Fuel Your Growth: Finance Playbook for Oilfield Suppliers

For oilfield services companies, growth is rarely a straight line. New contracts bring new opportunities, but they also bring new costs. Payroll, materials, and subcontractor expenses pile up fast, often long before a single customer payment clears. When net terms stretch close to two months, even a well-run business can find itself cash-strapped at exactly the wrong moment. 

In this session, Brandon Chandler, Director of Product at Enverus, sits down with Damien Okun, CEO and President of Nuko Enterprises, to talk through what rapid growth actually looks like on the ground and how Damien built a financing approach that could keep up with it. At Nuko, weekly payroll reached up to $160,000 while customers routinely took weeks to pay. Instead of letting those gaps slow him down, Damien found a smarter way to bridge them. 

The conversation is brought to you in partnership with FundThrough, which helps oil and gas suppliers access working capital by getting their invoices paid early so cash flow stops being the thing that holds growth back. 

What you’ll learn: 

• How to access working capital without tying your growth to customer payment timelines 
• What it takes to confidently take on larger projects when cash is stretched 
• How to maintain financial stability during periods of rapid scaling 
• What a flexible, right-sized financing approach looks like in practice 
• What Damien would do differently and the lessons he learned along the way
