So, yeah, tell us a little about what you experienced there, please, Archie.
1:12
Yeah, so...
1:14
I think overall I had a good time.
1:16
It was definitely a well attended event.
1:19
I would say in the thousands.
1:20
I don't know off the top of my head, but definitely well intended.
1:23
Seemed to be a good mix as well.

10 MINS LATER

11:46
I guess we'll start with the one that just finished, Murphy's Appraisal Well.
8:07
I mean, I feel like this was in the oven for a long time.
8:12
Yes, so we just whizzed round the coast, well the Atlantic margin I should say, and yeah, we'll end up in Cote d'Ivoire.
8:18
So yeah, Petrobras has literally made a colossal entry into Cote d'Ivoire, picking up eight blocks, and that is ranging from 0 to 4,000 metres deep, so we're talking ultra deep water here, and that ranges from the Liberia coast all the way to the Ghanaian coast, so...
8:37
Lots of acreage.
8:38
I can't remember.
8:39
I think it's roughly 34,000 square kilometres they've picked up in one go.
8:44
So I think this is the largest award in Côte d'Ivoire's history as well.

And now they pop up with ENI in Cote d'Ivoire.
