The geology of the Falkland Islands is described in several publications. The Falkland Islands are located on a projection of the Patagonian continental shelf. In ancient geological time this shelf was part of Gondwana, which around 400 million years ago broke from what is now Africa and drifted westwards relative to Africa. Studies of the seabed surrounding the islands indicated the possibility of oil. Intensive exploration began in 1996, although there had been some earlier seismic surveys in the region.

  • Las Islas Malvinas se encuentran en una proyección de la plataforma continental patagónica. Según geologos británicos, hace unos 400 millones años, las islas se separaron de lo que hoy es Sudáfrica, rotando 180ª en su trayecto, derivando hacia el oeste hasta colisionar con la actual Sudamérica.​ Los estudios sobre el fondo del mar que rodea las islas han indicado la posibilidad de que exista petróleo. La exploración intensiva de dicho recurso comenzó en 1996,​ aunque habían ocurrido algunos estudios sísmicos anteriores en la región. (es)
