You should not discount that Exxon recommended to stop operations on Foldeak until the other partners decided to impose their perogative. So the group did not happily decide to do it together.
Exxon will take their time to decide and we cannot predict for sure that they will do so. The unpredicability of the moment is unbearable and I am not yet convinced that Falcon did not do their best to avoid our current situation. It is simply not in their hands.
