The project involves restarting oil drilling and pumping crude oil through a pipeline crossing California state park land off the Santa Barbara coast. The pipeline system, owned by Sable Offshore Corp., had been idle since a 2015 rupture causing a major oil spill. The restart was directed by the U.S. Energy Secretary under a Cold War-era provision to boost domestic oil supplies amid the Iran war.
