SINCE 1982

 

In Arabic, the word “Safar” means “to travel” — a fitting reflection of our journey alongside the energy industry. Wherever our customers operate, Safar is there, providing the critical equipment and dependable support needed to keep their drilling operations moving forward.

 

A Legacy of Excellence Since 1982 

Founded in 1982 in Abu Dhabi, Safar Oilfield Supplies was established to meet the growing demand for reliable drilling rig equipment across the rapidly developing energy markets of the Middle East. From the beginning, Safar’s mission has been clear: to become the trusted source for critical rig components and upstream solutions, built on a foundation of technical expertise, operational reliability, and strong supplier relationships.

 

Over the past four decades, Safar has evolved into a leading drilling rig supply company, known for exceptional stock availability, responsive customer service, and in-depth product knowledge. Our ability to deliver essential rig equipment quickly and reliably — combined with a deep understanding of drilling operations — has consistently set us apart in the upstream oil and gas supply chain.

Strategic Growth and Global Reach

Today, Safar Oilfield Supplies is headquartered in Dubai, having relocated in 2016 to better serve the growing international needs of the energy sector across the region. With additional operational hubs in Abu Dhabi, Kazakhstan, and Saudi Arabia, we are strategically positioned to support land and offshore drilling operations throughout the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia.

Our centralized stocking facility in the Jebel Ali Free Zone serves as the core logistics hub for the company, enabling us to maintain high inventory levels and deliver critical rig equipment — including mud gate valves, mud butterfly valves, dump valves, suction valves, knife gate valves, and reset relief valves, as well as a full range of rig components and safety support products — with speed, precision, and reliability.

 

Through strong partnerships with world-class manufacturers, Safar ensures that our clients maintain safe, efficient, and profitable drilling operations, even in the most demanding environments.

Leadership and Culture

At Safar Oilfield Supplies, leadership is not defined by a single person — it is a shared responsibility carried by our entire team. We believe that success comes from collaboration, adaptability, and the commitment of individuals working together without rigid boundaries. Every team member is empowered to contribute, support one another, and take initiative to move the company forward.

 

Our culture is built on mutual respect: respect for our employees, our customers, and the diverse perspectives that strengthen our business. We take pride in maintaining a multinational team where talent is recognized, nurtured, and given the opportunity to grow.

 

Adaptability is central to how we operate. In an ever-changing industry, we move quickly, respond decisively, and encourage open communication across all levels of the organization. This collective leadership approach has earned us one of the highest employee retention rates in the industry, with many of our team members building long-term careers at Safar.

 

While we cultivate a collaborative and supportive environment, we also maintain high expectations. We hold ourselves — and our partners — to the highest standards of professionalism, performance, and service, ensuring that every project reflects the values and integrity that Safar was built on.
