CNN:  “The US Coast Guard said it is investigating reports of an oil sheen, about 30-by-70 feet in size, which was spotted Saturday in roughly the same area where about 25,000 gallons of crude oil spilled into the Pacific Ocean off the Southern California coast in October. The sheen was ‘reported in vicinity of damaged pipeline,’ USCG Southern California wrote in a tweet Saturday afternoon. In a later update, the coast guard said no oil sheen was ‘currently observed by on-water and aerial assets.’

“‘Previous syntho-glass wrap was removed from pipeline, new wrap was installed. Crews will monitor the line overnight ensuring effectiveness,’ it said, adding there is an ongoing investigation to determine if the reported sheen was associated with the pipeline or a separate source. Syntho glass is a pipeline repair product, which, according to its maker, is designed to match or exceed the burst strength of the original pipe.

“October’s spill was caused by a leak in a pipeline operated by Houston-based Amplify Energy which is connected to an oil rig. Investigators believed the 13-inch linear crack in the pipeline, likely caused by a ship’s anchor dragging along the ocean floor, could have occurred as much as a year earlier. A California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesperson told CNN in a statement crews scheduled to work on the pipeline observed the sheen Saturday as they approached the area.”
