Halliburton awarded Greenland Energy Arctic drilling contract

(WO) - Halliburton has been awarded a contract by Greenland Energy Company to deliver integrated services for a planned 2026 onshore drilling campaign in Greenland’s Jameson Land basin. 

The scope includes well planning, drilling services and logistics coordination, placing Halliburton at the center of one of the basin’s first modern exploration programs. Located in eastern Greenland, Jameson Land is a frontier area with limited drilling history but identified hydrocarbon potential based on seismic data.

The contract forms part of Greenland Energy’s broader Arctic development strategy, following earlier agreements covering rig services and marine logistics. Together, the arrangements are intended to enable drilling in a region defined by harsh conditions, remote access and limited infrastructure.

“By working with Halliburton, we can tap into world-class expertise and advanced technologies that will enhance drilling accuracy, safety and efficiency under Arctic conditions,” said Greenland Energy CEO Robert Price.

Greenland Energy plans to drill its first two exploration wells in 2026 after more than a year of site preparation and logistics planning. The company holds approximately 2 million acres with multiple identified targets.

Halliburton will focus on integrated execution and technical delivery to support efficient drilling under Arctic conditions.

The campaign reflects growing interest in frontier basins as operators expand exploration beyond established producing regions.
