Rockhopper and Navitas approved Phase 1 of the Sea Lion oil project offshore the Falkland Islands, targeting first oil in 2028.
Rockhopper Exploration and Navitas Petroleum have approved the final investment decision for Phase 1 of the Sea Lion oil field offshore the Falkland Islands, with first oil expected in early 2028.
The project, located in the North Falkland Basin, has received all regulatory approvals and will enter a 35-year exploitation phase.
Phase 1 targets 59.5 million barrels of recoverable oil, with peak production of 50,000 barrels per day, using a redeployed FPSO and 11 subsea wells.
Total funding to first oil is $1.8 billion, including $1.0 billion in senior debt and joint-venture equity.
Navitas, operator with a 65% stake, and Rockhopper, with 35%, secured financing and key contracts.
The development is expected to bring significant economic benefits to the Falkland Islands and the UK supply chain, despite Argentina’s protest over the territory’s sovereignty.
