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.

so not a lot likely to happen until this time next month.

I look forward to the usual round of speculative posts on the possible/probable rise or fall in the RKH sp in the event of a duster or gusher!

Harry I don't!

chav Right on!

bet your bottom dollar Pro, will.....snore.,.

So the drilling plan is now :

Drill Ernest.
If nothing then proceed to Sea Lion.

If Ernest hits then proceed with flow testing of Ernest.
Then flow test Sea Lion.

Then the rig returns to DES to drill Rachel.

So if the Ernest well is dry then in 30 days we will know, allow another couple of weeks for moving, then 45 days flow testing Sea Lion.

If Ernest hits then it will be 30 days drilling Ernest, perhaps 21 days flow testing Ernest, couple of weeks transport, 45 days flow testing Sea Lion.


Still holding all, still not selling, still adding more :)

and the point of this post is....

RNS next week and we should see a steady price rise as they drill Ernest lets hope we hit 2 out of 2 and we have very good odds of that happening especially after Sea lion De risking the basin even more.

Come on the Rock!!!!

As the crow flies...any idea how far away the 2 wells are ?....Ernest-Sea Lion...

Do crows normally fly in straight lines or zigzag with the wind and air currents?

less than a couple of hours for a Wandering Albatross!

they squawk a lot!

If a crow flew in a straight line it might be around 120km I would guess from Ernest to Sea Lion.

Approx 60 miles for us Brits.

Approx 75 miles. (120 x 0.6214)

120k's is 75 miles but my guess is approx 60 miles looking at the degrees/minutes/secs of the two positions.

Looking at a better chart, I think I will go with Pro's 75 miles as well!

So you are talking nautical miles & not distance over ground? ;o)

and don't forget that waves go up and down too, so you have to take that into account!

Nautical miles Harry, of course, that the crow will paddle...apparently the crow broke it's wing playing tag last week.

Thank God you lot weren't there in '82! ROFL
