Last update: 11 hours agoFalklands Energy: Eco Atlantic Oil & Gas says its PL001 North Falklands target holds an estimated 640m barrels prospective resource, with partner Navitas planning a multi-target exploration well in early 2027, potentially tying back to the Sea Lion development as the wider campaign ramps up. Falklands Oil & Gas Expansion: Navitas is also moving to accelerate Sea Lion by acquiring a second FPSO (OSX-1) for about $125m, aiming to add up to 125,000 barrels per day capacity and speed later phases, with Rockhopper funding its share.
