AUSTIN, Texas, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnergyWireNews: Global energy markets are once again confronting a familiar vulnerability. Rising instability in the Middle East and renewed concerns surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, a shipping corridor that handles roughly 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption, have intensified calls for the United States and Europe to strengthen long-term energy independence. As governments and industries reassess the risks tied to overseas supply disruptions, attention is increasingly turning toward politically aligned regions capable of delivering substantial new energy resources. Against this backdrop, Greenland Energy Company (NASDAQ: GLND) (profile) is advancing an Arctic exploration strategy centered on Greenland’s Jameson Land Basin where, after drilling two targeted wells later this year, the company anticipates securing rights to 70% of the basin and its estimated potential of up to 13 billion barrels of oil. The company recently strengthened that strategy through a newly announced agreement with Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) for integrated consulting, drilling and logistical support tied to its 2026 exploration campaign. Together with earlier agreements involving drilling and Arctic logistics partners, the Halliburton announcement highlights Greenland Energy’s effort to build a fully integrated operational platform aimed at unlocking one of the world’s most closely watched frontier energy opportunities.
