Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related party transaction	Related Party Transaction In January 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) notified the Company that it was examining the Company’s federal tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2014. As a result of this examination, the IRS informed the Company on May 1, 2019 that certain employment taxes related to the CEO’s compensation were not properly withheld in 2014 and proposed an adjustment. As the Company has a statutory obligation to collect and withhold employment taxes, management reviewed the CEO’s compensation for tax year 2014, as well as tax years 2015 through 2018, in order to estimate the Company’s potential outstanding employment tax liability in connection with this matter. Upon completion of this review, management believes the Company’s total potential exposure in this matter for 2014 through 2018 is approximately $2.4 million. The CEO’s affiliated companies through which he provided his services have agreed to indemnify the Company for such taxes, and the CEO has executed a personal guaranty in favor of Flotek, supporting this indemnification. As such, the Company recorded an accrued liability for the potential exposure to the IRS in the amount of $2.4 million, with a corresponding receivable, recorded in other current assets, from the CEO’s affiliated companies for the same amount relating to such indemnification obligation.
