New Frontier

摘要

New drilling off the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic got underway this month marking the start of a highly-anticipated push to find more oil off the disputed archipelago. The Falkland Islands, a UK self-governing territory over which Argentina claims sovereignty, has seen no drilling in its waters since a multi-well campaign in 2010 turned up the island’s only commercial oil find, the Sea Lion oilfield in the North Falkland Basin. But with just a handful exploration wells to date, the explorers are keen for more and a new shared rig has started to drill.
