The extension will commence November 1, 2020 in direct continuation of the current contract. Over the next two years Archer will continue to deliver drilling operations, maintenance and intervention support services including the provision of well services and rental equipment.

In addition, Archer’s engineering team has been contracted to conduct one rig reactivation, as well as provide brownfield engineering and operation preparational support to the other six assets.

Dag Skindlo, CEO of Archer comments:

“We are delighted that our client has elected to continue their relationship with Archer. This contract extension reflects our client’s confidence in our ability to maintain safe operations whilst delivering improvements to both the drilling facilities and to the platform drilling and well intervention operations on their assets. This extension testaments the hard work and dedication of our personnel who have been supporting these assets since 2015. We firmly believe this extension is a result of Archer’s continual commitment to provide our clients with solutions to improve well delivery, integrity and performance”.
