What was Boustead Rational for Acquisition?

Boustead was one of my favorite stocks. Recently, Boustead announced the plan to acquire an energy asset in Indonesia. That was a piece of excellent news to me as I can see that the management is looking for ways to further expand and strengthen its businesses, given the weak crude oil prices right now which has affected its core businesses. This is how a company with excellent management like Boustead look for means and ways out of the current problem.
However, on 24th December, Boustead announced that PT Enso Asia has beaten the consortium (Boustead, One North Energy Private Limited and Lamara Energy Private Limited) to win the acquisition of Pase Production Sharing Contract (Pase PSC) in Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia. Pase PSC is owned by ASX-listed Triangle Energy (Global) Ltd.
The proposal for acquisition was announced way back on 9th November by Boustead.
