Canadian drilling firm says it did not move unpermitted rig to Greenland
Greenland Energy says it will delay drilling until 'winter 2027' and seek additional permits from Greenlandic authorities after being warned against setting up unauthorized gear.
An Alberta-based drilling company faces controversy after allegedly transporting unapproved equipment to Greenland. U.S.-based oil firm Greenland Energy had moved drilling machinery to the Danish territory's eastern coast, prompting a response from Greenland. The company announced a delay in drilling, set to commence in winter 2027, pending necessary regulatory approvals.
Stampede Drilling, contracted by Greenland Energy, stated it would not deploy its rig without obtaining all required consents. Greenland asserts the plans are unauthorized and lacks the essential permits.
