Dec 13th, 2013 - 08:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0RKH 144.00 +2.00 (+1.41%)
Argentina has LOST all the oil it wanted around the Falkland Islands and quoting the daily share price movement for one company makes you feel better!
How sad!
Oh YPF: 29.07 -0.29 (-0.99%)
Wow what does that mean?
Nothing much really.
Poor old fantasy Marcos- he is a bigger fantasy than even CFK!
Dec 13th, 2013 - 10:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Marecos- for your info- the leaders offshore falklands for the last year are:
Premiere Oil and Noble Oil.
Premier effectively own RKH and have done for over a year - do try and catch up.
so will now CFK move to fine , and punish this Scottish firm,
Dec 13th, 2013 - 12:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0will she send in bailiffs to enforce it,lolol
The seminar was a complete success. Large supply-chain companies attended and are very interested in becoming involved in the Falklands oil and gas industry. The event was fully subscribed.
Dec 13th, 2013 - 01:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Marcos, the seminar was aimed at supply-chain companies and not oil operators. So please stay relevant with your inane comments.

The “state of affairs” regarding the English Pirate Oil Adventure in Malvinas can best be measured by looking at the companies with 100% engagement in them wind blown Islands…..:
DESPIRE PETROLEUM…: Ooooops… Doesn’t exist anymore, “absorbed” by…:
FALKLANDS OIL AND GAAAAS...: Ooooops… Down ~15% since “absorbing” DESIRE PETROLEUM some days ago…
(B & S ;-) PETROLEUM…: Ooooops… Down ~12% during the last few days…
ARGHHHOS RESOURCES…: Ooooops… Down ~30% during the last month…
ROCKFLOPPER EXPLOITATION…:The star of the show!!!…. Mantaining its value ~140p, down from their 500p best…
Lets now have a look at that ”Biggish English Oil Company” with only limited engagement in them wind blown Islands…..
PREMIER OIL…: Ooooops… Down ~25% since “partially absorbing” ROCKFLOPPER EXPLOITATION ~a year ago…
Now, to the good news….:
Some members of the Malvinas-Falklands Islands’ Chamber of Commerce (M-FICC) are currently being offered the possibility of directorships with UK Oil companies….
As them Kelpers want to know a bit about what they might be getting into…, they have attended an Oilthigh na Gàidhealtachd agus nan Eilean online seminar…
A seminar entitled…:
***“How To Make Sure You Go to Jail If You’re A Company Director”***…

@8 No company oil director will go to jail because Argentina has no jurisdiction outside of La La land.
Dec 13th, 2013 - 08:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Even so, chief defence witness: Ban Ki-Moon will confirm (as he said on 12th November 12) 'that Security Council members (UK) are not in breach of ANY relevant UN resolutions over the Falklands.' He can also confirm ICJ Advisory opinion of 21st June 71 which confirms that self-determination is applicable to ALL non-self-governing territories.
Argentina might just as well passed a law to whistle into the wind...Lol.
Think - you have overlooked one I mentioned - Noble - but then you would - they are US, not nasty British! How about the Italian-French Edison oil investors as well?
Dec 14th, 2013 - 12:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0It has been a quiet time for Falklands Oil these last 12 months - no dsrillinmg, just more seismic and consolidation of groupings and planning for the next stages.
I am just a layman and camp boy - but even I can figure that it is a dull time for share value movements - give it another 12 months when the next drilling round will be getting under way - then we will see some share activity in one direction or another.
Looking forward to the unveiling this next week of Noble,s plans for their interim temporary port facility to handle their planned drilling campaign starting in about 12 months.

“Think - you have overlooked one I mentioned - Noble - but then you would - they are US, not nasty British!”
I say...:
That’s correct……...... I intentionally overlooked them American hyenas that destroyed the Argentinean Malvinas settlement in 1831...
Our present beef is against them English jackals that came in 1833...

Dec 14th, 2013 - 06:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No one connected with Falkland Islands will go to jail, unless Argentina go to the ICJ, present evidence that they own the Falklands, and get a decision in their favour.
Until Argentina can prove beyond any doubt that the Islands should be a colony of their Imperial state, the jail threats mean jack squit.

Dec 15th, 2013 - 10:55 am - Link - Report abuse 01) I would want to be a Scot because... that would allow me to vote them bloody Sassenachs out of Alba in 2014…
