From 1970 to 1977 approximately 40000 km of multichannel seismic data were acquired between latitudes 63°N and 68°N on the continental shelf of southern West Greenland. In 1976 and 1977 five wells were drilled to explore for hydrocarbons, but all of them were dry. All exploration licences were relinquished by 1979.
