Sable Offshore seeks to restart California offshore drilling despite past spills, legal challenges, and environmental concerns.
Sable Offshore Corp., a Texas-based fossil fuel company backed by the Trump administration, is seeking to restart offshore oil drilling and pipeline operations off California’s coast, despite a 2015 spill that released over 140,000 gallons of crude and caused widespread environmental and economic damage.
The company faces multiple legal challenges, including a $18 million fine from the California Coastal Commission and lawsuits from state agencies and environmental groups over alleged illegal waste discharge and environmental harm.
Sable claims it has proper permits and denies wrongdoing, while critics cite its history of violations and distrust in its operations.
The U.S.
Interior Department supports the project as part of a broader push to expand domestic energy production, and Sable plans to shift to federal waters using tankers if blocked onshore.
A court hearing is pending as the legal battle continues.
