| Subject: Thieving Venezuela failed to provide fair compensation for assets -Exxon Fri Oct 10, 2014 3:10 am | |
| A World Bank arbitration decision that Venezuela must pay Exxon Mobil Corp about $1.6 billion shows that the country "failed to provide fair compensation" for oil assets nationalized in 2007, Exxon said in a statement on Thursday. "Exxon Mobil recognizes the sovereignty of all nations and, while clearly not a desirable outcome, accepts Venezuela's legal right to expropriate the assets of our affiliates subject to compensation at fair market value," said the Irving, Texas-based company.
Exxon, the world's largest publicly traded oil company, said it held extensive discussions with Venezuela's state-run oil company PDVSA and the government but was unable to reach agreement on fair compensation.
