Sable Restarts California Oil Sales, Sends Crude to Chevron

A cluster of oil platforms off the California coast has begun selling crude for the first time in over a decade, shipping supplies to a Chevron Corp. refinery near Los Angeles.

Houston-based oil driller Sable Offshore Corp. has spent years attempting to restart production at its Santa Ynez Unit platforms, facing local opposition tied to an onshore pipeline that spilled more than 2,000 barrels of oil onto California beaches when owned by Plains All American Pipeline. Earlier this month, Energy Secretary Chris Wright instructed Sable to restart the pipeline system under an executive order from President Donald Trump.
