  • Exxon gas production has caused earthquakes in the Netherlands. source here and here. I am suggesting this in relation to the GA review that I have opened for ExxonMobil. I'm not sure whether this conflict will be notable enough to make it into that article, but I don't think we can bring that article to GA unless this article is reasonably complete (B).

  • In 2012, the Washington Post reported that Exxon was contributing to tensions in Iraq and fomenting civil war: ...leaders in Baghdad and the semiautonomous Kurdistan region are warning that they are close to civil war — one that could be triggered by Exxon Mobil. source also here.
They reported on it again in 2017: the deal [with Iraq] overseen by [Exxon CEO] Tillerson, whose confirmation hearings to become secretary of state begin Wednesday, defied U.S. foreign policy aims, placing the company’s financial interests above the American goal of creating a stable, cohesive Iraq. That quote is stated as fact in the WaPost editorial voice. This would go in the section about "Geopolitical influence", and should probably be mentioned in the top-level article Larataguera (talk) 16:46, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
