Chevron Corp. said it won’t seek money damages against two Ecuadorians it sued in a New York racketeering case claiming the pair committed fraud to win a $19 billion verdict in a pollution case in their country.

The oil company also asked that the trial, set to begin next month in federal court in Manhattan, be held in two parts, one before a jury and a second before a judge.
