Disclaimers

The Santa Ynez Unit restarted production in May 2025. Sable has not sold commercial quantities of hydrocarbons since acquisition of the Santa Ynez Unit. The Santa Ynez Unit was shut in during June of 2015 when the only onshore pipeline transporting hydrocarbons produced from the Santa Ynez Unit to market ceased transportation. Since the May 2025 production restart, the oil produced has been transported via pipeline to storage tanks onshore at Sable’s Las Flores Canyon processing facility where it is being stored pending resumed petroleum transportation. There can be no assurance that the necessary approvals will be obtained that would allow the Company to recommence sales.
