Hi there please see Geoff's earlier answer: On EMS, as our initial interpretation was oil, then to initially bring this on would require downhole pump, basic separation, chemical power generation, storage tank, and road tanker loading facilities. Depending on crude quality, we would ship oil by tanker to a processing centre at ELM or Maria Ines for treatment. For a simple initial development like that we could probably put something in place in 6 - 9 months from a definitively positive test. On ELM, it is quite close to the ELM processing facility - couple of kilometres - so this is simply a pipeline purchase and lay; that's about 3 - 6 months from a definitively positive test. I can't give costs here today, but as soon as we have something to develop we'll let the market know those along with more precise timelines.

If EMS-1001 is commercial then we would certainly look at the potential to appraise the significance of any discovery as soon as practicable.
