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.

I think Roy might have been his surname

It was Violet Carson and then Harry Hudson. :o) .

Derek Roy hosted the british version 1955

Now what was the name of that oil company we were talking about ?

Some information on Argos Resources which will be coming to the market to raise some money. Their acreage is just opposite RKH and down from des DES.

I will set a thread up when we get more information.

Apparently Argos are struggling with their fundraising at the moment.

Am not surprised as there on about drilling in 2012.......they need to pull there finger out with the 3D and jump on the back of the OG.

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.

I dont know if you picked up on DES and RKH submiting changes to their EIS?

Next few months could change everthing big time fingers crossed.

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!

A useful map with locations on, thanks to ARG :)

That helps enormously.
Marky
Would you consider changing the map in the header so that we don't have to go back to this post in the future?

Agree Avsec.. very helpful map... makes you realise how far away ernest is from last discovery with liz in-between.....makes you wonder if oil will be struck..only time will tell.,.

Avsec.... Done and updated header info.

marky - i think you're pretty positive on ernest, but tend to agree with BB, so please enlighten

Johnson Gas discovery and Sealion Oil discovery are kissing distance apart so why should Ernest, being 75 miles away from sealion, be a problem?

Ernest, like all the rest of the targets, could be Gas/Oil or feck all....such is life with HC exploration!

Marky that's great!
Many thanks

Think i'd have more confidence if rachel were being drilled.,,.

Of course this comment today from Argos

........Argos Resources reckons that approximately 30% of the Johnson Gas discovery, drilled by Shell in 1998 but only declared as a discovery by Rockhopper Exploration in 2009, extends into Licence PL001. Argos Resources has not had the benefit of access to Rockhopper Explorations 3D seismic or any of their proprietary studies and will no doubt have to enter negotiations with Rockhopper Exploration on the subject in due course........


Now means that should Argos wish, they will pay likely 30% of any costs for this discovery in future. It has no value now for RKH in the equations, but in a few years time you never know, for now, oil is the focus.
