I would be whistling Dixie if any of the picks 3-8 come to pass.
I am desperately hoping #4 comes to pass IF and I mean IF one of the companies in 3-8 do the drilling.
Even though China/India will offer the most money up front, I don't trust them to do any drilling with my money on the line. If they decide to do the drilling on their own I will more than likely sell and move on.
In my view it looks like CVX has the inside track with Addax. I also think that whoever buys Addax buys ERHC.
The U.S. isn't planning on developing STP so they can guard Indian/Chinese oil rigs. I fully expect an all out buying spree from the US once oil is proven in the JDZ.
On a lighter note.....
The Hawkeyes are looking good I have never seen a team get jobbed like OU did I predict the Irish to get beat 2 more times I'm trying to find a ticket for Ohio State/Michigan The SEC is one tough conference
