On October 1, 2018, Archer transitioned four new existing operations to the “Drilling Services Platforms” contract with Equinor, previously awarded on April 3, 2018

Archer now provides integrated drilling, engineering, rentals, and well services on 13 of Equinor’s 20 drilling platforms and production quarters (PDQ) on the Norwegian continental shelf, the company reported this Wednesday.

Joachim Bengtsson, Archer’s Operations Manager at Equinor, stated: “Following the contract award in April, our onshore and offshore teams have worked tirelessly to ensure a safe and effective start and transition across all platforms. We have Archer teams and service providers with cross-training, in addition to increasing our workforce by over 400 employees.”

According to the company, the new contract scope, along with the four additional platforms (Grane, Gullfaks A, B, C), has significantly boosted the Archer employee family by over 1,000 employees dedicated to providing operational excellence and ensuring maximum value through total well cost reduction for Equinor.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

Coconut husks become natural logs to protect eroding coasts in the USA, with biodegradable fibers used in living shorelines to hold plants, reduce wave force, and restore areas destroyed by storms like Sandy in New Jersey.

Tiny blue octopus discovered in the depths near the Galápagos Islands: the small animal, the size of a golf ball, was found at almost 1,800 meters deep and surprised scientists, who reveal they have never seen a creature like this in the depths of the tropical Pacific.

The self-working litter box: smart bathroom uses AI to recognize up to 5 cats, automatically separates waste, controls odor, and transforms pet hygiene into a routine monitored by a smartphone.

More than 1,000 Brazilian cities are already at high or very high risk of landslides, and projections indicate that one-third of the country could enter the danger zone by 2030.

Europe tests solar barriers on roads and the project could generate 25 MWh per km per year.
