​AG Bonta, on behalf of the State of California, today announced a new lawsuit against the Trump Administration challenging the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright’s “Pipeline Capacity Prioritization and Allocation Order” (Order) and seeking to halt its use as the basis for Sable Offshore Corp.’s (Sable) unlawful restart of two California onshore oil pipelines that are subject to State regulation and oversight. The Order, issued under the Defense Production Act (DPA), unlawfully purports to supersede state law, state court orders, and a federal court-approved Consent Decree to allow Sable to restart oil transport through lines CA-324 and CA-325, also known as the Las Flores Pipelines.
