Falklands oil drilling campaign takes off with spudding on the Zebedee prospect
Premier Oil spudded its first 2015 Falklands drilling campaign well, 14/15-5, using the Eirik Raude semisubmersible drilling rig on the Zebedee prospect on 6 March. The well, on license PL004b, will test a total of seven stacked fan bodies with varying geological chances of success (GCoS) of 9-52%. Read full article

Mar 06th, 2015 - 10:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Marcos: “I suggest we post links to 10 year old online news site stories about the decline in Falklands penguins”
Think: “I suggest we say there is no commercial oil in them islands”
Axel: “I suggest we say they are thieves for taking our oil”
Paulie: “I suggest we do what we always do and just barge in with no plan at all and abuse the shit out of everybody”
This will be a very interesting year here in the islets.

You forgot them quoting random stock price movements.

”Obviously this is (insert here, of your choice), a CIA/MOSSAD/Vulture Fund/ISIS/opposition party, PLOT to 'destabilise the govt..... 'an attack on our democracy' , becoz colonialist bastard British pirates who started the 1982 War by forcing us to accept a Junta that attacked them, thus causing us to be eternal victims, which is why we won't pay our debts, and everybody hates us anyway, so you can't play with my Barbie doll anymore, so Nnnneeerrrrrrr!”
That's what I am hearing. Is the white-noise the same where you are?
And in February 2010 the Argentine Foreign Minister threatened to take 'legal action in the international courts' against UK oil companies drilling in Falkland waters. Funny that Argentina is eager to use the ICJ over the Pulp Mills and the American default holdouts but not the great Malvinas lie. Chuckle chuckle.

Well, I'm still waiting to see any International Arrest Warrants brought against said companies... (2010).
2015, now. Any news from where you are?
hmm... I can't find anything....
;-)
Any oil yet?

Mar 07th, 2015 - 08:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0Oil? Oil? How do you think that the FALKLANDS drifted away from Argentina, it is floating on oil, I would say suck it up but the FALKLANDERS are going to do that in 2019. Looking forward to that. We will watch the share price movement in the few months that drilling is taking place. Are you not jealous that the FALKLANDERS are going to be extremely rich soon? Just think if your government had not torn up the agreements you too could be part of this bonanza.TOODLEPIP OLD SPORT.
#1 LOL! I can just imagine their sad faces!
Mar 07th, 2015 - 08:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Personally I won't be bothered either way: oil or no oil. We're not counting on it and we're not letting the government's operational budget increase on the back of the huge win falls we're currently experiencing from all of the exploration activity. Same with the private sector; the majority of the businesses providing logistical support are run by experienced old hands that know the reality.
Mar 07th, 2015 - 09:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0I Just love hearing the Malvinista deadbeats who, let's face it, are desperate that oil in commercial quantities doesn't start flowing.
So no oil yet Marcos but keep on hoping for us, won't you.
I just love these oil exploration campaigns. Brings out the best in our Argentine friends, sour grapes and all that are hugely entertaining. Can't wait for Mrs Think to appear to lend her support.
Mar 07th, 2015 - 09:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0The most amusing thing of all is that the Falkland Islanders don't actually need the revenue from the oil. They can survive quiet easily without it.
Mar 07th, 2015 - 10:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0On the other hand the Argentine government is DESPERATE for oil, but is too corrupt, stupid and broke to be able to get any out of Argentina, so they look with envious eyes to the Falkland Islands.
By the time these wells become viable, the oil prices will have begun to rise again, and the revenue the Falkland Islands will get will make them very, very, very rich indeed.
But unlike in Argentina, the revenue from this oil bonanza, will be spent on improving the lives of ALL the people of the Falkland Islands, and may be the starting point for them to move forwards to complete independence.
Maybe the next Argentine government will be more capable and less corrupt than the current one, but given their track record it's doubtful.
So the jealous bile will continue from Argentina as the hugely successful Falkland Islands and its people enjoy success, prosperity and the prospect of a very, very bright future.
Question to our resident Anglo Oil Investment Expert, Mr. Beef...:
Mar 07th, 2015 - 11:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0RNS says...:
“No drill stem testing is planned during the campaign.”
Any idea why???

Ps................., Mercopress gets it wrong......................, again
They say...:
“Premier Oil, which had been looking to develop Sea Lion with an FPSO, is currently progressing a lower cost phased development plan, involving a Tension Leg Platform...”
They should have said...:

Spot on think, so you realise at last there is oil in the Islets then?

But up from 18p not so very long ago Mrs Think.
Mar 07th, 2015 - 02:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Investing in FOGL can hardly be described as a get rich quick scheme which is why Argentine Government Ministers wouldn't be interested.
Bet you're proud of your boy Kissitoff.

Perhaps they should speak to Rockflopper.
Then Stink can let us know every time the share price goes up a fraction of a percent.

They will still shriek the same lies, but no-one will be able to hear them.
I expect MercoPress will become very quiet when the trolls retreat under the bridge to feed on each other's corpses...
Such is life....
.... just imagine, it could have all been so different in a Bolivarian Socialist Paradise....

LOL!

Prove it.
Prove they are all incapable of complex, or even basic tasks.
Prove they are all work-shy.
Prove they have an obesity problem across the whole population.
Prove they are all worthless human beings, without charity or kindness in their hearts.
Go on. Prove it.
links to peer-reviewed academic sources or globally-respected news organisations please, for each subject you raised.
or shut up.
Failure to do either. (provide proof/ or shutting up), will just show the world what a silly little boy your are with your playground insults.
Agreed.

That would be unacceptable in Argentina, who's economic aims are to lose money.
these also matters: contamination of our sea and taking unilateral decissions involving resources of a territory in dispute.
