IMO
The deal will take as long as it takes:
Oil majors and Macquarie are top negotiators and can play hard ball.
If we assume a mid point potential of 14 billion barrels (1/2 of max 28billion - Moyes) and $30 profit per barrel (most pros estimate $40 extraction costs including Shell).
Then each 1% of negotiated deal is worth $4,200,000,000.
Worth spending a bit of negotiating time @ $250,000 per Month?
