How can this be classed as a negative on the results of the well, as
the divestment won't take place until well after the results of HW are
known. All it will mean is that if the well is successful COE will be
able to expect a premium price for its' interest. They have divested
other interests in keeping with their desire to operate closer to home.

I consider their decision irrelevant to the success or otherwise of HW.
