Pioneer Oil & Gas said a jury ordered it to pay Unocal Corp. $563,158 in damages in a drilling cleanup dispute. Pioneer said the jury in Santa Maria found it liable to Unocal for breach of contract and other violations. The verdict stemmed from a Unocal lawsuit demanding that Pioneer pay for cleanup and shutdown costs associated with a drilling site in the Santa Maria Valley. While the jury sided with Midvale, Utah-based Pioneer on some of its counterclaims against El Segundo-based Unocal, it found that Pioneer should pay the damages.
