Desire Petroleum says no Falklands oil discovery

Shares in the Aim-listed oil explorer plunged 45pc after the company said in a statement on Monday that additional analysis of data from Rachel North well did not support initial indications of oil being found in significant quantities.

Last Thursday, Desire said: "Preliminary data collected indicate that this well is an oil discovery."

Today Stephen Phipps, the chairman, said: "It is extremely disappointing that the subsequent wireline logs and fluids sampling have dashed all the earlier promise of this being Desire's first oil discovery in the North Falkland Basin."
