The vessel in question, the Bright Artemis, had taken on crude oil in both Oman and Saudi Arabia prior to this incident.
In 2004, Halliburton was awarded the chief contract ($400-500M)in Oman for oil exploration and drilling, so it is a safe bet that the oil that has spilled was a result of Hallibuton's activities in Oman. VP Dick Cheney continues to hold 433,333 Halliburton stock options. Cheney told "Meet the Press" in 2003 that he didn't have any financial ties to the firm. "Since I left Halliburton to become George Bush's vice president, I've severed all my ties with the company, gotten rid of all my financial interest," the Vice President said. "I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven't had, now, for over three years." In addition, Cheney continues to received a deferred salary from the company. According to financial disclosure forms, he was paid $205,298 in 2001; $162,392 in 2002; $178,437 in 2003; and $194,852 in 2004.
