Comment 1
We have reviewed your response to prior comment four of our letter dated July 18, 2007. Although production has not commenced for the Agbami field, we assume that you have a cash flow projection for the field in the reserve report beginning at the estimated time of first production. Please confirm that the volumes of proved reserves that you are attributing to fuel gas have no sales prices associated with them and, therefore, carry no value in the cash flow analysis since these volumes are not being sold.

Response: We do have in the reserve report for the Agbami field a cash flow projection beginning at the estimated time of first production. We confirm the volumes of proved reserves attributed to fuel gas have no sales prices associated with them and, therefore, carry no value in this cash flow projection since these volumes are not being sold.
Very truly yours,
