State Safety Regulator Reviews Sable Offshore's Restart Plan

The Office of State Fire Marshal has informed Sable Offshore that its restart plan may still have remaining steps to complete.

In a letter sent to Sable Offshore on October 22, the Office of State Fire Marshal noted that the company had not met all restart requirements, specifically regarding tool sizing tolerance as outlined in item 9 of the safety waivers granted in December of the previous year.

The state safety regulator argued that full remediation requires a permanent repair method and that tool tolerance - the acceptable variation in tool accuracy - is included in the state's safety waivers.

The Office of State Fire Marshal indicated that there are unmet conditions within the waivers granted to Sable Offshore regarding its plans to restart oil production in California.

Author's summary: Sable Offshore's restart plan has unmet conditions.
