In addition, the company will have an option to participate in each of the next wholly owned commitment wells to be drilled on the Corentyne and Annex offshore petroleum production licenses in Guyana, South America, by funding 50% of the exploration well costs and certain seismic costs, in exchange for a 33% interest in the respective licenses.
