RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Refinancing I think this unit was on OBEs back burner list.
WCP apparently wants to drill it out and has the expertise to do so.
OBE probably got an offer from WCP to sell their share that they felt was too low given their view of future oil prices.
The alternative would seem clear - hand over operating control to WCP and pay their share of future development.
OBE gets their share of increased production. OBE can now afford to pay for development. OBE can focus on their core area and delegate this unit to WCP
Sounds like Win Win to me
