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 your not Capt Markymar doing the traffic on Metro Radio then?!

Rockhopper Exploration plc (AIM: RKH), the North Falkland Basin oil and gas exploration company, is pleased to announce that the Ernest 26/6-1 Exploration Well was spudded at 05.15hrs BST on 23 July 2010.



The Ernest prospect is located on Licence PL024. Rockhopper will drill Ernest as operator with a 100% interest. The well is being drilled to an estimated target depth of circa 2,400 metres. Drilling operations are expected to take approximately 30 days and a further announcement will be made once drilling is completed.



Ernest is being drilled using the fourth rig slot in the overall drilling programme of the Ocean Guardian rig. On completion of the Ernest 26/6-1 Exploration Well, it is currently anticipated that the Ocean Guardian will return to Rockhopper's Sea Lion 14/10-2 Well (100% Rockhopper) to conduct flow testing on the oil discovery.

LONDON, July 23 (Reuters) - Rockhopper Exploration Plc : * Ernest 26/6-1 exploration well spud * Well is being drilled to an estimated target depth of circa 2,400 metres * Drilling operations are expected to take approximately 30 days

Perhaps a pint in the Golden Lion then marky?

TD should be 20 to 25 days IMO.

30 days will be with logging complete.

Therefore somewhere from 12th August onwards there could be "rumours".

Its a duster

Chav i pop in most Friday nights, your son still playing football?

Pro i had my eye on 20days + for this one

50% of that being a correct call? .... perhaps even 65/70% ..... that would certainly whack sp if true, but at least RKH has one decent find under its belt which is good insurance

sorry did someone on here ask me what i cleaned my TV with ?

Cynic looks like you have your stalker
