Argos Resources Ltd is an AIM quoted oil and gas exploration company based in the Falkland Islands, ideally placed to make the most of an exciting new oil province heading towards production.
Argos holds a 100% interest in Licence PL001, which covers approximately 1,126 square kilometres in the North Falkland Basin. The licence boundary is just 3km from the Sea Lion oil field, a significant discovery on course for production start-up in 2017.
New 3D seismic data of excellent quality was acquired over the entire licence area in 2011 and has identified 52 prospects with a best estimate of 3,083 million barrels of prospective recoverable resource, and a high estimate of 10,412 million barrels. 40 additional leads have been identified which are not included in the above resource figures and which are the subject of ongoing work.
The Company is now seeking an exploration partner to drill a selection of key prospects to unlock the value of this exciting opportunity.
