How vendors can maximise returns by reusing, repurposing and recycling.

Over the last decade, the oil and gas industry has emerged as a key player in the Australian remarketing space and is only expected to keep booming. Australia’s thriving circular economy surged during COVID-19 and has gone from strength to strength since 2020, as businesses realise the full value and potential of their equipment alongside the ethical benefits of participating in the used marketplace.

A circular economy refers to a system of reusing, repurposing and recycling materials to minimise new production and to create sustainable practices. Buying and selling used oil and gas assets is the perfect way for Australian organisations to maximise the returns on their purchases while  making ethical business decisions. That’s where Pickles Oil & Gas comes in to help with sustainable solutions that benefit our clients and contribute to environmental conservation.

HOW DOES PICKLES HELP OIL AND GAS OPERATORS NAVIGATE THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY?
Pickles Oil & Gas is a division of Pickles that specialises in guiding vendors through the lifecycle of their assets. Dealing primarily with surplus and decommissioned equipment, we help our partners access sustainable solutions through reusing, repurposing and recycling assets. Pickles unlocks a wealth of benefits for our partners, here is how! Remarketing solutions

As Australia’s leading marketplace for used assets, Pickles is the place to go for businesses seeking to realise the full potential of their underutilised equipment.

With dozens of locations across Australia and Malaysia and over 800 specialist employees, Pickles has the footprint needed to find the right buyers for every item.

We help businesses get their oil and gas assets in front of the businesses that are eager to buy, from big rigs to smaller, niche items. With an expansive international reach and huge database of industry buyers, Pickles remarketing services are the best choice for oil and gas vendors who are ready to sell and get the most from their surplus assets.

Logistics management For many businesses, making the leap to sell can be a daunting one. For oil and gas businesses, there are many logistical difficulties to consider that may stand in the way of making the choice to sell. That’s why Pickles invests heavily in solutions so that we can do the groundwork and our vendors can focus on selling.

These services include transportation, asset management, valuations, storage facilities and a large range of field services including assessments and inspections. We offer a full and tailored service to our partners, because we believe that selling should be simple.

Environmental reporting
As Australian businesses continue to strive towards low emission goals, Pickles Oil & Gas offers a comprehensive reporting service that breaks down the environmental impact for companies who
participate in a circular economy. These environmental analyses can greatly assist oil and gas companies to understand the gaps in their practices, identify areas of improvement and map a pathway to net zero.

We’re also able to provide benchmarking services that can outline the best next use of your asset by determining the cost and effectiveness of recycling an asset versus regenerating material based on the market cost of the materials. This service acts as a decarbonisation opportunity for businesses and is often a starting point for setting reduction goals and science-based targets for the future. We specialise in helping oil and gas operators navigate the transition to environmentally conscious business practices in the years to come.
