Argentina announced plans to begin arbitration and seek provisional measures against the Sea Lion oil project, escalating its dispute with Britain over the Falkland Islands’ planned first commercial oil development. The Sept. 28 announcement cited the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and said Argentina would seek provisional measures from the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea if Britain did not halt the project. Sea Lion is located about 220 kilometers north of the Falkland Islands. Navitas Petroleum Development and Production Ltd. operates the project, with Rockhopper Exploration as its partner.
