Reduce Costs. Reduce Downtime. Reduce Carbon.

Operator Asset Exchange (OAE) is a private, operator-only network that enables operators to find equipment they need and make surplus equipment visible to other operators globally—reducing lead times, lowering costs and improving equipment utilisation.

Find Equipment You Need. List Equipment You No Longer Need.

OAE works in both directions. Operators can search the network for critical equipment while making surplus inventory from completed campaigns, contingency stock and changing requirements visible to other operators who may be able to use it.

Make Surplus Inventory Visible

List serviceable equipment that is no longer required by the holding asset or campaign, together with the technical details, location and availability another operator needs to assess it.

Improve Equipment Utilisation

Give idle equipment a practical route back into operations instead of allowing valuable inventory to remain unseen in yards, warehouses and local spreadsheets.

Recover Commercial Value

Create opportunities to transfer or sell surplus equipment directly between operators while each company retains control of technical assurance, commercial terms and logistics.

Source From Existing Operator Inventory

OAE gives wells and supply-chain teams a practical first check when equipment is urgently required or conventional lead times are unacceptable.
