Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Pelican Acquisition Corporation, a SPAC listed on Nasdaq under PELI, is pursuing a business combination with Greenland Energy Company through a structure involving Greenland Exploration Limited, March GL, and Pelican Holdco, Inc. A Form S-4 registration statement with a proxy statement/prospectus was declared effective on February 17, 2026, and Pelican plans to mail the definitive proxy materials for a shareholder meeting to vote on the transaction.

The 8-K describes a series of investor outreach events where Greenland Energy’s CEO Robert Price and incoming director Larry Swets discussed the deal and the underlying oil exploration project in Greenland. In a StoryTrading interview, a Reddit AMA, and an X Spaces discussion, they highlighted that ARCO previously spent about $275 million on seismic work and infrastructure at the Jamieson Land prospect and that Greenland Energy now holds onshore licenses covering roughly two million acres. An independent engineering firm, Sproule, is cited as estimating upside potential of about 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil, with two wells planned beginning around October and expected to cost about $40 million for the first well and $20 million for the second. The filing emphasizes extensive forward-looking statement disclaimers and directs shareholders to the S-4, proxy statement/prospectus, and other SEC filings for detailed risk factors and decision-making information.

Transcript (Organized by Speaker)

 

Ben (StoryTrading)

All right. Welcome, Larry Swets and Robert Price from Greenland Energy Company. We’re talking about this SPAC that’s going to be merging with Greenland Energy Company. Right now its ticker symbol is PELI. That’s Pelican Acquisition Corporation. They’re going to be merging with Greenland Energy Company next week after the vote, if the vote passes.

 

Let’s get started. Executive Chairman Larry, who got involved first with Greenland Energy Company?

 

Larry Swets

Robert is the guy with the oil background and the one who secured the asset that has the most value, so I’ll let him start.

 

 

 Private & Confidential

 

Ben

All right, Robert. Tell us when you got started with this and about the process, how long it took to get up to this point with the pending merger.

 

Robert Price

Greenland has been on my radar and other people’s radar for a very long time. It really started back in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s when ARCO was the sixth largest oil and gas company in the world. They discovered Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, which is the largest oil field in the United States and has been the economic engine of Alaska for the past five decades.

 

After discovering Prudhoe Bay, ARCO had their number one prospect and that was Jameson Land in Greenland. Through macroeconomics, ARCO never drilled it even though they spent about $275 million building an airport, a seaport, and conducting seismic work to prepare for drilling.

 

Our partner Eighty Mile had been mining titanium in northwestern Greenland for over a decade. We acquired these licenses from them. I actually competed against Eighty Mile to get them originally, but later negotiated a transaction with them.

 

We plan to drill two wells this year beginning in September, and we expect to have both wells completed by the end of the year.

 

Ben

Interesting. Where are you based, Robert?

 

Robert Price

I’m in Denver, Colorado, although much of my career was in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I went to law school and specialized in energy law. My first job after law school was managing a bank’s oil and gas trust department, which at the time was the largest oil and gas trust department in the country.

 

2

 Private & Confidential

 

Ben

So you’re in Colorado but the assets are in Greenland. What does the company look like operationally in terms of employees, offices, and assets?

 

Robert Price

We operate from Denver. Halliburton is serving as our project manager, logistics manager, and service provider. I’ve met with their CEO several times and they have assigned their top team to this project.

 

In addition, IPT, a consulting firm with about seventy petroleum engineers, is also helping manage the project.

 

We have already signed the contracts for drilling and mobilizing equipment. We’ve purchased bulldozers, excavators, and housing units for the workers. The equipment will arrive via beach landing, then we will build a road three miles into the site.

 

In September we will bring a larger vessel carrying about three hundred containers of equipment that will begin drilling our well and turning to the right around October 1.

 

Ben

How does the land licensing work? Is this a lease from the Greenland government?

 

Robert Price

Yes. Originally Denmark controlled the licenses when ARCO held them. Denmark had extremely high royalties including surplus royalties and carried interest, which meant they could receive nearly forty percent of the oil while ARCO paid one hundred percent of the costs.

