About Us

Our Story

After 15 years spent in the oilfield, working day and night, often miles away from home and loved ones, Gabriel Lucena realized that in the oilfield industry, we share the same experiences and hardships. So, why is there no app that is truly built for us?

This question led Gabriel to make a bold decision: the origin of the Oil Hand App. A social platform built specifically for oilfield workers, by someone who has hands-on experience of all the struggles. It’s a space for oilfield hands to come together, share experiences, support one another, and find everything they need, all in one place.

Today, Oil Hand is a digital hub where the oilfield community can share, search, laugh, and stay connected with the people and resources of their own specific industry.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide comfort, ease and a connected space for the people who work in the oilfield. Oil Hand is built by oilfield workers for oilfield workers, and everything we do is designed with you in mind.

Our Vision & Future Plans

We’re just getting started.

What began as a simple app to connect workers and make their lives a bit easier has grown into a full-fledged platform with endless possibilities. Our vision is to continually evolve Oil Hand into the go-to digital community for oilfield workers worldwide, offering more features, better tools, and stronger connections.

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s to come:

  • AR Chat with Work ARound
  • Job Tools & Networking Expansion
  • A Global Digital Community

Our Core Values

Customer First

We don’t build apps for the sake of building. We listen, we learn, and we create based on the real-world needs of oilfield workers. Our commitment is to provide solutions that make life easier and better for our users.

Innovation

The oilfield is a tough place to work. It’s also a place where ingenuity and resourcefulness are second nature. That’s why we’re constantly innovating, building bold ideas that solve real problems.

Integrity

We’re here to speak the truth and deliver real value. Integrity is the center of everything we do. We don’t promise what we don’t provide, so basically it’s all about the truth in the service.

Teamwork

In the oilfield, teamwork is everything. We believe that when oilfield hands come together, they’re unstoppable. That’s why we’re committed to building a community where workers can share, support, and learn from one another.

Fun

Oilfield life can be gruelling, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. We believe that humour and positivity are essential, especially when you’re working in tough conditions. We provide a space where you can laugh, share memes, and recharge for the next day.
