Has reserves of 11 million barrels? Is that really much of a finding? Argentina's daily consumption of petroleum is about 700,000 barrels PER DAY! So all that work and money spent for about half a month's supply of oil? I mean I know Argies are REALLY dumb when it comes to numbers, but this is unrealistic.......and how are they going to get it out of the ground, by Kretina sucking it out of a straw?? More Argie jokes they are more and more laughable EVERY DAY!!

It's not really a “field”. It's a pipeline! Already got the field. Drill down, connect to the pipeline and you have a second “field”!

Couldn't agree more, concentrate on their own matters and stop bothering others.

They would earn more respect if they got their own, rather than take from others.

Let the Falklands alone to live in peace.
and concentrate on getter her ship back for a start.

Surely this find in on the Falklands Continental Shelf or in Argy occupied Patagonia, either way are they allowed to ”drill and exploit” in disputed territory.

@1
Then factor in that its 11 million barrels as unrefined oil.

@7
With most of it being in British Antarctic Territory.

The future boom for the Falklands, as the gateway the Antarctic.

You are both right, but it could be a win - win situation couldn't it?

Argentina gets some oil of it's own, so it leave the Falklands alone and it could use the extra cash to get it's ship back!

There!! everyone's happy now!!
