from gas flaring had failed to be declared by major Western oil and gas companies working in Iraq. In its report, it named BP, Eni, ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Shell as companies that are contributing to the egregious level of pollution in the area.
In response, Italian energy giant Eni said it “strongly rejects any allegation that its own activities are endangering the health of the Iraqi people.” Despite such vehement protestations, the truth is fairly easy to determine.
