Chevron Ecuador Case Background
The Chevron Ecuador case has been the base of controversy for years. This site sets the facts straight and gives the public the right to know the truth about this case. For years, U.S. trial lawyers, political operatives and activists have waged a campaign of misinformation against Chevron in Ecuador. Without evidence, facts or science that will stand up to international scrutiny, these U.S. trial lawyers and their representatives continue to freely release false and misleading information in an attempt to force a large financial settlement in the lawsuit. The false news and misleading information needs to be corrected - This is Chevron's blog to set the record straight.
Texaco Petroleum (Texpet) was minority partner in an exploration and production venture with Petroecuador, Ecuador's state-owned oil company. The production operation took place primarily on government lands and was conducted in compliance with Ecuadorian laws and regulations. Roughly 1.7 billion barrels of crude oil were produced, with the Government of Ecuador (GOE) receiving 95 percent of the total financial proceeds.
