The Government of Greenland has approved that the next hydrocarbon licensing round will be carried out in the Greenland Sea in 2012 and 2013. The Licensing Round comprises a Pre-round and an Ordinary round of altogether 50,000 km2 chosen from the framed hatched area in the figure.
The area of 50,000 km2 within the Gross Licensing Area will be revealed at the ‘Greenland Day’.
