To investors, ConocoPhillips' acquisition of Burlington Resources cemented its standing among the world's largest oil companies. For the people living in the remote interior of Peru, the move made it just the latest trespasser in their backyard. Leaders from the Peruvian indigenous community visited Houston last week to tell company officials [from ConocoPhillips] face to face they weren't welcome in the heavily forested regions they call home. Citing decades of turmoil and environmental damage caused by other companies, the Peruvians encouraged the company to follow the example of Los Angeles-based Occidental Petroleum, which said earlier this month it would give up its oil concessions in the region after more than 30 years...Bill Tanner, director of external affairs for ConocoPhillips and one of three company officials to meet with the Peruvians, said the company would take their concerns into consideration. "We're still talking to all the stakeholders in that area and were pleased to have the opportunity to meet on issues of mutual interest," Tanner said.
