gkb47,
Good question !
I have not down the numbers , but it seems their share of kraken cost just over 200m. Also Paid in cash ....
1) Maybe cash was wanted ? Enquest don't have over 200m cash at present that is available to "write the cheque".
2) Maybe ENQ want to diversify interests and this would be the opposite to that strategy !
3) The GE deal is not concluded ,so again it is likely to be a little difficult to spend money until that is closed !
My thoughts why ENQ did not bid.
