RE: oilex19 Feb 2021 15:27
GSPC expected Oilex to default out of the JV at the end of the first 10 years licence so made things hard as they were going bankrupt (GSPC) and the JV had not succeeded in making money yet. But to GSPCs shock Oilex got another 10 year licence and took them to court under a default under the JV, which was inconclusive,. So they went to binding arbitration, which was stopped when due in no small part by India political pressure on GSPC to sell. Which they tried too, under best endeavours within 90 days, but they dragged their heals and then COIVD-19 came along delaying everything and all their proceedable buyers have gone from the tender except Oilex. Which was the default buyer.. They must sell to Oilex or retender and quiet frankly they will crucified in court if they don't sell to Oilex.
This my take on what happened.
