Frogster: Yes, WHY NOT: Let's speculate a bit on potential farm-in partners.
But firstly, let me state that I am pleased (or rather relieved) to think (hopefully correctly) that the upcoming ann. will IN FACT be mentioning a farm-in partner. I would not mind a fairly strong dilution of WHN's percentage holding IF the farm-in company would carry WHN 'free-carried' for several (say, 3 or 4) drills. This would reduce risk for WHN a lot. And as the targets are BIG, even a much smaller holding (percentage-wise) would/will still be very beneficial (in case of drilling success).
NOW: Who will the likely partner be??
I believe that both SHELL and TOTAL that you, Frogster, do mention would make very good candidates indeed.
My "dark horses" suggestions: A company from either INDIA or CHINA perhaps - Seychelles geographical location is leading me to "lean" that way... Anyhow, we are just purely having speculative thoughts here.
Fingers crossed for a good/great announcement early next week.
All the best to all WHN longs. Enjoy the weekend ahead.
