Greenland energy & minerals amid Arctic competition

Overview

Since June 2026, Greenland Energy has been pursuing a $60 million two-well drilling campaign in the Jameson Land Basin, claiming potential crude oil reserves of up to $1 trillion. While Greenland suspended new oil licenses in 2021, the Texas-based company is attempting to leverage existing exploration rights held by the British firm 80 Mile. In August 2026, the Greenland government issued a strong warning to Greenland Energy after the company reportedly moved drilling equipment to the eastern coast of Jameson Land without necessary permits. Specifically, containers and heavy machinery were offloaded at Konstabel Pynt, an area containing wetlands protected by the international Ramsar Convention.

On August 12, 2026, the Greenlandic government officially announced that the exploratory drilling project in the Nunaap Keka (Jameson Land) region will not proceed this winter, citing insufficient time for administrative processes and the lack of required environmental and social impact studies. Following the unauthorized arrival of equipment in the village of Itokorturmiit, Greenland Energy apologized.

By early September 2026, Chief Executive Robert Price confirmed a one-year delay, stating that preparations involving equipment from Alberta, Denmark, and Houston have been halted and placed in storage. Operations are now expected to resume around November or December 2027. Despite this delay, Greenland Energy has continued field activities in the remote tundra north of Scoresby Sund. Geologists have been documented collecting soil and water samples to support the upcoming environmental impact assessment required for the project.
