PM&F FISHING OIL SERVICES S.A.

What PM&F FISHING OIL SERVICES S.A. does

PM&F Fishing Oil Services S.A. is a Colombian oilfield services firm founded in 2005, headquartered at Av Carrera 19 No 97-31 in Bogota (NIT 900112872) with ~20 employees. The company specializes in well "fishing" — the recovery of stuck, lost, or broken equipment, tubulars, and debris from petroleum wells — addressing operational incidents that block drilling or production and threaten operator capital. Its offering spans two main product lines: Thru Tubing Tools (anchors, jars, overshots, spears, cutters, magnets, circulation subs, flapper valves, wash tools, etc.) and Conventional Fishing Tools organized into nine sub-categories covering grip tools, impact tools, junk recovery, grinding/washing, scraping/cleaning, sizing/uncollapsing, cutting, wireline spears, and accessory support. Underlying technology is based on third-party American-made tools sourced from manufacturers including Bowen, Logan Oil Tools, and Bilco, supplemented by in-house customization and an assembly/workshop capability for adapting tools to special applications.

The business model is professional services / tool rental: PM&F generates revenue from (i) rental and supply of fishing tools for open- and cased-hole operations, (ii) custom tool design and adaptation for workovers, (iii) advisory and planning services including incident-history analysis and contingency planning, and (iv) on-site technical supervision during fishing jobs. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with multi-year contracts possible; no public pricing exists. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: the firm engages oil and gas operators in Colombia through a corporate website (pmffishing.com) featuring a service-request modal, plus phone-based inbound and direct enterprise outreach. Operational delivery is anchored by a primary base in Barrancabermeja (Magdalena Medio oil region) and a warehouse in Mosquera, in addition to the Bogota office, providing geographic proximity to Colombia's main onshore producing basins. The firm holds quality certifications (GA 568, GS 958, GC 661), SAGRILAFT compliance (2025), and Carbon Neutral / Corporate Inventory ESG certifications (2025), collectively positioning it for enterprise and IOC-approved-vendor lists.
