The resource has more proven out today than in the past and a massive campaign to prove out more is underway. You judge IOC on what Phil tried to do and promised. The people making unfulfilled promises are GONE! To drive home my point get a management list from 7 years ago See who was in what slot 7 years ago and whose there now. When you do that you will see Wayne is the Lone Ranger left. Further compare resumes of whose left and today with who has extensive LNG experience. More important we are weeks away from the signing of a Super Major with deep pockets . This is NOT your Mothers IOC. Please embrace the changes for what they are and can be. The players have changed and well different people do different things. Some look back and moan and others look forward and see what can and will be. Your call.
I've been out of communication for the last week JFT and am trying to catch up and saw your post about unfulfilling promisers. Did I miss the posting that Hession came through on his promise to deliver in January those independent interests that were a precondition to the agreement with Total? I did see that Hession has moved a couple more guys into top management spots. Looks to me like Woodside is taking IOC over from the inside but haven't yet run into the board's discussion of those changes. Leaves me wondering what surprises they have in store for us. Curious that the guy running IOC's unbelieveably effective PR machine is the last guy standing, isn't it?
As to the "massive campaign" for new drilling I've yet to see any new spudding announcements or rig contracts and it's already the 26th. Maybe I've missed those too.
Maybe it's time for you to stop your incessant promotion of imagination as reality. I'll offer my apologies now, ahead of time, if I'm off base.
Best regards,
