    Falklands' Sea Lion development delayed responding to oil market conditions

    Rockhopper expects 29 wells to be drilled under Phase 1, including 12 prior to first oil, with production ramping up to a plateau of around 85,000 b/d

    Rockhopper Exploration is responding to market developments by reducing staffing levels and activity related to the Sea Lion development in the offshore North Falkland basin. The company plans to maintain a smaller team, mainly focused on regulatory, fiscal and financial issues, pending a recovery in the external macro-environment.
