Archer lands additional YPF contract for two Vaca Muerta rigs

Archer won a new three-year drilling contract from YPF, with a two-year option, covering two land rigs in Argentina’s Vaca Muerta basin. The award follows the five-year, seven-rig contract Archer signed with YPF in December 2025.

The contract adds rig DLS-160 to Archer’s operations in the basin and secures the continued deployment of rig DLS-163 in support of YPF’s ongoing development activities. It expands Archer’s operating fleet of rigs in the region.
