Drilling delay - there've been a handful of those to date; all overcome and confirming previously undrilled geological basis as working hydrocarbon provinces. And, thankfully not an Argentine in sight! Long may that continue.
read it think two weeks to fix
Oct 25th, 2012 - 06:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0your frigate in S. africa 2 months to fix a generator?
What would you want Think? Would you like them to drill with a faulty BOP?
Oct 25th, 2012 - 06:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Anyway the contract states that the company pays £0 day rate for the rig hire while the repair to the BOP is taking place. Good deal if you ask me :)
Lovely 3D. Hopefully we will see the result before I bugger off to South East Asia courtesy of Emirates and the lovely team mixing cocktails at the highest bar in the world :)

Oct 25th, 2012 - 07:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If memory serves me right.........., every time it has been a “Considerable Drilling Delay” on a well from the present Malvinas British Pirate Oil Prospection Campaign, the well turned out to be a dry hole........
Are two weeks a “Considerable Drilling Delay”?
What do you “Think”?
Two weeks delay , less than your flag ship has been impounded jajaja desperate trolls hardly a bad news story is it
Oct 25th, 2012 - 07:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Think is losing his touch, I used to remember there was a point to his posts...I guess after 2-3 years of posting on here unsuccessfully trying to further the online Malvinista cause has caused him to lose his focus and the purpose of his quirky viewpoints. Now he just posts any old crap that remotely criticises the Falklands.

A souvenier perhaps?

Oct 25th, 2012 - 08:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have a question. for you
Puerto Estanley is a litlle town, so maybe you know....
The other day, somebody told me that it was a minor skirmish atone of Estanley's pubs just because one guy called another guy a “Turnip”....
Have you heard about that episode?...
Or is that somebody just pulling my leg?
Actually he was called a “swede”.

Oct 25th, 2012 - 08:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Puerto Estanley????? no such place I'm afraid
Surely you mean Port Stanley???? I believe that when they invaded, that bunch of murdering, theiving, cheating b*st*rds re-named it Puerto Argentina did they not?
but Puerto Estanley??? such a place does not exist...........
Think - a drilling delay at Darwin and this was a condensate discovery (the stuff you can fuel jets with). Please shed some light on your analysis.
Oct 25th, 2012 - 10:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Regarding the fight. Fights are part and parcel of pubs and i hope it was an enjoyable experience for those pugilists partaking in such a noble (pardon the farm in pun) activity.
I imagine masked men armed with knives blocking roads is just one factor that makes Argentina the place it is today?

Oct 25th, 2012 - 10:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“it was a minor skirmish atone of Estanley's pubs ”
But not quite in the same league of gouging out priests eyes and leaving them by the roadside to die in 1970s Argentina is it?
Or chucking civilians out of helicopters into the sea?

Oct 25th, 2012 - 11:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Where the hell is 'Estanley' ??
Nowhere near that oil region known as the Falklands I suppose?
@15 LOL ..at least it's not “Puerto Argentino”- wherever that is!
Oct 26th, 2012 - 12:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0I congratulate the Falklanders for the effort invested in prospecting for oil. In time you will develop a lucrative oil industry. I suggest to welcome any oil company that want to invest in finding oil. Very different from the RGs, nobody wants to invest in YPF because they stole it from the Spaniards.
Oct 26th, 2012 - 03:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0Faith and patience, faith and patience. The Islanders had it in 82 and they have it now. Oil good things come to those who wait.
Oct 26th, 2012 - 05:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0@ I had heard he was called a 'Rutabaga'

I say:
Have you already forgotten the sweet pronunciation of your sweet Catalana ??
