I am happy for the tree to grow for some time yet. But I suspect that won't happen.

Looking at AOE and the Shell/Petrochina takeover, it was 11 February that AOE announced it was buying LNG out of the Fisherman?s landing site and LNG project and pushing ahead. This was the challenge to Shell that most believe lead to the takeover. The takeover move came on 8 March ... less than 4 weeks later ............ ???

I know ESG is not as far advanced as a company as AOE but it has now been in a ?partnership? with STO for well over a year and no deals have been done between them, and ESG is pushing ahead alone with its LNG project ... .. so there are some parallels.
