Surplus Oilfield Equipment Management Across Western Canada
Operators across Alberta and Western Canada rely on RARE to turn surplus oilfield equipment into recovered value, without tying up internal staff or yard space for months at a time. Whether the equipment is idle at an active site, sitting in a boneyard, or part of a decommissioned project, our team inspects, values, and moves it through the arrangement that makes the most sense for your timeline.
Because every asset and every site is different, we do not force a single process onto every client. A single idle compressor package might be best suited to an outright purchase, while a full boneyard of mixed wellsite equipment often benefits from a value added profit split consignment that funds reconditioning ahead of sale. In every case, our goal is the same: recover the most value from your surplus equipment while keeping the process simple on your end.
Why Operators Choose RARE
Two offices serving Calgary and Redcliff, with field visits across Western Canada.
Five distinct paths to recover value from every asset, whatever condition it arrives in.
One team handling everything from the first inspection through final site cleanup.
Common Questions About Surplus Equipment Management
What types of surplus equipment does RARE manage? +
RARE manages a wide range of surplus oilfield equipment, including idle inventory, underutilized assets, suspended or acquired wellsite equipment, and material recovered from boneyards and contractor yards. If you are unsure whether an asset qualifies, contact our team for a quick assessment.
How does RARE determine the value of surplus equipment? +
Our field team performs an on-site inspection and valuation, taking into account the equipment condition, current market demand, and the cost of any reconditioning that would increase its resale value. This assessment shapes which agreement option we recommend.
What is the difference between consignment and outright purchase? +
An outright purchase provides immediate payment and transfers ownership to RARE right away. Consignment keeps ownership with you while our team markets and sells the equipment, either for a transparent commission or, under a value added profit split, after reconditioning has increased its value.
Does RARE handle site cleanup and equipment removal? +
Yes. Once equipment has been sold, relocated, or recycled, our team can manage full site cleanup so the location is left clear and ready for its next use.
What areas does RARE service? +
RARE serves operators across Western Canada from our Calgary and Redcliff offices, with field services available on site wherever your surplus equipment is located.
