Greenland Energy (GLND) stock jumped 12% on Thursday after recent buys by Citadel Securities and its founder and investor, Ken Griffin, boosted investor confidence. 

GLND stock gained for the second time in seven sessions. The oil exploration company also saw a member of its board boost his holdings in the firm, adding to positive sentiment. 

On May 6, 2026, Larry G. Swets, Jr., a member of the GLND board, acquired 25,000 shares of common stock for a total value of $69,750. The common stock was purchased at a price of $2.79 per share. Following this transaction, Swets directly holds 500,000 shares of Greenland Energy common stock.

As per SEC filings on May 6, Citadel revealed it bought 4.29 million shares, a 9.2% stake, and Kenneth Griffin is reported to beneficially own 4.31 million shares, which sums up to a 9.3% stake in GLND. 

The stake percentages are calculated using 46.5 million GLND outstanding shares as of April 29, 2026, per the SEC.  

GLND also recently signed a consultation agreement with Halliburton for its 2026 onshore drilling campaign in the Jameson Land Basin, East Greenland. Halliburton is a Texas-based energy firm that specializes in oilfield services, including drilling, formation evaluation, cementing, stimulation, and completion.

An independent resource evaluation conducted in 2025 confirmed that the Jameson Land basin had potential for over 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil, ranking it as the 13th-largest undeveloped oil accumulation globally. 

GLND And Halliburton’s Agreement 

Greenland Energy, in the last week of April, announced the signing of an agreement with Halliburton (HAL) for integrated consulting services and logistical management relating to the planning, coordination, handling, and transportation of equipment, services, and goods. 

The agreement includes well and drilling services for Greenland Energy's onshore campaign in the Jameson Land Basin. Building on Greenland Energy's previously announced strategic agreements with Stampede Drilling and Desgagnes, the agreement with Halliburton forms a key component of the company's integrated Arctic operations strategy. Together, these arrangements ensure rig performance, logistics, and subsurface technology for the first onshore exploration well in the Jameson Land Basin of Greenland.
