Nov 14th, 2014 - 08:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0Premier Oil revised proposal for commercial oil production in the Malvinas Islands, has been on its way for months now.
Due fully to the impossibility to find any new investors for this South Atlantic Mississippi Bubble.
The “Current International Oil Price Environment” is just a new negative factor incorporated to the Bubble just one month ago.
Stop telling porkies to your neighbours, Stephen...
Seem Argentina is a neighbour now.
Nov 14th, 2014 - 08:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0So glad when Argetineans finally admit that the Falklands aren't part of Argentina. That's twice this week that Think has done it.
Good boy, from your dahling Ozzie Anglolatino.
Think- whatever wording and window dressing the Oil Co use is irrelevant- and they use it - not FIG.Prices have been falling for some months - not weeks old chap. But yes logic has been heading in the direction of a delay or scaling back for some time and is not a problem for the Islands as we have no committed or actual financial dependence on long term hydrocarbons
Nov 14th, 2014 - 09:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0A lot will depend on what is or is not found in the 2015 drilling round.IF More is found - then the sums change and rapidly improve. Lets wait and see.

A Scot screwing the Frogs in the very early 1700's and completely irrelevant to the topic in hand.

Nov 14th, 2014 - 03:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0so weak oil prices, eh?...it is the cheapest excuse ever.
but what can you expect from an insignificant company and the government of an insignificant islet?:
A Failure.

Dear Argentinean married Turnip at (18)....
Nov 14th, 2014 - 05:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Risking being accused of going “Off Topic”, I will shortly answer your request...
I'm convinced that the UNASUR, in close cooperation with his sister organization, the COMMONWEALTH, are keeping a vigilant eye on the political developments in their member state, GUYANA...
I'm positive that, if something seriously unconstitutional or antidemocratic took place in our member state, GUYANA, both UNASUR and the COMMONWEALTH would be quick to react...
That doesn't seem to be the case at the moment, though...
One thing I can assure you.....
UNASUR has no favourites in GUYANA...
Them East Indian Niggas, Black African Niggas and Amerindian Niggas...., are equals to us...
I do assume the same applies to the COMMONWEALTH...

Nov 14th, 2014 - 07:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The islanders have been making a profit, albeit a small one for years-so yes oil will be a bonus. For a country that produces 40% of its energy requirements from natural sources, and that is bound to increase, and can burn peat if all else fails, the oil is needed mostly for export. Agreed, even without oil the FI economy will survive and prosper as more industries will be created and if a major deep water port goes ahead the income will creep up and up and up.
What would really destroy the Falklands economy and consign the Falklands to poverty and debt forever, plus leave them at the mercy of any country wishing to invade, would be to become Argentine.
I wonder if HMG would consider siting their future spaceport (presumably for Skylon) at MPA? Though I'd like Lllanbedr to get it otherwise.

It has been alleged that the president of Argentina from 1868 to 1874, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, sought to wipe out blacks from the country in a policy of covert genocide through extremely repressive policies (including possibly the forced recruitment of Africans into the army and by forcing blacks to remain in neighborhoods where disease would decimate them in the absence of adequate health care
Nov 14th, 2014 - 09:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And they complain abt us,
perhaps Argentina has more dirty deeds in its past than it suggests.
as always-pot-kettle-black-
Yeah it is no wonder that Think is so liberal with the term 'nigga'. He was probably around when Argentina still had some.

Nov 15th, 2014 - 12:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0I really like your post; it's spot on. The deadbeats give the impression we are currently poverty-stricken (I guess that is a normal state for many Argies) and hanging on desperately to the prospect of oil and gas. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Personally I won't be heart-broken if it all goes away. Sure, I believe I will be better off if the black stuff starts to flow but I have no doubt that we'll survive and continue to prosper and diversify if it doesn't work out that way.
On another topic, it was really good to see that Vince Cable put a stop to the Gripen deal for the Argies. Another Argie deadbeat myth thrown out the window. The myth that the UK can have no influence over them.
When you think about it the UK is doing them Argies a favour. They would've just fucked those aircraft up if they got their hands on them anyway.
Chuckle chuckle.
Without maintenance they would literally fly them into the ground.

the fact here is: that fantasy oil well and that 4th class oil company are a joke.
and you thought you will be saved by the oil?
get a job, you lazy isleter.
I wish you and yours all the very best for 2015, because you are going to need it, I hope the Argie government ( or lack of ) changes and the next Government takes the bull by the horns and sorts your country out and of course leaves the Islets alone.We can but hope, shame that such a rich ( resourses ) country has such a fucked up economy but it may change who knows?
