Chevron Wins $220M from Ecuador in 30-Year Dispute
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Ecuador and Chevron celebrate a recent European court ruling, ordering Ecuador to pay Chevron $220 million, settling a 30-year legal dispute. Ecuadors Attorney Generals Office expresses disappointment, as this ruling prevents them from paying over $3.13 billion in an international arbitration case. The new decision significantly reduces a previous judgment from 2018, which ordered Ecuador to pay $3.35 billion. The long legal battle began in 1993, when indigenous people and farmers sued Texaco, later acquired by Chevron, for polluting the Ecuadorian Amazon with hazardous waste during oil extraction operations.
