Under British sovereignty, the islanders own the oil
Under an imagined Argentine sovereignty. CFK would own the oil.
Under British sovereignty, the islanders will determine where the proceeds go.
Under an imagined Argentine sovereignty, CFK will take the proceeds.
Under British sovereignty the oil will leave the FPSO and most likely go to refineries in South Africa and the Caribbean.
Under imagined Argentine sovereignty, the project would be delayed for years due to corruption, would be poorly engineered, seized by the government, cost 3x the price, and the remaining oil and gas be wasted in inefficient SA refineries.
As far as the real key of all Malen....
1) All peoples have the right to self-determination
2) the Americas is full of implanted populations
3) Argentina siezed their homeland through genocide, the islanders reclaimed theirs peacefully.
1 Yup, Tinkavoicedover wrong again.
Jul 31st, 2013 - 07:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Malen, there is a resergence in North Sea oil exploration. We have shale gas everywhere and we still have massive coal reserves under the North Sea. We are a small windy island with the greatest potential for wind generation in Europe. We have massive tides in several locations which give huge potential for tidal generation. Our present government and the last few governments are the problem, they dithered and vacilated causing short term problems. As for Falklands oil it will not be brought here for refining, there is no need for it. The Falkland Islands are self governing and what they do with the oil money is there business. Some of it will be spent providing a high technology defence sheild to prevent RGland invading or interfering with their wealthy, peaceful and crime free lifestyle.

“The UK is a very mature(thief) province and if we are to find more oil and gas...then we need to go to other places(to steal),” said CEO Lockett in the interview

Aug 01st, 2013 - 03:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0What about all the shale gas under Patagonia, you stole it from the indiginous population , remember? Who is the thief now? All this happened years ago.
Anyway Argentina could not afford to explore for oil offshore. You would have to put money into an escrow account to pay for the exploration. Why can you not sort your own country out, and stop being concerned about the Falklands.
You have a fantastic country but I have to say workshy. No-one is prepared to put the effort in as they know it will not be worthwhile.
Looks like Tinka and friends topped up on this share hence the rise.

Your salad dodging Prince Maximo (got his C17 Globemaster yet?), has wasted more money on RG Airlines than will be earned by the Falkland oil fields for years to come, or would it be more accurate to say he has stolen it off the Argentine people and stashed it in mummy's bank in Switzerland?
A thief, and a fat one at that.
Why bothered about Falklands oil? You wouldn't even get as far as installing test rigs or getting the international finance to start-and it was Nestor that threw away the chance to get 50%. Is not he the real thief as he robbed Argentina of the chance of getting a share?
You have been very good at prospecting for oil in Patagonia that was stolen off the Amerindians in the 1800s, so.......
“We are not in the 1800's anymore Mr. Thief.”
Oh yes, when is your boss, Gollum taking these oil companies to court?
Promises of this in 2010 and 2012.

Although the UK has dragged its feet for years I believe despite the detractors of windpower, we are favourably placed vis a vis Europe in how much power we generate from wind.
Interesting that the FIs have dramatically reduced their reliance on oil with the (at last) heavy use of windpower. (40%?).
With the potential for perhaps some tidal schemes (the Murrel?), solar power (the Islands have high annual levels of sunlight), and the huge potential for biofuel production, and more wind generated power, in the future Falklands oil will be complementary to rather than be depended on by the Islands.
