QuEST Global Opens New Engineering Center in Houston, Texas to

Support Major Oil Field Service Companies

New Center Will Hire Local Engineering Talent to Further Strengthen its

Oil and Gas Practice

Houston, Texas – June 26, 2014 – QuEST Global, a leading global engineering

servicesprovider , announced today the opening of a new engineering

center in Houston, Texas. The center will provide engineering services and

solutions for the upstream oil industry, equipment manufacturers and

other oil and gas companies. The company has over 100 employees in the

Houston area and plans to hire many more to support increasing demands for

engineering services in the oil and gas sector.

Earlier this year, QuEST Global acquired Beeken TechQuest and its Bangalore

based arm, UFT Beeken Engineering Services, to create a highly capable team to

support the oil and gas upstream technology area. The Houston location will be

the hub of QuEST’s global oil and gas business as it expands its footprint

worldwide.

“The mission of our new Houston center is to help oil field service companies

offload their non-core engineering activities to us, so they can focus on new

product development and innovation,” said Ajit Prabhu, chairman and CEO of

QuEST Global. “The new office in Houston also fulfills QuEST’s commitment to

deliver world class service to its Houston-based customers, as having a local

team will drive collaboration as well as minimize cultural barriers for all. The

center will provide 300 to 400 new career opportunities in the Houston area over

the next few years and contribute to the city’s overall economic growth.”

The oil and gas industry is facing many challenges today, including escalating

labor and capital costs, increasing complexity of drilling and completions,

increasing lead times and more stringent governmental regulations and an

engineering talent demographic disadvantage in the region. To overcome these

challenges and remain competitive, oil field service companies and equipment

manufacturers need to reduce well construction and production costs through

innovation and business process changes. These changes include engaging high

capability engineering providers like QuEST Global.

“QuEST Global’s new engineering center in Houston will enable our customers to

optimize their capacity to achieve greater business and process efficiencies while

generating significant cost-savings and reducing cycle time,” said Steve Gerber,

QuEST Global’s senior vice president of strategic accounts. Gerber leads QuEST’s

oil and gas vertical, and recently relocated to Houston to increase QuEST’s focus

on this industry. “The demand for engineering services and solutions from the oil

field industry will continue to grow rapidly as more companies discover the

scalable benefits from outsourcing.”

To celebrate QuEST Global’s expansion to Houston, the company will host an

office opening event at 5:30 p.m. CT on June 26, 2014. QuEST Global’s Houston

engineering center is located at 515 North Sam Houston Parkway East, Suite 500,

Houston Texas. It is QuEST’s ninth office in the United States; QuEST also has

centers in East Hartford, Conn., Windsor, Conn., Dearborn, MI., West Lafayette,

IN., Rockford, Ill., Charlotte, N.C., Cincinnati, Ohio, Phoenix, Ariz. and Greenville,

S.C.