 

ARCO tried to renegotiate when oil prices dropped but Denmark refused. Around that time ARCO laid off about twelve thousand employees and eventually relinquished the license.

 

3

 Private & Confidential

 

Now Greenland controls its own minerals and oil and gas resources. We negotiated a net profits royalty agreement where the maximum Greenland will receive is fifteen percent of net profits.

 

Ben

Only fifteen percent?

 

Robert Price

Yes. And if we are successful, it will be a major economic opportunity for Greenland, similar to how Prudhoe Bay transformed Alaska.

 

Ben

Was there any upfront payment required to secure the license?

 

Robert Price

No. Instead we committed to work programs with Eighty Mile including additional seismic work. We used the original ARCO seismic data and applied modern processing techniques to better identify drilling locations.

 

Ben

Let’s switch over to Larry. Tell us about your background and how you became involved.

 

Larry Swets

I’ve been involved in SPACs for nearly twenty years and have sponsored more than ten of them. My background began as an institutional investor at a large insurance company before I moved into dealmaking.

 

SPACs are simply one tool in the toolkit. When I met Robert while he was looking for capital, I immediately saw that this project was ideal for a SPAC transaction.

 

At the time I didn’t have a SPAC available, so we helped structure the deal and connect it with Pelican Acquisition Corp.

 

4

 Private & Confidential

 

What made the SPAC structure interesting was the opportunity to allow retail investors to participate in this story.

 

Ben

When did this process begin?

 

Robert Price

It’s actually fairly recent. Initially we were considering keeping the company private and brought in some experienced oil and gas investors.

 

After meeting Larry and seeing his experience in the SPAC market, the SPAC route made sense.

 

Ben

Why were you interested in oil last year before the recent geopolitical developments?

 

Larry Swets

For us it wasn’t about predicting oil prices. Oil is a commodity and predicting its price is extremely difficult.

 

The real investment thesis was the asymmetry. This is a project ready to be drilled right now. If oil flows, it creates significant value regardless of whether oil is $20 or $100 per barrel.

 

Ben

How does the geopolitical situation around Greenland affect the project?

 

Robert Price

What’s important is that Greenland may possess one of the largest oil fields in the world.

 

For example, Denmark earned about $65 billion from North Sea royalties and Norway built the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world from North Sea oil.

 

Our petroleum system appears to be the same as the North Sea. Independent engineers estimate an upside potential of 13 billion barrels of oil.

 

5

 Private & Confidential

 

Ben

Thirteen billion barrels?

 

Robert Price

Yes. At current prices that would represent about a trillion dollars worth of oil.

 

Ben

How large is the licensed area?

 

Robert Price

About two million acres, and it is entirely onshore.

 

Ben

And it’s exclusive?

 

Robert Price

Yes, we control the entire basin.

 

Ben

Let’s talk about the SPAC transaction. Larry, what do investors need to know?

 

Larry Swets

Pelican has about $86 million in its trust account. The final amount we receive depends on shareholder redemptions.

 

The company is valued somewhere above $200 million. The exact capital available after the merger will depend on how many shareholders redeem.

 

6

 Private & Confidential

 

Ben

How much money is required to start drilling?

 

Robert Price

The first well will cost about $40 million and the second well about $20 million.

 

Most of the cost for the first well is mobilizing equipment because there is no infrastructure in Greenland.

 

Ben

What companies are involved operationally?

 

Robert Price

Halliburton is handling logistics and drilling services. Stampede Drilling from Calgary will provide the drilling rig. Desgagnés will handle Arctic shipping logistics.

 

Ben

What’s the timeline for drilling?

 

Robert Price

Equipment for building the access road will arrive in late July. The main ship carrying drilling equipment will leave Montreal in September.

 

The ship will arrive shortly after and we expect drilling to begin around October 1.

 

Ben

How long will it take to drill the wells?

