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 nearly fell off my own chair reading all this banter!

I remember getting somewhat overexcited by RKH about a year ago and realise now that there is certainly a long lag-time between 'starting to drill' and making 'a [proven] discovery' - let alone getting the stuff to the surface... Meanwhile, I have grown significantly older if not wiser.

Cynic tells so many porkys that he opens the post with his nose.

BUt he is quite good at finding the odd truffle!

good mornng Toya .... am actually trying to do my biz e-mails, but office server is upgrading or something ..... if i am able to find truffles, it is surely only because they smell of sex?

cynic - i had great respect for your jugements, but now I'm wondering if your just a dirty old man??? lol

do you mind! .... i showered just last night, so i am definitely a clean but lecherous old goat!

: )) , The Falkland Islands will have there Day its just a matter of when ! Happy to wait , and at this Low price ..... Go on Cynic you may Just make a few Quid ; )

not likely .... and not likely ..... and probably not in my lifetime

that's a no then..

; 00 ..... Yep Looks like a No dealerdear, Bless the Old goat ; ))

why? ... did u think u might off-load a load your old shit onto me?

oh No Cynic ..... this and other FI will have there day soon enough ! ; )

"A sharp tongue does not mean you have a keen mind"....... a cynic

I bet your brain feels as good as new, seeing that you've never used it cynic.

You cant see the wood from the trees

Always the pessimist cynic? Is there no other oiler than TWL??

TLW, I meant.

HOIL will do for starters .... EO. as a gamble, but at least it operates in safe waters .... HAWK - is clearly being groomed to be taken out, though how far away that is, no one knows, and they only produce a bucketful a day at the moment

cynic if you press on the link it will take you to RKH web site where there is a cube with oil in which you can play with which might stimulate your brain a little.
http://www.rockhopperexploration.co.uk/exploration/falklands_oil_cube.php

The cube contains oil recovered from the Shell well 14/10-1 during the 1998 campaign,which is now RKH acerage so oil has been recoved.

"The well results confirmed the presence of one of the richest source rocks in the world (source: BGS)."

wowee! .... and how many years do you reckon it will take before this "oil eldorado" proves its reserves (and its quality) and can actually be exploited and the stuff brought on stream? ..... even taking the first bits as gospel, i would hazard a guess at 7/10 years

Cynic a guess? so you dont know what your talking about again,why dont you go away have a read on RKH web site then the BGS web site and then write something but try to put your brain in to gear first as you are sounding like a proper clown.

Your talking rubbish again the same man who said oil would have to be $100 to extract it out of the ground....wrong again!

Its quality?in the post above "The well results confirmed the presence of one of the richest source rocks in the world (source: BGS)."
SO either you cant read or as i thought just thick.

and how much of it? ..... and if it was so damn wonderful, don't you find it amazing that no one has yet got near to even thinking about drilling?.... if you are such a smart-arse, what level do reckon crude needs to be to make it worthwhile extracting, and even once found in commercial quantities, how long until it it will actually be flowing?
