Desire Petroleum shares fall as oil firm strikes water

Shares in Desire Petroleum have slumped almost 50% after the explorer said a key drilling prospect off the Falkland Islands contained mostly water, not oil.

Only last week the company had said that it was optimistic that the well contained hydrocarbons. But further analysis of deposits showed that the Rachel North well in the North Falkland basin contained mostly water. [...]

But Desire said on Monday: "However, sampling of the main sand has shown that the hydrocarbons are residual and that the mobile fluid is water." The well will "be plugged and abandoned". "This is a major blow to Desire and the prospectivity of the North Falkland Basin," said Evolution oil analyst David Farrell.
