These photos show some sites in oil block 1-AB visited by E-Tech International to evaluate the effectiveness of Pluspetrol’s cleanup of OXY’s legacy. Often the contamination is buried and not visible to the eye, but the absence of plants in the lush rainforest environment is a visual indication of the problems in the soil. E-Tech’s report found heavy metals, volatile organic compounds and hydrocarbons present at unsafe levels in many of the sites visited.
