Argentine President Javier Milei reacted to the progress of the Sea Lion offshore oil project north of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), announcing he would sign a new sanctions decree to prevent the exploitation of resources on the islands under British occupation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent approximately 180 warning notes to companies involved in the project and to 29 countries.
The Sea Lion project is being developed by a partnership between Israel-based Navitas Petroleum (65%) and UK-based Rockhopper Exploration (35%); a final investment decision was made in December 2025. The field is located 220 km north of the islands at a depth of 450 meters, with 314 million barrels of proven/probable reserves and a production target of 50,000 barrels per day; first oil is expected in March 2028.
An investment of 1.8 billion USD is planned for the first phase, with an additional 2.1 billion USD for a total 30-year operation. Relying on Law No. 26,659 on the Continental Shelf, Argentina is preparing a regulation to facilitate sanctions against companies that do not recognize its sovereignty; this move increases the risk of a new diplomatic and legal conflict in the long-standing island crisis.
