Procurement Management

Drilling Rig Procurement Management Services

We run your drilling equipment procurement end to end — sourcing, qualifying vendors, negotiating terms, coordinating delivery, and managing documentation. So your team stays focused on drilling, not buying.

Discuss Your Requirements

Procurement in drilling is specialist work

Equipment lead times are long. Vendors need qualifying. Documentation has to be right. A wrong call on a critical piece of kit can delay a well and cost far more than the equipment itself. Most operators and contractors don't have a dedicated procurement function built for this environment — and the ones that do are often stretched thin.

We provide a fully managed procurement service for drilling companies — bringing deep equipment knowledge, established supplier relationships, and the commercial discipline to get things done properly.

What We Manage

01

Equipment Sourcing

We locate the equipment you need through our global network of suppliers across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Whether it's a specific BOP configuration, a full drill string, or OCTG to project spec — we find it and give you honest feedback on options, lead times, and market pricing.

02

Vendor Qualification & Management

We maintain and audit an approved vendor base so you're never buying blind. Every supplier is assessed for certifications, delivery track record, and HSE compliance before they reach your purchase order.

03

Contract Negotiation

We negotiate on your behalf, with full market knowledge of what's fair. Our procurement background means we understand the levers — price, lead time, warranty, and commercial terms — and we use them in your favour.

04

Logistics & Expediting

We coordinate shipping, importation, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery to your project location. We track every order and escalate proactively when timelines are at risk — before they become your problem.

05

Inspection & QA/QC

We verify equipment condition, review documentation, and confirm certifications before anything ships. Mill test reports, inspection records, third-party test results — we check them properly so you don't have to.

06

Inventory & Cost Management

We maintain your equipment register, track procurement spend by project and category, and flag dormant or under-utilised assets before they become a cost. Full visibility, without the admin burden.

Why Rig Sourcing

Built from the inside

Our team has worked in drilling equipment, OCTG, procurement, and asset management — not just around it. We understand why procurement fails in this industry and how to stop it.

Lean and accountable

We're a four-person team. You work directly with the people managing your procurement, not a call centre. We're fast, transparent, and invested in getting it right.

Global supplier network

Based in Aberdeen and Norway, with established relationships across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. We know who to trust and who to avoid — and we've earned that knowledge over years of active trading.

Honest commercial advice

We tell you what things are worth, what the risks are, and when something isn't right — even if that's not what you want to hear. Long-term relationships matter more to us than a single transaction.
