Patterson vs Exxon
Thanks, Ken
No, I don't know any more than this article indicates.
UpstreamOnline is a mainstream industry site and I have not known them to post information that appeared titillating or highly speculative. I assume that when they post something, they have done some homework on it.
In this case I'm not sure I like their headline "ExxonMobil may be fined $1b"... we are a long way from that outcome, with determination of guilt standing in the way.
A simple statement like "Exxon accused of sabotaging Texas wells" would have more accurately described both the issue at hand and its legal status.
Meanwhile, these are serious allegations against one of the world's most powerful corporations, and Mr. Patterson would have to be very foolish to make public accusations with little to back them up.
These accusations are worthy of investigation.
ExxonMobil should feel the same way.
Surely it is in the public interest that the Commission allow hearings on this issue.
