Falkland-Krieg
Umkämpfter Außenposten: Nach ihrem Sieg hissten die Briten den Union Jack auch an der Ajax-Bucht, Quelle: AP
25 Jahre nach dem Falkland-Krieg bekräftigt Argentinien seinen Anspruch auf die karge Inselgruppe. Doch London sperrt sich gegen Verhandlungen.
Meist peitscht der Wind über die baumlose Landschaft, die Durchschnittstemperatur liegt bei fünf Grad Celsius und auf einen Menschen kommen 220 Schafe. Doch auch zweieinhalb Jahrzehnte nach dem Falkland-Krieg ist der Streit zwischen Argentinien und Großbritannien um die Inseln vor der argentinischen Küste noch immer nicht beigelegt - im Gegenteil. Kurz vor dem 25. Jahrestag der argentinischen Besetzung des Archipels am 2. April verschärfen die Südamerikaner den Ton.

Britische Konzerne bohren bereits seit den neunziger Jahren im Umfeld der Inseln zuversichtlich, aber erfolglos nach Öl.
Seit Präsident Nestor Kirchner 2003 an die Macht kam, hat seine Regierung immer wieder den Anspruch auf "Las Malvinas" bekräftigt - mit zunehmender Frequenz.

"Es ist nicht so, dass die Leute hier morgens aufwachen und zuerst an die Malwinen denken", sagt die Paula Alonso, Politologin an der Universidad de San Andrés in Buenos Aires. Gleichwohl seien die meisten Bürger überzeugt, dass die Inselgruppe rechtmäßiger Teil des Landes sei. Auch den Krieg betrachteten noch immer viele als vielleicht schlecht geplant, im Grunde aber berechtigt. "Die Frage hat noch immer Mobilisierungspotenzial und lässt sich von Regierungen daher politisch instrumentalisieren", erklärt die Professorin. Das Thema sei oft in Präsidentschaftswahlkämpfen aufgegriffen worden und passe gut zum konfrontativen Stil von Kirchner, der sich im Oktober den Wählern stellen muss.
Innenpolitische Motive waren es auch, die den Falkland-Krieg auslösten: Die Junta von General Leopoldo Galtieri sah sich einer stärker werden Opposition gegenüber und die Invasion bot die Möglichkeit, die Bevölkerung um die Fahne zu scharen.

Bis zur Rückeroberung starben rund 250 Briten und 700 Argentinier. Bis heute sind ständig zwischen 1000 und 2000 britische Militärs aller Waffengattungen auf den Inseln stationiert.
Keine Verhandlungen
Dabei will Argentinien, dies betont die Regierung stets, die Inseln auf friedlichem Wege zurückerlangen. Großbritannien ist jedoch nur dann zu Verhandlungen bereit, wenn dies von den knapp 3000 Bewohnern zumeist britischer Abstammung gewünscht wird - ein eher unwahrscheinliches Szenario. "Wir können über alles reden - Naturschutz, Fischerei und andere Angelegenheiten", sagt Sukey Cameron, Repräsentantin der Falkland-Inseln in Großbritannien. "Aber nicht über die Souveränität - das wäre gleichbedeutend mit der Abgabe der Souveränität."

"Wir hätten nichts lieber als ein gutes, nachbarschaftliches Verhältnis mit Argentinien", sagt Cameron.

Dass sich das Verhältnis in naher Zukunft entspannt, glaubt Cameron freilich nicht. "Wir rechnen damit, dass Argentinien den Druck erhöht", sagt sie und verweist auf die argentinischen Wahlen und die Jahrestage, die in den beiden Ländern getrennt und an unterschiedlichen Daten begangen werden.

