stockhocker, seems quite plausible and in fact is more in line with my assumptions that we will 'trade' unproven equity in JDZ or STP EEZ blocks for carry in any or all of JDZ, STPEEZ or NEEZ, my response to Mrmx is simply playing along with the different scenarios presented here, my guess would be from a business perspective that there is some kind of 'sharing' based on proven reserves as a 'variable' or sliding scale...I did state that as a 'guess' I believe (grin)
