Sep 17th, 2012 - 03:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How - Argentina doesn't even have the resources to exploit it's own resources without coming to the UK & USA with a begging bowl.

Pro RG/BK. Please educate us as to how Argentina can make it expensive to exploit these resources considering they will be using FPSO and Floating LNG plants.
Sep 17th, 2012 - 04:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are as thick as Marcos!
@1 Thanks for that. If there's one thing we've all learned, it's that when someone like you says “All smoke and mirrors”, you're seriously worried. Looks like FOGL is doing good, doesn't it? Go on, say “Well done, FOGL!” Do you think it might choke you? Don't they NEED gas over in argieland? They could get a VERY special price. Twice what anybody else has to pay!
Sep 17th, 2012 - 05:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 01- And how will that happen??? they have not stopped any foreign investment or drilling rigs etc. As said above they will need no support from mainland and especially not RGLand jajajajajajajajaja

@1 INDEC Inflation figures - 10%
Sep 17th, 2012 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Real Argentine inflation - 25%
(even CFK has put up chil;d benefit by 26%).
So, if a government agency like INDEC is incapable of telling the truth how can anyone expect an Argentine politician to be truthful about the history of the Falklands?
Nothing concrete. Juts read the article.

I know, I know!!! A leader that doesn't line his/her own pockets??? that's a pretty hard image for you Argentinian's to picture isn't it?
Gas, gas, beautiful gas....
Sep 17th, 2012 - 09:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is now 6 levels into junk status..........they worked hard to get that type of status. No one will invest there now. How will they make it expensive......offer to manage their economy?

Indeed :-))
Worried investor
“FOGL will charter a small boat for the core samples to arrive in the UK in 2 months time and another 2 months for analysis”
This “gas find” smells like a fart and feels just like a duster.

I think I saw ProRG's mom the other day here while I was traveling through Quito, was walkin down the street, took a wrong turn and there in the alleyway was a horrendous looking, heavily painted (think Cristina) transvestite, and all it said to me was “fucky?” as I walked by it. Almost made me puke.
Loud squealing from another nail being extracted............ The Falklands gets stronger and CFK's loony policies continue to improve our position in the international community.
Sep 18th, 2012 - 11:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0Thanks dear.
Marcos, I understand that Aerolineas does not bother much with saftey, but in the civilized world p[eople do not transport raw crude volatile gas by air!
Sep 18th, 2012 - 11:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ships sail from here to UK every 4-5 weeks so if you just miss one with a shipment then it is logical that it can take 2 months - a month until the next one which takes a month to reach UK - God you are THICK!
With major Int partners FOGL are not going to tell a lie- we leave lies to Kitschener Govts - if it was dry no hydrocarbon traces - a “duster” - they would have said!
It was not dry - unspecified and unverifiable(as yet) hydrocarbon volumes present - so that is what they have said!
You really do live in a fantasy world - one that is fast collapsing around you.
After the media circus hype when drilling first started with Desire - the Oil Operators now act cautiously and only say something when they have evidence - to try and minimise the circus hype.
Scotia is it as far as I am concerned.
Sep 18th, 2012 - 12:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Gas is OK but oil is better
Apparently if estimates of the amount of gas are verified, the Loligo prospect alone, would solve Argentina's entire energy needs for the next 40 years.
Shame Kirchner has condemned her fellow citizens to fuel poverty and/or the dodgy US fracking industry.
bla bla bla !!!!!!!! you bored averyworld!

Sep 18th, 2012 - 03:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It won't be “dodgy” if Chevron actually agreed to exploit the resources...but Chevron didn't, they're simply going to stand by and watch YPF attempt to explore, until after revolution kicks Cristina out, THEN they'll be the first foreign company on the scene for new gov, and they'll start seriously exploiting the reserves.
Chevron wouldn't seriously work with a gov like Cristina, they just want a foot in the door for when revolution comes.

Sep 18th, 2012 - 06:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What happened during my short walkabout along the Patagonian shores…..?
I read that the population of Malvinas is getting smaller and older…
And that Camp is becoming even more des”camp”ado… ;-)
I read that FOGL striked a “Gas Discovery” in our waters…
And that its share price went duly, from about 71pennies pre-discovery to a whopping….......................................
~ 69 pennies post-discovery… ;-)
I read that the English police finally apologized for Hillsborough…
What’s 23 years between friends… ;-)
Great news, all of them
still awaiting for the argies to say sorry for invading the falklands then.
Sep 18th, 2012 - 07:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the oil will come, soon, later, sooner or later...
the population always shrinks before it grows,
opps we forget.
and its still british .lol.

You a Falkland Islander, Thunk?
we suspect he is.
Sep 19th, 2012 - 09:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0#26 Welcome back Think? What do you think of Binner siding with the opposition; is there any chance of a transversal left project for Cristina with other left forces? Must say I was quite dissapointed with the Socialist leader joining forces with such a reactionary protest...

Sep 19th, 2012 - 04:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Politics in Argentina (as in the rest of the world) are quite complicated.
We have a high percent of “reactionary people” down here......
But they are our “reactionary people” and we have to work together.
(we have tried the other way, it didn't work :-(
My personal dream for a transversal project would be that Mrs. Fernandez de Kirchner nominated Mr. Binner as her candidate for 2015 ;-)
I'm a dreamer.............
@26
Sep 19th, 2012 - 06:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I hope in your short walkabout you telephoned CFK to tell her to stop kicking off native Argentinians off their lands.
#32 Binner may be too much of a dream (right now at least, I certainly hope he breaks with the right wing opposition) but I think Alicia Castro used to lead a non-Peronist left party, so she could be a good transversal Cristinista candidate =)
