Resumé
Greenland is appropriately classified by petroleum geologists as a frontier area, but like other Arctic areas it has attracted increasing interest in recent years. Encouraging finds of gas and oil have already been made in the Canadian Arctic Islands, and oil has been discovered in the Romulus well on the west ern side of Ellesmere Island (latitude 80°N) only 300 km from the coast of North Greenland. Two wells on the Labrador shelf yielded substantial amounts of gas on test during 1974. No wells have been drilled onshore or offshore Greenland at the time of writing.
