> An Argentinian judge has ordered a symbolic suspension of the Sea Lion oil project near the Falkland Islands, involving Britain’s Rockhopper Exploration and Israel’s Navitas Petroleum. The ruling bars drilling, infrastructure work and hydrocarbon extraction until an environmental impact assessment is completed, as Argentina intensifies its sovereignty claim over the British-administered territory.
