Sable Offshore Corp. Reports Restart of Oil Production at the Santa Ynez Unit and Anticipated Oil Sales from the Las Flores Pipeline System in July 2025

Sable Offshore Corp. (“Sable,” or the “Company”)(NYSE: SOC) today announced that as of May 15, 2025, it has restarted production at the Santa Ynez Unit (“SYU”) and has begun flowing oil production to Las Flores Canyon (“LFC”). Additionally, with the completion of the Gaviota State Park anomaly repairs on the Las Flores Pipeline System (the “Onshore Pipeline”) on May 18, 2025, Sable has now completed its anomaly repair program on the Onshore Pipeline as specified by the Consent Decree, the governing document for the restart and operations of the Onshore Pipeline.

Seven of the eight sections of the Onshore Pipeline have been successfully hydrotested. Sable will complete the final hydrotest in order to meet the final operational condition to restart the Onshore Pipeline as outlined in the Consent Decree. Sable expects to fill the ~540,000 barrels of crude oil storage capacity at LFC by the middle of June 2025 and subsequently recommence oil sales in July 2025.

Production Restart

• On May 15, 2025, Sable initiated the flow of oil production from six wells on Platform Harmony of the SYU to LFC at a rate of ~6,000 barrels of oil per day.
• Sable has been testing wells on Platform Harmony throughout May 2025 and the well tests have performed consistently stronger than they did at the time of shut-in on May 19, 2015 when the SYU produced approximately 45,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
• Approximately 30% of the 32 producing wells at Platform Harmony have been tested as of May 18, 2025 with the remaining Platform Harmony wells projected to be tested over the course of the next several days.
• Sable expects to initiate production from the additional 44 wells on Platform Heritage and the additional 26 wells on Platform Hondo in July 2025 and August 2025, respectively.

Disclaimers

Restart Production

The SYU assets discussed in this press release have not sold commercial quantities of hydrocarbons since such SYU assets were shut in during June of 2015 when the only Onshore Pipeline transporting hydrocarbons produced from such SYU assets to market ceased transportation. There can be no assurance that the necessary permits will be obtained that would allow the Onshore Pipeline to recommence transportation and allow the SYU assets to recommence sales. If Restart Production (as defined in the purchase and sale agreement, dated November 1, 2022 (as amended, the “Sable-EM Purchase Agreement”), between Sable Offshore Corp., Exxon Mobil Corporation (“EM”) and Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company) is not achieved by March 1, 2026, the terms of the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement with EM could result in the SYU assets being reverted to EM without any compensation to Sable therefor.
