It says little to explain a panic rush because there is no panic rush. If it can start in under a year that's quick, but not particularly rushed, if the reason it can start is because oil was found, environmental approvals where finished and drilling started, only to be shut down by the prohibition, and doing something reasonably quickly because its a good idea to do it quickly, doesn't indicate panic.

If someone has said something about some offshore locations being able to produce new oil in less than a year, it could be someone has been told that by folks in the know. I don't know that the 1 year claim is true or not. I do know its possible that its true if there are newly leasable areas w/i 6-7 miles of an existing offshore CA platform (of which there are a bunch). You could definitely drill such a target from an existing platform in that time frame.
