Colombia
According to Eric Watkins of the Oil & Gas Journal:
- "In 2003, Alberto Galvis sought punitive damages from Occidental Petroleum for the deaths of his mother, a sister, and a cousin, who were among 18 civilians killed when a Colombian military helicopter dropped a bomb on a village near the Cano Limon Pipeline in an antiguerrilla operation.
- Occidental was named in the lawsuit because pilots of AirScan (a security firm Occidental used to protect its oil interests) mapped targets for the Colombian military.
- Occidental Petroleum denied any responsibility either for the bombing or for the deaths of the civilians"[2]
