Last update: 12 hours agoFalklands oil momentum: Rockhopper says Sea Lion remains on track for first oil in H1 2028, with Navitas shifting Aoka Mizu FPSO upgrade work from the Middle East to Asia after Iran-related disruption—adding about US$45m to the budget and nudging Rockhopper’s equity costs up by US$5.25m, while disconnection work ends by end of May and the FPSO heads to the yard to be adapted for Sea Lion. Bigger production push: Navitas is also exploring a second FPSO via an MOU that could add 125,000 bopd (no guarantee it becomes binding), as onshore work and long-lead manufacturing continue in the Islands ahead of drilling in early 2027. Polar tourism trade ties: The Falkland Islands Development Corporation led a Falklands delegation at IAATO’s new Marketplace Expo in Annapolis, teaming with Sulivan Shipping Services, the Tourist Board, Falklands Conservation and Penguin Travel. Science spotlight: New research argues gentoo penguins should be split into four species, with different regional risks—relevant for how conservation plans are targeted. Local culture: Vernon’s Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble performs Sunday at 2pm at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre.
