Puerto Rico Power Services Contract: A Game-Changing Win
The centerpiece of Flotek’s presentation was the announcement of a 10-year agreement with the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) to support a 400-megawatt utilities project. The contract, valued at approximately $400 million with expected annual revenue of $40 million, represents Flotek’s largest single contract win to date.
The following slide details the project structure and Flotek’s role:
Under the agreement, Flotek’s PWRtek team will provide fuel consistency and improve asset reliability through proprietary gas conditioning technology. The company will deploy up to 40 megawatts of primary power generation capacity and deliver real-time analytics and engine optimization across the full 400-megawatt project.
The project addresses Puerto Rico’s ongoing energy crisis by supporting natural gas-fired grid enhancement to ensure reliable power for critical services. Flotek is partnering with Power Expectations LLC and local partners to deliver the solution, which leverages liquefied natural gas at the Aguirre site.
Initial equipment deployment is estimated for Q4 2026, with full deployment expected in Q1 2027. Importantly, management noted that this contract is not included in the company’s updated 2026 guidance, suggesting significant upside potential for 2027 and beyond.
Data Analytics: Expanding Contracted Backlog
Flotek’s Data Analytics segment has built substantial revenue visibility through long-term contracts. The company’s contracted revenue backlog now extends through 2036, with the PREPA contract adding significant annual recurring revenue starting in 2027.
The following chart shows the evolution of contracted revenue backlog:
By the first quarter of 2027, Flotek expects to support approximately 5 gigawatts of power through measurement or control. The company is also in discussions regarding a Phase 2 extension of the Montana Power Services contract, which could add approximately $6 million per quarter if secured.
Recent business development highlights include a Smart Skid rental to a major international oil company to optimize gas quality with real-time blending of field gas and compressed natural gas. Additionally, the company’s XSPCT analyzer was named Product of the Year at the 2026 Analyzer Technology Conference.
Technology Validation: PWRtek Case Study
Flotek’s presentation included a detailed case study demonstrating the value proposition of its PWRtek technology for power generation customers. The real-time field gas blending system, covered by a patent issued in August 2025, addresses a critical challenge for power producers using variable, contaminant-heavy field gas.
The following case study illustrates the financial impact:
In the documented example, a large oilfield services power producer struggling with uptime and equipment failures deployed PWRtek’s real-time measurement technology and closed-loop blending system. The platform maintained optimal engine fuel quality during severe gas quality disturbances, achieving zero engine events and more than 92% field gas substitution.
The customer realized $3.1 million to $5.5 million in annual value per 40-megawatt spread through fuel cost elimination, maintenance cycle extension, power and efficiency recovery, and emissions reduction. This translated to a 6x to 10x return on investment for the customer, validating Flotek’s value proposition and supporting the company’s ability to win additional contracts.
XSPCT Digital Valuation Expansion
Flotek’s XSPCT analyzer, which won Product of the Year at the 2026 Analyzer Technology Conference, continues to gain market traction. The company now has 89 digital valuation units deployed or on order for delivery, compared to just 25 active units at the previous year-end.
The following image shows the XSPCT analyzer in operation:
The digital valuation market represents more than 200,000 potential locations in the United States alone, providing substantial growth runway. In November 2025, the XSPCT became the first optical spectrometer to successfully achieve the GPA 2172 standard for custody transfer applications.
The technology delivers real-time product valuations for faster and more accurate custody transfer reporting, addressing a critical need in both gas and crude oil quality measurement. Management highlighted the convergence of data and chemistry as an emerging growth opportunity, with XSPCT analyzers enabling operators to validate chemistry performance in real time.
Chemistry Technologies: Strong Performance Despite Market Headwinds
While Data Analytics captured the spotlight, Flotek’s Chemistry Technologies segment also delivered impressive results. Total chemistry revenue increased 77% year-over-year to $78.9 million, with related party revenue reaching $47.8 million and external chemistry revenue climbing to $31.1 million.
The following chart demonstrates chemistry revenue growth against a contracting market backdrop:
Notably, this growth occurred while the average U.S. frac fleet count declined from 192 in Q2 2025 to 182 in Q2 2026, according to Primary Vision data. Flotek achieved its strongest quarter of chemistry sales since 2017, with domestic revenue up 43% from the year-ago period.
International chemistry expansion proved particularly strong, with Q2 2026 revenue of $10.6 million representing a 172% increase from the prior year. The company has established itself as the primary fluid chemistry supplier supporting unconventional operations in Saudi Arabia’s Jafurah gas field project.
The following slide details Flotek’s international expansion:
The Jafurah project, spanning approximately 17,000 square kilometers with an estimated 200 trillion standard cubic feet of gas, represents a significant long-term opportunity. Flotek has inventory in-transit expected to support strong sales in Q3 2026 and is establishing an extended supply operation to support activity through mid-2027.
Expanding Addressable Market
Flotek’s presentation emphasized the company’s expanding addressable market across the energy value chain. The convergence of data and chemistry solutions enables Flotek to serve customers from upstream exploration and production through midstream processing to downstream refining and export operations.
The following comprehensive market map illustrates Flotek’s positioning:
The company’s solutions now span upstream applications including completion chemistry, digital valuation, and frac power generation; midstream applications such as gas and oil processing, flare monitoring, and transmix pipeline monitoring; and downstream applications including process controls, chemical quality measurements, and carbon capture measurement.
This diversification reduces Flotek’s exposure to oil and gas market cycles while positioning the company to capture growth in adjacent markets such as utilities, data center power, and infrastructure development.
Forward-Looking Statements and Raised Guidance
Based on first-half performance and contract wins, Flotek substantially raised its full-year 2026 guidance. The company now expects revenue of $340 million to $350 million, up from prior guidance of $270 million to $290 million. Adjusted EBITDA guidance increased to $47 million to $51 million from $36 million to $41 million.
The following chart shows Flotek’s multi-year transformation trajectory:
At the midpoint, the new guidance implies 45% revenue growth and 49% adjusted EBITDA growth compared to 2025. Importantly, this guidance excludes any contribution from the recently announced PREPA contract, which is expected to begin generating revenue in Q1 2027.
CFO Bond Clement noted that June was a particularly strong month, with the company recognizing nearly $31 million of chemistry revenue in that month alone. However, management expects domestic external chemistry revenue to normalize in the second half after the exceptionally strong June performance.
International chemistry sales are expected to remain strong in the second half of 2026, while data analytics revenue is projected to grow sequentially, except potentially in the fourth quarter if the Montana Power Services contract extension is not secured.
