Was this in Libya or was that from PNG years ago when Shell pulled out. And now they want back into PNG and have been willing to "pay the price" of re-entry. Shell seems to always want things their own way. "We're in". "Things are not so good here so we are now out." "We made a mistake by pulling out, so now we want back in and are willing to show how badly we want back in."
Shell should realize that these stories get out very quickly these days, and PNG should take heed and read this story and say, "No thanks Shell. You say you are in again, but not so fast my friend. Why don't you first actually invest in our country and help with our needs. You know, like Japan, S Korea and others. We need LT partners, not companies that are here today and gone tomorrow. Start small and build your reputation, then we will see how good of a partner you are."
Shell won't do it.
