All things are possible. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it. :)

With so many cards to play, there are a number of ways ERHC (SEO) could cut the deck. Still seems ERHC is in the catbird seat. - Longtimer

It's possible but I don't think anyone wants to get in a bidding war with the Chinese, not even the MAJORS.

A bidding war is always a possiblity. A few months ago about 50 companies expressed some interest in Kosmos's stake in the Jubilee field.

This week Total,the operator of nearby Akpo, stated they were commiting $20 billion to securing Nigerian oil assets. The Indians also publicly stated they were actively seeking hydrocarbon resources.

IMO The only way Sinopec can avoid multiple suitors is to make an offer above the market price or offer such an attractive combination of cash, stock and incentives the other companies will be unable to compete. An offer too good to refuse. LOL, Farrell
