Such an evident and coarse campaing to show the opposite of reality: oil industry is not booming these days, least in the islands. And companies are not fighting among themselves to get into the area. Let us be clear, honest and serious. ALl of a sudden a lot of good news on the booming oil industry in the islands is simply out of reality. Stop lying

“Falklands construction booming: permission for second 80 bedroom hotel”

so an 80 room hotel is considered “construction booming” in the islets...lol

now it is even funnier when you realize that this “hotel” is just a pile of containers which do not even have windows.

these isleters and their sense of architecture...LOL

The company plan the development on Rowlands Estates land which is currently used for grazing horses...”

Sweetie, I think its you who can't read what you post. None of those are in BA as I asked. Only 1 is under construction.
And let me tell you, when I moved in 2001 there were lots of buildings that looked like the Radisson does now. Built but with no windows. They sat there for YEARS before they were completed.
I wouldn't hold your breath.
Even the Radisson site says coming soon and if it was going to be done in the next year or two they'd be taking reservations.

The construction industry is collapsed in Argentina. There are 1000s of uncompleted projects. Only a utter retard would be building anything there now with no one to occupy it when its done.

@5 and 7
Do you think that Argos will spend thousands of US$ to hire an 80 bed luxury accommodation for oil workers if they are about to go broke don't think so . How many Islanders are there? maybe 1700 perhaps, with the oil workers that is an increase of 9.5% more people to spend money in the Islands. I suggest you Google SNOOZEBOX .COM if you REALLY want to see the accommodation, but I suspect you won't. So don't come on here with all your negative thoughts if you have not researched it.

Any hotel in Argentina would be far too far away to serve the promising oil industry in the Falkland Islands. Would imagine most of the oil workers will prefer to go to either Chile or Uruguay for some R&R rather than Argentina. They probably like to watch Top Gear as well.

What Pablo fails to understand that what is being installed is temporary accommodation for the oil workers and not hotels for tourists visiting the Islands.

You Islanders are so blinded by $$ signs in your eyes that you can't see whats happening. The oil companies are going to fill these shipping containers with hordes of drunken oil workers who are going to lay seige to your little hamlet.

After the smoke has cleared and money has left those wind swept rocks you are all going to be left there looking at those rusting hulks of containers for the rest of your lives.

If there's so much promise and money to go around tell these oil companies to build a nice looking hotel so in the end you have something tourists would want to stay in.
I understand you island dwellers are used to being born and raised in the tin shacks at the moment, but please have a touch of class. Going from a tin shack to a steel box may seem like a step up, but please try to raise the bar a little higher.

Why do the Argies not read or research the subject at hand, TEMPORARY means as @37 says they WILL be removed after the oil companies have finished the exploration phase in the FALKLANDS. Maybe in the future when and if a decent amount and commercial oil has been found then maybe they will decide to build permanent accommodation which will be built to the standard that the FALKLAND Government specify.

2 yrs ago the oil rig and support staff lived in short term rented houses in Stanley and some hotels. That space is now fully occupied so another solution is needed.

Think - as yet no details produced for any planning approval in Falklands. If what you show is approved for EU use and is what the Oil Companies are happy with for short term temp use here then I guess it may be that is what they request. So maybe I was wrong to assume they would be a sort of modern portacabin type version. But they seem very comfortable inside with modcons - for the purpose required - somewhere for itinerant workers to sleep!
hell plenty of cruise ship passenger cabins don't have windows(portholes) either! The ide is you go to your room to SLEEP - you relax in the communal lounges/messes etc. These guys will do 6-8 weeks on - then 6-8 weeks back home in UK. Standard wherever in the world they go I think.
Don't see a problem with them as this type would definatley be temporary and removed after end of drilling round. A more upmarket system could stay for a few years if needed.

Yeah most people couldn't give a damn about temporary accommodation while their on a 4/1 or 7/2 FIFO.

During our recent resources boom you should have seen some of the accommodation in WA towns. But when you could earn $100,000 for flipping burgers why would you care.

