1. Sable Offshore Corp. (NYSE:SOC)

Sable Offshore extended its winning streak to a fifth consecutive day on Thursday, jumping 37.51 percent to finish at $13.88 apiece, as investor sentiment was fueled by the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) confirmation that a presidential order could override federal laws—sparking hopes for the company’s full resumption of oil and gas operations off the coast of California.

Thomas Elliot Gaiser, assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel, confirmed in an opinion that a presidential order could preempt California laws currently impeding Sable Offshore Corp. (NYSE:SOC) from fully operating its Las Flores onshore pipeline system.

“We conclude that it would. An order issued as an exercise of congressionally delegated authority or the President’s constitutional powers has the force of federal law under the Supremacy Clause and may preempt contrary state law,” Gaiser said.

“Because the DPA (Defense Production Act) authorizes the President to order certain actions that may otherwise be prohibited by state law, an order issued pursuant to the DPA could preempt those laws expressly or by conflict,” he added.

Sable Offshore Corp. (NYSE:SOC) acquired the Santa Ynez Unit in June 2015, but which was ordered shut for 10 years following a pipeline leak that caused a major oil spill along the California coast.

Operations only restarted in May but Sable Offshore Corp. (NYSE:SOC) remains unable to sell and transport hydrocarbons through its pipeline system pending court approval.
