Nov 21st, 2014 - 09:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is just the beginning-one day the Islanders will have a proper deep water port you'd better make the most of your shipping trade while you can.
And remember-you wanted to isolate the Islands-hasn't quite worked out has it?
When's Ms Cunningham receiving her arrest warrant and when is she going to be arrested by Interpol and taken in chains to stand trial in Argentina?
Still waiting......................

they are only 2 or 3 tiny little oil companies, only known by their failures & accidents: noble and premier .
the funny thing is they dont even have the funds to extract mud.
”...made the official opening of the temporary dock facility (TDF)...”

Nov 21st, 2014 - 10:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Baaaaad news for the Engrish Pirate Oil Exploitation in the South Atlantic...:
”Credit Suisse has cut its investment rating on Premier Oil (LON:PMO) to ‘neutral’ from ‘outperform’ stating that, based on its revised assumptions, it sees production and CFFO experiencing no growth until 2018 (Catcher) and no material growth until 2019, when it reckons Sea Lion will begin to ramp up.
The broker added: “The Falklands exploration from 2Q-4Q15 is make or break. If successful, PMO's acreage could become an attractive, strategic asset. If disappointing, a Sea Lion sale could become difficult.”
Analysts have cut their target price to 283 pence a share from 355 pence.
Earnings per share estimates have been slashed to US$0.28 (from US$0.50) for fiscal year 2015 and to US$0.29 (from US$0.40) for 2016.
At 3:41pm: (LON:PMO) Premier Oil PLC share price was -13.9p at 232.1p”

Nov 21st, 2014 - 10:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argos, Borders and southern, Falkland oil and gas, Noble, Rockhopper, Premier
good luck to them. Infratructure being put in place as we speak, have just Googled SNOOZEBOX and see that they work worldwide so they will have good accommadation when they arrive to drill for oil. Premier rose 10p today to close at £2.42 Think shares go up and go down, but my bet is they will go up when Zebedee and Isabel Deep come in. How is the investment campaign getting on for PATO MUERTE ( because that is what it is a DEAD DUCK )

Nov 22nd, 2014 - 12:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0And poor Think, still trying to deny that money is being spent for oil exploration in the Falkland Islands.
“The South-American denial of services to the Anglo Pirate Oil Adventure in the South Atlantic is working all right...”
Because of increased costs? Still cheaper than being part of the Argentine economy.
But nice to see the goalposts have now moved from stopping oil exploration just to making it more expensive.
Yup, 2014 draws to a close and the Falkland Islands are still NOT Argentine.
Another year gone. All those millions spent by BsAs to try and gain the Islands and stop oil exploration.... wasted!
The dock is there. Argentina didn't stop it.
I think I will err less if I only call England.

Nov 22nd, 2014 - 12:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0“[Britain] lost more than $ 250 billion dollars in trade with Brazil in the last 10 years”
Where did you get this “fact” from?
UK exports to Brazil are currently around US$5.6 billion per year. So that could extrapolate out to US$56 billion over a decade.
For a country that exports US$820 billion per year....... $5.6 billion is chump change.
The UK does US$1.6 TRILLION in trade per year. Or $16 TRILLION over a decade.
$250 billion is only around 1.5% of $16 trillion in trade.
1.5%
bahahahahahahahahahahah! Yeah big loss.

it is easy
Nov 22nd, 2014 - 11:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0just 2 poor bankrupt companies in malvinas while you have more than 100 top class oil companies in vaca muerta.
now, how is that possible?
because vaca muerta is the biggest shale oil field in the world.
and because if you want to be part of that joke in the fucklands, you will not be allowed to be part of vaca muerta.
that´s why not even bp are involved in that fantasy oil well in the islets.

It's an insult to the intellect, of those who still think freely - surely they must be seeing Argentina becoming a Socialist Paradise, just like Venezuela and North Korea.

“The official opening of the temporary dock facility is an important milestone and an icon of the future exploration campaign”,
Nov 23rd, 2014 - 07:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0That says it all really. On the other hand, what has the government of Argentina been doing over the last few years?
Hector goes to the UN to complain, he declares that UN Resolutions 18, 33, 19 and 82 settle the matter in Argentina’s favour.
The Argentine lawmakers pass laws that make the usurpation of the Falklands legal and official. They declare that oil companies operating in the Falklands are illegal and threaten prosecution.
Mr Filmus, minister without a territory, travels around the world and declares world wide support for Argentina. He declares that the project is impossible without ‘mainland support’. He doesn’t have the courage to say ‘Argentine support’.
With great fanfare Filmus rolls out project ‘Blue Pampas’ a weird attempt to extend Argentine sovereignty across great swathes of the South Atlantic ocean, including of course, all British territories in the area.
Filmus doesn’t have the courage to personally confront the Falkland Islanders, hiding instead behind UN resolutions. During a recent visit to the UK he does not speak to the UK Government preferring instead to sneak into the UK and talk to some newspaper.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, planning and exploration of the Falkland Islands oil project goes ahead and now they have the dock facility installed.
Wow how did that happen? How could the detractors and naysayers get it so wrong?
The Falkland Island oil project is operating and progressing in defiance of Argentine law. Argentine policy on the Falkland’s is in complete disarray, all the delusion and the lies have got them nowhere. Blue Pampa looks like a dead parrot. Do they have the wit to even feel embarrassed by their policy failure?
If they had behaved in a sensible, civilised manner it could have been very different for them, Argentina - the land of the own goals.
