CORPORATE PROFILE

Flotek Industries, Inc. is a diversified global supplier of drilling- and production-related
products and services to the energy and mining industries. We serve major and independent
companies through three segments:

Chemicals and Logistics
We offer a full spectrum of oilfield specialty chemicals used for drilling, cementing, stimulation
and production.

Our specialty chemical division provides chemical technology solutions to maximize recovery

from both new and mature fields. Our development of specialty chemicals with enhanced
performance characteristics to withstand a wide range of downhole pressures, temperatures and
other well-specific conditions is key to the success of this business segment. We utilize a technical
services laboratory and a research and development laboratory, to focus on design, development
and testing of new chemical formulations and enhancement of existing products, often in
cooperation with our customers.

Our logistics division designs, project manages and operates automated bulk material

handling and loading facilities for oilfield service companies. These bulk facilities handle products,
including sand and other materials for well fracturing operations, dry cement and additives for
oil and gas well cementing, and supplies and materials used in oilfield operations which we
blend to specifications.

Drilling Products
We are a leading provider of downhole drilling tools used in the oilfield, mining, water well and
industrial drilling sectors.

We manufacture, sell, rent and inspect specialized equipment for use in drilling, completion,

production and workover activities throughout the United States and in select international
markets. Our rental tools include stabilizers, drill collars, reamers, wipers, jars and mud-motors,
while equipment sold includes centralizers and drill bits. We focus our product marketing
efforts primarily in the Gulf of Mexico, Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountains regions of the
United States, with international sales currently conducted through third party agents.

Artificial Lift
We provide pumping system components including electric submersible pumps or ESPs, gas
separators, production valves and services.

Our products address the needs of coal bed methane and traditional oil and gas production to
efficiently move gas, oil and other fluids from the producing horizon to the surface. Our patented
Petrovalve product optimizes pumping efficiency in horizontal completions, heavy oil and wells
with high gas to liquids ratio. Furthermore, our patented gas separation technology is particularly
applicable for coal bed methane production as it efficiently separates gas and water downhole,
ensuring solution gas is not lost in water production.

Flotek stock is trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “FTK.”

In early 2005, Flotek Industries acquired Spidle

oilfield, mining and water well indus-

tries. We expect the expansion of the

drilling tool rental business to be a

significant growth driver in this

segment over the next several years.

Acquisitions in our Drilling Products
segment added capacity and increased
our technical prowess. Today, we’re
among the leaders in the domestic rental
tool market, and have the ability to
expand our downhole drilling motor
business rapidly.

We moved our Drilling Products
segment toward a more technologically
advanced posture in 2007 when we
acquired CAVO Drilling Motors.
CAVO offers a complete line of mud
motors and other downhole equipment
used in straight-hole, directional and
workover drilling applications. The
addition of CAVO significantly
expanded our downhole mud motor
rental fleet, which should allow us to
continue to grow this business more
rapidly and effectively. The acquisition
was completed in two phases, with 50
percent partnership interests secured
in January and November.

Starting in February of 2006, Flotek acquired Total Well Solutions
and LifTech. These acquisitions complimented our existing
patented artificial lift product, the Petrovalve, and will provide
our customers a full spectrum of proprietary mechanical coal
bed methane production enhancement solutions.

Capturing market demand for

enhanced reserves and production

Artificial Lift revenue was $15 million
for the year ended December 31, 2007,
a 12 percent increase compared to $13
million for the same period in 2006.
The increase in overall sales is due to
the acquisition of two coal bed methane
service companies in the second quarter
of 2006 offset by an overall decline in
coal bed methane activity in the
Powder River Basin during 2007 as a
result of lower wellhead gas prices in
the Rocky Mountains, pipeline capacity
constraints and a reduction in sales to a
significant customer.

This segment manufactures and
markets patented products that offer
significant efficiency and productivity
improvements to customers. For
example, unlike ball and seat technol-
ogy suited only to standard vertical
drilling applications, Flotek’s Petrovalve
can also be used to improve pumping
efficiency in horizontal directional
drilling, an enhanced oil and gas
recovery method for which there is
continually growing demand. Our gas
separator separates gas from water at
the source, capturing a larger percent-
age of gas than any other technology.

In the middle of 2007,
Flotek completed the
aquisition of Sooner
Energy Services. This
acquisition provided
the platform and
momentum for the
broadening of our
Specialty Chemical
division’s field
capability to sell and
service production
enhancement products
and chemicals.

In early 2007, Flotek
acquired Triumph
Drilling Tools. This
acquisition provided
key regional market
share strength and
expanded the geo-
graphic reach of
Flotek’s Drilling
Products segment.

Later in 2007, Flotek
completed the acquisition
of CAVO Drilling Motors.
CAVO provides a complete
line of high performance
mud motors, which further
strengthened Flotek’s
Drilling Products segment.

and enter new markets outside of tradi-

tional oil and gas production.

In order to expand on the Petrovalve

product, in 2007 we entered the

downhole rod pump business. This

enables us to sell the complete assembly,

not just the valve. Going forward, we’ll

continue to grow both our product line

and geographic footprint.

Because global demand for energy

is soaring we view the opportunity for

our products overseas as bullish. As

such, we plan to begin aggressively

moving our growth internationally in

2008. International sales currently

represent about five percent of our

business; we see that figure increasing

handsomely over the next five years.

Our initial targets are the Middle East,

North Sea, Europe, Africa and Russia.

We anticipate significant organic growth.

In addition, we remain alert for acquisi-

As I mentioned at the start, Flotek

depends upon our people for our

strength. Our mission is to provide
our customers with the best value to

enhance their performance, and that

is not possible through technology or

products alone. It takes the dedication

of individuals who perform with dignity,

integrity and character. Character of

our organization and our people matters

greatly to us, and our values will never

be compromised.

It is my privilege to serve as your

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

My thanks go to all who contribute to

our success. I look forward, with you,

to the future of our Company.
