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.

16 January 2012

Shares in Rockhopper surged more than 10% during morning trading amid rumours of farm-in talks with BP and with Cairn reported over the weekend. The Sunday Times piece mentioned Premier Oil and US company, Noble Energy, among other potential suitors.

A separate report published by Reuters said RKH told an investor conference hosted by Morgan Stanley last week, that it has opened a data room and seven to eight companies were interested in bidding. It expects to strike a deal to sell a stake within three months and could give up operatorship.

nice play here yesterday - but the chatter is that to say the cairn interest is 'very speculative' at the very best is being kind to rkh - the city would be shocked if cairn or another major would take a major stake let alone t/o rkh or any other falkland oiler - there is absolutely no infrastructure and the biggest concern is the argies and the rest of SA which does not bode at all well with another cut of 5000 to our armed forces just announced today as part of the over all reduction package - nice to dream here but rkh on its own wont be able to do much with any find - i know others disagree with me and i always read and digest their comments as i consider them valid but imo it would be good to take profit here right now even if some more blue today - as for des....... lol! gla

add to this that apparently the major cairn investors have absolutely no interest in rkh - in fact are extremely concerned to be linked to rkh and others because of the risk - cairn has been valued on north sea principles which is a nonsense - any cairn bid which is unlikely to ever happen would be blocked imo

as for bp - lol that would be like going from one disaster to another if things dont play out due to very high risk from obtaining oil / gas to costs to argies et cetera

Where do you get this so called threat from "argieland"...sorry Gibby but it's nonsense.....

Totaly agree RF 3 posts of tripe.Now if you do your home work Gibby you will find out that a meeting and certain parties are meeting up in the Falklands later this week.

SO WATCH THIS SPACE.

don't care about this so-called argie threat, but i do agree that a bid by cairn is very unlikely

More likely is an investment from BP or BG.

morning rf - from many sources - there is much resentment towards UK in SA ref falklands and the argies are busy behind the scenes drumming up support from all SA nations (lets not forget that brazil is now economically higher up in the world tables than UK), if another falklands happens UK can not muster another taks force, politically it is said the USA would not be interested this time and in fact are more likely to align to SA, so sense says take profit and watch imo but i know loads of good posters here have more than enough savvy to make up their own minds - all i am saying is keep the argies in mind especially if in large here - GL

one of argies early subtle mind games to gain more SA support against UK: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/falklandislands/9006653/Argentina-starts-squid-war-against-Falkland-Islands.html

dont seem much but you will be surprised what is happening imo

nope not bp - they just recovering from one disaster dont want to HOP (LOL) straight into another one - & BG have more sense and loads of assets elsewhere

and give serious consideration as to why cne / cairn cant be arsed to make any comment on this wild rkh specualtion

Nobody gives a damn what they do or don't do.....it is not going to make any difference to a company like BP whether the other lot don't like it or not.....barking up the wrong tree Gibby I'm afraid....Rockhopper are pushing ahead with the sealion development and I look forward to filling up my car with their hydrocarbons as soon as possible !.

Gibby you got little voices shouting in your head again.

rf lol well gl

marky - do they have tablets to help with this nowadays??

when and if it happens at least everyone is aware of the situation ref the malvinas islands!! errrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... sorry falklands

the best falkland share imo is the equipment company that supplies the oilers and other sectors

i suppose if argies get the falklands at least rkh and others can sell out to them perhaps?

gla :-)))

Now the hype is over, back goes sp to 260p imo.

I won’t give you a sensible reply to that because you don’t deserve one you post as a mindless fool also a fool that is insulting to people who fought in the conflict let alone the people of the Falklands.

Me?

.

Got mail marky, will watch with interest but have doubts about end product.,.

personally i have total respect for those who served in the falklands - in fact i know many who did - the ones who do not have respect are government starting with labour who started the destruction of our armed forces and due to the financial mayhem they left behind when they lost the election the UK can no longer afford such a fantastic armed forces as we had - due to the piece meal break up and re-org of the armed forces the UK would not be able to defend the falklands for a sustained period that is fact even high ranking military chiefs had said this - the disrespect to falklands veterans is from the government - look at today 5000 cut in the army - most from one of the most feared regiments the Gurkhas who gladly put their life on the line for this country only to be sacked! look to the government for disrespect to the armed forces and aim your venom there
