OSLO, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Some 51 employees of oil
service group Archer  ARCHA.OL  working at Norway's Ekofisk
oilfield plan strike action from Sept. 27 in a bid to support
union members locked in conflict with a rival company, the
Industri Energi labour union said on Wednesday.
    The planned strike action comes in response to an ongoing
labour conflict at SLB UK, where a group of Industri Energi
members have been on strike since March in a bid to secure a
collective bargaining agreement, the union said.
    If it goes ahead, the strike action at Archer will halt
maintenance work at Ekofisk wells and also impact so-called well
stimulation work at the field, which is operated by
ConocoPhillips  COP.N , Industri Energi added.
