In this one he compares IOC to Bre-X and says that just because IOC has done certain things that Bre-X did, that it must be a scam. He says, for instance, that Shell etc have not inspected the wells so the resources are very suspect. So he totally discounts on-site testing and verification by Weatherford and Schlumberger? Oooops. He also assumes that Mitsui, and all bidders are idiots after looking at all of the data and the work by GLJ, GK and KR. And the government of PNG must also be in on the scam. And of course OSH, XOM, Total, Talisman. Another classic is his statement that IOC had no reason to make its end of January announcement that final bids are due by Feb 28th. That's good. So once teh final questions as to the Ant structure have been answered and the government is pushing for this process to come to a conclusion, there is no reason to publicly announce the closing of the bidding process? AG outdoes himself again.

This article is of course the only fraud here. Bre-X was a Company that got caught salting core samples from a gold prospect with gold to fool the third party assayers. I think someone (Tree/Palm) with a link to the video of the 705 MMCFD test at Antelope-2 should post it in the comments section of this SA article with the question: How do you salt a gas reservoir with enough gas to allow it to produce at a rate of 705 MMCFD and make a roar like this? Turn on your speakers and watch this!

It's done Pet.  Good idea!  Video uploaded by collinvis - any idea who in the world that could be!!  hahahaha

It takes SA so long to put up a post. I didn't see yours over there so I joined and put it over there. Now I see your message, one from STP and mine. Maybe they will enjoy the video. Sorry for the duplication.

I don't think the flare rate shown in the video is quite as impressive as that shown on this pic, which appears at least 50% longer.  You'll note in the start of the video the spray cooling system was still starting up.
