I suspect it not only depends on Wes.

All the other companies with the governments need to be on side. If there are just a few holdouts, and there could be some that are not nor intended to do any exploratory work this year, so to them there may not be any urgency and they could be holding out for better terms.

The natives are not likely to dismantle the blockade if all the pieces are not with them.

So due to a few all could suffer, including the natives ( time is money).
