Oil and Gas Equipment Financing in Midland, TX

Oil and Gas Equipment Financing in Midland, TX

Finance drilling rigs, frac spreads, workover units, and oilfield trucks in Midland, TX. Permian Basin operators approved in days. $50k minimum, B/C credit.

Midland sits at the center of the Permian Basin, the most productive oil-producing region in the United States. When the Permian is running hard, operators in Midland face the same problem repeatedly: the bid is won, the work is there, but the iron is not. Slow capital loses the spread to the competitor who had his financing in place before the call came in. We move faster than that.

We finance oilfield equipment for Midland-based service companies, independent producers, and equipment rental operators working the Delaware and Midland sub-basins. Spreads, rigs, workover units, pump trucks, vacuum trucks, compressor packages, and the fleet of support vehicles that keep a Permian operation running. Minimums start at $50,000 and the sweet spot for most Midland deals runs $100,000 to $500,000 and above. We handle purchase financing, sale-leaseback, refinance, and cash-out structures. B/C credit is considered. Short-form up to roughly $400,000 with three months of bank statements.

The Permian has seen commodity cycles come and go, and so have the operators who survived them. We understand the capital discipline those cycles demand. Our approvals typically land in one to two weeks, which keeps you in front of operators who need a crew fielded now, not next month.

The Permian Basin Economy That Drives Midland

Midland County is the financial and administrative hub of the Permian Basin, and the city's commercial base reflects it almost entirely. The hotel, office, and industrial corridors on Loop 250 and the highway corridors into the basin are built to serve oilfield service companies, E&P operators, and the supply chain behind them. When rig count rises in the Permian, Midland feels it immediately in real estate, employment, and equipment demand.

The Midland Basin (the eastern sub-basin) and the Delaware Basin to the west both feed work into Midland-headquartered service companies. Horizontal drilling into the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring formations drives demand for land drilling rigs, mud systems, and top drives. Completions activity drives demand for frac spread financing, sand logistics, and pump units. Production on the back end drives demand for artificial lift systems, compressor packages, and storage tanks.

The workforce and supply chain here are deep. Midland's industrial parks house coil tubing companies, wireline operators, cementing crews, and the trucking fleets that haul equipment between locations. A financing partner who knows how this equipment is used in the field structures deals differently than a generalist lender who treats a frac pump like a piece of construction machinery.

Equipment We Finance for Midland Operators

The equipment list for a Permian Basin service company is wide. Here is what we regularly place in Midland:

  • Land drilling rigs, top drives, and mud pump systems
  • Frac spreads and individual frac pump units, including high-horsepower electric and conventional configurations
  • Workover rigs and well service rigs
  • Coiled tubing units and wireline trucks
  • Cementing and acidizing units
  • Oilfield vacuum trucks, winch trucks, and hot oil trucks
  • Compressor packages and gas compression skids
  • Pumpjacks and artificial lift equipment
  • Frac tanks and storage tanks
  • Generators and light towers for remote location power
  • Man camp and temporary housing infrastructure for remote crew deployments

New and used equipment both qualify. Used iron in good condition is common in the Permian secondary market, and we finance it without the prejudice that bank lenders often apply to used equipment age.

How the Financing Process Works

Most Midland operators need a clear answer faster than a bank credit committee can turn one. Our process is designed for that reality.

Submit your application with recent operating statements and a description of the equipment. For transactions up to roughly $400,000, that is often all we need to issue a term sheet. Larger transactions may require two years of business tax returns or interim financials. We work with operators who carry B/C credit, including those with prior oilfield downturns on their record. A past bankruptcy or a slow payment year from 2016 or 2020 does not automatically close the door.

After approval, funding typically takes one to two weeks. Wire transfers on closings happen the same day documents are signed. No prolonged title seasoning delays, no drawn-out collateral review processes that assume you are buying a building instead of a piece of rolling iron.

Sale-leaseback is available on equipment you already own. Sale-leaseback lets you pull equity from paid-off or nearly paid-off assets and redeploy that capital into new iron, working capital, or bid bonds without selling the equipment or taking it out of service.

New Equipment vs. the Permian Secondary Market

New equipment carries OEM warranty, current emissions compliance, and known hours from zero. That matters for spreads expected to run sustained high-utilization schedules or for rental company assets that go out under customer contracts with condition requirements.

Used equipment is the financial reality for many Midland-based service companies, particularly after downturns shake loose well-maintained iron at prices well below new. A Permian operator who can identify and acquire good used equipment moves faster and puts less capital at risk than one waiting on OEM delivery. We finance used oilfield equipment with the same urgency we apply to new purchases, and we do not impose arbitrary age cutoffs that exclude equipment with strong remaining service life.

The decision usually comes down to utilization schedule and resale horizon. High-day-rate contracted work often justifies new. Spot market or lower-utilization applications often run on quality used iron at a better cost basis.

The basin does not wait on paperwork. Submit your equipment and revenue details and we will come back with a term sheet, not a questionnaire. Permian Basin operators have been closing deals with us on the timeline the oilfield demands.

Questions before you send the file.

Straight answers about oil and gas equipment financing in midland, tx, documentation, timing, and equipment eligibility.

My company had a rough year during the 2020 downturn and my credit score reflects it. Can I still get financed?

Yes. We regularly work with operators whose credit reflects prior commodity downturns. We look at recent bank statement cash flow, the strength of the equipment as collateral, and the current business trajectory alongside the credit score. A 2020 or 2016 rough patch does not automatically disqualify you.

Can I finance equipment I'm buying from another oilfield company rather than a dealer?

Private-party transactions between oilfield companies are common in the Permian Basin and we handle them regularly. We do need a bill of sale, serial number documentation, and standard title verification, but the process is not materially different from a dealer purchase.

How much can I pull out of equipment I already own free and clear?

Sale-leaseback structures typically allow you to pull 70-90% of appraised value depending on the asset type, age, condition, and your overall credit profile. Newer, higher-demand equipment in good condition gets you closer to the top of that range.

Do you finance partial spreads, or does the whole frac spread need to come through you?

We can finance individual components of a spread, individual pump units, blenders, or support equipment separately. Not every transaction has to be a full-spread deal. If you need two additional pump units to complete a spread you already own, that is a transaction we can structure.

What is the minimum deal size for Midland operators?

Our minimum is $50,000. Most Midland deals we see run considerably higher, in the $150,000 to $2 million range, but we will look at any oilfield equipment deal that clears $50,000 in value.
