dispute (something to think about)

For some time now the jv have said : Close to signing a deal on the gas.:....I cant stop thinking that this is part of the outcome on the payment to Mauritania for the dispute...As we well know Stirling used the back door to get some piece of the pie and BG didnt come in for the fishing...Woodside dont need the gas but the bottom line is big dollars are in the ground and thats why it will be done soon....Shareholders demand that there value go up and the only way to do this is to increase your profits....Just my comments...Time will tell if fact.
