Shell Pollutes Nigerian Delta Secretly For Years - The Awfull Truth

Conoco Phillips Paints A Rosey Picture With TV Adds - Do Your Homework And It's All Bad News

Conoco Phillips has been carpet bombing television airwaves claiming that their natural gas operations will save america, provide jobs, and reduce foreign oil dependence with "safe, clean gas."

If you do your homework it is easy to see that they are full of shit. When you google Conoco Phillips the news is overwhelmingly bad. It is full of lawsuits, spills, accidents, lay-offs, plant closures, safety, violations, environmental violations, and ethics violations.

Here are a few links to prove my point. I have highlighted the most revealing of their methods of operation in red italics.


Starting with the most recent article about a recently filed lawsuit about contaminated water caused by hydraulic fracturing for Natural Gas in Haynesville, January 20, 2012:

Lawsuit filed against Conoco Phillips for H2O contamination

Elaine P. McPherson, The Panola WatchmanLongview News-Journal

CLICK: ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Just under 90 people owning land or living in the Gary Tap/Shady Grove Community areas have filed a civil lawsuit in Panola County against ConocoPhillips Company asking for money for water quality damages to their property.
These residents and owners have property in the geographic strata known as the Haynesville Shale.

The plaintiffs also seek monetary relief in excess of $50,000, excluding costs, pre-judgements interest, and attorney’s fees. Accusations include that the defendants have: used fracking (hydraulic fracturing)--shooting chemical fluids underground, stored its drilling waste at sites and disposal wells near plaintiff’s property and have disposed of its fracturing waste near the properties. As a result of these actions, water well became contaminated, plaintiffs claimed that Conoco Phillips had been negligent, or intentional and unreasonable, or abnormal and out of place in its surroundings.


After plaintiffs previously gave notice to ConocoPhillips notice of the well water contamination caused by their drilling. As a result of the notice, Conoco Phillips began furnishing potable water to plaintiffs, but has now told plaintiffs they would not be receiving any more water from them.
Another accusation is that the defendants’ trespass, caused physical damage to plaintiff’s property and caused injury to right of possession. Neither could they drink from, nor use well water for washing or daily living activities.


The plaintiffs also contend that the defendant continued to use drilling-related activities causing contaminating petroleum byproducts to enter the well water. Defendants could have used reasonable alternative means of recovering the minerals. These acts, according to the lawsuit, constitute negligence and gross negligence that was a proximate cause of the occurrence, damages, injuries sustained by plaintiffs.

Damages of plaintiffs include--expense in testing the contaminated well water and buying water from alternative source, suffered loss of use of land and will continue into the future, suffered loss of market value, suffered loss of intrinsic value of well water into the future, suffered emotional harm and mental anguish from deprivation of enjoyment, loss of peace of mind, annoyance, inconvenience, and anxiety about the contaminated water. Plaintiffs seek permanent injunction against defendants precluding future drilling and fracking activities near plaintiff’s land.

The spill, which happened last year, saw almost 3,200 barrels of oil and fluids being leaked into the Bohai Bay. Groups of fishermen from the area had filed lawsuits demanding compensation for alleged loss of livelihood. The Penglai oil field is China's largest offshore facility. Conoco Phillps said in a statement that the compensation will be paid "to settle public and private claims of potentially affected fishermen in relevant Bohai Bay communities". 'Environmental stewardship' The two firms had come under severe criticism from local fishermen as well as environmental groups, which accused them to trying to initially cover up the spill. They had alleged that the companies had announced the spill almost a month after they had discovered the leaks. Both Conoco Phillps and CNOOC have denied those allegations. The US-based Conoco Phillps said that it would also set aside 100m yuan from a previously-announced environment fund to help improve fishery resources in the area. "Conoco Phillips (claims that it) is committed to delivering on environmental stewardship as a responsible corporate citizen in China and around the world." Wow !!  What a fucktastic company !! Spills, lawsuits, deaths, fires, plant closures, layoffs, price gouging, escalating investor profits, dis-information to children at a museum, and sprinkled with token philanthropic donations. It should be no suprise that this aledged clean natural gas company owns 50% of the Keystone Tar Sands Pipeline, only the dirtiest fuel oil known to man. It should also be no suprise that to avoid the carbon restrictions of domestic production that they would turn to importing more instead. Like a bully that got caught being bad, instead of being good they find something else bad to do.