 

7

 Private & Confidential

 

Robert Price

Normally an eleven thousand foot well might take one week in Wyoming, but here we will evaluate five potential trapping formations carefully. Each well will take roughly thirty days.

 

Ben

How soon could oil production begin?

 

Robert Price

Discovery and development are different phases. If we find oil, it will still take time and likely partnerships with major oil companies to fully develop the basin.

 

Ben

Larry, any final comments?

 

Larry Swets

As an investor I look for asymmetric opportunities. There are always risks, but the upside potential here is extraordinary if the asset performs as expected.

 

This is the most exciting SPAC transaction I’ve worked on.

 

Ben

Robert, where did the estimate of 13 billion barrels come from?

 

Robert Price

After ARCO relinquished the license they left behind decades of research and thousands of documents. We reprocessed that seismic data and hired an independent engineering firm called Sproule.

 

Sproule reviewed the historical data and our updated analysis and produced the estimate of 13 billion barrels of recoverable oil.

 Private & Confidential

 

Ben

Great. We’ll be following the story. The vote is next week. The current ticker is PELI and after the merger the company will trade as GLND.

 

Thanks for joining us.

 

Robert Price

Thank you for the thoughtful questions.

 

Larry Swets

Thank you.

Canadian2020

Hello everyone on r-SPAC and from Discord, StockTwits, and X. We are live today discussing the Pelican Acquisition Corp and Greenland Energy Company transaction with Robert Price, CEO, and Larry Swets, Executive Chairman. Welcome everyone. How are you both doing?

 

Robert Price

We are well. Great to be here.

 

Larry Swets

Great to be here.

 

 

 Private & Confidential

 

Canadian2020

For viewers just hearing about this transaction today, what is Greenland Energy Company and what opportunity are you pursuing in Greenland?

 

Robert Price

Greenland Energy will be drilling two oil wells in Greenland this year. About $275 million was spent previously by ARCO doing seismic studies and building an airport and seaport. We took all of their data and reprocessed it using modern techniques to identify the best drilling location.

 

ARCO discovered Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, which is the largest oil field in the United States with about 13 billion barrels of oil. Our project in Greenland was actually ARCO’s number one prospect, but it was never drilled due to macroeconomic conditions at the time.

 

We now hold the licenses. We partnered with Halliburton, IPT, and several Canadian firms including Stampede Drilling and Degagne, which will handle shipping logistics.

 

The equipment will be shipped from Montreal. We will land equipment on the beach, build a road roughly three miles inland, and begin drilling. Our independent engineering report suggests the potential could exceed 13 billion barrels of oil, which would make it one of the largest oil fields in the world.

 

Canadian2020

What macroeconomic conditions prevented ARCO from drilling originally?

 

Robert Price

There were three main reasons.

 

After ARCO discovered Prudhoe Bay, they negotiated a very burdensome royalty agreement with Denmark. Denmark received a royalty, a surplus royalty, and a carried working interest totaling roughly 40 percent of the oil.

 

2

 Private & Confidential

 

When oil prices collapsed in the 1980s and early 1990s, ARCO laid off thousands of employees and attempted to renegotiate the agreement. Denmark refused, so ARCO relinquished the licenses and donated the airport and seaport infrastructure to Greenland.

 

We later obtained the licenses and all the historical data, reprocessed it using modern seismic analysis, and now plan to drill two wells by the end of the year.

 

Canadian2020

Global politics suggests oil prices could rise above $100 per barrel. Does that help this project?

 

Robert Price

Absolutely. What we are seeing in the Strait of Hormuz shows how fragile global oil supply chains are.

 

Major discoveries like ExxonMobil’s offshore Guyana field show the importance of new supply sources. If our project succeeds, it could supply oil to Europe and the United States.

 

Our location is about 70 degrees latitude, similar to Prudhoe Bay. Because we are drilling onshore rather than offshore, we believe we could potentially be among the lowest-cost producers globally.

 

Canadian2020

Larry, you have targeted many companies through SPACs. What made this opportunity attractive?

