if the trend continues for several sessions it would be a clue as to the other numerous rumors we have heard for months and months. i was of the opinion a pre-drill buyout was not really on the table...were there probes at some low number, probably.
however i do feel, based on much of the same reasoning put forth by some, that post drill analysis (which should be nearing completion) and eez block selection done a buyer or major partner will surface.
snp will win ultimately but let us hope several suitors appear to keep the bidding moving higher.
