Manufacturing Support
The right machine shop for the job, already vetted.
We connect oil & gas equipment companies with trusted machine shops and specialist manufacturers for machining, repair and manufacturing.
The manufacturing challenge
Common manufacturing problems in the region, and how we help
Downhole tools need machining, repair and replacement parts throughout their lifecycle. Getting the right work done to the right standard, close to where the tools are being used, isn’t always straightforward
Finding a shop you can trust
Finding the right machine shop is difficult when you don’t know which suppliers consistently deliver quality and on time.
How we help
We recommend shops from our own network, where we can vouch for their capability and track record.
Capability and capacity
Not every shop can handle tight tolerances, specialist alloys or large and complex parts — and the right shops are often busy.
How we help
We match the work to a shop with the right machines, experience and availability, so you are not left chasing quotes.
Slow turnaround on repairs
Sending tools back to a central workshop for repair or rework can take them out of service for weeks.
How we help
Local repair, redress and recut options keep tools in the region and back in the field sooner.
Quality and traceability
Oilfield work demands traceability, material certification, inspection records and documented quality processes.
How we help
We point you to shops that work to the standards your customers expect and can supply the documentation to prove it.
Shipping parts in from overseas
Freight, customs and long lead times can add cost and risk to repairs, spares and replacement parts.
How we help
Parts made locally to drawing or sample shorten lead times and reduce what you need to ship and stock.
No local manufacturing base
We use our network as your local manufacturing capability while you build the business before committing to your own facility
How we help
Use our network as your local manufacturing capability while you build the business, before investing in your own.
