No, it wouldn't require a relief well. The problem is a relief well—not a problem, it's a fact--will take a long time to be successful. There has been a lot of discussion about drilling a relief well simultaneously with the original well. The problem there is that any time you start to drill a well you have to know what the target is. You don't know where the target is because you don't know if a blowout is going to occur on your exploration well, where in the well that will be, and therefore where your relief well should be targeted. The other thing that we always have to bear in mind about relief wells is that drilling another well presents an additional set of risks. Every well is risky to some degree, and you're doubling the amount of risk if you have to drill two wells for every well you're going to use to explore or produce.
