Dismissed the need for shale Gas Technology and its development in russia one of the areas that is important in the discussion today is that neighboring ukraine has vast, unconventional Gas Resources and these resources are being targeted by again the International Oil industry. Shell sign ad production sharing agreement in Eastern Ukraine which is on hold right now. Chevron has an agreement, a productionsharing agreement in western ukraine for unconventional gas. And in a sense, i suppose if ukraine were to stablize you could see these projects moving forward.
