This is most recent and reliable summary of Chevron's recent oil spill in its $3bn Frade Field...off Rio's coast.
Brasil is re-learning that its much desired and extensive oil exploration has consequences... with even bigger challenges ahead in the very deep waters of its expansive subsalt field.
New info: at 3,800 ft...the Frade Field is not even at the much hyped subsalt depths.
Chevron has been fined $80mn so far...with the spill area treated like a crime scene.
Chevron must cease all work until the probe is concluded.
