@1. Argentina has been threatening to take British and Falkland oil companies to 'the international courts' since February 2010. So far n o t h i n g has happened. Will you hurry them along so we can all have a laugh...

Jul 12th, 2014 - 06:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps YPF is interested as it is Argentinas oil after all, wait a minute they have no money to exploite VACA MUERTA so I suppose that is a no go. Premier will be in a better position when they have finished the new wave of drilling in 2015. Watch this space.
Wonder if HMG have a couple of spare bil to invest?

@1. Isn't it wonderful? Money whichever way the Falklanders look. You must be so pleased for them. Just look at that lovely $29,300,000,000,000 worth of oil. Isn't that about $29 quadrillion? How's argieland's “reserves”? How's your arithmetic? Is that a million times more?

“ Will you hurry them along so we can all have a laugh...”
Yes Paul, we're getting bored of all these threats of legal action against oil companies and jack squit happening.
The function of the Argentine government is to provide us with entertainment, so it needs to pull its finger out, and at least issue am arrest warrant.
I agree with Pete, not enough laughs coming out of La casa rosada at the mo...

Jul 12th, 2014 - 09:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Go on, send out a few arrest warrants. Especially on any US investors, contractors etc. You are already so popular in NYC!
YPF was (is?) looking for U$35B/yr to develop VM. By my count they still have only had one big investor in Chevron U$1.7B over the next decade ( I think) and it looks like that is drying up.
Jul 13th, 2014 - 02:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It must be very unprofitable to develop VM.
Argentina is one of the very few countries in the world where they can't get OIL companies to invest. OIL COMPANIES!!
They're used to dealing with every slimeball dictator/potentate in the world and they avoid CFK like the plague.
Very telling.
After that result,tell them you,ve struck oil and there will be mass suside,I dont think their little brains could handle it!!!!!!!

Ideological bedfellows, Argentina & Vzla, I hope they self destruct sooner rather than later.
