I really don't understand why some continue to throw Phil Mulacek under the bus. I suspect it is simply the need to scapegoat someone for the difficulty of making a deal as large as this in such trying circumstances.
My hope is that Dr. Mike won't dash your hopes. He may have made some pretty good deals over the past couple of years for his company, but lots of people seem to be bailing from Aussie projects lately. I hope his recent deals have not left him with a reputation where "partners" are finding themselves having bought pigs in pokes as opposed to a rep for negotiating "win wins".
We'll see. My guess continues to be the deal will involve gas going to PNG LNG and a new plant in the Gulf. Lots of cats to herd in those deals, whoever is in charge. But throwing the guy under the bus who put together the team that found this resource? That's just wrong.
