Wilf Gobert, a Calgary-based energy analyst, told Canadian Press that PetroKazakhstan may still be able to salvage the situation. \"The company usually ends up taking these things to the Supreme Court,\" he said. \"And ultimately they end up having the charges thrown out or substantially reduced.\" (Reuters)
