>> bessie is the bureau of safety and environmental reinforcement.it's the agency charged with safe and responsible development. it has been on-site 24/7. it is holding shell to the highest standards that ever really been put in place. it is making sure that if there is an incident in their drilling activities that we can address that incident during the time frame necessary before the ice moves in. all of that has been going as planned. shell had a problem when one of its vessels ran aground, as you all know. that vessel carried the capping stack which is one of the requirements bse had. they had to be approved before going into the ground. they had a storm that occurred a few weeks back that was a pretty epic storm for them. shell voluntarily shut their offices down. i think they lost about five days because of that. but they are taking the right kinds of precautions to make sure that things are done safely there, and our people are up there to validate those circumstances, and if need be, ask for additional action. so i'd say right now things are
