You can't be serious! Sinopec has everything to gain from the demise of ERHC Energy. If they could pick us up for a song they would giggle all the way to the Great Wall!
Contrary to your view, there is no logical reason to think they would be forthcoming and help ERHC! *They* are on the hook for the costs. If they believe in the assets it only makes sense to drive ERHC out before developing them.
