Josef Schachter: We’re talking about Putumayo [Technical Difficulty] the CYC discovery?

One other things that Sebastien and the team are looking at on Costayaco, we’ve got some very good results with our reservoir modeling and targeting unswept areas. That’s what’s outperforming at Costayaco in the north. We have another area in the southern part of the reservoir along strike that we’re going to try to target this year. So we’re — that’s why we’re excited about Costayaco.

Josef Schachter: Okay, good. One last one for me. With the flow in the moderate [Technical Difficulty] in the past you’ve talked about maybe you talked about maybe new area in Minot [Technical Difficulty] analyze everything and get it right briefing. Have you had any thought for here that you had the new app [Technical Difficulty] company?

Gary Guidry: Yeah. The answer to that is that we are always looking for opportunity. We don’t see anything specific at the moment, but our business development initiatives are all long-term.

We are looking at a working capital facility which coincided better with the business and some of the ebbs and flows of our cash outflows and inflows.
