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.

Apparently it is a RNS concerning the pressure encountered down the well. Rumour is that the pressure was above expectations. I reiterate, rumour only at this point.

Good pressure + 19% porosity = likely commercial find.
Fingers crossed for good news on that front, thats key to moving it up to a new higher level for now.

cynic - 06 May 2010 17:36 - 647 of 701 ...lol....SFB is a lot deeper and only Toroa can be drilled with the OG type Rig. All the other targets require a very expensive Drill ship or higher spec, non anchoring, semi-sub...BOR also require higher spec Rig for it's very deep targets.

I'm quite sure most who say to take the profit today will certainly continue posting. You seem to know little about the oilfield BTW, but I'm thinking this is due to your current euphoria overcoming logic.

Cynic...NFB much shallower than SFB.

obviously i need to learn to read ocean charts then!
i assumed 500m was deeper than 100m - see map at top

The map above shows all NFB i.e. DES/RKH/Argos areas...it is confusing having said map labeling the Southern section of the NFB as Southern Basin!

thanks marky, but Sealion is close to 500m contour which, as i (stupidly?) commented, sounds a lot deeper than 200m

No....could be a non commercial well....but the future of drilling in the falklands looks assured.

Also don't forget, rf, that you are our first line of defense should the Argies kick off, so save some of the profit for your travel expenses! ;o)
