It's well knownthat I am not a great fan of Shell
. However, I don't much like the muscle and dirty practices that any of the oil majors use to cover up their mistakes and/or shady practices, especially when it comes to having people murdered or covering up environmental disasters caused by their own cost cutting or ineptitude.
It seems very surprising that there's very little in the news either in Nigeria or world news about Chevron's disaster on the KS Endeavout (possibly because it's a gas fire, so there's little sea pollution compared with the recent Bonga leak
). They seem to have been very lucky that only 2 people are unaccounted for so far, and the few injured are not in a critical condition.. The fire seems likely to be burning for some considerable time until a Baltic rig arrives on scene to drill a relief well.

Well done on the aviation side to all the personnel from Bristow, Caverton and PAAN who were involved in the search for survivors and recovering people to the shore, flying by day and night in Harmattan visibility
