Sable continues to lawfully work with all state and federal agencies to work towards a successful restart of Lines 324 and 325. Concerning our legal and established pipeline’s right of way and the work conducted within previously disturbed soil, we have been and continue to work with the appropriate agencies to align interpretations in the handling of backfill soil during the repair and maintenance process. We are fully cooperating and compliant with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife requirements. The allegations from the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office are inflammatory and extremely misleading. All of the repairs and excavations were supervised by a certified independent biologist and cultural resource professional and Office of State Fire Marshal personnel. No wildlife were adversely affected. All of these previously disturbed areas have been or are being remediated in accordance with state and local erosion control mitigation measures.

The above statement is in response to litigation filed by the Santa Barbara County District Attorney on September 16, 2025 titled People of the State of California v. Sable Offshore Corp. in the Superior Court for the County of Santa Barbara.

Disclaimers

The Santa Ynez Unit assets discussed in this press release have not sold commercial quantities of hydrocarbons since such Santa Ynez Unit assets were shut in during June of 2015 when the only onshore pipeline transporting hydrocarbons produced from such Santa Ynez Unit assets to market ceased transportation. There can be no assurance that the necessary approvals will be obtained that would allow the onshore pipeline to recommence transportation and allow the Santa Ynez Unit assets to recommence sales.
