I can see your point T23, however the Austbrokers model is actually quite different (more a cooperative than a company). I think the point I was trying to make (not too well on rereading my past post) is that WES are actually not in such a great capital position at the moment and may be needing to divest of some of their better assets over the short- to medium-term: this could include OAMPS. As for Lumleys, I have a rather negative opinion of them: a case of all that shines is not gold.

Best regards
