Pulsar Petroleum

What Pulsar Petroleum does

Pulsar Petroleum is a privately held oilfield services company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Erbil, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It provides integrated oilfield services to oil and gas exploration and production operators across the Kurdistan Region and broader Iraq, with a portfolio spanning drilling fluids engineering, solids control and waste management, wellhead services, Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) installation/maintenance, completion tools supply, chemical supply, integrated project management, and Research & Development. The underlying technology is conventional upstream oilfield services rather than proprietary software platforms; differentiation is described as arising from tailored engineering solutions, localization, and adherence to international standards, with equipment and chemicals sourced through international supplier partnerships.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales: it engages operators directly and delivers services on-site at well locations, with quote-based pricing determined by scope and duration. Revenue derives from a mix of recurring service contracts and project-based engagements with international oil companies and national oil companies active in Kurdistan and Iraq. Demand generation is conducted primarily through industry events (SPE Northern Iraq Section, Kurdistan Energy Gathering), academic engagement at local universities, and a structured technical training catalog (Well Operations, Well Services, Basic Mud School, Drilling Engineering, Well Control, 2-Day Mud School) that doubles as a relationship-building channel with industry professionals. The firm is small — 9 employees — and no funding rounds, revenue figures, or institutional investors are disclosed.
