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 am not a holder of fogl in any respect and have no wish to be
i only hold rkh in this region, and am currently showing a very nice profit

logic is as follows, and as posted a couple of weeks back ....

if fogl fluke a find - chances are usually something like 5:1, but in unknown territory, more realistic to say 8 or 10 or even 12:1 - then rkh will also benefit
there will also be plenty of opportunity to jump on board after the event.

if fogl get a duster or a non-commercial find - the most likely outcome - then fogl will be badly hit, but rkh will only a dip a bit

i don't play roulette, even when the odds are a bit better than at that that mug's game

Whats happening with the trade's 111,111,111,

I think that as BOR drilling gets closer and closer, that sp should rise....

Loligo prospect has a 10% COS so very slim chance that oil is there....keep chasing your rainbows Pro.

RKH is an investment as oil and gas has been found,FOGL is a gamble and a very poor one at 10%.

glad I'm out this is going back to 260p.,.

so my (un)educated guess of "chances are usually something like 5:1, but in unknown territory, more realistic to say 8 or 10 or even 12:1" wasn't far off the mark then

UK tells Mercosur it will resist any attempts to coerce the Falklands

baler i think you did the sensible thing at this moment in time - rkh will continue to slide imo for the time being - obvious thing is so simple - sell now and buy back later when sp is likely to be sub 250 imo

and beware the squid wars the argentines have started with the falklands - that is a crafty argy step against the falklands and getting news in SA - other factors other than oil here and lets hope there is no more turning oil into water in this region!! gla

Thanks gib, think it was the right thing too, I've also sold the last two batches I bought for a profit in gkp as I think this will drift a little again into the 250's later today.

good stuff baler & agreed - if not today quite soon

VSA Capital says the oil and gas sector will provide investment opportunities in 2012
Friday, January 13, 2012 Malcolm Graham-Wood from VSA Capital talks to Proactive Investors and considers the investment outlook for the oil and gas sector. Malcolm looks as Gulf Keystone Petroleum (LON:GKP), Ophir Energy (LON:OPHR) and Rockhopper (LON:RKH), all of which he says are undervalued.


I thinki can live with £7 a share

Markymar,

Excellent listen.

Cairn interest in RKH according to Danny (the man hated by many DES holders) at the Sunday Times.

Looks like trying to drum up sum industry interest ahead of the data room opening.

.

What is the point of posting the same posts on two Rockhopper sites. I cannot see the point.

Sunday Times talks about Cairn's interest in Falklands explorer Rockhopper.. I hear Amerada Hess and BP have also logged interest
about 3 hours ago

hmmmmm

Cairns / BP interested - but Pro is NOT!

Today could be a very interesting day! Already through 300

Desire should follow in price as any deal should have them sitting round the table.poor pro

A bit quiet on the Baler and Gibby front today - but hey - who knows - it could plummet! LOL

From today's FT:
"Rockhopper Exploration, the oil and gas company focused on the Falkland Islands, has started work on plans to find a partner to develop a big oil discovery in the South Atlantic, in a move which may also lead to a sale of the Aim-listed explorer. Any new partner will have to weigh up the political risk of entering the Falklands, which remain a flashpoint in relations between Britain and Argentina. Buenos Aires continues to claim sovereignty over the islands it calls Las Malvinas, and has been highly critical of the recent drilling campaign there. Last year, Mercosur, the South American trade bloc, banned Falkland-flagged ships from docking in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay. Last year Rockhopper held informal talks with Cairn Energy about entering the Sea Lion project, the people said, but they did not result in a deal. The two are not currently in talks, though contacts between the two companies could be renewed in the coming weeks. Indian and Korean oil companies are also expected to show an interest, one of the people said."
