Anders.
That's no problem.
There's a reference in the quarterly to a settlement in the Haugane unit. Is that material. Is that somehow related to Yggdrasil? To your interest equity interest in.
Haugane.
Yeah, the Haugane unit.
No, that's not. Anything material.
Nothing material. Okay, okay. Okay. And then just one one more question on the. The the project waves. So that was good news. But is there more to come in 2026?
Actually, yes. So now we have a. Approved the first wave. Of of this type of projects we've been in the market. We announced the maintenance contracts earlier this year and now we have the subsea contracts. We also increased our rig. Exposure with new rigs and actually new rig coming into the Norwegian Continental shelf. So we have what's in in needed to now execute on the first wave. And we will announce a second wave in the end of the year. And then the third wave towards June next year. So all of this is now kind of lined up. And the organization is, is changed. The work processes are changed. So we are now in the execution mode of all this faster subsea tie in projects.
Yeah I should. Also. Anderson. Torgrim.