Preliminary results for the nine months ended 31 December 2006
Chairman's Statement
Introduction
In the period under review FOGL has made significant progress towards its
objective of drilling the first exploration wells in the South and East Falkland
licences during 2008. Building upon the huge quantity of work that was
previously carried out, FOGL has commenced two surveys, the results of which are
expected to provide further definition and de-risking of the prospects and
provide locations for drilling.
John Armstrong has decided to step down from his position as a non-executive
Director of the Company effective 16th May 2007 in order to concentrate on his
other business activities. John was the founding Chairman of the Company. The
Board would like to take this opportunity to thank John for his invaluable input
and contribution over the years as well as all his efforts to establish the
Company in 2004. We wish him well in his new ventures.
Overview
A great deal of work had been previously carried out by FOGL on the licence
areas identifying over 100 prospects and leads, but 2006 saw the Company take a
further strategic decision in this area.
In the second half of the calendar year the Company, with the agreement of the
Falkland Islands Government, revised its work programme. This revised
programme, which is already in progress, was devised to specifically target the
largest prospects using several different exploration technologies.
Thus FOGL started this reporting period with the clear objective of drilling the
first exploration well on its acreage in 2008. As a result, 2006 was seen as an
important preparation stage, paving the way to achieve this goal through
defining, de-risking and prioritising the prospects, introducing a suitable
partner and securing a rig.
In line with our strategy FOGL's data rooms were opened and a number of
presentations were made to prospective farm-in partners. Whilst to date none of
these companies has agreed to join the project, a great deal of interest was
shown in our acreage and discussions with a number of potential partners are
continuing. It is also noteworthy that potential farminees have expressed
support for our revised programme.
The final part of the Company's strategy is to secure a rig for our drilling
programme. A number of options were pursued during 2006 and continue to be
investigated.
Financials
During the period FOGL also announced that it had reached agreement with RAB
Special Situations (Master) Fund Limited ("RAB SSMF") for RAB SSMF to invest #8
million in the Company by way of convertible loan notes. The agreement also
provided for the issue of warrants to RAB SSMF which carries the right to
subscribe for 6 million shares at 100p per share over the next 6 years.
At 31 December the Company had cash reserves of #14.9 million, which includes
the initial #2 million investment from RAB SSMF which was due on completion of
the above agreement. The combination of the cash position and the loan notes
means that FOGL is fully funded for its 2007 planned work programme.
This is the first set of results following our change to a calendar year end in
line with most companies in the sector. It is expected that we will be
reporting our interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2007 around
September 2007 and a full updated calendar of corporate dates is available on
the Company's website: www.fogl.com
Outlook
FOGL operates in a vast area which is as yet un-drilled, but highly prospective.
The Company has entered into an exciting, yet crucial phase of its development
with significant progress being made in the last year.
The Company's operational focus is clear and defined, and the surveys which are
currently being undertaken have the potential to provide the Company with
numerous options and opportunities for the future.
This is an important period and FOGL has clear priorities. Your Board remains
confident that in the year ahead significant progress will be made towards the
Company's goals, creating value for shareholders.

Preliminary results for the nine months ended 31 December 2006
Chief Executive's Review
Introduction
The period under review has been one of intense activity for FOGL. We have
agreed the route forward and have now embarked upon the surveys which we believe
will further de-risk our licence areas and provide us with the best prospects to
drill in 2008.
Work Programme
During the last year, having gained the necessary approvals from the Falkland
Islands Government, the Company set out to implement the revised forward
programme of Controlled Source Electro-Magnetic survey ("CSEM"), a 2D infill
seismic survey and a sea bottom coring programme.
This programme was decided upon as being the most efficient way forward, given
the large size of the basin and number of prospects that needed to be evaluated.
The first two of these surveys are now underway with the third phase, sea bottom
coring, due to commence later in 2007.
Infill 2D Seismic Survey
The Company has contracted Wavefield InSeis AS to undertake this survey. The
programme was commenced by the vessel Bergen Surveyor on 19 December 2006 and
approximately 10,000 kilometres will be shot.
To date approximately 6,000 kilometres have been acquired. The results of the
CSEM survey will also be utilised to assist in the planning of the later stages
of the 2D seismic survey, where a one kilometre by one kilometre seismic grid
will be acquired over the most promising prospects. The 2D seismic survey is
expected to take approximately five months to complete.
CSEM Survey
This survey, which is being carried out by Offshore Hydrocarbon Mapping plc ("
OHM"), commenced on 3rd February 2007 using the CS Teneo survey vessel. Progress
of the survey has been slower than expected due to unusually poor weather, but
OHM has been able, despite this, to acquire 4 CSEM lines out of an expected
total firm programme of 8 lines. The second phase of the programme will commence
next month, when the remaining 4 lines will be acquired. The lines acquired to
date cover 6 different prospects. It will take up to 3 months to fully process
and interpret these data, but preliminary results indicate several promising
anomalies.
Sea Bottom Coring
This survey is designed to target a number of possible oil seeps that have been
identified on seismic and satellite data. The objective of this coring programme
is to attempt to recover "live" oil samples which would demonstrate that oil has
been generated and has migrated within the basin. It is anticipated that this
survey will be acquired in the second half of 2007.
We expect to make further announcements on the results of these surveys as
appropriate.
Independent review of interests
In October TRACS International ("TRACS") completed an independent review of our
interests in the East and South Falkland licences. TRACS completed a review of
what it believes are the Company's top ten prospects as regards potential size
and greatest chance of success. Following evaluation of the prospects TRACS
reported that FOGL has Unrisked Net Prospective Resources of 10,089 MMbbls (best
estimate) based on the portfolio of 10 prospects reviewed. The estimated ranges
of Prospective Resource volumes are summarised in the table below.
Unrisked Net Volume
Classification Low Est. Best Est. High Est.
MMbbls MMbbls MMbbls
Prospective Resources 5,202 10,089 20,148
The full report by TRACS is available on FOGL's website.
Farm - in process
One of the Company's key objectives as part of the strategy to develop the
Company's licences to their full potential is to gain a suitable farminee
partner. During the period the Company opened its data rooms and made
presentations to a number of prospective farminee partners, the majority of
which were major or super major oil companies.
Whilst, as yet, no partner has been secured, the discussions during the year
progressed well and were largely positive. The Company continues to have
dialogue with a number of these companies and the results of FOGL's aggressive
work programme are expected to be favourably received by these companies. FOGL
envisages that further presentations and discussions will take place once the
results of these surveys are completed.
Rig options
The Company's objective remains to drill the first exploration well on our
licences during 2008. FOGL management is examining a number of options to
achieve this goal:
* Combining with the other oil and gas operators in the Falkland region with a
view to building a consortium and creating a drilling campaign that provides
a more attractive proposition to rig contractors.
* Ceding an interest in the licences or equity stake in FOGL in exchange for
providing a rig.
* Obtaining a rig through a farm-in partner.
Although the rig market remains tight a number of possible rigs have been
identified and negotiations have commenced in an attempt to secure one for
FOGL's drilling campaign.
Conclusion
The period ahead is crucial for the Company. As the results from the current
work programme come through it is expected that our strategic goals in the form
of potential farminees and rigs will also be realised. The Company remains
positive as to achieving its stated objectives.

