英国与以色列合作的海狮油田项目在福克兰群岛水域引发英阿主权争端。1阿根廷总统米莱威胁，若项目未在两周内停止，将向国际海洋法庭提起诉讼，并已对参与该项目的60人实施制裁。1该油田项目预算达18亿美元，计划于2028年初投产，峰值日产量为50,000桶，可持续开采35年。1
项目面临实质性风险。由于对制裁的担忧，已有两家承包商撤出项目。1福克兰群岛行政长官克劳森将阿根廷的压力描述为"经济战争"。1该群岛人口不足4,000人，当前经济几乎完全依赖渔业和旅游业。12013年福克兰群岛的主权公投中，99.8%的居民支持继续由英国管理。11982年英阿战争后，英国恢复了对该群岛的控制。1
A proposed oil development in waters surrounding the Falkland Islands has reignited sovereignty tensions between the United Kingdom and Argentina, with the dispute now threatening a major economic initiative. Argentine President Javier Milei has threatened to take the case to the International Court of Law if the Sea Lion oilfield project does not halt within two weeks, and has imposed sanctions on 60 individuals involved in the venture 1. The project, a collaboration between British and Israeli energy companies, carries an estimated budget of 1.8 billion dollars and represents a potentially transformative opportunity for the sparsely populated territory 1.
The Sea Lion oilfield is scheduled to begin production in early 2028, with projected peak output of 50,000 barrels per day sustained over 35 years 1. For the Falkland Islands, whose population of fewer than 4,000 residents depends almost entirely on fishing and tourism, the development could deliver substantial economic benefits 1. However, the project has already faced setbacks as two contractors have withdrawn due to concerns about the sanctions regime imposed by Argentina's government 1. Falkland Islands Chief Administrator Civ Clatworthy has characterized the Argentine pressure as an "economic war" 1. This latest dispute builds on longstanding tensions stemming from the 1982 war, after which Britain reasserted control over the territory; a 2013 sovereignty referendum saw 99.8 percent of Falkland Islanders vote to remain under British jurisdiction 1.
