Exclusivity period13 Jun 2018 09:18
The length of the exclusivity period mainly depends on the BG approving the Environmental Authorisation. Without it, the exclusivity deal will lapse. However, the BG has approved the oil and gas refinery, which will need a lot of crude oil to refine. My guess is that the current discussions are all about money and who gets what in percentage terms. It's always about the money and the BG will be pushing for their share to benefit the Bahamas population. As an oil find will be very beneficial to the BG and it won't cost them a penny, they should be saying "Please get on with it and lower our colossal debt and make us popular for a future reelection". The SP will rise withcontinued news to support the momentum. I'm sure Simon Potter knows this.
