Greenland - a Challenge for Experts The probabilities of commercialising oil offshore Greenland are increasing Deposits of seeping rock oil have for a time been known to the original inhabitants – the Inuits - living in Greenland. During the latest investigations in the search for new Danish oil and gas fi elds, the spotlight has now been turned on the sea off Eastern Greenland. The latest indications from GEUS (the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland) indicate increased probabilities of fi nding oil in the area north of 75° N, north of the Diskos Island. – The reserves are half of what we previously had assumed, but the probability of actually fi nding oil has increased signifi - cantly following our latest research, State Geologist Flemming Getreuer Christiansen, GEUS, explains. 40 Offshore Center Danmark Yearbook 2008 – Investigations from September 2007 indicate 31 billion barrels (4.9 billion m 3) of oil and gas equivalents in the underground, and this is around one third of the total reserves of the entire North Sea. - At the same time, the probability of actually fi nding oil in commercial quantities has increased substantially, and if our current estimates are correct, Eastern Greenland will be number 19 in the world, in terms of the size of oil deposits – out of the 500 registered locations, Flemming Getreuer Christiansen concludes. Unrealistic oil adventure in the Arctic Ocean Whilst the probability of fi nding oil in offshore Eastern Greenland has risen dramatically, the chances of fi nding oil in the Arctic Ocean in the area around the North Pole are much less doubtful, a sceptical Flemming Getreuer Christiansen, GEUS, states. - Due to the very compact and thick ice cover, we have only a very limited amount of data on the underground. It will be unrealistic to carry out any form of oil exploration in these areas for many years to come, he states. - Asked for a realistic time frame, Flemming Getreuer Christiansen mentions that 50 years are not unrealistic. This is in contrast with 5- 10 years in the area north of the Diskos Island. When it comes to Western Greenland, the prospects are longer, and with high costs due to the extreme weather and many icebergs opening an operation window of only 140-160 days per year. Any oil found here will have to be available in very large quantities to be commercially exploitable. ■
