If the market wakes up and gives BRU the respect it deserves, then it might be able to ride the elephant for a few more years.
Woodside wasn't always such a big company.
But you are quite right, both BRU and NSE hold acreage the size of the Cooper basin's most prospective zones. That is enormous.
One presentation showed a map of Texas next to the Canning Basin. It really does put it into perspective. The place is HUGE and it is seemingly full of hyrdocarbons.
No way will either of these companies survive on their own. Too juicy.
