Fredriksen-controlled company Archer has landed a new five-year contract with US oil major Chevron.

The contract entails services such as drilling and maintenance of rigs in the British North Sea, where the US company operates. The deal is effective from May 1, 2019, with a term expiring in 2024 at the earliest. Chevron then holds options to extend the agreement twice with one-year terms.
