I dont see the drop in oil prices stopping the GCs efforts to get the gas from the sea, as its more pride (and pig-headedness) than anything else.
Whether it costs more to get to market than the price you get for it will be totally disregarded, until the time come to actually sell the stuff, and then they will wring their hands and blame the previous government.
With the continual improvement of the fracking process, especially in the USA, the GCs would be better-off leaving it where it is.
