PM, ECO has great relationship with their partners ,esp TLW. Total sold their interest to Qatar for "you scratch my back and I will scratch yours" type of deal for a different asset. TLW wants to prove to their shareholders that the company is holding SH value by finding a truly transformational find for years to come which would keep BHs and financiers happy. In that interest, my opinion is that they would strike a deal with ECO for the remaining 15% to get additional exposure, just like Exxon with Liza, to fully develop and bring in monetary gains for years to come.
I agree majors would want to explore other fields to see extent, hence we would see Joe drilled. Like Gil said they have more than 12 identified high target zones. TLW will drill and tap as much as they can in the next 12months and tie to back to Jehtro-1. I see ECO selling Guyana to TLW for handsome price to focus on Namibia. Gil has made it clear once again that ECO believes Namibia could be the next Guyana type of find - this is also supported by majors already there and taking bigger position as we speak.
