In an exciting development for Rockhopper Exploration plc, the Falkland Islands Government has extended all of the company’s Petroleum Production Licenses in the North and South Falkland Basin to December 2026. This decision comes after fruitful discussions between Rockhopper and FIG, showcasing a positive step forward for the company’s operations in the region.
CEO Sam Moody expressed his satisfaction with the license extensions, emphasizing the opportunity it provides for Rockhopper to continue advancing its work in the Falkland Islands. This extension signifies a vote of confidence in Rockhopper’s endeavors and highlights the ongoing partnership between the company and the Falkland Islands Government.
In addition to this milestone, Rockhopper Exploration has recently taken strategic measures to safeguard its interests.

By proactively insuring against the annulment of the award, Rockhopper is prioritizing the protection of its shareholders and ensuring financial stability in the face of uncertainties.
The insurance policy, obtained through a reputable specialist insurance brokerage and underwritten by A-rated carriers, guarantees Rockhopper a minimum of €31 million in the event of any unfavorable outcomes. This prudent decision reflects Rockhopper’s commitment to mitigating risks and maintaining financial resilience in a dynamic operating environment.
With these recent developments, Rockhopper Exploration is poised for continued growth and success in its operations. The company’s strategic foresight and proactive approach to risk management demonstrate its commitment to sustainable business practices and long-term value creation for its stakeholders. As Rockhopper navigates complex challenges and opportunities in the energy sector, its dedication to excellence and strategic decision-making will undoubtedly drive its future success.
