Sable Offshore Corp. fined $18 million for unauthorized pipeline repairs leading to a 2015 oil spill near Santa Barbara.
Sable Offshore Corp. has been fined a record $18 million by the California Coastal Commission for unauthorized work on a corroded pipeline near Santa Barbara, which caused a major oil spill in 2015.
The commission ordered Sable to stop work and restore the damaged areas.
Environmental groups, including the Surfrider Foundation, oppose the project.
Sable argues it has the right to repair the pipeline under its original permit.
The fine could be reduced to $15 million if Sable complies with state orders.
