Oil & Gas

Background

In 1998, several companies came to the Falklands on oil exploratory missions, but at the time oil prices were low and it was deemed uneconomic to pursue extraction.

In February 2010 six wells were spudded, and four main companies listed on the London AIM market have all drilled – FOGL, Rockhopper, Desire and Borders & Southern along with a fifth later on – Argos Resources, which is due to have activity later in 2012.
