Sea Lion oil push: Borders & Southern says Navitas and Rockhopper’s final investment decision for the Sea Lion project is a “pivotal” basin milestone, setting up the Falklands’ first oil field for first oil in the first quarter of 2028 after decades of work and more than $1bn in investment. Offshore expansion: Navitas is also considering a second FPSO for Sea Lion, with the first unit Aoka Mizu (55,000 bbl/d) already lined up and a memorandum of understanding for an additional FPSO that could add a further 125,000 bbl/d; dock and shore-base prep is under way in the Falklands.

Environmental management staffing: The Islands also welcomed a new officer qualified in Environmental Management (QLS Level 5), reinforcing capacity for sustainability-focused work.
