The merger of Pelican Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: PELI), March GL, and Greenland Exploration Ltd. will form Greenland Energy Company, which plans to drill the first modern exploration wells in Greenland's remote Jameson Land basin. This frontier petroleum system is estimated by some geologists to contain over 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil. Veteran oil executive Robert Price is expected to lead the combined company once the transaction closes on March 17, after which the entity will begin trading under the ticker GLND.
The drilling campaign will target structures identified through approximately 1,800 kilometers of seismic data originally collected by Atlantic Richfield in the 1980s. This data has been recently reinterpreted using modern imaging technology. If successful, the wells could confirm one of the largest undeveloped petroleum systems in the Arctic. This development comes amid growing geopolitical competition and renewed interest in Arctic resources, potentially positioning Greenland as a new strategic energy frontier.
March GL Company, a privately-owned Texas corporation, has entered into an agreement to fund 100% of the costs associated with up to two exploration wells. These wells are designed to delineate the sedimentary structure and energy potential of the Jameson Land Basin. In return, March GL will earn through a subsidiary company up to 70% interest in the entire basin and will be appointed as the Field Operations Manager.
