KEY EVENTS
Abu Dhabi quit an offer of $ 30 billion planned for Santos
A Consortium based on Abu Dhabi withdrew the offer to take over $ 30 billion in the Australian oil and gas manufacturer Santos.
The consortium, led by the investment company XRG, a tool for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, accused the “combination of factors için for heart change.
He said that there was a comprehensive assessment, but he decided not to continue after the necessary determination, and “affect the consortium’s assessment of the indicator proposal”.
XRG said:
The consortium has been prepared to make new long -term commitments to Australian energy production, which will provide significant benefits to local gas consumers and increase regional energy security.
As a strategic long -term investor, XRG is dedicated to monitoring opportunities in gas and LNG, chemicals and energy solutions and has a rich and deep pipeline for investment opportunities.
Santos, based in Adelaide, has activities in Australia, Eastern Timor, Papua New Guinea and the United States, and is a large supplier of liquefied natural gas in Australia and Asia.
According to the Australian Associated Press, the police accused a man with murder hours after the bones were found while looking for the remnants of a woman who lost more than 20 years ago.
The breakthrough in the cold case was late on Wednesday after the discovery of suspicious human remnants believed to be buried in the backyard of a house in Port Lincoln in South Australia, 39 -year -old Susan Goodwin.
The detectives arrested and accused 64 -year -old Port Lincoln with the murder of Goodwin, who was reported to be missing in July 2002.
Today, Port Lincoln will appear at the Magistrate Criminal Court.
An anthropologist from Forensic Science SA went to the town to verify whether the bones were human remains and to continue the excavations.
The police used special radar equipment to scan a property at the Pamir Court adjacent to Moona Crescent, where Susan Goodwin lived.
On Tuesday, Det Insp Andrew Macrae said that Sus Susan’s family spent the last 23 years without answering.
Goodwin was last seen on July 19, 2002 after shopping at Coles and Woolworths in Port Lincoln.
In 2017, the police said that a public application for information led to the cleansing of seven attention by the investigation.
A prize is presented up to 200,000 dollars for the information that led to the conviction of Mrs. Goodwin’s murderer and/or remains.
