The importance of quantifying the plunder. The cost of Argentine political negligence. The complicity with Great Britain of officials and organizations who, instead of protecting the sovereign interests of the Argentine people, do exactly the opposite. The resources of a nation handed over to the Crown.
The final numerical adjustments to the upward projections that the company formed by Rockhopper Exploration plc and Navitas Petroleum has been publishing in recent days regarding the volume of oil reserves proposed for exploitation in the Northern and Central Malvinas Area make it possible to begin sizing up the magnitude of the impending plundering of Argentine hydrocarbons . It also allows us to determine the monetary value of this vast mass of natural resources that these British and Israeli-owned companies will begin to extract from the national maritime subsoil, after drilling the first 39 wells in the Northern Area and 25 in the Central Area . Totaling an initial extraction projection of 64 wells.
The calculations prepared by Agenda Malvinas were based on information published by Rockhopper on Monday the 24th, and based on the international value of a barrel of Brent crude oil , reached today, March 31, 2025 , equivalent to US$74.82 .
If that "day zero" were today , the Northern Area would begin to generate easily quantifiable dividends, in a staggered three-phase process. In the first phase , where they project to extract 170 million barrels of oil , today they would have guaranteed profits in the order of US$ 12,719,400,000 . The second phase , US$ 11,148,180,000 ; based on another 149 million barrels . And a third phase of US$ 7,037,790,000 , for a remainder of 95 million barrels.
Following that same reasoning, the two phases of the Central Area will contribute: the first phase , US$15,861,840,000 , from a 212-million-barrel reservoir; and the second, another US$7,631,640,000, for an additional 102 million barrels .
Thus, those 728 million barrels of oil stored in the 64 wells of the North Area and Central Area of Sea Lion/Sea Lion, acquire a quantifiable value of US$ 54,468,960,000.
With surgical precision, these two companies, which illegally acquired exploration and exploitation concessions from the British colony established in the Malvinas Islands, provide daily details of how this monumental theft will be perpetrated. For example, the initial "maximum production rate" will be around 55,000 barrels per day. Nothing more, nothing less, than US$4,156,625 every 24 hours. "Increasing to 150,000 barrels once all phases have been developed ." This means a stable, continuous " daily" income of US$11,223,000.
