| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The financial statements, including selected notes, have been prepared in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting and do not include all |
| Consolidation | All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not have investments in any unconsolidated subsidiaries. |
| Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. |
| Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The Company’s restricted cash is $0.1 million and $0.1 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. |
| Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable and accounts receivable, related party, arise from product sales and services and are stated at estimated net realizable value. This value incorporates an allowance for credit losses to reflect any loss anticipated on accounts receivable balances. The Company applies the current expected credit loss (CECL) model, which requires immediate recognition of expected credit losses over the contractual life of receivables and records the appropriate allowance for credit losses as a charge to operating expenses. The allowance for credit losses is based on a combination of the individual customer circumstances, credit conditions, and historical write-offs and collections. The Company writes off specific accounts receivable when they are determined to be uncollectible. The recovery of accounts receivable previously written off is recorded as a reduction to the allowance for credit losses charged to operating expense. The majority of the Company’s customers are engaged in the energy industry. The cyclical nature of the energy industry may affect customers’ operating performance and cash flows, which directly impact the Company’s ability to collect on outstanding obligations. Additionally, certain customers are located in international areas that are inherently subject to risks of economic, political, and civil instability, which can impact the collectability of receivables. |
| Contract Assets | Contract Assets The Company’s contract assets represent consideration issued in the form of convertible notes (Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable as discussed in Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”) and other incremental costs related to obtaining the ProFrac Agreement. The contract assets are amortized over the term of the ProFrac Agreement (10 years) based on forecasted revenues as goods are transferred to ProFrac Services, LLC, and the amortization is presented as a reduction of the transaction price included in related party revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. |
| Inventories | Inventories Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost determined by using the weighted-average cost method, or net realizable value. Finished goods inventories include raw materials, direct labor and production overhead. The Company periodically reviews inventories on hand and current market conditions to determine if the cost of raw materials and finished goods inventories exceed current market prices and impairs the cost basis of the inventory accordingly. Obsolete inventory or inventory in excess of management’s estimated usage requirement is written down to its net realizable value if those amounts are determined to be less than cost. Write-downs or write-offs of inventory are charged to cost of sales. |
| Property and Equipment | Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of ordinary maintenance and repair is charged to operating expense, while replacement of critical components and major improvements are capitalized. Depreciation or amortization of property and equipment, including operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”), is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life as follows: Buildings and leasehold improvements 2-30 years Machinery and equipment 7-10 years Furniture and fixtures 3 years Land improvements 20 years Transportation equipment 2-5 years Computer equipment and software 3-7 years |
| Leases | Leases The Company leases certain facilities, land, vehicles, and equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is classified as a lease at inception of the arrangement. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the related lease. Finance leases are under the current and non-current liabilities and the underlying assets are included in property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, on a quarterly basis, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, together with the lease term information available at commencement date of the lease, in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease liabilities include related options to extend or terminate lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet; and the lease expense on short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. |
| Liability Classified Convertible Notes Payable and Contingent Convertible Notes Payable | Convertible Notes Payable and Liability Classified Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable The Company accounts for the Convertible Notes Payable at amortized cost pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 470, Debt. The Company accounts for the Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable issued as consideration related to a related party contract (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”), as liability classified convertible instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, liability classified convertible instruments are measured at fair value at the grant date and at each reporting date (see Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements”) with the change in fair value included in the consolidated statements of operations. |
| Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The Company categorizes financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, based on the nature of the inputs used to determine fair value. Inputs refer broadly to assumptions that market participants would use to value an asset or liability Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company categorizes financial assets and liabilities into the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and bases categorization within the hierarchy on the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and • Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity or that are based on the reporting entity’s assumptions about the inputs. |
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations under the terms of the contract with a customer, and control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer or services are performed, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue based on a five-step model when all of the following criteria have been met: (i) a contract with a customer exists, (ii) performance obligations have been identified, (iii) the price to the customer has been determined, (iv) the price to the customer has been allocated to the performance obligations, and (v) performance obligations are satisfied. Products and services are sold with fixed or determinable prices. Certain sales include discounts offered to customers for prompt payment and right of return provisions, which are considered when recognizing revenue and deferred accordingly. The Company does not act as an agent in any of its revenue arrangements. In recognizing revenue for products and services, the Company determines the transaction price of contracts with customers, which may consist of fixed and variable consideration. Determining the transaction price may require judgment by management, which includes identifying performance obligations, estimating variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and determining whether promised goods or services can be distinguished in the context of the contract. The majority of the CT segment revenue is chemical products that are sold at a point in time based on when control transfers to the customer determined by agreed upon delivery terms. Contracts with customers for the sale of products generally state the terms of the sale, including the quantity and price of each product purchased. Additionally, the CT segment offers various services associated to products sold which includes field services, installation, maintenance, and other functions. These