Temporary accommodation is just that, temporary. While it is nice if it looks nice, most people couldn't give a damn. What it does signify though, is that most of Think's whining comments about how the whole oil exploration and exploitation of the Falkland Islands was not eventuatinh, were clearly a load of bollocks.

So now he is reduced to criticising the architectural merits of this construction with an unemployed 'construction worker' because it is clear he is unable to spin this any other way than as a success.

The typical oil worker is well paid and well taken care of, especially those that travel to remote operations overseas.

Accommodation is usually comfortable, but not luxurious - food excellent, and lots of it.

This is for the Argentine trolls, several questions:

2-Why did Argentina not say anything in the 1841 treaty with the English....not until 1888 then in 1941?

3-In the mind of RG trolls, does proximity determine sovereignty?

4-Even if sovereignty was not with the Falklands and UK, do you trolls know you LOST a war? Since when do losers experience any spoils of war?

Get over the Falklands are not Argentine and work on containing 40% inflation, negative growth, capital flight, job losses, increasing poverty, loss of democracy, and, and ...........

There are many personal success stories like that for those who are willing to work.

And I suppose that's only if their own government doesn't screw it up.

Argentines could have been doing this sort of thing, instead of mucking out polo pony stables for the wealthy few, or providing other services for their new masters.

This is hilarious, thinks indignation and jealousy is palpable.

The Falkands are a population of 2000-3000 people, yet they have a new temporary dock, new temporary accommodation for oil workers, a new multi-million dollar exploration campaign in 2015-2016, and then oil development.

The nearer it gets the more desperate and jealous he will become.

Poor think....desperate and jealous.

The accommodation being planned is precisely as specified as desired by the oil companies. Good quality (not luxury; quality and luxury are not the same thing), about the same as a UK Premier Inn in terms of room size, furnishings and décor, and with a few other activities (a list of options was provided) available on site plus better than average food.

So whilst it's nice that you deadbeats are concerned for us that we may be doing this wrongly, the customer is more than happy. So please don't worry your sore, sour, jealous little minds about it.

I read one of Toby's pathetic little offerings yesterday (I forget which thread) and it reminded me that I would love £100 for each time he has declared “case closed” or “end of story”. I would also love £100 for each of Think's coffin nails. If I had all those £100s I could retire.

Expensive option there Mr.Think....
They look like Sash windows....Double glazed UPVC sash windows are more expensive than normal, but not too much and are quite common...
...but when you are looking for wooden sash...custom size.. you are then in the realm of “speciality” and that costs....
For cold areas they are also not great as they gaskets rebated into the wood to form the seal when closed tend to wear....in the UPVC they are built into the design...
I have double glazed old sash windows a few times by routing the rebate to take a 20 mm Argon filled unit...finished with silicone and a wooden bead....looks good, you can also purchase a gasket set online as well....
It's also pretty simple to make sash windows....if you have the kit....(Decent bench saw, router and a biscuit jointer and a couple of sash clamps)
This old place is 150 year old and has 24 Sash windows.....I'm what you might call experienced.....;-)))
Before anyone screams off topic...it's about as interesting as Gerald Cheeks's sun room on the north side of his home at 9 Biggs Road.....as a matter of fact it is interesting as my Sun room (conservatory) is South facing and gets the sun all day...So in the Southern Hemisphere it must be opposite...well I never....

Yes Troy I see. You only need new temporary accommodation if you have a radical increase in temporary population.

As Sallus vainly tries to point out, 15 permits isn't very high. But then as per usual their scale is out. Think is dredging up yet another of his failed sock puppets just to remind us of how lonely and pathetic he is. Imagine creating an entire persona just so you could talk to them. Talk about imaginary friend. And for what? No benefit at all. Unless you count bad investment decisions.

But then, blaming others (real or imagined) for your problems is a true Argentine trait for some.

Sallus can laugh (and drool?!?!!! - which is a bit disconcerting) all he wants. But he blindly accepts the Argentine government lies about actually stopping this oil exploitation. No laughing at those vain actions.

Yet more nails in Argentina's South Atlantic coffin of ambitions. Frustrated by a couple of thousand Kelpers and British soldiers. Fated to sit back and watch as the country next door successfully does what it wants and becomes even richer while forgetting any past links that might have changed their history.

