Argentina is making few friends in the oil and gas industry these days
Interview with Sam Logan (*) Angering Spain by seizing and nationalizing a majority of Repsol's shares in YPF and ramping up the rhetoric over the Falkland Islands as exploration deals promise to make the territory a major oil player overnight, Argentina is making few friends in the fossil fuels industry these days.

Jul 25th, 2012 - 08:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0The real question is “who knows Dany Berger?” - probably only his mum and his social worker.
Jul 25th, 2012 - 08:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0They are going to nationalise Metrogas next.

Jul 25th, 2012 - 10:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0Again who knows him? Is brother of Obama?
It doesn't really matter if you don't know who he is, this is just a report of on interview he gave, what matters is whether what he says is correct.
Jul 25th, 2012 - 11:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well Dany? would you care to refute his answers?
What I love about Dany is that when you mock him he comes back with a comment that makes no sense whatsoever. Kudos.
Jul 25th, 2012 - 11:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0@8 But then again, you are too retarded to understand just who the “Important” people/organsations of the world are.
Jul 25th, 2012 - 11:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0Little tip, Hugo and CFK are not up there, neither is that corrupt joke of an organisation you have down there.
What is truly sad is Arg has huge unexplored on and off shore areas. Nothing really has been done for 10-15yrs. They can't afford teh new technology, don't have the expertise or equipment and are DESPERATELY in need of their own o/g resources.
Jul 25th, 2012 - 01:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The big fields they discover 20-30yrs ago are pretty much depleted adn if they don't do something soon they will run dry.
The Ks have destroyed this industry. This is yet another example of a very long list that will take 10-15yrs to recover once the dynasty is finished.
As I have said many times I think the K dynasty will be studied as the perfect example of how to ruin a country through bad government.
My advice to Rgs is buy sugar.
@9 Don't be silly. Dany couldn't refute a fart. Is that because Dany's a fart? Come on, Dany, 'fess up. Are you a fart? Or just wind?
Jul 25th, 2012 - 01:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good things we didn't exploit our oil 30 years ago when oil prices was 20$ per barrel when it's 100 $ today. If we wait a little longer we might be able to pay our international loans with a single barrel of oil, up to a few days ago everyone was trashing Argentina saying who will invest in Argentine, there is our answer the ritchest people in the world will, because little people can't risk it, the reality is if there is some money to be made the greedy will floak. This might be sad news for British and USA.

Jul 25th, 2012 - 03:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's your prerogative to exploit your oil resources when you decide the time is right, equally it's our prerogative to exploit ours, for us the time is right now so we're going for it.
Good luck with yours (once you get your shit together enough to do anything with them....if ever).
And so @14 we can see the contribution of an argie lavatory cleaner in Canada.
Jul 25th, 2012 - 03:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0To quote the dictum of Clausewitz sometimes rendered as “War is the continuation of diplomacy by other means” The Argentine government seems to be trying to disprove this by following a war with aggresive hostile diplomacy

Jul 25th, 2012 - 03:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0By the time Argentina pays there loans, the world will be running cars on hydrogen. Anyone that has ever consulted with Saudi Arabia knows that they are already planning for a non-oil based economy.
19. The're already bankrupt if you add up all their unpaid loans and judgments they just don't know it yet.
Jul 25th, 2012 - 03:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#15, 16, 18, 19 As I stated before, sad news for you all, this report might equate to a cold shower in winter. I understand all excuses pouring out of you all, a few days ago this report was impossible to fathom. But I told you then as I tell you now brits and USA should keep their opinions to help your own country and stop making fools of yourselves by trying to tell Argentine's anything about our country for we care very little for your opinion and chances are you are all 100% wrong, thanks but no! thank!

Jul 25th, 2012 - 04:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Excuses pouring out of us? what excuses? we're already in the process of exploiting our oil resources in the Falklands, you're the one making excuses for Argentinas lack of progress on that score with your own resources....ah yes...how foolish of me...it's not that you're incapable of developing new fields, it's all part of a grand plan isn't it?
BTW if you really didn't care about our opinions you'd not reply to our comments on here, you're as transparent as a piece of glass you bitter, envious little man.
Where is this pirate hunting? His ship should be captured, its captain keel hauled twice before being made to walk the plank from his erstwhile ship after which the vessel should be burnt together with all the baggage and putresent cargo it carries in its hold

Jul 25th, 2012 - 05:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#22 I didn't know you where argentine or at the very least an argy wanebe, you got one thing right it might just be us Argentine developing our oil fields. All in time. I didn't think size mattered to homosexuals.
#23 we have many pirates in Islas Malvinas Argentina who should be treated as you stated. Australia does it to Muslims and blacks why not do it to white trash.
Still no investment of any kind then, domestic or foreign, in Argentina’s large untapped oil/gas reserves. No, never mind you can always pay the Chinese to take them away for you.
Jul 25th, 2012 - 06:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is not trying to tell you anything, simply making observations.
Like, the “white trash” in the Falklands are armed to the Fcuking teeth.
Try it, if you’ve got the pelotas that is.
Seem very odd that if everything is going gangbusters that BA can't afford its electricity bills? I see they owe over 50MM and they turned off all the lights on the public building and fountains etc.

@24
Jul 25th, 2012 - 06:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0why are you quoting yourself? we all read your inane drivel the first time, it doesn't improve with being repeated.
I see that my assumption that you are a fascist (based on your comments advocating genocide and ethnic clensing on another thread) is accurate, your references here to the correct treatment of Muslims and blacks confirms that. Ah...and homosexuals and white trash apparently. Tell me Nazi pirat, is there anyone in the world you're not mad at?
@24
Jul 25th, 2012 - 06:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What pirates?

Jul 25th, 2012 - 07:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0More than the pirates......I want to know who in Argentina is going to capture the so called pirates. The RG Navy we have more ships in just one port Portsmouth, Virginia than their entire navy.
Peat bog Look west and you will see them an cap´n they arent sleepin there below. Actually the whole dispute is the nieghbours aint got summat you have - peat bogs- and with the future fuel crisis they are jealous of your resources

Internet trolls always do, that's their raison d'être.
@30
Jul 26th, 2012 - 07:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Of course. And their way of making people walk the plank was to chuck them off aircraft into the sea.
Is it not interesting that two of the historical characters much lauded by the Argentines,Vernet (who sought permission from UK for his settlement), and Jewett comitted piracy? That's why the USA kicked them out.
The Malvinistas never actually mention the real people guilty of piracy, nor the fact that the UK did not eject anyone by force( in 1833 the UP ot RP garrison were asked to leave), but that the USA did actually eject settlers.
Why would the lovely Cristina want to make any friends in Bush and Cheney's industry anyway?
