Sable Offshore Corp. Statement on California Coastal Commission Litigation

Sable Offshore Corp. (“Sable” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SOC) today provided an update regarding its ongoing litigation with the California Coastal Commission (“Coastal Commission”). In the Santa Barbara Superior Court’s tentative ruling released on October 14, 2025, the court indicated that it will deny Sable’s claims against the Coastal Commission. Sable vigorously disagrees with the court’s tentative ruling. If adopted after the court’s hearing scheduled on October 15, the ruling would have no impact on the resumption of petroleum transportation through the Las Flores Pipeline System. Additionally, oil and gas production from the federal Santa Ynez Unit and the flow of petroleum from the Santa Ynez Unit to the Las Flores Canyon processing facilities or to a potential Offshore Storage & Treating Vessel (“OS&T”) would be unaffected by rulings in the Coastal Commission litigation. Sable nevertheless intends to appeal this ruling to the California Court of Appeal if the ruling is adopted by the Santa Barbara Superior Court.

Sable is suing the Coastal Commission for the damages it has caused Sable by erroneously issuing cease and desist orders during Sable’s anomaly repair program on the Las Flores Pipeline System. The anomaly repair program and hydrotesting of the Las Flores Pipeline System was completed in May 2025 in accordance with the Federal Consent Decree. Sable intends to continue its pursuit of the writ of mandate in the Court of Appeal as well as declaratory relief and inverse condemnation claims in excess of approximately $347 million.

Jim Flores, Chairman and CEO of Sable said, “Although the tentative ruling is disappointing, it has no impact on Sable’s business strategy of either resuming petroleum transportation through the Las Flores Pipeline System or selling its Santa Ynez Unit production through an OS&T. California has an opportunity to authorize the resumption of petroleum transportation through the Las Flores Pipeline System per its obligations in the Federal Consent Decree and lower gasoline prices for California residents. Sable is very concerned about the state’s crumbling energy complex. California’s economy will face dire consequences if refineries continue to close due to the lack of domestic production, which should be a major concern for the bondholders of the State of California. The Las Flores Pipeline System offers a California-based solution benefitting workers, state and local government revenues and the environment that can almost immediately serve to reverse this trend.”
