- Petroecuador Responsible for Oil Field InfrastructureThe U.S. trial lawyers behind the environmental lawsuit in Ecuador consistently assert that Chevron, a company that has never operated in Ecuador, is somehow responsible for the current state of Petroecuador’s environmental mismanagement. Moreover, when confronted with the reality of Petroecuador’s reckless performance over the last two decades, the lawyers […]

- Myth 5: Texaco Petroleum is solely responsible for the problems in Ecuador’s Oriente regionChevron is being blamed for a situation that is the sole responsibility of the Ecuadorian government and Petroecuador. Petroecuador, Ecuador’s state-owned oil company, was the majority partner in the consortium with Texaco Petroleum.

- Myth 4: Oil contamination in water is the biggest health threat facing the OrienteThere is no question that the people of the Oriente region of Ecuador face a series of challenges regarding health in their communities. However, they are being deceived by the trial lawyers and activists who have brought this lawsuit. The major health concerns in the Oriente region are not the result of oil operations, but are [...]
- Myth 3: The judicial system in Ecuador is fair and independentThe judicial system in Ecuador is not fair and is far from independent. Since assuming office in January 2007, President Correa has consolidated his power over all of Ecuador, including its political, financial, and media institutions: Correa consolidated political power when the Constituent Assembly, which is dominated by his political party, Alianza PAIS, […]
- Myth 2: There have been over 1,400 cancer deaths as a result of oil pollutionThe cancer claims made by Richard Cabrera is one of the most shocking examples of the absurdity of his work. Cabrera, a mining engineer with no experience or training in oilfield remediation work, was appointed by the court to assess possible environmental damage. This is an environmental remediation case, and none of the 48 named plaintiffs [...]
- Trial lawyers seeking a major payday don’t often want the facts to get in the way of a good storyAnd they’ll keep telling their story over and over again with more and more embellishment until someone either confronts them with the truth or pays them to stop. Here is one of the major myths the US-based trial lawyers and environmental activist groups have spun in a naked attempted to tarnish Chevron’s reputation in the U.S. [...]
- Claims of Indigenous Extinction in Amazon Region Proven FalseIn yet another fabrication put forth to mislead the public, the American trial lawyers behind the Chevron case in Ecuador and their activist NGO partners continue to claim that the indigenous tribes in the former consortium region are “near extinct.” However, this claim could not be any further from the truth. Dr. Robert Wasserstrom, a former [...]
- Plaintiffs’ Lawyers’ Statements on Groundwater Contamination Misleading and IncorrectIn virtually every public statement and news release, the plaintiffs’ lawyers and their activist NGO partners claim that the remediated sites that Texaco was responsible for under the 1998 Remediation Action Plan (RAP) “contain cancer-causing toxins at levels hundreds of times higher than U.S. and Ecuadorian law allows.” Not surprisingly, the plaintiffs’ law […]
- Hidden Deal in Ecuador Case: Lawyers suing Chevron Strike Agreement That Spares Petroecuador From Litigation and Ensures Government Support“Since Texaco left, Petro[Ecuador] has produced even more damage and many more disasters than Texaco.” – Pablo Fajardo, member of plaintiffs legal team Ever wonder why the U.S. trial lawyers in the Ecuadorian Amazon litigation case against Chevron choose to sue Texaco, the minority partner in the consortium that launched the country’s energy indu […]
