Dag Skindlo, CEO of Archer, comments:

“I am pleased that Archer continue to deliver strong operational results, also in Q1 2021.  We continue to expand our service offering within brownfield operation, driving improvements in our profitability while securing our liquidity position.

Archer has so far in 2021 successfully secured a backlog of NOK 3.5 billion for execution over the next 5 years in our wireline division.  The contract awards create scale and gives us a unique opportunity to further develop our “OneArcher” operating model and create value for our customers.  The recently announced acquisition of DeepWell builds on the strength of our Well Services division within brownfield and safe plugging and abandonment of wells. The strategic acquisition is accretive both to Archer’s NIBD / EBITDA ratio and EV / EBITDA ratio.”
