History

Company timeline

November 2004

The Company was awarded its first exploration licences in the Falkland Islands.

May 2005

The Company listed on AIM (London Stock Exchange) raising £10m (gross). Later that year Borders & Southern Petroleum Plc incorporated its sole subsidiary, Borders & Southern Falkland Islands Limited.

2005

Commenced operations in the Falkland Islands, acquiring 2,862 km of 2D seismic.

2007

Raised £25m (gross) for seismic acquisition

2008

Acquired 1,492 square kilometres of 3D seismic.

2009

Raised $195m (gross) through a Placing in preparation for its drilling campaign.

2012

Completed a two well drilling programme. The first well delivered a significant, liquids rich, gas condensate discovery (Darwin) and the second well had strong gas shows. The Company raised a further $75m (gross). Completed facilities engineering study to confirm options and viability of the Darwin development.

November 2012

The Company relinquished 50% of its acreage and entered the second exploration term under its licences, committing to drill one exploration well.

2013

Acquired 1,025 square kilometres of 3D seismic.
