- Greenland Energy holds rights to up to 70% working interest across three onshore licenses covering more than 2 million acres in East Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin.
- Independent Sproule ERCE engineering estimates indicate recoverable oil upside of 13 billion barrels across the basin, which was extensively evaluated by ARCO decades ago but never drilled.
- The company has contracted Stampede Drilling for Arctic-rated rig services alongside agreements with Halliburton, Desgagnés, and IPT Well Solutions to support its 2026 drilling campaign.
Onshore basins of genuine scale that remain undrilled are increasingly rare. Most of the world’s major hydrocarbon-producing regions have been systematically tested over the past half-century, leaving frontier opportunities concentrated in geographies with challenging logistics, complex permitting, or historically limiting macroeconomic conditions.

Where such basins remain, they carry a combination of technical risk and optionality that draws a specific type of investor interest. The Jameson Land Basin in East Greenland, a petroleum basin historically evaluated by US Atlantic Richfield Company (“ARCO”) but never drilled, represents one of the most prominent examples of that profile. Greenland Energy (NASDAQ: GLND) is the publicly traded…

Questions around this news
What acreage and ownership interest does Greenland Energy hold in the Jameson Land Basin?
The release says the company holds rights to as much as a 70% working interest across three onshore licenses in East Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin. Those licenses cover more than 2 million acres. The release describes the rights as applying across the licenses, not as a uniform interest in every part of the basin.
What does the 13-billion-barrel oil estimate represent?
The release cites independent engineering estimates from Sproule ERCE indicating recoverable oil upside of 13 billion barrels across the basin. It presents this as an estimate of potential recoverable oil, not as a report of discovered or produced reserves. The release also says the basin was evaluated decades ago by ARCO but has never been drilled.
Why can an undrilled basin present both opportunity and risk?
An undrilled basin may offer the possibility of discovering resources in an area that has not been tested by wells. But geological uncertainty remains until drilling provides direct evidence, and remote locations, difficult logistics, permitting requirements, or economic conditions can make exploration more challenging. The release identifies these factors as common features of frontier opportunities.
Which companies are supporting Greenland Energy’s planned 2026 drilling campaign?
The release says Greenland Energy contracted Stampede Drilling for Arctic-rated rig services. It also names agreements with Halliburton, Desgagnés, and IPT Well Solutions to support the 2026 drilling campaign. The release does not describe the specific scope of work assigned to each of those three companies.
