Argentine judge halts Sea Lion oil project off Falklands
–
Neutral summary
Federal Judge Mariel Borruto of Río Grande granted an injunction filed by environmental groups and ordered British Rockhopper Exploration and Israeli Navitas Petroleum to stop drilling, subsea installations and the start of production at the Sea Lion project off the Falkland Islands. The ruling suspends work pending an environmental impact assessment, and a separate case against Desire Petroleum is being advanced in Comodoro Py. The project is valued at US$2.1 billion, and the court decision is seen as a symbolic step amid rising tensions over the disputed territory.
