I can tell you now that BOW will not sell once joule of gas before it is taken over.
If Arrow is getting overtures, then BOW has no chance of going it alone. It will be swallowed whole and before 2010 is out IMO. Its just too good not to be and too small to fight it off.
IIRC, QGC were also talking up their production plans but in reality, they knew what would eventuate.
