Abstract

Renewed interest in petroleum exploration in West Greenland led to grants of licences for the Fylla area operated by Statoil in 1996 and the Sisimiut-West area operated by Phillips Petroleum in 1998 (Fig. 1). The first exploration well on one of the spectacular structures in the Fylla area will be drilled in the year 2000. The new exploration strategy is now in place, and a licensing round offshore West Greenland will be held in the year 2001; see details in the Ghexis Newsletter (Ghexis 1999) or the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum’s homepage: www.bmp.gl.
