rogues contacts say its the jv, page-10

Also, if they do announce a JV, the interesting aspect will be exactly what the timing will be for actual drilling.

ie what if they say that the next step will be additional seismic and then likely drilling in mid to late 2007? RRSO would be in a spot of bother.

Don't forget the Hardman & Shell JV that fell over in Mauritania prior to Woodside becoming involved.

Sorry just being the' Devils Advocate'.

Anyway I'm holding - so hopefully everything goes to plan.
