I do have that information and I'm happy to share it with the chamber. There were four areas: area S05-2, offshore of South Australia; W05-5, offshore of Western Australia; W05-23, offshore of WA; and W05-24, also offshore of WA. Those areas have a technical specification when they're released as tenements. Unless you really want that information I'll leave that off, just for time reasons, but I'm happy to provide it to you if you really need it. The companies involved across those four areas are Exxoil; Gascorp; Moby Oil and Gas; National Energy; Woodside; Mitsui; PTTEP, which is Thai; Toyota Tsusho Gas; Plectrum Petroleum; Arcadia Petroleum; Innovation Resources; Cathay Petroleum; and the last one actually is the same consortium, so those same companies—they are all involved. As I said, I've taken it on notice and we can come back to you if need be after this debate about the process and how the discovery occurred.
