Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are given a special rate. For example, we are given US$69 to lift crude oil. Then we can sell it for US$69.10 or US$70; so, that is the difference we make. We are given at a lower rate, so that we lift. So, if, for example, we are able to lift 30,000 barrels, we will make, at least, US$1 from the barrel. Out of that, we tender to agents to go and lift on our behalf. What they make out of that US$1 is what we also charge them. We ask them to tell us how much they will give us. If four companies go and tender and tell us: \"We are going to give you 20 cents out of the US$1\", we take the highest. That is why you see the discrepancy between the billions that we expect and the millions we are getting."}
