HOUSTON, Jan. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Flotek Industries, Inc. ("Flotek" or the "Company') (NYSE: FTK - News) today announced the closing of its purchase of Eclipse IOR Services, LLC ("EOGA") and plans to expand its Enhanced Oil Recovery ("EOR") platform.

Total consideration for the purchase was $7,000,000, including $5.25 million in cash and 94,354 shares of Flotek Common Stock. The transaction is effective January 1, 2014. While final year-end financials are pending, the Company estimates EOGA's 2013 Net Income to be approximately $1.6 million.

"We are pleased to complete the acquisition of EOGA and delighted to welcome Jay Portwood, Ron Scott and the EOGA team to the Flotek family," said John Chisholm, Flotek's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "EOGA's expertise in Enhanced Oil Recovery processes and the use of polymers to improve performance of EOR projects is an important addition to Flotek's growing inventory of EOR services. Not only does EOGA add leading edge products and services to our EOR offerings, the addition of Jay, Ron and the EOGA team should allow Flotek to leverage their expertise to grow market share for our other EOR chemistry applications. With demand for EOR services expected to accelerate, we will continue to be opportunistic in growing our breadth of EOR services."

"Ron and I, along with the entire EOGA team, are excited to join Flotek and work side-by-side to create a leading, world-class EOR services company," said J.T. "Jay" Portwood, President of EOGA. "We have worked closely with Flotek and its chemistry research group for several years and believe the opportunities to offer value-added technologies to our existing EOR customers are significantly enhanced as we join forces. Flotek's chemistry expertise combined with our design and implementation services create an immediate leader in complex EOR projects, especially as it relates to water control and reservoir conformance. We look forward to being a part of the Flotek team for many years to come."

Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Portwood will serve as President of EOGA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Flotek, and Mr. Scott will serve as Vice President of Operations. The Company will maintain its headquarters in Dallas with field offices in Oklahoma and Kansas.

Enhanced Oil Recovery Business Outlook

EOGA's domestic operations span from coast-to-coast with highlights of current and prospective projects including:


    --  In the Permian Basin, EOGA has multiple gel polymer conformance projects
        progressing for C0(2 )projects with multiple operators as well as
        opportunities to expand the use of gel polymer for conformance control
        in mature water floods.
    --  In the Mid-Continent, EOGA is currently engaged in a number of polymer
        conformance projects in Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska water floods. In
        addition, gel polymers are being used in water shut-off treatments in
        Kansas. A new project is also underway to expand the use of gel polymer
        to shut-off water in horizontal wells in Northern Oklahoma. In addition,
        EOGA continues a research joint venture with the University of Kansas
        Tertiary Oil Recovery Project into various aspects of polymer and
        surfactant use in Enhanced Oil Recovery.
    --  In the Rockies, a number of gel polymer and C0(2 )foam projects are
        underway and proposed in Wyoming for water conformance. In addition,
        projects in North Dakota and Montana are in planning stages that involve
        the use of gel polymer in high temperature, deep waterdrive and
        waterflood applications.
    --  In California, the Company has plans to expand the use of polymers for
        water control and shut-off in various onshore and offshore applications
        for multiple operators.

Internationally, EOGA has completed multiple projects in Canada to correct and prevent conformance problems in numerous polymer and ASP floods in high permeability, shallow heavy oil sandstone reservoirs developed with parallel alternating horizontal injectors and producers. Additional projects are likely in Canada in the coming months.

The Company is also considering opportunities in South America and the Middle East, currently partnering with Flotek's chemistry group on existing projects and additional prospects.

"Jay and his team have become recognized as one of the leading EOR design and injection firms in North America and, more recently, in international markets," added Chisholm. "Combined with our chemical technology expertise and additional resources, we believe the combined enterprise has the potential to become a global leader in EOR technology and consulting."

The Company does not anticipate any personnel changes as a result of the acquisition. Beginning on the effective date, January 1, 2014, EOGA's results will be consolidated into Flotek's financial statements. Additional financial information will be provided on the Company's year-end conference call in February.
