Sep 18th, 2012 - 08:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You seem to have issues, and difficulty writing in English. Are you Argentine by any chance? I believe you meant to say naive and spiel.
Why should it matter to you whether Desire gets investors or not? I mean, it's not like they're YPF and there's a danger that the government will steal it, and rip off the investors, is it?

Sep 18th, 2012 - 09:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well nobody wants to touch YPF either, and the idiots think they are going to get investment from the British, even though the Argentines say they don't want investment from Britain. FOGL rules. YPF looses.

Sep 19th, 2012 - 02:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yep, that's Desire(Disaster) Petroleum...more to follow.
Investing in any of the Oil Exploration Companies around the Falkland Islands is fraught with risk. Even the Telegraph has an “avoid” recommendation on FOGL which many, including myself, believe to be the best of the lot.
Sep 19th, 2012 - 08:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Share dilution and market manipulation are often mentioned. The chances however of FOGL finding recoverable oil in commercial quantities at the Scotia prospect are good and for that reason I will stick with them.
So for me Harry has a point, be he English, Argentinian or whatever.

Sep 19th, 2012 - 06:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Tell me this. Speaking of Desire, what do you think of Lewis? Not that you'd know him personally or anything. LOL!
All nonsense to capitalize on a rumor to take peoples money when it fails.
Sep 19th, 2012 - 08:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0YPF is much more attractive. Much cheaper to extract oil from land thhe sea.
ProG 12 -= Can you then please explain Why onshore production of Oil and Gas in Argentina has been declining for 5-10 years?
Sep 19th, 2012 - 10:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes it is a bit more expensive under the sea - that gets factored into the decision to go ahead and develop and exploit or not. Has been standard policy world wide ever since first offshore wells started probabaly a century or more ago.

Sep 20th, 2012 - 02:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm assuming you are talking about of one of Desire's founding directors, who by the way stepped down after being fined almost £150,000 for insider trading, right?
Say hi to Darwin.

Why can't it get money from the USA then?
Why is it planning to raise money in the UK, whom Argentina said they would not deal with?
Rig is 10 days away from Scotia prospect. FOGL responsibe for 15% of the costs but retains 40% interest. Presence of oil or otherwise should be confirmed by mid November. Fingers crossed.
