AziNam brings vast G&G experience and a profound regional understanding to the partnership, as well as the ability to finance its portion of the exploration program. We welcome AziNam's decision to increase its working interest in the Guy Block by 10% and to carry NAMCOR on that working interest portion. The Transaction enables us to reduce our financial risk and embark with the 3D seismic program as planned. Eco Atlantic's recent farmout initiatives, including the recently disclosed transaction with Tullow in which our financial costs on the Cooper Block are now fully carried, reflects Eco Atlantic's strategy of reducing financial exposure by attracting experienced, high quality industry partners. Our technical team is currently working on the logistics for the Guy and Cooper blocks and defining a plan for the Sharon Block in the upcoming weeks."
