Brit oil strike

EXCLUSIVE
By DAVID WILLETTS

Published: 34 minutes ago

A HUGE oil discovery has been made in the Falklands, sources claimed last night.

The find, by a British-backed company, could contain up to a BILLION barrels of “black gold” an insider revealed.

The strike, off the Falklands’ southern coast, was made by oil explorer Borders and Southern.

It has been tight-lipped about the discovery — but shares have soared on growing rumours. Borders was unavailable for comment last night but Foreign Office officials refused to deny the news.

The latest find follows a.....................................

If true the moment is of national importance and might have to be confirmed by the prime minister himself during the day !...(tomorrow I presume after rns).....I myself will fall of my stool if correct....

RF. its probably why no RNS last week, the government might have slapped a D-Notice on it to get their stuff sorted out. Now thats done BOR are free to release the news :)

You really belive this news....I hope so...but still have doubts....gas...yes...I presume they have discovered some and a working petroleum system yes...but a billion barrels ?.....how reliable is the source ...There will probably be more leaks today I presume if true....

Government has also signaled "ignore the Argentine nonsense".

If confirmed : there will be a mention in the commons next week plus I reckon that Sterling might just increase against other currencies a little bit, early in the week....the equivalent of another North Sea......it would have dramatic consequences for the Falklands and the UK as a whole....jobs....and the balance of payments .....fingers crossed that it's correct...

It will have a dramatic effect on my portfolio which is massively loaded with FOGL and then quite a few BOR as well !! :)

Ditto....if confirmed....I'll believe it when I see it.....

FOGL has the biggest licenses, BOR are second. RKH might be third or equal with DES.

Just look at this map to show how BIG FOGL AND BOR license area's are.

DES light blue
RKH green
BOR Orange
FOGL Pink
ARG Small one in the top left hand corner.

The area is vast.....fascinating pdf presentation on FOGL website.....

calm down - it's all only guesswork for now

Yes....how reliable is that article from the sun ?....

as the saying goes don't believe everything you read in the newspapers!

gas or oil...?....or both ?

looks like a lot of gas to me but will it make the SP shoot up as i think they preferred an oil strike

i think not - see my comment on bor

It does not say what kind of liquid which means either oil (heavy or light) or gas condensate
