BEYOND its core business of drilling tools and components, Oilfield Services & Supplies (OSS) is transforming for a greener future. In early 2022, it invested in Dutch climate start-up FlexBase International – which has a Singapore office – for a pilot floating platform project.
FlexBase International develops floating structures in a way that minimises the use of concrete and steel, thus reducing the carbon footprint of such structures. Said OSS’ business development manager Kenneth Loh: “We believe that FlexBase can leverage its technical expertise and experience in prior projects to establish successful operating models in Asia.”

But the FlexBase move was part of its diversification strategy: identifying solution providers which are focused on key future themes such as climate change adaptability and environmental sustainability.
