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.

Dril-Quip (DRQ +1%) says it has entered into a front end engineering and design contract with Premier Oil (OTCPK:PMOIF), firming up a prior agreement to provide subsea production systems for the Sea Lion Phase 1 Development offshore the Falkland Islands.

DRQ estimates the value of the equipment portion of the scope of work is $207M, which includes plans for as many as 30 subsea production systems.

Under the frame agreement, DRQ is expected to provide vendor financing for up to 30% of the equipment portion of the contract.
