And if I was a bidder that had complied with the process all along and submitted a "final" bid by the Feb 28 deadline, I would have a real problem with someone else coming along and being allowed to sign a CA at this point. IOC would be open to withdrawn bids and possible lawsuits. Plus with all the other rumors regarding Petromin and Shell, why would IOC allow it as well as Oneill? Doesn't make sense.
Well, like I said, lot's of 'if's' and 'but's'..
