Stay the course, that's true unless you consider that Addax's team has Jeff Schull, who was the kingpin of drilling for Chevron. I think he is capable enough to pull this off without the assistance from Chevron or Exxon.
Course, money talks, but maybe not loud enough for Sinopec.
I think all we need concern ourselves with in the present time frame is getting the drilling done !! Expertise in developing oil fields is the least of our concerns at the moment !!!
Glad its down to "skeptical" now instead of P & A'ed. My guess is that will soon change and you'll be wiping black feathers from your chin :o)
Are you thinking ERHC'll be around to see a consortium like you are postulating involving two or all CVX/XOM/SNP??? The oilygrams and dottigrams are saying no.....but then again, they're a very small minority on the ERHE/JDZ stock boards.
