Big oil find off the British owned Falkland Islands -- from The Sun:
Falklands oil strike to infuriate Argentina
British oil explorer ROCKHOPPER yesterday scored a hat-trick of strikes off the Falkland Islands � leaving Argentina fuming.

The firm said a new well proved its Sea Lion field 80 miles off the Falklands coast is BIGGER than expected.

And two further big oil hits were made on the way down � as well as a discovery of gas.

The strikes will infuriate Argentina's Prime Minister Cristina Kirchner � who slammed Britain last year for trying to exhaust "Argentinian natural resources".
Hell -- there is probably a lot more down there; Argentina can just hire Rockhopper for herself. Estimates are at 430 million barrels -- quite the find. Posted by DaveH at December 14, 2011 7:01 PM
