“Meanwhile Rockhopper’s second well 26/6-1 at the Ernest location has been safely plugged and abandoned as a dry hole following completion of all logging runs.”
Tony Hayward was hired to plug this hole and the futures failures.

Interesting downward reaction in the market yesterday.....
Seems to be that “wax” and “temperature” are real nasty words......
Lets hope for a lot of it:-)

Chemicals on hand, or rather on shore in the Falklands, to deal with the wax.
Plenty of argie hot air to deal with temperature issues!

Hi Guys. Have been away for a few dyas but the same level of embarassing posts continues.

Think:

What do you classify as downward reaction. The sp is up today so is that upward pressure? Have you ever heard about the spread and trade volume? Try better next time!

Wax and temperature are not nasty words. Sea Lion is a Lacustrine source crude so anyone in the industry or with the ability to read would have already have known about the presence of wax in the crude. The geology was known a long time ago and the api and wax content is already know. In effect he only hope you have in “no hope”.

Funny how you Marxists appear to want to adivse on investments considering the huge sucess such political ideology has had in the world.

Regarding future failures - Now that the media in Argentina is going to be state controlled then I suppose that Argentina will report every step of the oil exploration in the Isalnds as a failure. Your last Dictatorship claimed consitently to be wining the War in 1982 and the SS Canberra (which transproted the defeated Army back to Argentina - with more care an attention than their officers ever gave them) was apparently sunk.

Any reason to believe that was is emerging as a new dictatorship will be any different?
