NXS- Desire for production to balance the existing
appraisal and development pipeline (Longtom production late
2008, Crux production 2010, Echuca Shoals ~2015).
Potential synergies between Basker-Manta-Gummy and
Longtom gas development. Financial capacity and stated
acquisition interest following Viking participation.
AWE-BMG may qualify as a “cornerstone”
asset, given long gas project life, although exploration
potential is perhaps limited. Relationship with Mitsui provides
financial support.
Roc-Australian exposure would balance country risk
associated with China / Africa, and fill production gap if
decide to divest Chinquetti.
