When it comes to monitoring where the oil is, we're very careful to map it well. We use 3D and 4D seismic technology to take a live picture of where the oil is and how it flows so we can drill in the sweet spots of the reservoir and not in unproductive areas. Also, more often we're powering platforms with a combination of solar and wind power for our electrical needs during operation. And we're using renewable resources to power oil production. If you do something in a way that protects natural resources, often it's a more efficient and...
