According to published information, it is an American company linked to oil drilling. Greenlandic authorities informed the company that it does not have permission for the planned exploration. The case attracted attention also because Greenland is a sensitive territory in terms of natural resources, political control, and foreign companies' interest in mineral wealth. postoj.sk ↗

From available articles, it appears that the core of the dispute is the very intent to conduct exploratory work without the consent of local authorities. No further details are provided about the scope of the planned drilling, the exact location, or whether the company responded to the warning.
