Chinese abandon bid for WestSide - The Australian - With the Wall Street Journal

Posted - may 15, 2013 - Matt Chambers -  The Australian - 

CHINESE oil giant PetroChina has walked away from a $185 million bid for Queensland coal-seam gas company WestSide Corporation as high construction costs and increased environmental hurdles reduce the appeal of Australian projects.
The Chinese company, which has three Australian LNG projects yet to be approved, told WestSide its non-binding offer, which was lodged in November, had been withdrawn "because the general situation in Australia has changed so much".
