Drilling remains pushed back to the winter of 2027, while the US company says it could be close to a major discovery and Greenlanders are lining up against the project, the New York Times reports.
The dispute is over who sets the pace of oil drilling off Greenland. Greenlandic authorities control the permits and the timetable, while US interests, among them the Trump-connected company Greenland Energy, are pressing to open Arctic wells quickly.
A US oil company says it could be on the verge of a major discovery in Greenland, but people on the island are lining up against the project, the New York Times reported. The National reported that Greenland has delayed the venture's drilling plans, pushing the wells back to the winter of 2027.
Greenlandic authorities have made Greenland Energy, a US company connected to Donald Trump, postpone its planned wells, so drilling could now begin only in the winter of 2027. A US envoy had claimed Americans could be extracting crude as early as next year.
