They were not looking to "pass" all along. They were looking to grab a guaranteed operatorship while not having made a bid, via a deal with Anadarko. JDA would not guarantee them anything(an operatorship), so they bailed. It was a business move on XOM part. They tried to make a play, couldn't, so they chose not to choose this round. ERHE and partners look like the benefactors of XOM's failed play.
