After the underwater oil leaks in Brazil in 2011, Chevron offered to settle with the Brazilian government for $150 million, an amount that Watson says "seemed commensurate with what transpired". Yet, Chevron still faces $20 billion in civil suits there.
Now Watson, CHEVRON CEO,  wants to drill MORE off the US coast saying: "By rough estimates, America has vast amounts of oil and natural gas in the Outer Continental Shelf – and an estimated 30 billion barrels of it are currently unavailable for development. We know that our methods of extracting it are the safest, most environmentally sound methods in existence."
