Richard Cabrera Files Fraudulent Report: Chevron Claim
2008-09-24 05:10:00 The "Richard Cabrera Report" is the basis for the much-used number "$16 billion" as the cost of Ecuador's lawsuit against Chevron. Now, Chevron representatives hammered this claim for the following reasons: 1. Cabrera manipulated and altered findings to justify false conclusions, including backdating photos; 2. He presented no evidence of pollution by Texaco Petroleum, erroneously assigning $1.4 billion in remediation costs to pits he did not visit and do not exist; 3. He presented no evidence to support cancer claims - neither identifying a single individual nor including a single medical report; 4. He did not take a single drinking water sample to establish contamination, yet he assigned $428 million in damages to be paid to improve Ecuador's potable water system; 5. Plaintiffs helped Cabrera compile the report, accompanying and assisting him on field trips, influencing the content of his report by providing him methodological tools such as questionable surveys and pre-wri...
Ecuador Lawyer Pablo Fajardo Says Chevron Ecuador Case Could End In 2011
2008-09-24 04:51:00 This is new and extraordinary news, considering that both sides expected a ruling this year. Well, someone's going to have to finance Steve Donziger for another three years! By Mercedes Alvaro - Dow Jones Newswires, September 16, 2008: 5:47 PM QUITO - (Dow Jones)- A five-year-old environmental-damage trial in Ecuador against U.S. oil company Chevron Corp. (CVX) could take at least two or three more years, lawyers said Tuesday. The delay is expected after objections to an April report from a court- appointed expert were received by a court in Lago Agrio. The report prepared by Richard Cabrera, a geologist and environmental consultant, recommended that Chevron pay at least $8.3 billion, and maybe as much as $16 billion, in compensation for environmental damage in Ecuador. Chevron is facing the lawsuit in Ecuador for alleged contamination by its Texaco unit in the Amazon region of Lago Agrio. The company is accused of having used out-of-date technology that led to environmenta...

Chevron Pipelines Attacked In Nigeria and Columbia; FARC May Be Responsible
2008-07-07 17:42:00 In the ongoing matter of Chevron and Nigeria comes a report from UPI declaring that "Nigeria attack cripples Chevron". Moreover, the same report points a finger at militant groups like the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND). And while there's no recorded link between MEND and Chevron accuser Larry Bowoto, it seems the two have similar aims: to cripple Chevron's presence in the region, as well as that of Royal Dutch Shell.Consider this UPI report:Chevron Corp. has declared a force majeure on its oil exports following a particularly destructive attack on one of its installations in the Niger Delta.Officials at the U.S. oil company said that though production was unaffected at offshore installations, Chevron could not meet its production quotas for customers because of shortfalls caused by the pipeline attack last week at the Escravos oil field in the delta.Though Chevron would not say just how much production was lost due to the attack, Nigerian energy officia...
Chevron v. Larry Bowoto - Nigerian Accuser In Court To Explain Why Half Of
2008-06-27 21:58:00 Larry Bowoto, the Nigerian Accuser who claimed that Chevron hired people who then shot him and violated his human rights, is the focus of a court hearing that starts today according to the SF Sentinel, and which seeks to learn why Bowoto dropped half the charges that he brought before Chevron. Chevron has claimed that Bowoto and more than 100 members of his paramilitary group stormed the Parabe oil platform, 9 miles off the Nigerian coast and held its employees hostage until Nigerian police and military intervened and helped save the Chevron Nigeria employees.It reads like another version of the Ecuador Shakedown. I am getting updates on this via the Internet so visit this blog for more news on this investigation.
Chevron Attacker Larry Bowoto Avoids Human Rights Violation Claim - SF Sent
2008-06-24 16:17:00 The SF Sentinel now reports a story we first broke over at this blog where Larry Bowoto, the Nigerian man who claims he was shot by persons employed by Chevron, and whom Chevron points to as the person who held their employees hostage for several days, has dropped his lawsuit claim of human rights violations. The Sentinel observes:It is looking more and more likely that Bowoto and 150 of his compatriots took over the Chevron oil platform off Nigeria in a hostage takeover ? which is far different from their claims of human rights abuse.The trial is in September.

This story is all over the Internet, but the other side of it is not. Chevron claims that Bowoto was one of several 100 who held Chevron employees hostage for several days. A trial starts in September 2008 in San Francisco federal court against Chevron by Larry Bowoto, but after almost a decade, Bowoto?s legal team very quietly dropped half the case against Chevron earlier this year...More.

