Offshore Energy Politics: Argentina has renewed its rejection of the Sea Lion oil project in the North Malvinas Basin, arguing against hydrocarbon development in disputed waters while also framing the issue as a conservation concern for a sensitive South Atlantic marine ecosystem. Falklands-Linked Exploration Update: Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas says it has strengthened its Atlantic Margin portfolio via farm-outs and partners, with progress reported across Namibia, Guyana, the Falkland Islands and South Africa, and signals near-term regulatory and operational milestones.
