One of the uncertainties I think for some of the companies that are thinking about going in there is who is in charge of the state run oil company pedvasa. Is the Trump administration pressuring the government there to change pedavasa's leadership? Penvisa was a highly professional, technically competent oil and gas company 30 years ago, and it hasn't been one for quite some time. So of course that'll be a subject of dialogue. And again, that's in America's best interest. That's in Venezuela's best interest to have professional, competent management of pedavesa. (05:45–05:57)
