Anything is possible with the MEPS connection. If you look into MEPS, that`s part of what they do.

Some may think you`ve eaten too much peyote` as a young hippee, but there`s a connection.

OEL(Otto Energy Ltd,) has a JV with them through NAEL in the Phillipines regarding oil for example, recently BHP have entered a farm in option agreement with OEL too. Ultra Deep Water Rigs are MEPS` thing.

So, I reckon, with regards to the finance, listings JV`s etc, there is a play for ARO in there.
