A Report for FIRS by Layla Crowie (LC) 04.02.10
The Argentine Government has this week protested about the up-coming drilling campaign in Falklands waters. Director of Minerals, Phyl Rendell (PR), doesnt believe that this is concerning the Falklands oil industry.
PR: I havent heard any concern being expressed by our operators. I must say we have been offline for a couple of days but we are back on today and I have now been able to catch up and read about that. I think the industry is confident that they are coming into an area that is British Sovereign Territory and there have been some strong messages from the Foreign Office supporting that. I think the industry isnt concerned at the moment.
