SkyTruth Oil Spill Reports is where we at SkyTruth publish our reports on oil spills that we observe around the world.
His path to environmental tech wound through cybersecurity boardrooms and NPR’s overnight newsroom before a chance airport book purchase changed everything.
In 2023, SkyTruth introduced changes that expand the platform’s capabilities and provide additional monitoring opportunities. In this blog post, we’ll explore three new incident types added to SkyTruth Alerts – California Hazardous Materials Spills, Texas Oil and Gas Drilling Permits, and U.K. Oil and Gas Spills at Sea.
As 2021 draws to a close, SkyTruth is celebrating its 20th anniversary as an environmental tech nonprofit. It’s hard for us to believe how far SkyTruth — and technology — have come in those 20 years, and how much we have accomplished. In 2022 we’re poised to grow even more; doubling the size of the SkyTruth team and magnifying our ability to use technology to promote conservation for people and the planet. Read on to join us on our journey from very humble beginnings to high-tech innovators.

In July 2025, we ran a focused four week Research and Development (R&D) sprint to test how open-access satellite imagery could be used to detect methane emissions from offshore oil and gas infrastructure, which is a notoriously hard-to-detect, under-monitored source of climate pollution. This post shares what we set out to do, what we built, what we learned, and where we plan to go next.
We launched this site in February, 2012 so that we could start to collect the many reports that we have published over the years in one place to make it easier for people to find and compare them. This site is still a work in progress – we will be publishing all new oil spill reports here and we will be gradually collecting past reports here as time and resources permit.
