    HAMILTON, Bermuda – TAQA has contracted the modular rig Archer Topaz for a 21-well P&A campaign from the Cormorant Alpha platform in the UK northern North Sea.

    Archer’s Engineering, Rentals, Oiltools and Wireline divisions will support the campaign, with the company also managing and importing cementing, swarf and re-injection services from third-party providers.

    The Archer Topaz is expected to mobilize to the platform in the second half of next year following removal of Cormorant Alpha’s derrick equipment set, and reactivation activities by Archer’s Engineering division.
