Rockhopper was established in 2004 with a strategy to invest in and undertake an offshore oil exploration programme in the North Falkland Basin. It was floated on AIM in August 2005. Rockhopper was the first company to make a commercial oil discovery in the Falklands. Today Rockhopper is the largest acreage holder in the North Falkland Basin, with interests in the Greater Mediterranean region.

You're on form this w/e Bb!!! Bad result on the Derby or bad weather in the southwest??? ;o)

lol.. can't decide which way this one will go, just my view..

at the moment the only way is up, with more drilling results to come. Another successful result from FOGL, DES and/or RKH and the Falklands will become like the Klondike gold rush!

I have now added Balerboy to my "Squelch" list.

Total and utter idiot, said to everyone to sell this at 90p as it was too high and has been talking total nonsense since.

Not many get on my squelch list, but you join the very few who are now, so I no longer have to endure seeing any of your ridiculous posts.

Bye bye Balerboy :) ! You take number 3 spot on my "squelched" poster list.

Users you currently have squelched

I read a book on the Klondike gold rush and not many people made it back rich, many of them lost their money in the whore houses and the gambling dens ,because there was not much else to do. But there were tales of men arriving back from the Klondike with suit cases full of gold dust.

the ones who made money were the sellers of tents and picks and shovels ..... i'm afraid they're not much use in the south atlantic

don't be so rotten to my friend emu - aka balerboy - he's just a poor west country boy who rakes for the moon

cynic that's folklore you forgot the bar keeps and hookers amongst others!

Balerboy,

I presume you are referring to the post of 'Proselenes' when you say "complete and utter bo**ocks.".

Perhaps if you explained WHY people might take more notice.
What is bo**ocks about it.

I will await your reply, as I consider adding you to my Squelch list.

lol...what do i know.....still think talk of billions of barrels is rubbish, would have been out of the ground years ago. quite happy to be squished. but i do think pro whats his name, goes on a bit with hypothetical claims of what might be...just like SEO days and look where we are now.

Balerboy just spend a hour and just have a read on what the BGS say about the NFB and then you will see that this is twice as big as the North Sea is and its in infant stage.

These are the people who know what they are talking about and have spent 20 years plus crunching data and independent studies.

The largest North Sea oilfield, the Forties, contained five billion barrels. But the British Geological Survey has pointed to the highly oil-prone nature of the Falklands source rock, estimating the north area of the islands alone contains some 60 billion barrels of oil.

I don't know about anyone else but I expected a nice rise this morning on the back of all the press over the weekend. Are investors nervous given Gulf disaster and Obama tryinh increases liability for oil companies? Are investors suspicous that the Ernest will be drilled before doing flow test on Sea Lion? Or is everyone hungover from yesterday and still in bed?......

No problem if they drill Ernest before the flow test with it's enhanced COS over Sealion....would prefer the flow test on Sealion first though, should Sam Moody consult me!

2 months to wait by the time Fogl have finished drilling Toroa...perhaps a little less 7 weeks...minimum...

Not correct rf:
"FOGL is pleased to announce that the Toroa F61/5-1 exploration well spudded on Monday 31st May 2010.......... Drilling operations are expected to take approximately 35 days"
Like RKH, they will know pretty much immediately if they have hit oil, but lab tests will take longer.

Plus the time it takes to tow the rig back to Ernest or Sealion....probably Ernest......another 10 days in fine weather.......reckon 7 weeks to cover it all...

You said 'finished drilling' not packed up & moved off site.

Yes, sorry Harrycat, should have made myself clearer....back to the other sites...I reckon 7 weeks will cover it all...

Looks like an sp pullback coming, crude also down......it has done incredibly well over the last 2 months....

2m shares traded already today, so looks lke the day traders still interested. I am not good enough with the candlestick charts to have a go today, particularly as the whole market is down. Hoping for FOGL to drop sub 180p.

Probably no news coming now for a few weeks so profit taking to kick in...sp might pull back to the upper 280's or so....can't go down too far but nothing rises forever...
