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.

Nautical miles Harry, of course, that the crow will paddle...apparently the crow broke it's wing playing tag last week.

Thank God you lot weren't there in '82! ROFL

Cynic

The crow will be flying not swimming , no need to bother about the waves.

As water goes down the plughole in the opposite direction in the Southern Hemisphere, perhaps the crows don't follow the same flight pattern as here? I think we should form a research committee & ask for government funding.

they fly anti-clockwise too!

Given the standard of some peoples research on RKH on this thread, I think funding would be hard to come by...except Pro and Marky of course!

i research nothing and have always admitted as much, but sure as hell marky does

Spud RNS tomorrow for Ernest...my little bit of research!

I will go for Monday RNS......

L2 there is nothing there on apart from fresh air all the way up to 3.38 so i think this baby is going to motor today.

Anchors are down marky...fine weather window.

50p says RNS tomorrow

I was told the OG was going great guns as had the swell in her favour but thought she get there late tonight or tomorrow and then run anchors which will take 24 hours hence Monday RNS if all goes well.



Come on the Rock!!!!

RNS may not make the opening tomorrow morning but should be out at some time during the day...I'll plum for 9am.

odds would be no rns before close of biz tomorrow to keep everything fair

Still have 50p on the table for tomorrow RNS.

Can you lot stop talking about how far the crow flies, and anything to do with birds. The last time one flew over me (a seagull) it Cr**ed all over my fish and chips, so not a good omen.

It's a very good omen if a bird dumps on you. Meant to be very good luck in western culture. Not good for your supper as bird poo is very alkaline!
"When Bird Droppings Land On Your Head
Many people believe this to be a major sign of wealth coming from heaven. Hence, although, it is really yucky and a major inconvenience, when something like this happens to you, take comfort in the fact that this is described as good luck being just around the corner! In fact, most things associated with birds tend to spell good fortune, such as when birds fly to your home and start making nests in and around your house. While bats bring abundance, birds bring good news and opportunities. Birds are also said to be powerful protectors and guardians. Even crows are said to be messengers of the Gods. "

Heard the above before re Birds. Its about as true as its lucky to run over a black cat, or something like that.

The 'Bird' thing, might though as you say be a luck omen. It was not till I had posted, that I remembered 'Rockhopper' is a penguin.

On a serious note.....A lot can happen in world events in the time period between now and the finish of the next well drilling by Rockhopper.
The strange thing is that Oil is one of those things that can increase in value per barrel, due to both good news and bad.
In good times, people/countries tend to be better of financially and therefore use more oil/fuel and the price increases due to demand. Word strife on the other hand often means oil shortages, which also result in price increases.
We all know that prices can and often do fluctuate downward, but these lower prices tend to be temporary with the usual general trend upward.
So over the last say 10 years the oil price has always followed the trend of 1 step down followed by 2 steps up.
Oil is to modern life almost as valuable as water. OK we know we can't live without water, but imagine a world without oil, it would be back to the stone age.
In the past access to water was one of the main causes of wars. Oil as we know is now one of the main reasons countries go to war.
I still see posts stating that due to the current price per barrel, oil companies are not the investment they were.
I just can not believe how short sighted these people are.
The current sp is good solid value, given that only 1 well is proven.
Anything else is a bonus.

Chav whats the crack? Friday always a plus day

Still think I'll win my 50p marky!

Hows' the traffic in the Toon this morning?