Notes to the Preliminary Results
1. Basis of financial information
The December 2006 period end financial information in this announcement has been
prepared on the same basis and using the same accounting policies as were
applied in the Company's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2006 with the exception of the accounting for share based payments.
The financial information for the period ended 31 December 2006 is unaudited and
does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts. The financial information
for the year ended 31 March 2006 is derived from the statutory accounts for the
year which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies but have been
restated following the adoption of FRS20. The auditors have reported on the year
ended 31 March 2006 accounts; their report was unqualified. The statutory
accounts for the period ended 31 December 2006 will be finalised on the basis of
the financial information presented by the Directors in this preliminary
announcement and will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies. In the opinion
of the Directors the financial information for this period fairly presents the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period in
compliance with Falkland Islands Company law and UK generally accepted
accounting principles.
With effect from 1 April 2006, the Company has adopted FRS20 Share Based
Payments. Under FRS 20, an expense is recognised in the profit and loss account
for share based payments, calculated on their fair value at the date of grant.
The adoption of FRS20 has given rise to a charge of #121,233 for the period
ended 31 December 2006. The equivalent charge for the year ended 31 March 2006
is #112,158 and the comparative figures have been restated accordingly.
Compliance with FRS20 has reduced 2006 shareholders' funds by #Nil and increased
the loss for the year ended 31 March 2006 by #112,158. The net loss for the
period ended 31 December 2006 has been increased by #121,233 and as a result the
loss per ordinary share also increased to 1.17 pence per share. The prior year
charge of #112,158 had no impact on tax on loss on ordinary activities.
The financial statements fall within the scope of the UK Oil Industry Accounting
Committee's Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting for Oil and Gas
Exploration, Development, Production and Decommissioning Activities" and have
been prepared in accordance with its provisions.
In common with many exploration companies, the Company raises finance for its
exploration and appraisal activities in discrete tranches. Further funding is
raised as and when required.
The Directors are of the opinion that the Company has adequate financial
resources to enable it to undertake the current planned programme of exploration
and appraisal activities over the next twelve months. However the Directors may
seek to secure additional funds to expand the work programme or pursue further
opportunities and are also seeking to secure the engagement of a partner to
participate in the work programme. Whilst the Directors are confident that
further funding or a suitable partner will be available, there can be no
guarantee that this will be the case.
Copies of full accounts will be posted to all shareholders. Further copies will
be available from the Company's head office at 32-34 Wigmore Street, London W1U
2RR, from the date of posting. Telephone: +44 (0)20 7563 1260.
2. Loss per share
The calculation of basic loss per ordinary share is based on a loss of
#1,113,963 (Year ended March 2006: loss of #1,049,744) and on 91,950,706 (Year
ended March 2006: 89,824,422) ordinary shares, being the weighted average number
of ordinary shares in issue during the period. There is no difference between
the diluted loss per share and the basic loss per share presented as the Company

