What Eftech does

EFTECH is a privately held Malaysian oil and gas services company headquartered in Johor Bahru, operating across both upstream and downstream segments for over 20 years since its 2001 founding. The company serves international oil companies (IOCs) and national oil companies (NOCs) — including PETRONAS, Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Total, BP, Mubadala Petroleum, PTTEP, and Hibiscus Petroleum — with services spanning nine or more countries across Southeast Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, Central America, and Central Asia. EFTECH holds ISO 9001:2008 certification and FULL STAR ratings from both PETRONAS and Shell, and reports execution of over 1,000 projects. The Group comprises EFTECH International Sdn Bhd (downstream/process and pipeline services) and its wholly-owned subsidiary EFTECH Energy Solutions Sdn Bhd (upstream drilling and digitalization), with a registered Australian entity supporting Asia-Pacific operations.

The company's product and technology portfolio spans four layers: (1) proprietary software including MyGali (AI-based stuck pipe prediction), MyPlantar (digital rig planner/scheduler), MyTelaga (knowledge management), DWOS (drilling simulator via Drilling Systems partnership), and AIMS (electronic flange management); (2) managed services centered on the Integrated Real Time Operation Center (I-RTOC), the first local RTOC in Malaysia, providing 24/7 monitoring across multiple international drilling operations; (3) patented downhole tools and specialty products including Screen Saver Valve, F-1 Cable Clamp, BoltEx (bolt exchange clamp), and Dry-Flo (the only verified dry deluge testing system, via Paradigm partnership); and (4) downstream process and pipeline services including flange management, bolting and machining, nitrogen purging and helium leak testing, PSV and valve services, HP water jetting, camera inspection, pressure testing, chemical cleaning, and air blowing. The company operates via a B2B direct enterprise sales model, project-based and quote-driven, with services priced per engagement rather than through disclosed subscription tiers for the core services; software products introduce a recurring subscription revenue layer. EFTECH maintains industry presence through technical paper publications, oil and gas exhibitions (OGA, ADNOC, MOGSEC, Adipec, OTC Asia), and academic partnerships with UiTM and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS.
