Kavo would kick and scream as he has been prone to do and likely that carries weight. Not so much his screaming but with the XOM project having problems yet again with LOs, and the gov't having promised that Gulf will be developed and Gulf LNG will be part of that (they've already given out development monies for different things in Kerema), it could cause big problems for the coalition govt. Again, this will be their call and all bidders have had to sumbit bids subject to those parameters. Seems to be more thought that developing 236 might lead to that Napa Napa site down the road.
Excellent points ! Based on your comments, the only way I see the LNG plant being "pulled" from the Gulf back to Port Moresby is if... (drumroll...) Exxon is the winning bidder !!! (not a high probability in my opinion).