Preliminary results for the nine months ended 31 December 2006
Chairman's Statement
Introduction
In the period under review FOGL has made significant progress towards its
objective of drilling the first exploration wells in the South and East Falkland
licences during 2008. Building upon the huge quantity of work that was
previously carried out, FOGL has commenced two surveys, the results of which are
expected to provide further definition and de-risking of the prospects and
provide locations for drilling.
John Armstrong has decided to step down from his position as a non-executive
Director of the Company effective 16th May 2007 in order to concentrate on his
other business activities. John was the founding Chairman of the Company. The
Board would like to take this opportunity to thank John for his invaluable input
and contribution over the years as well as all his efforts to establish the
Company in 2004. We wish him well in his new ventures.
Overview
A great deal of work had been previously carried out by FOGL on the licence
areas identifying over 100 prospects and leads, but 2006 saw the Company take a
further strategic decision in this area.
In the second half of the calendar year the Company, with the agreement of the
Falkland Islands Government, revised its work programme. This revised
programme, which is already in progress, was devised to specifically target the
largest prospects using several different exploration technologies.
Thus FOGL started this reporting period with the clear objective of drilling the
first exploration well on its acreage in 2008. As a result, 2006 was seen as an
important preparation stage, paving the way to achieve this goal through
defining, de-risking and prioritising the prospects, introducing a suitable
partner and securing a rig.
In line with our strategy FOGL's data rooms were opened and a number of
presentations were made to prospective farm-in partners. Whilst to date none of
these companies has agreed to join the project, a great deal of interest was
shown in our acreage and discussions with a number of potential partners are
continuing. It is also noteworthy that potential farminees have expressed
support for our revised programme.
The final part of the Company's strategy is to secure a rig for our drilling
programme. A number of options were pursued during 2006 and continue to be
investigated.
Financials
During the period FOGL also announced that it had reached agreement with RAB
Special Situations (Master) Fund Limited ("RAB SSMF") for RAB SSMF to invest #8
million in the Company by way of convertible loan notes. The agreement also
provided for the issue of warrants to RAB SSMF which carries the right to
subscribe for 6 million shares at 100p per share over the next 6 years.
At 31 December the Company had cash reserves of #14.9 million, which includes
the initial #2 million investment from RAB SSMF which was due on completion of
the above agreement. The combination of the cash position and the loan notes
means that FOGL is fully funded for its 2007 planned work programme.
This is the first set of results following our change to a calendar year end in
line with most companies in the sector. It is expected that we will be
reporting our interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2007 around
September 2007 and a full updated calendar of corporate dates is available on
the Company's website: www.fogl.com
Outlook
FOGL operates in a vast area which is as yet un-drilled, but highly prospective.
The Company has entered into an exciting, yet crucial phase of its development
with significant progress being made in the last year.
The Company's operational focus is clear and defined, and the surveys which are
currently being undertaken have the potential to provide the Company with
numerous options and opportunities for the future.
This is an important period and FOGL has clear priorities. Your Board remains
confident that in the year ahead significant progress will be made towards the
Company's goals, creating value for shareholders.

