石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯7月6日消息，雪佛龙公司周四表示，阿根廷一家上诉法院驳回了执行厄瓜多尔对该公司95亿美元裁决的企图，这是该石油巨头在持续数十年的法律纠纷中取得最新胜利。
雪佛龙表示，布宜诺斯艾利斯上诉法院由三名法官组成的小组以无司法管辖权为由一致驳回了这一请求，并认定雪佛龙在阿根廷没有合法存在或资产，无法针对雪佛龙阿根廷公司或当地其他间接部门执行上述裁决，因为它们均是与该案无关的单独法律实体。
这场法律纠纷始于1993年，当时，一群厄瓜多尔原告方起诉德士古公司称，其石油钻探行为造成污染，令亚马逊雨林村民患病。2001年雪佛龙收购德士古公司后便承担了该诉讼义务。
一家厄瓜多尔法院裁决雪佛兰向原告方赔偿190亿美元，后来该金额被缩减至95亿美元。然而，一家美国地区法院2014年判定，上述裁决是通过欺诈和腐败方式获得，随后，曼哈顿联邦上诉法院维持了美国地区法院的判决。

Chevron Says Argentine Appeals Court Rejects Ecuadorian Judgment Chevron Corp. (CVX) on Thursday said an appeals court in Argentina has rejected an attempt to enforce a $9.5 billion Ecuadorian judgment against the company, the latest win for the oil giant in a legal dispute that has lasted decades. Chevron said a three-judge panel from the Chamber of Appeals in Buenos Aires unanimously dismissed the action for lack of jurisdiction, concluding that Chevron has no legal presence or assets in Argentina and that the judgment can’t be enforced against Chevron Argentina SRL and other indirect local units because they are separate legal entities with no connection to the case. The legal saga began in 1993, when a group of Ecuadorean plaintiffs sued Texaco Inc., arguing that Texaco’s oil drilling caused pollution that sickened villagers in the Amazon rain forest. Chevron inherited the lawsuit when it acquired Texaco in 2001. A court in Ecuador awarded a $19 billion judgment–later scaled back to $9.5 billion–to the plaintiffs. However, a U.S. district judge in 2014 found that judgment was obtained through fraud and corruption, a finding that was later upheld by a federal appeals court in Manhattan.