Ecuador's Oil Power Grab: Suing Chevron; Taking Over US Oil Company Product
2008-05-18 18:18:00 The Chevron / Ecuador scandal is more complex after all. The Government of Ecuador's on a mission to take over and run energy production previously owned by American Companies. And where it can't do that, it files a lawsuit of it's own against Chevron for an oil spill that's the fault of PetroEcuador, the state-owned oil company. The latest news came this weekend, when President Rafael Correa made an offer to buy out companies that did not want to do business with the country in it's original deal to slash winfall profits to just one percent. Now, Correa says he's willing to give up to a 30 percent profit if those companies drop their lawsuits. But that's not the real news for companies like Occidental Petroleum, based in America. Because of a long-running dispute, Ecuador took over Occidental's production and gave it to Petroecuador, the same company that is the real organization to blame for Ecuador's oil-spill problems of the past. Ecuador's overall strategy is...
Chevron Ecuador Scandal - Claims That Chevron Polluted Ecuador Not True
2008-05-10 19:45:00 There's a little war going on regarding Internet-based claims that Chevron was responsible for oil spills in Ecuador. If one types "Chevron Ecuador" there's a littany of results that point the finger at the oil giant but without solid evidence. Moreover, it seem the people on the anti-Chevron side have launched an effort to block information that would protect Chevron from false claims.But the fact is that Chevron did not spill oil in Ecuador. The State-Owned oil company Petroecuador did. But Ecuador itself, not a rich country, and influnced by Venezualan President Chavez, has launched a full-scale legal and PR assault on Chevron mainly because Texaco, which Chevron now owns, was partnered with Petroecuador. Texaco had long ago taken steps to clean up it's matters in this issue, but Ecuador has not. Look, I'm not a fan of big companies just because they're large, or small firms for the opposite reasons. But I do support telling the truth, and Petroecuador has not been f...
Ecuador Blames Chevron For Oil Spill While Petroecuador Gets No Blame At Al
2008-05-02 22:17:00 In a continuation of what's turning out to be a big fraud, Ecuador's pushing a lawsuit against Chevron that is $16 billion. That's right, $16 Billion. The Minority Report's Steven Foley explains:Ecuadorean indigenous groups have filed one of the largest environmental class action suits in history against an oil company to the tune of $16 billion and if successful could set a dangerous president.Ripping off the facade and digging under the surface of what at first glance looks to be nothing more than deserved retribution by indigenous groups who've suffered at the hands of Evil Big Oil one begins to see more clearly the forces behind this fraud are non other than Ecuador's own state run oil company Petroecuador, Ecuador's President Rafael Correa, and the powers-that-be who are working feverishly to re-identify and usher in a new socialist South America.You see, the fact is, Chevron, through its Texaco subsidiary (which Chevron aquired in 2001) , operated an oilfield joint ve...

Chevron Ecuador Scandal: Did Chevron Pollute Ecuador?
2008-04-21 22:47:00 There's a massive scandal brewing regarding Chevron and Ecuador and involved a nasty oil spill that the government of Ecuador's blaming Chevron for, when it appears that their own state-run oil company (not that I have anything against something state-owned) seems to be at fault. The people leading this charge against Chevron are Ecuador's leftist leader, Rafael Correa, and Pablo Fajardo and Luis Yanza, one a lawyer, the other the leader of the Amazon Defense Front.

More Chevron Truth
2008-04-19 20:27:00 Chevron, the parent company of Texaco Petroleum (Texpet) has been horribly libeled in the media as well as the courtroom by opportunistic U.S. environmental lawyers looking to turn a quick buck. They were illegitimately sued for its partnership with Petroecuador, Ecuador?s state-owned oil company. Chevron has been falsely linked to genocide and that is patently false as evidenced with the steady increase of the Cofan indigenous population from 1920 to present day.There is absolutely no basis for the claim of genocide of any indigenous group. Ecuadorgovernment census data and all peer-reviewed published population data agree that the population of the six indigenous groups has either increased or remained stable since Texpet began operations in Ecuador. For example, demographic studies presented by Dr. Bedoya indicate that the Cofán - far from "facing extinction" as claimed by the plaintiffs and their supporters - increased in number from about 300 inhabitants in 1955 to 1,044 in th...

Barons MD, Laurence Sayers Gillan, said, "This is the first time we have sold a car for over £100,000, and it marks an important milestone in this, our 10th anniversary year. This rare car headlined our March 18th auction, but bidding in the room didn't quite achieve the desired level. However, we conducted private negotations on behalf of the vendor afterwards, and are delighted to announce that a sale has been agreed. We hope to see many more six-figure sales in the future." A very chilly March day didn't prevent buyers from travelling to Sandown Park for the Barons auction.

What will Chevron do in Reliance Petroleum Limited?
2007-12-20 19:59:00 By Vipin Agnihotri When completed, Reliance Petroleum Limited is going to be Asia?s biggest refinery but at present it is in construction phase. Despite all this, for the last one year, Reliance Petroleum Limited has been one of the most buzzing stocks in the Indian market. It is worth mentioning in this regard that stock of Reliance Petroleum Limited has provided return of more than 200 per cent over the last year. Albeit in the recent past, from its all time high of Rs 295, the stock has fallen by more than 30 per cent. Lots of experts believe that the US oil major Chevron, which presently owns 5 per cent in Reliance Petroleum Limited, may sell its stake. According to sources, Chevron is evaluating all the options available at hand. Not so long ago, Reliance Industries Limited sold as much as 4.01 per cent equity in Reliance Petroleum Limited for an average price of Rs 223, totaling little over Rs 40 billion.

2007-12-13 15:39:00 CNN steps on its dick by trying to have it both ways; protecting the villain and honoring the hero.

Pablo Fajardo of Ecuador was saluted in the "Fighting for Justice" category for his lifelong effort "to force one of the world's largest oil corporations to pay more than $6 billion to clean up toxic waste in the Amazon rain forest." CNN never named Chevron, a big advertiser on CNN, as the oil company.

Chevron deciding on its RPL stake
2007-12-13 00:00:00 Global petroleum giant Chevron is evaluating different options regarding the stake it holds in Reliance Petroleum (RPL), a refinery business promoted by the Mukesh Ambani led Reliance Industries Group (RIL). Chevron holds 4 per cent stake in RPL with an option of extending the holding to 29 per cent by July’ 09.Price of RPL shares is rising pretty abruptly and has tripled from the IPO issue price since its listing. It was issued in mid-2006 at 60/- and on 27th November’ 07 the counter closed at 198/- per share. Such huge appreciation in share prices has cropped up different problems for Chevron.Firstly, this price surge has increased capital gains on the shares, which Chevron is currently holding. Secondly, RIL has recently sold 4 per cent of its stake in RPL. This has extended another option for Chevron in booking profits on their existing position. Thirdly, if Chevron wants to increase their stake then it will cost them a hefty sum of approx US$ 5.5 billion following the price app...
