| Summary: | et al. 1994). Since then the search for surface oil show-ings by GGU (from 1995 by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, GEUS) has resulted in finds over an area extending from northern Disko through Nuussuaq to the south-east corner of Svartenhuk Halvø (Christiansen et al. 1997, 1998, this volume). In addi-tion, slim core drilling by GGU and grønArctic Energy Inc., the holder of an exclusive licence in western Nuussuaq, penetrated oil-saturated rocks at four local-ities (Christiansen et al. 1996). Encouraged by these results, grønArctic drilled a conventional exploration well (GRO#3) to 2996 m in 1996 (Christiansen et al. 1997), but details about this have not been released. The net effect of these efforts has been to dispel partially the formerly widespread view that the West Greenland area |
