OML 16 record summary

This authority page combines evidence matching the verified identifiers OML 16 without rewriting the label supplied by either source. It contains 61 monthly gas flare observations from April 2019 through May 2026. No oil spill record explicitly mentions these identities in the searchable location or impact fields.

Connected state records: Imo. A state connection can come from an explicitly matched spill or the supplied block coordinate and does not define the block's complete legal boundary.

Relationship rules: spill links require an explicit block-name match in source text; cluster links use polygon containment when a matched polygon exists, otherwise they are clearly labelled as coordinate proximity. Neither establishes legal responsibility or ownership.
