Archer acquires isol8 to advance subsea and rigless P&A capabilities

Hamilton, Bermuda (May 22, 2026)

Archer has signed a share purchase agreement to acquire isol8, an innovative well technology company that specialises in alloy-based barrier solutions and advanced materials for use in well completions, intervention, and plug and abandonment (P&A).

These technologies and solutions will expand and grow Archer's plug business and advance our strategy to be the P&A company of choice.

Archer CEO Dag Skindlo commented: "This acquisition brings valuable technologies and talent into Archer. Isol8's solutions will strengthen and expand our leading plug portfolio and advance our subsea and rigless P&A offering. The acquisition reinforces our ability to deliver safe, efficient, and scalable well abandonment solutions to our global customers."

Andrew Louden, Founder and CEO of isol8, commented: "Archer's global reach and established customer base create a strong platform to scale deployment of isol8's technologies across the entire well lifecycle. Together, we have the opportunity to expand adoption of our existing alloy barrier products and accelerate the commercialisation of our emerging metal element technology."

Completion of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals, expected later in Q2 2026.
