As government continues to defend the choice of the less-than-one-year-old Fulcrum LNG Inc for a possibly lucrative gas development deal, more questions are being raised about the evaluation process as some very experienced companies failed to get the nod.

It raises concerns that ExxonMobil may have undue influence on matters related to the utilization of non-associated gas from its offshore wells.
