Robson, who has now passed, lived a lavish lifestyle and cooped monies that were of the super filthy rich lifestyle, yet it now has operations on the rise etc with constraints from geographical area.
With such a significant amount of money spent on the legals against FRR in the courts, some may argue this is simply not about just exploration at this time. Is Shah Deniz really on its own?!
The old era of FRR from Bill White to the persons within Georgia pre 2012 may not be so united as a result of the Russian Occupation and GD stranglehold.
Although the GOGC are invested one way or another i would think that a few of the Dinosaurs of the West will simply not let the fight for the passage through the Black Sea Shelf dissipate. I would imagine that nothing will surface until 2027, that is unless the lights are turned out prior. So this is more political than simply exploration IMO.
Sad that some of us may not see then end results pan out here.
