Woodside May Consider Buying InterOil or PNG Stake: Macquarie

[sydbod]

You may be correct Palm,
But if I may demonstrate more clearly what I mean:
12 Apr 2013 http://www.businessspectator.com.au/news...ng-project "Woodside proposes Canadian LNG project"
18 Jan 2014 http://www.smh.com.au/business/woodside-...310gy.html "Woodside seals LNG export deal with British Columbia government"

It may be more than just "might", "possibly", "potential" "future possibilities" "could", etc etc. But you are correct that by my demanded standards for information, I do expect Woodside to provide a written confirmation about this project before I will accept it as a confirmed project.

If Woodside does sign this deal, then we can with certainty forget Woodside as a possible buyer of IOC or its assets.

Not so fast sydbod. This is a deal that has been signed over a year ago over the offshore Leviathan fields for 2.3 billion dollars. What has changed in this deal is that the owners of the field have proved UP their resource and woodside may have to pay more money for it. Not 3 billion more. Something on the order of around 700 million more.

I do know that cybersssss. I have always been arguing that Woodside would be unlikely to be interested in IOC as a take over target.

I did not mention that deal in my previous posts in this thread because there was so much negative media about this deal falling through.

The point of that link was to show that this Leviathan deal had not gone away, but now looks to be ratified any day, and should/when it happens then Woodside has the project there to sink its surplus finances into, rather than look for other areas like IOC takeover to spend surplus finances on.

One way to look at this would be to consider all the Woodside Senior execs leaving Woodside and joining Interoil. Why is that?? They must perceive more growth with Interoil. Woodside knows these execs and an acquisition even using their stock would be accretive to Woodside investors. But odds of that happening a Woodside buyout seem quite remote at this time.

And then there's the Trojan horse hypothesis.

BTW, a woody that lasts over four hours demands the Dr.'s attention.  Just how long has this one lasted?

Thanks funny Art, thanks for the laugh.I am one that is giving the Woodside bunch the stink eye. Seems to me that there would be some restrictions in place by Woodside to prevent multiple execs from joining the same company in the same region with the same products. Maybe things work differently in than part of the world that anywhere else and nobody cares. Also think that IOC would limit regardless of Hession bringing on "his team". Either way, does not pass the smell test with me based on my experience.
