The Board of Directors

Flotek Industries, Inc.

2930 West Sam Houston Pkwy North

Suite 300

Houston, TX 77043

Attention: Rosalie Melia, Secretary

Dear Sirs:

I have been a Board member and a substantial shareholder of Flotek for more than ten years and currently serve as the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board. Over the years, I have had many policy disputes with Flotek’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jerry Dumas, involving a variety of issues. Based on a number of recent events, I came to the conclusion that Mr. Dumas should be replaced as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and as a Director of Flotek. The Board has not supported me in this and I have concluded that I cannot gain the support of the Board as it is presently constituted or as it is likely to be constituted in the near future.

For these reasons, I hereby resign from the Board of Directors of Flotek.

 

/s/    William R. Ziegler
William R. Ziegler
