Chevron Corporation Research Report

On September 18, 2013, Chevron Corporation (Chevron) announced that an arbitration tribunal issued a Partial Award in favor of the Company and its subsidiary, Texaco Petroleum Company (TexPet). According to Chevron, the Tribunal found that the Settlement and Release Agreements that the government of Ecuador entered into with TexPet released TexPet and its affiliates of any liability for all public interest or collective environmental claims. Hewitt Pate, Vice President and General Counsel of Chevron, commented, "The game is up. This award by an eminent international tribunal confirms that the fraudulent claims against Chevron should not have been brought in the first place. It is now beyond question that efforts by American plaintiffs' lawyers and the government of Ecuador to enforce this fraudulent judgment violate Ecuadorian, U.S., and international law. Continuing to support this fraud only increases the government of Ecuador's growing liability to Chevron and we urge Ecuador to reconsider its position and pursue a more responsible course."