There's oil in Falkland's future. How much and for how long? Who knows. What isn't in Falkland's future is Argentine sovereignty. Which is why people like Think and Sallus and Paul have to attempt to put a spin on any news out of the Falkland's. Because that is all they can do. An economic blockade, threats and invasion have only served to have the opposite effect of Argentina's desire.

Temporary accommodation will he built. So what if it is ugly. I can't wait to watch the deflection and spin when workers are finally living in them. You watch Think count numbers. “Ooooh only 60 Engrish pirates are living in that them there Kelper accommodation built for 80. Behold me highlighting a failure. The whole thing is nothing but a mirage.”

Following them Islands standards, “Construction is Booming”...
Following the Market standards, Bubble is Bursting...:

”Last week’s announcement by Premier that Sea Lion will be exploited via an FPSO was broadly welcomed by the market — but one source who follows the company very closely described it as “a Red Herring” that basically aims to give Sea Lion a market value.
The source said some banks attribute no value to Premier’s Falkland assets, believing they cannot be developed.

“I have seen a few banks doing this. So what Premier is doing with its announcement is saying is “you are wrong” because these assets are commercial at $85 per barrel.”

“It’s a message to the market,” said the source. “This whole story about an FPSO and smaller development is a bit of red herring. It’s all about a positioning statement (to banks) to say bring (Sea Lion) back into your core net asset valuation.”

The genesis of some banks’ valuations of Sea Lion harks back to 2012, when Premier’s farm-in to Rockhopper Exploration’s acreage attracted the anger of investors.

The quality of Sea Lion’s crude was not the sticking point, but rather the field’s location in disputed waters, and how this would deter a potential takeover of the company.

Premier will resume wildcatting next March, hoping for results within two months.

The first probe will target the Zebedee prospect before mobilising to Isobel Deep, then Jayne East and Chatham.

David Round, an analyst with BMO Capital, described Premier’s focus on an FPSO solution as a “notable back-track by the partners who will have invested a lot of time and money into a purchased TLP option...”

There was an old broadway play.....“How to succeed in business without really trying”. Seeing they did Evita the musical, maybe they will do one about the Bolivarian movement. “How to destroy a country without really trying but get rich in the process”

Time to repost one of my old but good links from 2012...
http://www.wtrg.com/prices.htm...:

”1970 - 2011 average crude oil price (in 2010 U$S)...:
U.S. crude oil had an average price of $34.77 per barrel.
The more relevant world oil price averaged $37.93 per barrel.
The median oil price for that period is $32.50 per barrel.

I rest my case...

Public transportation strike and a massive blackout hit the city of Buenos Aires this morning, sending the population into a frenzy. And it’s not even December yet.

Lots of photos here;

Yea I heard about that blackout this morning. I guess it was fairly widespread. I could not reach family this morning. Did they run out of fuel at the power plants.....?

An average is a meaningless stat in of itself. 13 a barrel in 1970 and what.....97 in 2011?

I can hardly wait to see what shape Buenos Aires is in on my next trip. Each one gets uglier.

My bad.... Somehow I was under the impression you had kind of a “family connection” to Argentina...
Anyhow... Danish girls aren't bad either...

Nope, none whatsoever. The Danish connection is tenuous and is probably about 5 generations ago.

Think: “....married an Argie girl... ”

Thinks brain is a bit addled - he's likely thinking of Captain Poppy.

His lovely wife is enjoying the bounty of a traditional Anerican Thanksgiving, just now.

What pgerman doesn't understand, and Think won't admit, is that the Islands are doing fine with their present economy - better than Arg!!

Oil, is just diversifying - it won't go away :-)

Think doesn't understand that share prices are affected by many, many external global factors. The situation in the Falklands remains the same. The companies that are investing are playing a long-game. This is not the short-termism of the Kirchners.

135/138. Funny how YPF's HUGE decline isn't on his list.

With oil crashing Think will be long dead before any substantial oil comes out of VM.
And we may see YPF declare bankruptcy pretty soon. I don't think they have much cash and they can't float any U$ bonds.

I will laugh and laugh if that happens.
