Greenpeace warns of 'oil rush'

Copenhagen - Greenpeace says news that a Scottish energy company has found signs of hydrocarbons off Greenland's coast could spark an oil rush that "would threaten the fragile environment".

Greenpeace spokesperson Ben Stewart said Cairn should have followed the example of oil companies that have suspended deep-water drilling after the spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Edinburgh-based Cairn Energy PLC reported on Tuesday "early indications of a working hydrocarbon system" off western Greenland. It didn't say how much oil or gas had been found.

The company started drilling 175km west of the Disko Island on July 1. Last week, they were granted permission to drill two more deep-water exploration wells off Greenland, a semiautonomous Danish territory.
