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.

..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.

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
