Pleasanton, TX

Pleasanton sits in Atascosa County, which has a longer oil-production history than most of its Eagle Ford neighbors. Production here started well before the shale boom, and the county's legacy vertical wells have been joined by horizontal Eagle Ford completions that transformed the economics of the area after 2010. That layered production history means there's a steady mix of conventional workover activity alongside the hydraulic fracturing and production operations that came with the horizontal play. Service companies working this county need equipment that can handle both.

We provide equipment financing to oilfield service companies and independent producers operating in Pleasanton, Jourdanton, Poteet, and the broader Atascosa County basin. The minimum ticket is $50,000, with the bulk of our deals falling between $100,000 and $1.5 million. We fund workover rigs, pump trucks, production equipment trains, and oilfield trucking assets. Funding typically completes within one to two weeks of application.

Atascosa County operators have an advantage that some newer Eagle Ford plays lack: established infrastructure, existing gathering systems, and a mature service ecosystem. The drawback is that equipment running conventional recompletions sometimes has more hours on it than operators in greener plays would accept. We finance strong used iron here regularly. If the machine works and there's a real market for it, the age of the collateral is a data point, not an automatic disqualifier.

Equipment Running in Atascosa County

The equipment mix in Atascosa County reflects the dual nature of the play. Conventional vertical wells, some of which have produced since the mid-20th century, require ongoing workover and artificial lift maintenance. Eagle Ford horizontals demand completion-era equipment including frac equipment, coiled tubing units, and production separators.

Workover rigs are the dominant financing request for this geography. Rigs of various sizes handle recompletions, pump changes, and well abandonments across the county's conventional production base. A 150-ton workover rig running in Atascosa County typically logs enough days per year to make financing terms comfortable, particularly when a service company has established relationships with producers who run steady programs.

Artificial lift equipment is another high-volume category. As wells age and reservoir pressure drops, operators convert to rod pump, ESP, or gas lift systems, and the service companies installing and maintaining that equipment need both the lift systems and the workover rigs to run them. We finance the full package in either a single transaction or separate deals on each unit.

Vacuum trucks and water handling equipment move produced water and frac flowback from leases to SWD facilities. Atascosa County has meaningful saltwater disposal capacity, and the trucking operators running produced water are some of the more consistent borrowers we see because their revenue is tied to production rather than commodity price swings, making cash flow predictable even through price cycles.

How Fast We Move on a Deal

Oilfield operators don't have the luxury of waiting two months for bank credit committees. An operator needs a rig on location next week or the contract goes to a competitor who can field one. We built our process around that reality.

The basic sequence is straightforward: you submit an application and three months of bank statements. For deals under approximately $400,000, that's often enough to get to a decision. Credit review happens in-house, not through a committee that meets quarterly. A decision comes back in days. Once you accept terms, we order documents, you sign, and funds hit the seller or dealer within a few business days.

Larger deals, generally above $400,000, require full financials and sometimes an equipment appraisal, but even those transactions are measured in days from complete file to funding, not the weeks or months a traditional bank lender would take. Short-form financing is available up to roughly $400,000 for qualified borrowers, and that program covers a significant share of single-unit deals for workover rigs, pump trucks, and similar oilfield assets.

New Iron vs. Used Equipment in Atascosa County

Both categories are active in this market. Dealers in San Antonio supply new equipment to Atascosa County operators, and there's a strong secondary market for oilfield equipment coming out of the Permian and Eagle Ford as companies upgrade their fleets.

Used workover rigs running about $150k to $500k are the most common transaction we see from Pleasanton-area operators. These are units that have been refurbished, re-certified, and are ready to work but cost meaningfully less than comparable new iron. We finance them on standard terms, with the final loan-to-value depending on the equipment's condition and the market for that particular unit type and capacity. Operators with rough credit histories can access B and C credit programs that evaluate revenue and collateral alongside the score.

New equipment from dealers like NOV or service companies carrying Caterpillar-powered frac equipment qualifies for full financing. Newer assets carry predictable maintenance profiles and stronger resale floors, which supports higher advance rates. For operators who want off-balance-sheet treatment, an FMV lease on new equipment can accomplish that while keeping payments lower than a full purchase structure.

If you already own a rig with equity, a Equipment Sale-Leaseback converts that equity into operating capital without the equipment leaving service. The decision between new iron, used equipment, and monetizing what you own usually comes down to timing and what the current cash position allows. We can fund any of those paths.
