Chevron quarterly profit disappoints as refining posts first loss in four years
(FILES) In this file photo taken on June 02, 2015 a picture shows the logo of US oil giant Chevron during the World Gas Conference exhibition in Paris. - Canada's Supreme Court on April 4, 2019, declined to hear an appeal from a group of Ecuadoran villagers seeking compensation from the Canadian subsidiary of US energy giant Chevron over oil pollution in the Amazon jungle. The indigenous villagers from central Ecuador want the company to pay for pollution of native lands between 1964 and 1992 by Texaco, a US oil subsidiary the firm bought in 2001. The decision, for which the court did not offer a reason, puts an end to the group's attempt to sue Chevron Canada Limited for $9.5 billion in compensation.
