Here is a typical process we can expect in the next two years. As you can see Vz puts up as many roadblocks as they can to stretch out the process as long as they can. It is the same scenario with exxonmobil and conanoco (???) with all the claims, counter-claims followed by counter-claims.. Obviously there is an end to it all but look for it to be drawnout purposely.

The above chronology is between venezuela and goldfields. and there is no conclusion yet as it is still pending.