 

Larry Swets

We have been doing SPAC transactions for nearly twenty years and have worked on over a dozen deals.

 

When we saw this opportunity, we believed it was exceptional. I did not have a SPAC available at the time, so we created a holding company called Greenland Exploration and then identified Pelican Acquisition Corp as the appropriate SPAC partner.

 

3

 Private & Confidential

 

What drew me to this opportunity was the ability to deploy capital quickly and begin drilling immediately. There is enormous upside potential here, although of course there is risk as with any exploration project. The geopolitical environment also increases the strategic importance of the asset.

 

Canadian2020

What roles will each of you play once the company becomes public?

 

Larry Swets

I will serve as Executive Chairman and Robert will serve as CEO.

 

My role will focus on building the public company structure, including the board of directors, investor relations strategy, accounting and reporting systems, and ensuring that all regulatory filings are completed properly.

 

Robert will focus primarily on the operational side, particularly drilling and oil recovery.

 

Robert Price

Operationally we are partnering with Halliburton as our project and logistics manager. Stampede Drilling will provide the drilling rig and Degagne will handle shipping.

 

A vessel carrying about 300 containers of equipment will leave Montreal in September. Once the equipment arrives in Greenland, we will transport it about three miles inland to the drilling site and begin drilling around October.

 

Because this basin has never been drilled before, we will move slowly and carefully. We will evaluate five separate geological formations while drilling and gather extensive data at each stage.

 Private & Confidential

 

Canadian2020

How should investors think about the approximately $215 million valuation of the combined company?

 

Larry Swets

I think about this company more like a binomial outcome rather than a traditional valuation model.

 

We are an asset-based exploration company that does not yet generate revenue. The key asset is our right to develop roughly 70 percent of the Jamieson Basin. That asset itself has intrinsic value.

 

Drilling the first two wells secures that position and significantly increases the value of the project.

 

Canadian2020

Robert, you are working with companies like Halliburton. What gives you confidence in these partners?

 

Robert Price

I have worked with Halliburton extensively throughout my career. I met with their CEO Jeff Miller and they assigned their top team to this project.

 

I previously drilled horizontal wells in the Williston Basin and later worked in the Colorado-Julesburg Basin. Halliburton even took a 20 percent stake in some of my wells.

 

IPT is another key partner. Their managing director spent many years drilling wells in Siberia and has extensive Arctic experience.

 

5

 Private & Confidential

 

Canadian2020

What risks should investors realistically consider?

 

Robert Price

The biggest challenge in the Arctic is logistics.

 

We conduct daily planning calls with our engineering teams and contractors. We focus heavily on redundancy so that equipment failures or delays do not disrupt operations.

 

If necessary we could airlift equipment using heavy-lift helicopters, but that would be a last resort because it is expensive.

 

Canadian2020

What differentiates Greenland Energy from other exploration companies?

 

Robert Price

Most small companies drill for relatively small discoveries. I have drilled wells that discovered millions of barrels of oil, but very rarely does a small company have the opportunity to target billions of barrels.

 

Our project covers roughly two million acres across an entire basin. We will drill through five different formations, each with potential.

 

Canadian2020

What would success look like in the next five years?

The key priorities are smooth logistics, operational safety, and confirming the geological potential through drilling.

 

If the science proves correct, it could create enormous value for shareholders.

Even drilling the first well and gathering data creates value. This basin is part of the same petroleum system as the North Sea. Oil seeps have already been identified and genetically matched to North Sea crude.

 

The question now is how much oil exists and where it is trapped.

Any final thoughts for the community?

One reason I became involved in SPACs was to allow individual investors to participate in opportunities that would otherwise be reserved for large institutional investors.

 

This project offers a unique asymmetric risk-reward profile. It carries risk, but the upside could be extraordinary.

 

Robert Price

Thank you to everyone who spent time with us today. We appreciate the opportunity to discuss the project.

Thank you both for joining us. Hopefully we will do a follow-up interview once drilling begins. Thanks everyone.

 

End of AMA.
