repsol, page-2

I am sure our partner will be Repsol. They are the only company that fits Jurgens descriptions.....unless he's very loose with his definitions!I think the delay has been more about the holiday season than any internal conflict at Repsol.
Out of all the majors that are not active in Australia and are noted for their independence, size, reputation and tremendous brand, Repsol is the only one that fits.
As George W says, you're either with me on this or you're against me. I am not one to say i told you so but i will feel compelled to gloat about my prophesy being fulfilled, and all you infidels will sign my sorry book.


Petrobras would be a candidate but the state is the majority holder at 32% so is not independant.

Marathon oil calling itself a major is stretching things a bit, and it is certainly not a tremendous brand, even in the USA.

Statoil state controlled so no deal.

Rant over......nurse!
