The Chevron oil company is facing an $10 billion lawsuit over a spill of about 3,000 barrels of crude oil.

While Chevron has claimed it acted quickly to contain the massive oil spill which occurred off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil has said the company is responsible for breaching its environmental licence by responding slowly and lacking the correct equipment to tackle the disaster.

Chevron has already been fined $28 million by the Brazilian environmental watchdog for causing the spill.

All drilling operations of Chevron and its contractors have been suspended in the country.

The spill happened at a well in the Frade oil project, 370 kilometres off the Brazilian coast where billions of barrels of oil are amassed in deep water.
