Asian Oilfield Services

What Asian Oilfield Services does

Asian Oilfield Services, now branded Asian Energy Services Limited, is a publicly listed (BSE/NSE: ASIANENE) Mumbai-headquartered provider of integrated upstream energy services. Founded in 1992 and reconstituted under the Oilmax Group in 2016, the company has evolved from a pure-play seismic data acquisition firm into a diversified energy services platform. Its core offerings include 2D and 3D seismic survey services, operations and maintenance (O&M) of production facilities, production facility EPC, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), material handling, and mining development and operations (MDO). The company operates across three countries and reports 23 completed projects with 5 ongoing as well as a 0% lost-time injury frequency (LTIF) safety record.

The business delivers services through technology partnerships with international providers — notably Promore (Russia) for enhanced oil recovery methods and H.A.P.I. Oil & Gas (Korea) for production facility technology — allowing access to proprietary techniques not natively developed in-house. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based EPC contracts and recurring O&M service agreements with upstream oil and gas operators, supplemented by newer material handling and mining contracts. The go-to-market approach combines direct enterprise sales to operators with partnership-led technology transfer to enter adjacent service lines. Customer segments are concentrated in upstream exploration and production companies and, increasingly, mining operators. The leadership team is led by Founder/Director & CEO Ashutosh Kumar and Managing Director Avinash Manchanda, with the parent Oilmax Group providing strategic direction since 2016.
