JDZ block 1 is a consortium of Afren, CNOOC and Total. Per the post that I am responding to, Block 1 can be commercial due to existing infrastructure by Total...
...but clearly CNOOC, Afren and Total all get along just fine.
And with existing infrastructure nearby as you mentioned PLUS any new infrastructure due to Block 1 of the JDZ...then those two infrastructures combined can make other JDZ blocks even more commercial still.
Why should ERHE give up something in the JDZ for something in Kenya? They are two different animals.
For you to question ERHC's brightness is just an opinion. Please feel free to back up your opinion with a link.
