If I remember correctly, XOM is currently building two trains and has plans for adding trains 3 and 4, given enough gas. I doubt they have enough pipeline capacity to go to 8 trains, in which case another plant in the Gulf would make plenty of sense costwise, especially given the amount of gas likely available there and the Mitsui CSP plans available, not to mention the political pressure to build in the Gulf province.
Everyone should also keep in mind the current locations for the CSPs are best, and would probably fit into any bidder's plans, with Mitsui's detailed FEED complete at significant cost and ready for FID on that part of the project, unless they end up adding some for temporary re-injection.
