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.

Good luck markymar.

..Anadarko lines up for Rockhopper

By Jonathan Russell | Telegraph – 39 minutes ago




group Anadarko Petroleum (Stuttgart: 871766 - news) has joined the growing list of potential investors that could either team up with, or take over, Falkland Islands oil exploration company Rockhopper.

The company that worked with BP on its ill-fated Deepwater Horizon well in the Gulf of Mexico is understood to have sent a team to the Falkland Islands to examine options. Rockhopper has previously said it was looking at various options to fund the development of its Sea Lion reservoir. The options include debt-funding, an equity injection or a partnership on the well. However, market insiders believe the talks could lead to a takeover of Rockhopper.

Last week, Anadarko Petroleum is understood to have sent a team of executives to Port Stanley by private jet to examine possibilities of a tie- up. Although Rockhoppper's data room is not yet fully functioning the company has been holding talks about funding possibilities. The company has appointed Bank of America Merrill Lynch to advise on the funding.

Since then it has been linked with a number of potential investors including Cairn Energy (LSE: CNE.L - news) .

Rockhopper's discovery of the 500m-oilfield has attracted both renewed business and political interest in the islands.

The Argentinian government recently convinced fellow Mercosur members, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay to ban ships registered in the Falklands from docking in their ports.

David Cameron accused the Argentinian Government of "colonialism".

A spokesman for Rockhopper declined to comment.

markymar - 22 Jan 2012 20:55 - 5782 of 6294

Cheers dreamcatcher holding both at minute Desire and Rockhopper, I said 4 days ago the papers would pick up on what was going on in the Falklands……. blow me it’s all over never thought it would be this hyped up.

gibby - 22 Jan 2012 20:57 - 5783 of 6294

makes for an interesting day tomorrow and week ahead!

markymar - 22 Jan 2012 20:59 - 5784 of 6294

Strange that Anadarko Petroleum were over in the Falklands talking to RKH when Cameron spoke out.....i wonder why Gibby,never looked but tom will be very intresting maybe even an RNS the secret is out but how many are sitting round the table.


Jan. 18 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said the claim by Argentina to the Falkland Islands is “like colonialism” and pledged to keep the islands’ defenses
secure. “What the Argentinians are saying is far more like colonialism because these people want to remain British and the Argentinians want them to do something different,” Cameron told lawmakers in the House of Commons in London today. “The future of the Falkland Islands is a matter for the Falkland Islanders,” he said, “I’m determined we should make sure our defenses and everything else are in order.”

If RKH does race away remember a deal has to be done with Desire she is my dark horse in this.
Desires market cap is £89 million

Rockhopper market cap 930 million

Both have oil in Sea Lion prospect.

marky indeed - from the chatter i heard this was not strange at all hence my comments about argies prior to this - it needed cameron to make a statement like this to give andarko and others confidence enough to go fwd - it was pivotal (apparently!!) lol
done now so onwards and upwards - i also hear that beefing up of defences already in progress (apparently!!) roll on confirmation news as becomes public and with William due there soon maybe quicker than it normally would - William going there would be a massive boost of confidence - apparently special forces according to chatter i heard are already ahead of him there

gibby - 22 Jan 2012 21:09 - 5787 of 6294

the dreaded des - indeed!! it was rkh imo who threw des a lifeline when they were sinking

Balerboy - 23 Jan 2012 08:30 - 5788 of 6294

Going well this morning +25 wonder if it will hold later on.,.

markymar - 23 Jan 2012 08:38 - 5789 of 6294

We hear rumours all the time of takeover of companies in discussion but very hard to verifier this but this one has legs as they have been seen in the Falkland’s also out for meals, also DC speech the other day was so well timed.

If you get a huge American partner like Anadarko Petroleum it will shut the Argies up once and for all.

Balerboy - 23 Jan 2012 08:39 - 5790 of 6294

Dreamcatcher.......you made a speech.,.

gibby - 23 Jan 2012 09:14 - 5791 of 6294

Perhaps it is short for loligo - the immature squid off the Argentine coast that is causing the present squabble..........

avsec - 23 Jan 2012 10:04 - 5795 of 6294

Duplicate post

markymar - 23 Jan 2012 10:31 - 5796 of 6294

avsec you have had too many mussels bet its lovely down there today a great day for kite flying in Northumberland.

I would like to see a steady tick up as the day goes on I see RKH have not come out to denied all the press speculation….they can’t as its true.

RKH £3.50 +end of the day, DES 31p+ will be a happy chappy if so.

gibby - 23 Jan 2012 11:18 - 5798 of 6294

gibby - 23 Jan 2012 11:19 - 5799 of 6294
