According to Amplify Energy, the company that operates the pipeline, the company has received the required approvals from federal regulatory agencies to restart operations at the Beta Field.
An oil pipeline that ruptured nearly two years ago off the coast of Orange County will soon be back in service.
Amplify Energy said it already started to fill the San Pedro Bay Pipeline with production, a process that started over the weekend and is expected to take about two weeks to finish. However, the announcement has garnered criticism from Southern California environmental groups, who believe in the overall shutdown of platforms along the California coast.
Amplify's President and CEO Martyn Willsher said in a press release "The approval from federal regulatory agencies and the receipt of $85 million in net proceeds from the vessels that struck and damaged our pipeline substantially concludes a very challenging last 18 months for the Company, and we are eager to focus our attention on safely operating our Beta assets, our business as a whole and the strategic direction of the Company.
