BHP is a little different beast, I've seen that company make some odd moves in the oil industry as well, spilling money into projects that are
seemingly worthless or overrated, just to abandon them or sell them off before real production begins. I'm not sure if it's just an eccentric way of
doing business or what. They are into oil too but not at nearly the level that Shell/Chevron/Exxon/BP, they do much more in mining. I can tell you one
thing that I'm fairly certain on, the beasts in the oil market are more voracious and calculated. When they sniff out oil they will go for it,
there's no dumping millions into research just to pull out. It will be a feeding frenzy once the first well draws blood. I'm speaking from
experience that I've gained in working for and dealing with oil & gas companies. They certainly are not BHP. I admit that I'm not sure of the
policies about drilling in Austrailia or the current status of drilling so I'll do some research in the near future and report my findings. I won't
even bother to reiterate how much Austrailia WILL NOT be invaded militarily, but it seems to be a common answer, I have yet to see anyone provide any
foundation for it though.
