ChezGiven 0 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Invading Argentina might not be such a bad idea as it happens. The world economy needed a war to pull us out of the last Great Depression. Method in the madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 By Rockhopper this morning S***, Hits & fan now.......................... Is it a viable field? won't know for while - depends on test results, further wells and economics - but it's a great place to start from - 150m gross, 53m net and excellent porosity (i.e it should flow like s***) Drilling Programme Update Sea Lion Exploration Well - 14/10-2 Oil Discovery Rockhopper Exploration, the North Falkland Basin oil and gas exploration company, is pleased to announce that well 14/10-2 on the Sea Lion prospect has reached a depth of 2,744 metres. Initial data collected indicate that this well is an oil discovery, which would be the first in the North Falkland Basin. The Company has run a suite of wireline logs and logging data collected thus far indicate that the well has encountered a 150 metre gross interval of sand and shales. The data show that the well has 53 metres of net pay distributed in multiple pay zones, the thickest of which has a net pay of 25 metres. These pay zones have an average porosity of 19%. Rockhopper now intends to collect additional logging information prior to making a decision whether to plug and abandon the well, or to suspend the well for future testing. The Company is also considering whether to drill an appraisal well on Sea Lion later during the current drilling campaign. Further information will be distributed in due course. It remains the intention of the Company to drill the Ernest prospect in the fourth slot of the overall Falklands Drilling programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of scouse mackems, but these really are the South American Iraqi's if you ask me. Get the old Tridents parked up 20 mile of the River Plata, they'll sharp pipe down.

sandman02uk 0 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 That Oil has been known about since before the falklands war (and some suspect the reason we went down there to reclaim it) but the technology and the cost required meant it wasn't viable, however with the price of a barrel of oil and the technology now available it becomes a whole new ball game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hmmmm - noit sure what the Contract is for the Falklands FOGL claim :- Excellent fiscal terms – corporation tax 26%, Royalty 9% • Positive economics with a post tax NPV10 of $8/bbl* • A 100mmbbl field is about the minimum fieldsize and would be economic down to an oil price of c. $25/bbl • Political stability with strong support from FI & UK Governments • Excellent logistics: deep water harbours & international airport • Access to a range of oil and gas markets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
