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.

US oil company makes 1.6bn dollars offer for Falklands’ Rockhopper:

cynic.
It would appear to remove Cairn as a suitor for RKH.
(Resource allocation)

nothing new there - they were never going to be interested

as usual, nothing like what the headline purported!!

Anadarko made a provisional offer to invest nearly 1.6 billion dollars in Rockhopper.

chart suggests a 420 inititial target.
take partial profits if applicable
dont be greedy. just my observation and suggestion should it happen.

A none serious post, but you need a laugh sometimes.

I bet our penguin (Rockhopper) will fly much higher than this.

DES = Blue , FOGL = RED , RKH = Green.

ref my post 5812
had i looked and been following earlier i may have made the same post suggestion but with a 340 initial target instead of 420.my original comments still stand. a pull back may now follow, or it may not. dont be greedy, anyway from a chartist outlook we now have the possibilty of a chart pattern WITHIN a pattern. always nice. a sort of fractal.it still has to take out that 380 high but i do still have a target of 420 based on current chart indications.
dangerous to buy in now but for existing holders it may help provide various exit/hold/ sell strategies depending on ones investment criteria and upon price movement maybe based on a breaking of neck lines or trend lines or maybe even on money management rules.
whatever happens or whatever price decides to do and whatever you decide, good luck.
all just my opinion of course and hope it might help some.

I reckon that one of the main players is about to farm into this heavily.....

all a bit harrowing

rf.
why you reckon that i dont know. you might well be right. or not.
just know that charts and money management work for me.
regards and good luck

Because of Anadarko rumours and secondly it probably is the only way forward for Rockhopper, as they would have to raise money and expertise....the big boys have both of that.

Falklands’ oil industry says first round of exploration was “hugely successful”
Falklands’ oil industry sources said the round of oil exploration began in 2010 with the “Ocean Guardian” rig and just concluded, involving Rockhopper Exploration and Desire Petroleum, was “hugely successful” with several major oil and gas discoveries


The comments follow on reports from London saying Energy Secretary Chris Huhne stated that the initial oil explorations in the waters surrounding the Falkland Islands were “disappointing,” although he indicated the course may change in the future.

During an energy debate in the House of Commons on Thursday, Tory MP for Romford Andrew Rosindell asked the minister “Have you made an assessment of the energy sources that may or may not be available in some of the British overseas territories? Particularly, I refer to the Falkland Islands.”

“It is indeed the case that there is exploration under way. Some of the initial exploration that was undertaken in territorial waters of the Falkland Islands was disappointing but that of course may change in the future,” the Secretary said.

“We don’t know exactly the source of the news or in what context, but to be clear Rockhopper with its Sea Lion field was hugely successful. But if Minister Huhne did say that then he needs to be corrected”, pointed out the Falklands oil industry sources.

For almost two years several Falklands’ government licensed companies have probed the area surrounding the Islands.

With the return this month to Scotland of the “Ocean Guardian” Desire Petroleum and Rockhopper have ended their first round, but a second rig “Leiv Eiriksson” has just arrived to drill several exploratory wells for Borders & Southern and Falkland Oil and Gas, mainly to the south and east of the Falklands.

Meanwhile Rockhopper has appointed Bank of America Merrill Lynch to lead the process of finding a partner for its 2 billion dollars oil project in the North Falkland basin Sea Lion field, one of the largest discoveries made in the region so far, with recoverable reserves estimated at nearly 500m barrels of oil.

Apparently several international companies are interested in teaming up with Rockhopper and the Sunday Times reported that Texas based Anadarko is in talks “that may lead to a takeover of the company”.

Rockhopper has said it plans to start commercial production in 2016 when it hopes to develop the Sea Lion field with a giant oil tanker moored over it. The ship will be fitted with a drilling rig and have the capacity to store up to three million barrels of oil, which would be offloaded to other tankers.

According to Houston press reports Anadarko made a provisional offer to invest nearly 1.6 billion dollars in Rockhopper and four Anadarko executives flew to Port Stanley recently to meet with the UK explorer, and one said that the provisional offer to invest in Rockhopper’s Sea Lion discovery and develop it is “on the table”.

HMS Protector reaches Antarctica, visits Uruguayan and Argentine bases
HMS Protector, the Royal Navy's new ice patrol ship, has arrived in Antarctica for the first time after her long sail south from Portsmouth. Her arrival, via Montevideo in Uruguay, coincided with the centenary of the Royal Navy's Captain Scott reaching the South Pole.
