Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- The consortium is credible and the reservoir pilot exceeded expectations (85% recovery, 93% efficiency) with the ocean phase now permitted, but the commercial target is five years out with onshore feasibility, CEQA review, and open-ocean validation all still ahead — materially earlier-stage than Flocean's now-operating Mongstad unit.
- Next
- Watch for the onshore feasibility study results, the outcome of the CEQA/tribal environmental review, and the first open-ocean pod data from the Coastal-Commission-approved Malibu phase before treating the 60 MGD / 2030 target as credible.
