silence is golden, page-20

Dear Lukentel,

Petrobras' Davidovich did say of their total investment, $15.9 billion would go for the international business and 20 percent of investment in international business would go for new business, including Asia Pacific.

THAT SUGGESTS OVER $3 BILLION IN OUR REGION, INCLUDING AUSTRALIA

Presumably (IMO), they are not interested in spending on minor plays.

It makes your take-over hypothetical not out the question.
