I talked about my thoughts on the OSFM update in my short solo episode a couple days ago. Basically, the OSFM is there to make sure the pipeline is safe and ready to operate and checks all the boxes, but it looks like they won't intervene with the CCC. The other steps fall into place very quickly once they finish repairs, run tests, and get the green light from the Fire Marshal.
Feel free to read into the articles from the Santa Barbara Independent, but that author isn't really interested in writing an accurate story of the situation. She does sprinkle some facts into her articles on Sable, but there are a lot of inaccuracies as well. I'm biased, but they might as well be written by the CCC or the EDC.
After the CCC, they have to finish repairs, do the hydrotest, and get the green light from the Fire Marshal (the last regulatory hurdle). Seems simple, but we will see how they deal with the CCC.
Appreciate the update
Hi what are your thoughts on OSFM's latest update on the 6 steps for Sable to restart? Seems like only step 1 has been completed by Sable

Also seems like the locals are applying pressure on OSFM to stop the restart so its unlikely that sable will restart by year end?

Thanks for the update, not much to do with this company. Too risky.
Assuming the new issue with the CCC is taken care of, what's left in terms of potential regulatory hurdles?
