Premier Oil is a UK company Mercopress. Think you've got confused with Noble Energy here.

@9. The RG government has been threatening to take UK oil companies drilling for Falkland hydrocarbons to the 'international courts' since February 2010. Why is the case taking soooo l o n g?
Aug 26th, 2014 - 12:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0have you ever asked yourselves why top class companies like chevron, total, exxon, etc are not interested in that “oil” well?

@12. Curiously, I can't find much in Premier's record about failures and accidents. In fact, only 2 “accidents”. A helicopter crash where, it appears, the helicopter was not properly maintained by the operator. Since Premier wasn't the operator, it's only that the passengers were working for Premier. That was 2009. Then there was a diving incident in 2011. It appears that the diver may have been, unknowingly, suffering from diabetes. I would have expected the Falkland Islands Government to have made some fairly extensive enquiries about Premier's history.
Aug 26th, 2014 - 02:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0On the other hand, Premier is operating in United Kingdom, Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Philippines, Norway, Congo, Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic and Egypt.
Naughty argie propaganda?

Aug 26th, 2014 - 03:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sometimes your posts are full of hate and crap but I do enjoy the factual ones like above. Van I ask though, why do you sometime fly of the handle and go on tangents? Posts like the one above are much more insulting to those who want to discredit anything the UK does. Beat the malvinists with fact and not insults. Anyway just wanted to say I like the response to 12.
Exciting times ahead for the people of the faulklands premier oil are a first class company..

Aug 26th, 2014 - 04:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thanks for the link. It is interesting and appreciated.
First, I enjoy eating meat. I buy both normal and organic produce, wear leather shoes and enjoy an occasional duck hunt. I support herd culling by hunting to manage animal populations. In other words, I'm not some PETA lunatic...
As I read in your news about the “Landmark reindeer eradication project to protect native biodiversity” I again felt a certain sadness that the authorities had made such a poor decision. Yes, I understand the reasoning, but then again, were the reindeer really causing such ecological damage? I don't think anyone really knows, but I suspect it was a tragic mistake.
With complete respect and encouragement to continue the news site.

Aug 26th, 2014 - 05:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0i am exactly in the opposite extreme regarding “my” government.
you seem to be too naive, or too ignorant or just too boludo.
anyway, i'm heading to mar del plata now to surf those 5 meter tall waves, so i do not have more time to waste with you all.
i will report from there soon.
peace and love
Hold on a mo, you're heading to MDP when its 42F degrees outside to surf? Are you insane?
Aug 26th, 2014 - 05:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BTW if you've never been MDP water is DISGUSTING, its brown and freezing, the beach sand is wet and people bring tents to stay out of windy sand. Not a pleasant place.
Although I did have the best pizza there, I wish I could remember the name of it, small place 1 block from the beach on the south side of the park. Yum yum.

Aug 26th, 2014 - 07:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A real surfer would head to Waikiki beach, less pollution and not so many Argentinians who have a habit of kicking sand in your face and on your towels because you got there first (sounds like their attitude to the falklands, but its true)
Little CFK,s head will be exploding again.........

When you 're trapped in some 3 rd World dungeon, like Pablo niño, your choices are limited to choosing the 'best' sh!thole.
I never saw Polly, while I was surfing in Huntington, CA, Waikiki, or the North side of the Island ( Hawaiian) !

Many many people surf, little niño.
Did you think it was just you????
I worked and lived, one block from the beach, in Huntington. What do you think we did there?
Hawaii has 10's of thousands of visitors every year, like me, going there to surf and go diving.
The funny thing is, YOU will never be able to.

Can wait for the Argentine Gov to try to arrest some US oil executives. For that showdown I would bring a whole barrel of popcorn!
