You know that oil spill response plan that Cairn has been refusing to publish? The one that tens of thousands of you asked to see? The one we went to the Arctic and to Cairn's Edinburgh HQ to look for? The one they were so worried we'd found, they slapped a legal interdict on us to prevent us from publishing it?

Reacting to the news that the cowboy Scottish oil company Cairn Energy has abandoned a well having once again failed to find oil in Greenland, Greenpeace campaigner Ben Ayliffe said: 

“Cairn Energy took a multi-million dollar gamble with the fragile Arctic environment and came up with nothing. This should be a lesson to other oil companies like Shell who are eyeing up new ventures among the ice bergs in the far North. What was already an unattractive investment now looks even riskier.”

BREAKING: Cairn obtains legal interdict: ‘Twitter ban’ and 'gagging order' for Greenpeace

Update: Read the interdict in full. 

In its latest move to cover up the truth about its Arctic drilling, Cairn Energy has obtained an extraordinary, wide-ranging legal interdict (injunction) against us, gagging us from posting Tweets and Facebook updates containing photos of yesterday's occupation of their Edinburgh headquarters.

It's been a long day but, around 12 hours after our intrepid Polar bears occupied Cairn Energy's HQ, the last of them has now been removed by police. Around 20 people have been arrested in all, and most of them remain in custody here in Edinburgh.

A message to the oil industry: what spill response?

Posted by bex — 29 June 2011 at 12:13pm - Comments

Last week, the oil industry was in London. The World National Oil Companies Congress - sponsored by the likes of Chevron, Total and Statoil and addressed by BP's Bob Dudley - "brings together the most senior executives from NOCs [National Oil Companies]" to discuss, among other things, how to "overcome deepwater challenges" and "benefit from shale and unconventional opportunities".
