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.
That certainly would be their aim Marky but will depend on how much cash they can raise...Toroa and Liz will have made some nervous in the city but a successful Ernest and flow test on sealion could see that change.
DES/RKH would have had to change their EIS for flow testing. DES never really had anything in their original because they said they would P&A all their wells and the chances of finding anything to test was very small!
