RE:RE:Realistic timeframe Gil has skills without doubt. That is the reason I've held for years. With the market as it stands that will be the determining factor.
Does he have the relationships and acumen to pull off a "company maker"?, I think so.
With two recent transactions one (related party) in AOI I don't see much upside, unless Total states they found 10+billion barrels.
Where I would be truly impressed is if he can get a farmout on one of our Namibian Blocks.
Ultimately, assuming things work out, given the limited players in the game. A merger with AOI seems inevitable. What that looks like, time will tell
