Our Mission
To connect verified operators with the equipment they need, when they need it, through a secure and trusted operator-to-operator network.
About OAE
Connecting operators. Moving equipment. Building a more efficient and sustainable industry.
Operator Asset Exchange is a private, operator-only network that enables drilling, completions and supply-chain teams to source critical equipment directly from other operators.
OAE was created to reduce friction in equipment sourcing, shorten lead times, improve inventory utilisation and help operators avoid unnecessary procurement and manufacturing.
Why OAE Exists
Every operator holds equipment that another operator may urgently need. OAE creates the trusted connection that has traditionally been missing.
Our Vision
To establish a global standard for secure operator-to-operator equipment visibility, sourcing and collaboration across the upstream industry.
Our Values
We put operators first, with a practical, trusted and collaborative approach focused on efficiency, commercial value and responsible equipment use.

Built from Industry Experience
Operator Asset Exchange is built and supported by experienced oil and gas professionals who understand the operational challenges faced by operators. With over 100 years of combined experience across operators and service companies, together with more than 50 years of experience developing software for the oil and gas industry, we bridge the gap between field operations, commercial objectives and digital technology to deliver software that solves real industry challenges.
The platform addresses a practical problem seen repeatedly across the industry: suitable equipment may already exist within another operator's inventory, but there is no efficient way to know that it is available.
OAE provides a secure framework for operators to improve visibility, make direct contact and agree commercial arrangements independently.
It is not a broker, auction platform or public marketplace. Operators retain control of their equipment data, communications and commercial decisions.
