Sellers, contractors and Namibian not-frackers

As Premier Oil is trying to rework its acquisition of North Sea assets from BP, what might Exxon make of such a state of affairs? There’s a list of companies bidding for Exxon’s assets, but the interminable renegotiations are probably best avoided. 

Mark managed to keep his eye off the birds in the opposite house (actual birds; he’s not a creep, just easily distracted) for long enough to talk through some of the North Sea’s collective bargaining plans. Some contractors are in, some are out, while some just shake it all about. 

Namibia is a lovely place for a honeymoon although it is probably not ideal for fracking. ReconAfrica is hoping to find a new sweet spot in the country’s north, but is facing concerns around environmental impacts.
