HOUSTON, November 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Flotek Industries, Inc. (NYSE: FTK - News) (“Flotek” or the “Company”) today announced the reorganization of its executive officer structure as the company works to realign its operating structure to better reflect job function and focus on industry-leading responsiveness to its customers.

“The reorganization of our executive team is the first in a series of steps Flotek plans to take to better reflect the role of our key people in meeting the needs of our customers,” said John Chisholm, Flotek’s interim President. “We are excited to be re-dedicating our focus on customer satisfaction through high quality, innovative oilfield products and unparalleled responsiveness. While the recent downturn has impacted our business, we are eagerly anticipating an improvement in the marketplace and are preparing to meet the growing needs of our customer base.”

The reorganization creates the Office of the President which will be held by John Chisholm, currently serving as Interim President and Director of the company. Three executive level officers will directly report to Mr. Chisholm:

Mr. Jesse “Jempy” Neyman was appointed to serve as Executive Vice President, Finance and Strategic Planning, of the Company. In connection with such appointment, Mr. Neyman will no longer serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Mr. Steve Reeves was appointed to serve as Executive Vice President, Business Development and Special Projects, of the Company. In connection with such appointment, Mr. Reeves will no longer serve as Chief Operating Officer of the Company


Mr. Scott Stanton was appointed to serve as Executive Vice President, Accounting and Reporting, of the Company. Mr. Stanton, who served as the Chief Accounting Officer of the Company since May 6, 2009, will now act as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer for SEC reporting purposes.

“In addition, we believe these changes to the company’s management organization will provide for a better reporting and control environment as we continue to work to create a more transparent organization for all our stakeholders,” added Chisholm.

Board of Directors Resignation

In addition, effective as of October 29, 2009, Mr. James R. Massey resigned from his position as a member of the Flotek Board of Directors.
