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.

hali - buying anything in the resources sector is a risk, but a bigger fish gobbling up rkh does have at least reasonable logic insofar as rkh is no longer just a blue-sky company

I see that Pro is ramping Falkland oil & gas this morning

marky how much would a bidder have to pay to takeover RKH and then stump up 2billion to develop the oil assumed to be in place?

i assume your $2b is correct, but purely from gut feel, i would have thought 350-400, but arguably a bit more ..... and no, i have no idea how much that pans out to

Hal until we get CPR out next year we wont know the official figures of what sea lion holds it stands at 155 mill, we all know now unofficially it stands about 400 mill + I have always stated about 400 to 500 mill early on..first drill I was shouting them numbers please pull me up if am wrong.

I think personally with the next 2 drills we may get 700+ mill a ramp maybe but I have always tried not to ramp this as it does not need to its massive. This drill at moment will be huge if my friend who is a Geo is correct; nothing is for certain so I will wait for results.

If we can agree to 500 mill then anyone putting 4 billion pounds in to a 50% stake of sea lion is $4 a barrel in the ground cheap as chips

2 billion for production 2 billion for RKH to carry on exploring there vast acreage.

Call it in size 250 mill barrels it only $ 8 a barrel I have not seen a field sell for less than $8 a field anywhere.

The only risk at moment is waiting for the CPR report in thinking what the final figures will be!

Money will follow the oil, greed always kicks in so will a hungry partner with big pockets will come

Just out today well worth a read.

Great news....she is huge as i thought.....

Well 14/10-9 Update

"We are delighted to be able to confirm our second oil discovery in the Basin along with another successful appraisal well on Sea Lion"

So how big is she, the sp jump I mean.

Guesses?

Sequestor,

The drillers drilled this well quicker that MoneyAm put out the RNS (still not out).

Here is the moneyam link - Well 14/10-9 Update

Bet this goes straight into auction.

Not a big jump then?

I forgive it, away it goes.

Half a billion barrels recoverable, minimum....my guess...