services are recognized upon completion of commissioning and installation due to the short-term nature of the performance obligation when the Company has a right to invoice the customer. The DA segment recognizes revenue for sales of equipment at the time of sale based on when control transfers to the customer based on agreed upon delivery terms. Additionally, the Company offers various services associated with products sold which includes field services, installation, maintenance, and other functions. Services are recognized upon completion of commissioning and installation due to the short-term nature of the performance obligation. There may be additional performance obligations related to providing ongoing or reoccurring maintenance. Revenue for these types of arrangements is recognized ratably over time throughout the contract period. Additionally, the Company may provide subscription-type arrangements with customers in which monthly reoccurring revenue is recognized ratably over time in accordance with agreed upon terms and conditions. Customers may be invoiced for such maintenance and subscription-type arrangements, and revenue not yet recognizable is reported under accrued liabilities and deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Subscription-type arrangements were not a material revenue stream in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. Payment terms for both the CT and DA segments are customarily 30-60 days for domestic and 90-120 days f or international from invoice receipt. Under revenue contracts for both products and services, customers are invoiced once the performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Contract assets associated with incomplete performance obligations are not material. The Company applies several practical expedients including: • Sales commissions are expensed as selling, general and administrative expenses when incurred because the amortization period is generally one year or less. • The Company’s payment terms are short-term in nature with settlements of one year or less. As a result, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. • In most service contracts, the Company has the right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance obligations completed to date and as such the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice. • The Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer. Such taxes are included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet until remitted to the governmental agency. |
| Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation The Company’s functional currency is primarily the U.S. dollar. The Company operates principally in the United States and substantially all assets and liabilities of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries that are not U.S. dollar functional currency are prepared using the currency of the primary economic environment of the foreign subsidiaries as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of those foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect as of the end of identified reporting periods. Revenue and expense transactions are translated using the average monthly exchange rate for the reporting period. Resultant translation adjustments are recognized as other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. |
| Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) encompasses all changes in stockholders’ equity, except those arising from investments and distributions to stockholders. The Company’s comprehensive income loss includes consolidated net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments. |
| Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred. |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The establishment of a valuation allowance requires significant judgment and is impacted by various estimates. Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. |
| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense, related to stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, is recognized based on their grant-date fair values. The Company recognizes compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Estimated forfeitures are based on historical experience. |
| Stock Warrants | Stock Warrants The Company evaluated the Pre-Funded Warrants issued in June 2022 (the “June 2022 Warrants”) and the Pre-Funded Warrants issued in February 2023 (the “February 2023 Warrants”) (see Note 13, “Stockholders’ Equity) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and determined that the June 2022 Warrants and the February 2023 Warrants meet the criteria to be classified within stockholders’ equity and recorded the proceeds received for the June 2022 Warrants and the February 2023 Warrants within additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the FASB. We evaluate the applicability and impact of all authoritative guidance issued by the FASB. Guidance not listed below was assessed and determined to be either not applicable, clarifications of items listed below, immaterial or already adopted by the Company. New Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted as of January 1, 2023 The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “ Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments .” This standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects estimates of expected credit losses over their contractual life that are recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company adopted this standard prospectively as of January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and there was no cumulative effect on retained earnings. |
| Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, which includes the February 2023 Warrants (See Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”, and Note 13, “Stockholders’ Equity”). Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the adjusted net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding combined with dilutive common share equivalents outstanding, if the effect is dilutive. Potentially dilutive common share equivalents consist of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible notes payable, exercise of stock warrants and vesting and settlement of stock awards. The dilutive effect of non-vested stock issued under share‑based compensation plans, shares issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), employee stock options outstanding, and the Pre-Funded stock warrants are computed using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes is computed using the if‑converted method in accordance with ASU 2020-06, which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2022 (see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”). |
| Segment Information | Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The operations of the Company are categorized into the following reportable segments: Chemistry Technologies. The CT segment includes green specialty chemistries, logistics and technology services, which enable its customers to pursue improved efficiencies and performance throughout the life cycle of their wells, helping customers improve their ESG and operational goals. Customers of the CT segment include major integrated oil and gas companies, oilfield services companies, independent oil and gas companies, national and state-owned oil companies, and international supply chain management companies . Data Analytics. The DA segment includes the design, development, production, sale and support of equipment and services that create and provide valuable information on the composition and properties of energy customers’ hydrocarbon fluids. The company markets products and services that support in-line data analysis of hydrocarbon components and properties. Customers of the DA segment span across the entire oil and gas market, from upstream production to midstream facilities to refineries and distribution networks Performance is based upon a variety of criteria. The primary financial measure is segment operating income (loss). Various functions, including certain sales and marketing activities and general and administrative activities, are provided centrally by the corporate office. Costs associated with corporate office functions, other corporate income and expense items, and income taxes are not allocated to the reportable segment. |
