Oil and gas company Sable Offshore (NYSE:SOC) is focused on restarting production from the Santa Ynez offshore oil project in California, where operations were shut down years ago following a major pipeline spill. Bulls believe Sable could benefit from the assets it acquired cheaply from Exxon because the energy giant wanted out of California’s difficult regulatory environment. If production restarts successfully, analysts believe cash flow could rise sharply as the infrastructure is already in place and the field may still contain hundreds of millions of barrels of oil equivalent. However, major risks remain, including California lawsuits, pipeline approval delays, oil price volatility and Sable Offshore ‘s (NYSE:SOC) heavy debt load.

According to the Grok thesis shared by TheGrkportfolio, the core bull case is tied to the restart of the Santa Ynez Unit, which could potentially produce around 50,000 barrels of oil per day if crude prices remain above $100 a barrel.

The thesis also points to a Department of Justice preemption memo as a potential catalyst. This memo says the federal government could use emergency powers under the Defense Production Act to override certain California restrictions that are blocking Sable Offshore’s (NYSE:SOC) restart efforts.
