The formation of Greenland Energy Company through a completed business combination marks a significant development in Arctic energy exploration, with the newly formed entity set to begin trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker GLND on March 26, 2026. This transaction combines Pelican Acquisition Corp. with Pelican Holdco Inc., Greenland Exploration Limited and March GL Company, creating a focused entity dedicated to developing Greenland's substantial energy resources.
The importance of this development lies in the scale of the resource being targeted. The Jameson Land Basin in East Greenland represents one of the last major undrilled hydrocarbon basins in the world, with reprocessed seismic data identifying more than 50 oil and gas targets. Independent estimates suggest the basin could contain up to 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil, a resource that could significantly impact global energy markets if successfully developed. The company is preparing for initial drilling supported by established infrastructure, logistics partnerships and key service providers.
March GL Company, a privately-owned Texas Corporation, has entered into an agreement with 80 Mile for drilling to commence at the Jameson oil and gas basin. According to the announcement, March GL will fund 100% of the costs associated with up to two exploration wells designed to delineate the sedimentary structure and energy potential of the Jameson Land Basin. In return, March GL will earn through 80 Mile's subsidiary company up to 70% interest in the entire basin and will be appointed as the Field Operations Manager. More information about March GL Company is available on its website at https://www.MarchGL.com.
Greenland Exploration Limited, a Texas-based entity focused on developing strategic positions in North American energy assets, brings its partnership approach to the combined company. Through its partnerships, Greenland aims to deliver long-term shareholder value in a dynamic and evolving energy market.

The implications of this business combination extend beyond the immediate corporate restructuring. Successful development of Greenland's energy resources could alter global energy supply dynamics, create new economic opportunities for Greenland, and test the viability of Arctic energy extraction in an era of increasing environmental scrutiny. The transition from special purpose acquisition company to operational energy company represents a critical milestone that will determine whether theoretical resource estimates can translate into commercially viable production.
