Whatever shell says can automatically be dismissed as a lie.

Source: I used to work on a survey ship right outside the niger delta roughly 10 years ago. Suddenly on day we were in the middle of an oil spill patch, and the onlyones in the area were us and a bunch of shell drilling rigs. Situations like that happened quite often.

@vettnerk yeah, the oil isn't just leaping out and polluting itself.

That's interesting that you have seen it first-hand.
