Less than three months after the UK companies is released back to search oil in the waters of the Malvinas, as they did unsuccessfully in the '90s, the Rockhopper Exploration announced yesterday the discovery of oil in the basin operating north of the islands.
Through a statement signed by Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana, the Government came to the crossing and the disturbing finding of all the hydrocarbon of Britons in the area of \u200b\u200bdispute which he considered "an illegal act that goes against international law and UN resolutions." In the text, Argentina "rejects in the strongest terms the attempt to seize illegally from non-renewable natural resources owned by the Argentine people."
Starting in February, oil exploration in the Falklands, and the tightening of controls by the Government of vessels operating in the area and the presentation of the claim of sovereignty to Britain at every international forum sparked an escalation bilateral as not lived since the 1982 war.
The Rockhopper did not say if the discovered oil is "commercially viable". On the contrary said that from now on will focus on the analysis of the sample found after 20 days of sand and rock drilling to 2,740 meters deep South Atlantic. And now, if blind considering the well, or suspended to seek other gas and oil.
But the optimism of the industry is spread like a lit fuse in London where all the press reported on the matter. And as expected, the company's shares soared 138 percent. An analyst at Oriel Securities, one of the influential firms in the sector was even more optimistic in asserting that The Times newspaper, that the finding "very significant" and could represent up to 200 million barrels of oil at current oil prices, would account for 17,000 million pounds (U $ S 25,000 million):

" That is, the quality or quantity does not justify the high costs of exploration in waters as "difficult" as the South Atlantic. Liz was the well that was capped and abandoned, and with it collapsed the company's stock.
