Sable Offshore Corp. said a halt in purchases by its only crude buyer prompted a going-concern warning, as the producer’s shares fell 52.2% in Nov. 9 trading.
The buyer stopped taking crude in early October while carrying out refinery upgrades and maintenance, the company said. The share decline came after the purchases stopped.
A going-concern warning signals doubt about a company’s ability to continue operating. Sable’s disclosure linked the warning to the crude-purchase halt.
