In detail
How this segment is brokered
What you can broker through this desk
Surface drilling equipment; top drives, rotary tables, drawworks, mud pumps and mud handling systems.
Subsea drilling; BOPs, BOP control systems, marine drilling risers, riser tensioning and lower marine riser packages.
Tubulars and tooling; drill pipe, casing, drill collars, fishing tools, well control tooling.

Market notes
The drilling market is cyclical. Periods of rig retirement and cold stacking create an equipment supply overhang; periods of utilisation tightening create a shortage.
Market intelligence drives our advice to both sides. Buyers understand where pricing is fair; sellers understand what their equipment is worth and when conditions favour a sale.
Subsea BOP; control system and test records packaged with the sale.
Decommissioning and recycling scope
Where drilling equipment exits service, early involvement allows us to monetise the rig and its key components ahead of decommissioning, including high-value items such as top drives, BOPs, risers and mud pumps.
Iron roughneck; refurbishment yard buyer pool active during reactivation cycles.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you broker complete rigs?
We handle complete drilling rig sales through specialist co-broker relationships; jack-ups, semis and drillships included.
What about land rigs?
Offshore, subsea and rig deck equipment is our primary scope. For land drilling requirements, we can usually support clients through specialist co-broker relationships. Get in touch and we will connect you with the right people.
Do you sell oil rigs?
Yes. What the market calls an oil rig is a mobile offshore drilling unit: a jack-up, semi-submersible or drillship. Dockstr brokers complete units and rig packages on a sale or recycling basis through specialist co-broker relationships, alongside the drilling equipment that comes off them.
Are BOPs sold with their control systems?
Usually yes; most BOP sales include the control system, choke and kill manifolds, and recent test records.
Do you cover well intervention equipment?
Yes. Coiled tubing, wireline and well intervention tooling are handled here and through the production equipment desk depending on scope.
How is drilling separated from production at Dockstr?
Drilling covers everything used to drill and complete the well; BOPs, top drives, risers, mud systems, drill pipe. Production covers what stays installed after completion; trees, manifolds, jumpers, process modules, line pipe.
