OIL or GAS find?
Borders & Southern to Announce Falklands Gas Find,
Times Reports - By Jesse Westbrook - Apr 22, 2012 9:43 AM
Borders & Southern Petroleum Plc (BOR), a U.K. energy explorer operating in the Falkland Islands, may announce a gas find within days, the Sunday Times said, citing an unidentified person close to the company.
The gas discovery was made at a well about 100 miles southeast of the Falklands that Borders & Southern began drilling in January, the newspaper reported. Borders & Southern declined to comment on whether it found gas reserves, the Sunday Times said.
Borders & Southern shares jumped 55 percent on April 18 amid speculation the company had made a discovery.

gas is most assuredly not oil though it is better than nothing ..... however, i would expect sp to tumble pretty badly, but could be proved wrong ..... how fogl will react is even less certain

Lovely - a condensate discovery and massive one as well, no wonder BOR are pleased to announce it !

Condensate sells for a premium to Brent Crude.
A billion barrels of condensate - well ........... worth even more than a billion barrels of API32 crude.
The Times was half right, The Sun was half right.
Its not dry gas as The Times could have been taken for, and its not Crude Oil that The Sun said - however, its liquid gasoline in effect - more valuable than Brent crude and 26 square kilometers of it with very thick net pay.
Well done BOR and all !! no need to build an LNG plant like those East African finds - this comes out as condensate, beautiful !! :)
Opens the basin and not only wonderful news for BOR, but great news for FOGL with now a proven working hydrocarbon system in the South Falklands for the first time.

I would think that the sp will be volatile....it does mean that much more is to be discovered.....not a bad first well outcome.....

i know i am singularly stupid, but how can GAS condensate be more valuable than oil?

Hey...it says pay zone and liquid content.....it does not mention what kind of liquid ...so ?...gas or oil...is it me or am I not reading this right ?...condensate is expensive I know that....

Condensate is liquid oil as well, but very high API, if you like over 45 API.
Its the top end stuff - if you like its half refined oil - liquid gasoline.
As its all top end stuff its very easy to refine and so more valuable than Brent Crude.

sort of understood and thanks for some elucidation ..... i thought LOWER API was the better .... anyway, sit and watch time, though i would expect many PIs to be as thick as me, but the opening bell will give the clue
