What Oilserv does

Oilserv is a Dubai-headquartered, privately-held integrated oilfield services company founded in 2006 that delivers the full lifecycle of upstream oil and gas services to international and national oil companies operating in the Middle East, North Africa, and increasingly West Africa. The company operates through eight core service lines — Integrated Drilling and Workover Services, Cementing/Stimulation/Coiled Tubing, Wireline Logging, Drilling Services (directional, rotary steerable, MWD/LWD, MPD, mud logging), Fluids and Solids Management, Well Testing and Completion, Workover Rigs and Services, and Production and Energy Solutions (including Early Production Facilities from 1,000 to 50,000 bpd) — delivered either as discrete services or as fully integrated full-field management contracts.

Underlying the service portfolio is an in-house technology stack anchored by proprietary safety and training systems (ORBIS risk and barrier reporting, OSCAR behavioral-based safety, and the OLU learning management system), a European R&D and manufacturing center supporting wireline logging tools, and North American engineering centers in Calgary and Houston backing rotary steerable, MWD/LWD, and managed pressure drilling capabilities. Field assets include one of the largest coiled tubing fleets in MENA, a large surface mud logging fleet with real-time monitoring, advanced cementing systems spanning lightweight to 21 ppg slurries, and a workover rig fleet with 1000 HP and super single fast-moving rigs. The company also executes large pipeline infrastructure projects, including the AKK gas pipeline (100% main pipeline welding completed) and the OB3 pipeline flowing at 300 million scf/d.

Oilserv generates revenue on a project-based, professional services model through multi-year Technical Service Agreements, project-based contracts, and EPF/EPCM arrangements (including BOO/BOOT and lease-to-own). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, engaging IOC and NOC clients directly through collaborative technical solution design, supported by QHSE credentials (ISO 9001, ISO/TS 29001, OHSAS 18001, ISO 14001) and operating offices across Algeria, Kurdistan-Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, the UAE, and increasingly Nigeria. Pricing is custom and quote-driven, with no publicly disclosed rate card, reflecting the bespoke nature of integrated upstream contracts.
