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.

Cheers skint sorry skinny but just under 400 today I am told

Not sure what happened there (post 5879) it was in reply to a jokie post about Obama by Greekman - which appears to have vanished!!!!!

Blue = RKH , Green = FOGL , Red = DES , Light Blue = BOR

Just for clarity and to avoid offence - my post 5879 was in reply to Greekman's post 5860 - I obviously thought I was at the end of the thread and that Greek's post was the last post. !

Hi Skinny,

My post 5860 is still there.

Happy birthday Greek - post 5879 was mine in reply to your post 5860 - it looks out of context (because it is)!

Just edited my last post. Looks like I am loosing my marbles, (no not the elgin ones)

Cristina Kirchner told to leave Falkland Islanders alone, by Argentina's intellectuals
Cristina Kirchner has been warned to leave Falkland Islanders to decide their own future as Argentina's president faced a backlash from a group of the South American country's leading thinkers.

Why the drop in RKH ?

so far no sign of a farm in or takeover bid.

my guess is purely precautionary selling after a strong recent rise, but with an eye now on BOR and its likely non-result

cynic if you were a large oily wouldn't you wait to see results from the BOR drill before making a possible move on RKH?

of course; why?

Would think it will regain all tomorrow.
I would not want to risk being out over the week-end.

says gibby the greekman.......:))

I had to sell some today for my tax also my capital gains tax....

Is that why the price went down ?

Visiting US congressman offers support for Falklands’ self-determination
South American rhetoric on the Falklands should, “be cooled, otherwise mistakes might happen,” US member of the house of Representatives Republican Congressman F. Jim Sensenbrenner told the Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly on Thursday.

Could this be a match made in heaven.

Just had my first in-depth look at Anadarko.

I knew they were not the biggest outfit in the world, but they are still big enough to buy Rockhopper lock stock and barrel out of petty cash (well almost).

They have offices in Texas, Denver, Brazil, China, Algeria, Indonesia and London.
They operate around the world, in Alaska, Brazil, China, East Africa, West Africa, Indonesia, New Zealand and of course their home the USA.

If RKH take the partnership route, they are just the sort of partner we need.
Like most major oil companies, the world is their work place therefor crossing most political and cultural boundaries.
In todays world that is far more important than it used to be.
I agree with those that feel Congressman Sensenbrenners visit to the Falklands is not a coincidence.
Whilst most including myself would like the Argentinian threat as insignificant as it is to go away, If Anadarko or a similar sized global company gets on board, the Argentinian threat will disappear in a puff of oily smoke.
Crossing political boundaries also means that future threats from any other country in the future (although I can't think of any) would risk the wrath of the USA and China, not to mention those other countries with less clout mentioned above.

Proven reserves at end of 2010 (latest available figures) approximately 2.42 billion
barrels of oil equivalent in proved reserves.
A few more barrels of at least a conservative 300 mil or as most of us feel 500 mil and upward, wouldn't go a miss.

So with a tie-up with Anadarko or one of those other oilies of equal size, has to be a win win for all.
