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.

Rockhopper Exploration plc Reports Unaudited Consolidated Earnings Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2008
11/18/2008
Rockhopper Exploration plc reported unaudited consolidated earnings results for the six months ended September 30, 2008. For the period, the company incurred a loss of $1,183,000 or 1.50 cents loss per basic and diluted share compared to loss of $725,000 or 0.96 cents per basic and diluted share for the same period a year ago. The loss has increased over the comparative period primarily as a function of an increase in administrative expenses and the charge for share based remuneration. Finance income for the period increased to $195,000 against $160,000 for the year 2007 due to the greater level of funds on deposit following the placing in May.

This is 'not' a ramp for Shell.
Don't usually post on here as a holder with FKL, but having seen many posts on several sites mentioning the possible correlation between lack of investment in new fields and the drop in oil price, the following article effect all oil exploration/supply companies.
Shell reported yesterday that although the price of oil is lower than it has been for some time, they will not allow the price to effect their exploration programme. They are looking to maintain their dividend and will if required increase their gearing in order to do so.
Not posting this to ramp Shell (I don't hold Shell shares or at present intend to buy), but just to show that although oil prices are on a recent low, oil companies need to plan many years ahead in order have availability when required.
Obviously the majors have the cash to invest in the future almost at will, but smaller minnows such as Fogl, Des, Rkh etc can not afford to step back whilst demand slackens.
They can not afford to slow down in the race for oil.

the majors will be more interested in swallowing "real" companies like HOIL and TLW and PMO rather than some twopenny-halfpenny E&P company with nothing but blue sky

lying about what?
that none of the 3 companies i mention have proper flowing oil?
that RKH, FOGL etc etc are just diddly-squat blue sky companies?
that majors will be more interested in buying companies that have already done the hard work and are productive?
my stance has been consistent on this issue for a very long time, even when i held no oilies at all so please specify your gripe.

you're very quiet markymar ..... why would that be?
i just love peeps like you who tell me i am just touting the likes of TLW and PMO and HOIL and should buy AMER or RKH of FOGL instead ..... i don't think so!!!! .... but then, to use your own phrase, you're so thick you can't even understand the basics

as always you are totally incapable of anwsering a question ... if a porky is a lie, then where have i lied? .... and if you are capable of answering that one, unlikely as that might be, please tell us all what you consider to be touting (unwarranted recommendation) about reminding you and others of 3 companies in which i happen to own shares, that are doing very well - whereas RKH assuredly is not, and for good reason

as suspected, you are only capable of being infantile and clearly totally incapable of sensibly defending your corner, merely believing, through self-delusion, that further abuse strengthens your line of attack .... pathetic
