Good find. This article is a pretty slick PR move imo.

Imagine it from the perspective of a Uruguayan who has little prior knowledge of PRL and their projects. Name dropping the gov, gov bodies and vice pres no less would add weight to PRL's profile and the perception of gov support can convey a sense of credibility. Quoting money spent and increasing our share to 62% reads as commitment to the program. Looking for funding cause we broke is framed as simply taking the 'advice of Euro-Latin Capital' and 'looking for a partner for the long-term project'. Conceding that they have not been clearly explaining their intentions in Uruguay makes Casey seem willing to listen and take community concerns on board. Perhaps up until now the public commentary on the drill program has been largely via enviro nazis which skews the debate. Similar to what we've seen in Oz with Adani. As soon as a bank or company even looks like they're thinking about doing business with Gautam there are calls for consumer boycotts and that's been a powerful enough motive for our 'big 4' to take the initiative to completely distance themselves from funding Carmichael. In a similar way anyone considering joining this project might think they'll have to face misinformed backlash. At any rate throw in 'confirmed existence of hydrocarbons' and a nice pic for proof and you're done.

DC is making friends in high places and they won't take it kindly if he causes them any embarrassment. Curious to see how this plays out.
