BigBear, the permit regime was well spelt out in the original rns 12/15/16. The current phase runs 24 months from award.
At that point, which is drawing near, either EME agrees to enter 'phase II' , which requires a drill, or drops the permit.
Thus, EME will either have found a funding partner in the next few months, or raised the drill cost $40~60m, or will drop the permit and CNOOC will say 'thanks for the data chaps'.
Suggest you read the original permit award rns as much nonsense is sprouted here - the SP will not respond much either way until the above points are addressed imho.
