Archer ( (ARHVF) ) just unveiled an update.

Archer has entered into an agreement with a local buyer for the potential sale of its workover business in southern Argentina, covering operations in the Chubut and Santa Cruz provinces and including 12 workover rigs, 12 pulling units and around 750 employees, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions and with no assurance of completion. Post-divestment, Archer’s land drilling business would be more heavily focused on providing drilling and workover services in the unconventional Vaca Muerta field, where it recently secured a five-year, approximately $600 million contract with YPF, signaling a strategic shift toward higher-growth unconventional assets in Argentina and a potential reshaping of its regional footprint and resource allocation.
