Re: Plans to Open Up Bidding on 19 Petroleum Concessions
Do you remember when they wanted to do offshore drilling earlier this year with Chevron? Chevron was geared up to seriously helping Cambodia but it fell apart very quickly. They refuse to learn how to conduct business like a grown up not like a belt seller at central market.
