Safety Detachment Santa Barbara contacted their NOAA SSC to request oil fate information for a sheen report on Summerland Beach from earlier in the day. Now an inactive oil field in Santa Barbara County, it is among the most active areas of natural oil seeps in the world with many abandoned and decommissioned oil wells from as early as the 1890s. Initial oil movement information was provided via telephone, though a more specific request for trajectory support is anticipated after site inspections the morning of 07-JAN-2023. 2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: CA CRUDE OIL. 3. POSITION 34.419N 119.604W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 10554: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/10554
