Sable Offshore scored a rare win over environmental activists in California after regulators ruled the technical “hiccups” behind excess air pollution at one of its offshore oil platforms should be resolved within months. The Air Pollution Control District’s quasi-judicial hearing examiner Terrence Dressler granted the oil company a five-day variance allowing Platform Heritage, located eight miles off the Santa Barbara coast, to temporarily exceed the amount of air pollution permitted under its operating permit. The decision came over objections from environmental groups that have spent the past two years fighting Sable’s return to offshore oil production, according to the Santa Barbara Independent.
