Under Operation With Legal Challenges

The project involves restarting crude oil pumping through a pipeline crossing California state park land near Santa Barbara. 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 Department under a Cold War-era provision to boost domestic oil supplies amid the Iran war.