Preliminary results for the nine months ended 31 December 2006
Chief Executive's Review
Introduction
The period under review has been one of intense activity for FOGL. We have
agreed the route forward and have now embarked upon the surveys which we believe
will further de-risk our licence areas and provide us with the best prospects to
drill in 2008.
Work Programme
During the last year, having gained the necessary approvals from the Falkland
Islands Government, the Company set out to implement the revised forward
programme of Controlled Source Electro-Magnetic survey ("CSEM"), a 2D infill
seismic survey and a sea bottom coring programme.
This programme was decided upon as being the most efficient way forward, given
the large size of the basin and number of prospects that needed to be evaluated.
The first two of these surveys are now underway with the third phase, sea bottom
coring, due to commence later in 2007.
Infill 2D Seismic Survey
The Company has contracted Wavefield InSeis AS to undertake this survey. The
programme was commenced by the vessel Bergen Surveyor on 19 December 2006 and
approximately 10,000 kilometres will be shot.
To date approximately 6,000 kilometres have been acquired. The results of the
CSEM survey will also be utilised to assist in the planning of the later stages
of the 2D seismic survey, where a one kilometre by one kilometre seismic grid
will be acquired over the most promising prospects. The 2D seismic survey is
expected to take approximately five months to complete.
CSEM Survey
This survey, which is being carried out by Offshore Hydrocarbon Mapping plc ("
OHM"), commenced on 3rd February 2007 using the CS Teneo survey vessel. Progress
of the survey has been slower than expected due to unusually poor weather, but
OHM has been able, despite this, to acquire 4 CSEM lines out of an expected
total firm programme of 8 lines. The second phase of the programme will commence
next month, when the remaining 4 lines will be acquired. The lines acquired to
date cover 6 different prospects. It will take up to 3 months to fully process
and interpret these data, but preliminary results indicate several promising
anomalies.
Sea Bottom Coring
This survey is designed to target a number of possible oil seeps that have been
identified on seismic and satellite data. The objective of this coring programme
is to attempt to recover "live" oil samples which would demonstrate that oil has
been generated and has migrated within the basin. It is anticipated that this
survey will be acquired in the second half of 2007.
We expect to make further announcements on the results of these surveys as
appropriate.
Independent review of interests
In October TRACS International ("TRACS") completed an independent review of our
interests in the East and South Falkland licences. TRACS completed a review of
what it believes are the Company's top ten prospects as regards potential size
and greatest chance of success. Following evaluation of the prospects TRACS
reported that FOGL has Unrisked Net Prospective Resources of 10,089 MMbbls (best
estimate) based on the portfolio of 10 prospects reviewed. The estimated ranges
of Prospective Resource volumes are summarised in the table below.
Unrisked Net Volume
Classification Low Est. Best Est. High Est.
MMbbls MMbbls MMbbls
Prospective Resources 5,202 10,089 20,148
The full report by TRACS is available on FOGL's website.
Farm - in process
One of the Company's key objectives as part of the strategy to develop the
Company's licences to their full potential is to gain a suitable farminee
partner. During the period the Company opened its data rooms and made
presentations to a number of prospective farminee partners, the majority of
which were major or super major oil companies.
Whilst, as yet, no partner has been secured, the discussions during the year
progressed well and were largely positive. The Company continues to have
dialogue with a number of these companies and the results of FOGL's aggressive
work programme are expected to be favourably received by these companies. FOGL
envisages that further presentations and discussions will take place once the
results of these surveys are completed.
Rig options
The Company's objective remains to drill the first exploration well on our
licences during 2008. FOGL management is examining a number of options to
achieve this goal:
* Combining with the other oil and gas operators in the Falkland region with a
view to building a consortium and creating a drilling campaign that provides
a more attractive proposition to rig contractors.
* Ceding an interest in the licences or equity stake in FOGL in exchange for
providing a rig.
* Obtaining a rig through a farm-in partner.
Although the rig market remains tight a number of possible rigs have been
identified and negotiations have commenced in an attempt to secure one for
FOGL's drilling campaign.
Conclusion
The period ahead is crucial for the Company. As the results from the current
work programme come through it is expected that our strategic goals in the form
of potential farminees and rigs will also be realised. The Company remains
positive as to achieving its stated objectives.

