          This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") is being filed on behalf of Sable Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Sable LP"), Sable Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of Sable LP ("Sable LLC"), and James C. Flores, an individual and the sole member of Sable LLC (together with Sable LP and Sable LLC, the "Reporting Persons"), as an amendment to the initial statement on Schedule 13D relating to the beneficial ownership by the Reporting Persons of shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Common Stock"), of Plains Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2001 (the "Schedule 13D"). This Amendment is being filed to disclose that each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on June 8, 2001. Consequently, the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds

          Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

          On May 8, 2001, in connection with Mr. Flores joining the Issuer as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and in connection with that certain Unit Transfer and Contribution Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2001, among Sable Holdings, L.P., Sable Investments, L.P., the Issuer, Plains All American Inc., and Mr. Flores pursuant to which Mr. Flores agreed to acquire an indirect interest in Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("PAA"), Sable LP entered into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2001 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), with Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. ("KA"), pursuant to which Sable LP agreed to acquire (the "Acquisition") 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock held by certain affiliates of KA at a price of $25.00 per share. The Acquisition was consummated on June 8, 2001 and occurred simultaneously with the consummation of Mr. Flores' acquisition of such indirect interest in PAA. Sable LP purchased such shares with available working capital, which was funded by the personal funds of Mr. Flores.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

          Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

          (a)     Each of Sable LP, Sable LLC and Mr. Flores beneficially owns 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as a result of Sable LP's acquisition of such shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. Such 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock represent 4.1% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock, which percentage was calculated by dividing (i) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Sable LP, Sable LLC and Mr. Flores, by (ii) 24,464,933 shares of Common Stock outstanding on June 11, 2001 as disclosed in that certain Definitive Proxy Statement filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 13, 2001.

          (b)     Sable LP has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote of and the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it. However, Sable LLC and Mr. Flores may direct the vote and may direct the disposition of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Sable LP.

          (c)     Except as described in Item 6 hereof, there have been no transactions in the Issuer's securities by Sable LP, Sable LLC and Mr. Flores during the last sixty days.

          (d)     Not Applicable.

          (e)     Each of Sable LP, Sable LLC and Mr. Flores ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on June 8, 2001.
