  • Will the Falkland Islands Open the door to oil exploration?
  • The Falkland Islands has opened the door to oil exploration in its waters for the first time in history, in a move that could trigger an economic boom for locals. The territory’s ruling council has asked islanders if they will back the scheme to extract up to 500m barrels of oil from the Sea Lion field, 150 miles to the north.
  • Could the sea lion project be a starting point for North Falkland Oil?
  • The Sea Lion project can potentially be of significant scale, and could be the starting point for the development of other discovered oil deposits in the North Falkland basin, which has a certified gross best estimate resource of 791 million barrels of oil, according to operator Navitas Petroleum.
  • Is the oil industry viable in the Falkland Islands?
  • Exploring the viability of the oil industry in the Falkland Islands is building up since its Readiness program in 2014 and has been further boosted by recent agreements among companies interested in developing potential projects, but it recently also faced an unexpected technical hurdle from the UK Treasury Department.
  • Who owns Falklands oil fields?
  • Rockhopper Petroleum, a tiny British oil and gas exploration company founded in 2004 with a cash balance of only US$17 million in 2019, now holds by far the biggest share of Falklands oil fields (Rockhopper Exploration PLC, 2019 ).
