Greenland authorities are still processing applications tied to the planned Jameson Land drilling campaign, with final approval for the operation still outstanding.
In an email to GreenlandEnergy.com, Kim Zinck Jørgensen, Head of Department in Greenland’s Inspection and Technical Department, said a public consultation process is required before final approval of the EIA and SIA can be granted and a drilling operation can be approved.
“A public consultation process is required before a final approval of the EIA and SIA can be granted and a drilling operation can be approved, and this process hasn’t been completed yet.”

The response is the clearest official indication so far that the Jameson Land project remains in the approvals phase. It also sharpens the practical question facing the 2026 campaign: how much workable time will remain once approvals, mobilization, and field operations all have to line up.
In East Greenland, consultation, permitting, shipping, equipment staging, and drilling all still have to fit inside a seasonal operating window that becomes less forgiving as the year moves on.
Greenland Energy Company’s Jameson Land campaign remains a live project, but it is still moving through a regulatory process with limited room for slippage if a second-half 2026 drilling plan is to stay on track.
