Archer Limited has signed a term sheet with Baker Hughes to potentially acquire Baker Hughes’ coil tubing and pumping (“CT&P”) business in the United Kingdom. The CT&P business fits well within Archer’s overall strategy to grow our drilling and well services in UK and to further grow our integrated P&A service offering.  

Baker Hughes is divesting the CT&P business as a part of a remedy package offered to the UK Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”). The CMA is undertaking a public consultation process with Archer and one other potential purchaser, which is expected to conclude by February 1, 2023. 
   
The contemplated transaction is subject to Archer being selected as the preferred purchaser by Baker Hughes, definitive agreements, final approval by the CMA, and Archer Board approval.
