A federal grand jury has accused oil company Amplify Energy Corp. and two of its subsidiaries with negligently discharging oil during a pipeline break in California in early October.
An indictment filed on Wednesday charges Houston-based Amplify and its subsidiaries, Beta Operating Co. and San Pedro Bay Pipeline Co., with one misdemeanor count of negligent discharge of oil. The companies own and operate the 17-mile-long San Pedro Bay Pipeline.
