Scottish oil company obtains legal
injunction apparently aimed at preventing publication of secret oil spill plans; legal order demands recall of polar bear pictures

The controversial Scottish oil company who are spearheading a new Arctic oil rush last night obtained an interdict (injunction) against Greenpeace. This wide-ranging ‘gagging order’ requires Tweets and Facebook updates from the environmentalists be redacted, and is apparently aimed at preventing the publication of their secret Arctic oil spill response plan.

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".

Greenland, 4 June 2011 – Eighteen Greenpeace activists have scaled a controversial Arctic oil rig 180km off the Greenland coast. They braved freezing seas to climb the huge legs of the rig then formed an orderly delegation that made its way to the drill manager's cabin to demand a copy of the rig's Oil Spill Response Plan.
