The service offerings under the contract include project management, well engineering, provision of a compact workover rig, coiled tubing, wireline services, and a suite of downhole P&A technologies, and the scope covers P&A of three wells. The award highlights the strong complementary capabilities of the two companies, combining SLB’s established deepwater leadership in the region with Archer’s specialist expertise as a P&A service provider.

Dag Skindlo, CEO of Archer, commented on the award, “This integrated deepwater P&A project builds on our momentum following several large P&A contract awards in the North Sea in 2025. The recent acquisitions of the US-based fishing specialists WFR and Premium were key steps in our strategy to position Archer as a leading service provider in the growing deepwater P&A market in the GoA. I would like to thank Equinor for the trust they place in our people and our solutions.”
