Blogger Investigating $27 Billion Lawsuit Against Chevron, Sending Correspondent to Ecuador

“Big Oil” is under siege. Nowhere, however, are the stakes higher than in Ecuador. Within six months, a judge in that country is expected to issue a decision in a class-action environmental lawsuit that could cost San Ramon, Calif.-based Chevron Oil Company $27 billion.

To learn more about the case, I will travel with my oldest son, Matt, to ChevronLatin America’s offices in Miami for an April 30 briefing. After the briefing, however, I will return to St. Louis while Matt accompanies Chevron officials on a fact-finding journey to Ecuador.

Read more about the trip here.
