Respected Leader
Tuossa taitaa olla takana puhdas ahneus:Jokseenkin vastenmielistä kun tietää että lähes kaikki falklandilaiset haluavat kuulua Britanniaan Argentiinalla olisi varmaan omia ja paljon isompiakin ongelmia kuin muutaman pikkusaaren omistaminen ja siihen liittyvä "kunnia".
1) North Falklands Basin
200 kilometres to the north of the islands, it is estimated that there are 325 million barrels of recoverable oil. The oil is at a depth of between 2000-3500 m below the sea floor — which is 450 m below sea-level.2) South and East Falklands Basins
This basin covers a larger area than the North Falklands Basin. 200 miles from the islands — stretching in an arc from east of the islands to directly south of the islands. The sea floor is between 1000 and 1500 m deep — with the oil 2000-3500 m below the sea floor. There could be up to 5 billion barrels of oil or gas in the fields. In comparison, the world’s largest oil field is thought to be the Safaniya oil field in the Persian Gulf — recoverable reserves of 36 billion barrels.The first oil is expected in 2016 from the North Basin. The larger South and East Basin is still at the exploratory stage. Finding the oil is only the first step — and many hazardous operations will follow. Will the oil be economical to extract? The changing requirements of regulators in demanding cleaner petroleum products puts a premium on low sulphur oil for example. Regulatory change is discussed in Meeting Tier 3 Requirements with Ease and Precision. These far flung islands could soon be very rich — but at what cost?
How Much Oil Is There in the Falklands?
The Falklands are a small archipelago situated in the South Atlantic Ocean made up of some 780 islands. With a population of less than 3000 people spread over 4700 square miles — the islands are...