Notes to the Preliminary Results
1. Basis of financial information
The December 2006 period end financial information in this announcement has been
prepared on the same basis and using the same accounting policies as were
applied in the Company's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2006 with the exception of the accounting for share based payments.
The financial information for the period ended 31 December 2006 is unaudited and
does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts. The financial information
for the year ended 31 March 2006 is derived from the statutory accounts for the
year which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies but have been
restated following the adoption of FRS20. The auditors have reported on the year
ended 31 March 2006 accounts; their report was unqualified. The statutory
accounts for the period ended 31 December 2006 will be finalised on the basis of
the financial information presented by the Directors in this preliminary
announcement and will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies. In the opinion
of the Directors the financial information for this period fairly presents the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period in
compliance with Falkland Islands Company law and UK generally accepted
accounting principles.
With effect from 1 April 2006, the Company has adopted FRS20 Share Based
Payments. Under FRS 20, an expense is recognised in the profit and loss account
for share based payments, calculated on their fair value at the date of grant.
The adoption of FRS20 has given rise to a charge of #121,233 for the period
ended 31 December 2006. The equivalent charge for the year ended 31 March 2006
is #112,158 and the comparative figures have been restated accordingly.
Compliance with FRS20 has reduced 2006 shareholders' funds by #Nil and increased
the loss for the year ended 31 March 2006 by #112,158. The net loss for the
period ended 31 December 2006 has been increased by #121,233 and as a result the
loss per ordinary share also increased to 1.17 pence per share. The prior year
charge of #112,158 had no impact on tax on loss on ordinary activities.
The financial statements fall within the scope of the UK Oil Industry Accounting
Committee's Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting for Oil and Gas
Exploration, Development, Production and Decommissioning Activities" and have
been prepared in accordance with its provisions.
In common with many exploration companies, the Company raises finance for its
exploration and appraisal activities in discrete tranches. Further funding is
raised as and when required.
The Directors are of the opinion that the Company has adequate financial
resources to enable it to undertake the current planned programme of exploration
and appraisal activities over the next twelve months. However the Directors may
seek to secure additional funds to expand the work programme or pursue further
opportunities and are also seeking to secure the engagement of a partner to
participate in the work programme. Whilst the Directors are confident that
further funding or a suitable partner will be available, there can be no
guarantee that this will be the case.
Copies of full accounts will be posted to all shareholders. Further copies will
be available from the Company's head office at 32-34 Wigmore Street, London W1U
2RR, from the date of posting. Telephone: +44 (0)20 7563 1260.
2. Loss per share
The calculation of basic loss per ordinary share is based on a loss of
#1,113,963 (Year ended March 2006: loss of #1,049,744) and on 91,950,706 (Year
ended March 2006: 89,824,422) ordinary shares, being the weighted average number
of ordinary shares in issue during the period. There is no difference between
the diluted loss per share and the basic loss per share presented as the Company
reported a loss for the period. The loss per share for the year ended 31 March
2006 has been restated as a result of the implementation of FRS20.

Wie Ihr wahrscheinlich aus diversen Pressemitteilungen erfahren habt, haperte es bei der Oelexploration auf den Falkland-Inseln bislang vor allem an einem: der Verfuegbarkeit (bzw. Nicht-Verfuegbarkeit) von Oelbohrplattformen. Der Oelpreisanstieg der letzten Jahre war fuer diese Spekulation einerseits erst der richtige Anschub. Andererseits ging durch den starken Preisanstieg aber auch die Nachfrage nach Oelbohrplattformen durch die Decke. Deshalb konnten FOGL, Rockhopper und Desire Petroleum (die drei gelisteten Falkland-Oelexplorationsunternehmen) bislang nur seismische Untersuchungen,aber keine Bohrungen durchfuehren.
Letzte Woche las ich gerade, dass Rockhopper die drei Konkurrenten
vereinen moechte, um gemeinsam ein Oelbohrplattform anzumieten. Das
waere definitiv ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung.
Im Maerz wird Swen Lorenz seine Investmentseite im Internet wieder auf Deutsch starten und dann auch ein umfangreiches Update ueber die Falkland-Inseln schreiben. Mein Rat waere, diese Durststrecke
auszusitzen und dabei zu bleiben!
Ich hoffe, Euch mit diesen Angaben ein wenig weitergeholfen zu haben.

Dafür ist CSEM eine große Hilfe, siehe Rockhopper Exploration, auch im Falkland-Gebiet.
Wer sich für FOGL näher interessiert, soll hier im Thread einige Seiten zurückblättern und sich die informative Homepage von FOGL anschauen.

Ich glaube du bringst da etwas durcheinander. Die Ölvorkommen, auf denen FOGL angeblich sitzt, müssen erstmal gefunden werden. Und sicher ist das nicht. Sonst würde der Kurs nicht bei 1,20 sondern bei 120 stehen.
Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 28.502.399 von homem am 26.03.07 16:45:15Fortress und FOGL kann man nun wirklich miteinander vergleichen.
Fortress hat aber nur eine Mini-MK, aber drei namhafte Großaktionäre mit 1000 % Potential.
FOGL hat tatsächlich auch 3 Großaktionäre ().
Nenne mir aber nur einen Explorer weltweit, der auf einem größeren Rohstoffvorkommen sitzt.
FOGL wird jedenfalls mit erfolgreichen Bohrungen von den Reserven her noch Exxon-Mobil überholen.
Und das ist immerhin der größte Konzern der Welt.
