SAN RAMON, Calif., March 19 (UPI) -- Chevron said it hasn't been informed that judicial action was pending in Brazil following an oil spill off the country's coast.
U.S. supermajor Chevron announced last week it identified "a small new seep" from the Frade oil field off the coast of Brazil. In November, the Brazilian government announced plans to impose a $27.7 million fine on Chevron for a 2,400-barrel oil spill at the oil field.
