Organization and General
Sable Offshore Corp. (“Sable,” the “Company” or “we”) (formerly known as Flame Acquisition Corp. or “Flame”) is an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, Texas. Flame was initially formed as a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of November 2, 2022 (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), with Sable Offshore Corp., a Texas corporation (“SOC”), and Sable Offshore Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the parent company of SOC (“Holdco” and, together with SOC, “Legacy Sable”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on February 14, 2024, (i) Holdco merged with and into Flame, with Flame surviving such merger (the “Holdco Merger”) and (ii) Legacy Sable merged with and into Flame, with Flame surviving such merger (the “SOC Merger” and, together with the Holdco Merger, the “Mergers” and, along with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Merger”).
On November 1, 2022, SOC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (as amended, the “Sable-EM Purchase Agreement”) with Exxon Mobil Corporation (“Exxon”) and Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company (“MPPC,” and together with Exxon, “EM”) pursuant to which SOC agreed to acquire from EM certain assets constituting the Santa Ynez field in Federal waters offshore California (“SYU”) and associated onshore processing and pipeline assets (such “Assets,” as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, collectively the “SYU Assets”). The SYU Assets include the Santa Ynez Pipeline System (“SYPS”), which is a single, integrated and continuous interstate pipeline system that transports crude oil from the SYU onshore and then inland. Specifically, the SYPS is primarily comprised of offshore pipeline segments that transport crude oil from the SYU onshore, midstream processing and storage facilities at Las Flores Canyon (“LFC”) and onshore pipeline segments that transport crude oil to Pentland Station in Kern County, CA.
On February 14, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the Merger and related transactions (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by the Merger Agreement, following which Flame was renamed “Sable Offshore Corp.”. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement were also consummated on February 14, 2024 (“Sable-EM Closing Date”), immediately after the Business Combination, as a result of which Sable purchased the SYU Assets, effective as of January 1, 2022. On February 15, 2024, Sable’s shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”) began trading on NYSE under the symbols, “SOC” and “SOC.WS,” respectively.
On March 13, 2026, the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, signed an Executive Order to, among other things, delegate certain authorities under the Defense Production Act of 1950 (“DPA”) to the United States Secretary of Energy. Subsequently, on March 13, 2026, the United States Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, issued an order to the Company invoking the DPA (the “DPA Order”) to immediately prioritize and allocate pipeline transportation services for hydrocarbons from the SYU through the SYPS in order to address the energy scarcity and supply disruption risks caused by California policies that have left the region and U.S. military forces dependent on foreign oil.
On March 14, 2026, the Company resumed the transportation of hydrocarbons (i.e., oil) produced at the SYU through the SYPS at the direction of the United States Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, in compliance with the DPA Order. In doing so, the Company facilitates the supply of domestically produced crude oil through U.S. pipeline infrastructure to U.S. refineries, supporting domestic consumers and the U.S. military.
On March 29, 2026, the Company initiated oil sales upon filling the SYPS, resulting in total sales volumes of approximately 1,923 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (“Mboe”) for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires, references to (i) the “Company,” “Sable,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are to Sable Offshore Corp, a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, following the Business Combination, (ii) “Flame” refers to Flame Acquisition Corp. prior to the Business Combination, (iii) the SYU refers to the 16 federal leases, three offshore production platforms (Hondo, Harmony, and Heritage), and associated ancillary facilities located in federal waters offshore California, and (iv) the SYPS refers to the interstate pipeline connecting the SYU to the Pentland Station terminal, inclusive of “Pipeline Segment 324” and “Pipeline Segment 325”, or collectively referred to as “Pipeline
Segments 324 and 325” (formerly known as “901/903 Assets” and as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement), the Las Flores Canyon (“LFC”) onshore processing, storage, and related pipeline assets, and the offshore pipeline connecting the SYU to LFC. The SYU Assets include the SYU and the SYPS.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
2026 Refinancing Transactions
On July 2, 2026, the Company consummated a series of transactions intended to refinance its existing indebtedness, strengthen its liquidity position, and extend its debt maturities (collectively, the “2026 Refinancing Transactions”). The 2026 Refinancing Transactions consisted of (i) the issuance of approximately $675.0 million aggregate principal amount of a Senior Secured Term Loan B (the “Term Loan B”) due December 15, 2028, (ii) the issuance of $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Convertible Notes”), (iii) an underwritten public offering of 37,337,662 shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $115.0 million, and (iv) the entry into a new senior secured reserve-based revolving credit facility providing commitments of up to $500.0 million (the “Senior Revolver”), initially subject to a $0.0 borrowing base. The Term Loan B and the Senior Revolver are collectively referred to as the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities.” The net proceeds from the 2026 Refinancing Transactions were used to repay the Company’s existing Senior Secured Term Loan (“Senior Secured Term Loan”) with Exxon Mobil Corporation in full (refer to Note 4Debt), pay related fees and expenses, and provide additional liquidity for general corporate purposes. The Senior Revolver was also entered into to support the Company’s ongoing liquidity, hedging, and cash management needs and had no borrowing availability at closing given its initial $0.0 borrowing base.
The 2026 Refinancing Transactions occurred subsequent to June 30, 2026 and, accordingly, is not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026. Refer to Note 10—Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the 2026 Refinancing Transactions and the related agreements.
Going Concern
In connection with the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern, and concluded that substantial doubt existed regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date such financial statements were issued, due to the Company’s then current debt maturity profile and related liquidity considerations.
On July 2, 2026, the Company completed the 2026 Refinancing Transactions, which extended the maturity of the Company’s debt obligations and improved its liquidity position. As a result, management re-evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and concluded that the conditions and events that previously raised substantial doubt had been alleviated. Accordingly, substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern no longer exists as of the issuance date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, which have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern.
