ConocoPhillips said it would pay 1 billion yuan ($158 million) to settle compensation claims arising from the oil leaks from its Penglai 19-3 oilfield in Bohai Bay in June 2011, Beijing News reported.

ConocoPhillips, China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC), the Ministry of Agriculture and the governments of Hebei and Liaoning, the two provinces most affected by the environmental disaster, have reached an agreement on the compensation claims. The Hebei and Liaoning provincial governments will distribute the compensation among affected fishermen.

Zhao Jingwei, the lawyer representing 107 fishermen from Hebei who filed a lawsuit against ConocoPhillips China in December 2011, said he is worried that the fishermen might not get proper compensation, and he will not give up prosecution.

据《新京报》报道,康菲公司同意就去年6月的渤海湾蓬莱19-3油田漏油事故支付赔偿金10亿元(1.58亿美元)。

康菲公司﹑中海油总公司﹑农业部,以及受影响最大的河北辽宁两省政府已就赔偿事宜达成一致。河北辽宁两省政府将把赔偿金分发给受灾渔民。

去年12月,赵京慰律师代理107位河北渔民向康菲石油公司索赔。如今,他担心渔民可能得不到应有的补偿,他表示,不会放弃诉讼。
