Flotek Industries Announces Expansion of Chemical Processing Facilities,
Upcoming Presentation at Independent Petroleum Association of America Florida
Oil & Gas Investment Symposium
HOUSTON, January 31, 2012Flotek Industries, Inc. (NYSE: FTK) announced today that it has completed an initial expansion of its Marlow, Oklahoma chemical production facility.
As we continue to expand into liquids-rich unconventional resource plays, the recent expansions of our Marlow facility are key to meeting client demand, exceeding clients delivery and service expectations and cost-effectively planning for future growth, said John Chisholm, Chairman and President of Flotek Industries. We are pleased with this step in our growth process and look forward to continuing to anticipate the needs of our clients as we gain traction in new basins in both domestic and international markets.
The growth plan provides for more rapid production and mixing capabilities as well as additional capacity. The expansion more than doubles Floteks total blending tank capacity. In addition, the improvements increase total bulk storage by over 150% to 398,500 gallons from 158,500 gallons. The completed addition of dry material silos also provide for more efficiency in preparing dry compounds for delivery. In the planning process, Flotek also purchased property adjacent to the current facility which provides necessary land to expand its liquid bulk tank storage facilities.
In addition to increasing capacity, the expansion also enhances efficiency and safety at the facility, allowing Flotek to better anticipate and respond to client needs with industry-leading safety standards.
Growing demand for Floteks patented Complex Nanofluids requires us to become even more efficient in our production processes, added Chisholm. The planning and execution of this expansion allow us not only to more efficiently and effectively meet existing client needs but to meet future growth which our clients indicate will be needed as liquids plays expand in the coming months. In addition, the purchase of additional real estate adjacent to our existing facility provides for the development of new liquids storage capacity which will further enhance our future growth.
A pictorial description of the expansion can be found on Floteks homepage, www.flotekind.com.
