because of the Santos' Barossa loss on appeal, stakeholder consultations for all new oil and gas projects must be expanded. They now must include all possibly impacted groups as per worst case scenario in the EIA. This means months more work for EMP (and all O&G project developers).

I am 98.7635% certain this gets drilled. $5m is the buy of a lifetime.
