PetroQuest was founded in 1985 as a Gulf Coast oil and gas company. From 1985 to 2002 PetroQuest grew its reserves to 69 Bcfe located principally onshore in Louisiana and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.

Using the cash flow generated from its Gulf Coast Basin assets, PetroQuest has expanded its asset portfolio to include properties in the Woodford and Fayetteville Shale plays in the Arkoma Basin and it has acquired a significant position in the East Texas Basin where it is pursuing both oil and gas potential.The strategy has yielded results as PetroQuest has more than doubled reserves since 2002 to 157 Bcfe while production has increased an average of more than 18% per year to 31 Bcfe in 2007. PetroQuest Energy, Inc. is now focused on expanding its onshore operations with approximately 75% of its $230 million 2008 capital expenditure budget allocated to East Texas and the Arkoma Basin.

Hydrodec was born out of an eight year industrial research and development program implemented by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) and the Australian power industry. CSIRO is Australia's government backed and leading industrial technology research and development organisation. Initial research was directed at the development of advanced refining technology for use with used electrical insulating oils. The research and development program was so successful that it produced a new refining process with application across the petrochemical and oil refining industries. The technology was patented and in 2001, was rolled into a commercial licence held by Hydrodec Development Corporation (HDC). Hydrodec Development Corporation was formed with global rights to commercialise the technology and know how behind the technology. The company was initially established using venture capital funding from Virotec International, an Australian environmental technology company. A first demonstration refining facility commenced construction in 2002. Successful start up of the demonstration facility accelerated the growth of Hydrodec ultimately resulting in the formation of Hydrodec Group plc, a company listed on the AIM in the London Stock Exchange in late 2004.
