Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Operations	NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS Quintana Energy Services Inc. (either individually or together with its subsidiaries, as the context requires, the “Company,” “QES,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on April 13, 2017. Our accounting predecessor, Quintana Energy Services LP (“QES LP” and “Predecessor”), was formed as a Delaware partnership on November 3, 2014. In connection with our initial public offering (the “IPO”) which closed on February 13, 2018, the existing investors in QES LP and QES Holdco LLC contributed all of their direct and indirect equity interests to QES in exchange for shares of common stock in QES, and we became the holding company for the reorganized QES LP and its subsidiaries. We are a growth-oriented provider of diversified oilfield services to leading onshore oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) companies operating in both conventional and unconventional plays in all of the active major basins throughout the United States. The Company operates through four reporting segments, which are Directional Drilling, Pressure Pumping, Pressure Control and Wireline. Initial Public Offering As of December 31, 2017, our Predecessor had 417,441,074 common units outstanding and 227,885,579 warrants to purchase common units outstanding. Immediately prior to the IPO on February 13, 2018, the warrants were net settled for 223,394,762 common units, and immediately thereafter our Predecessor and affiliated entities were reorganized through mergers and related transactions and 20,235,193 shares of our common stock were issued to the holders of equity in our Predecessor at a ratio of 1 share of our common stock for 31.669363 common units of our Predecessor (with elimination of fractional shares) (the “Merger Transactions”). On February 13, 2018, immediately after the Merger Transactions, but prior to our IPO, our Predecessor’s Former Term Loan (as defined below) was extinguished and in partial consideration therefor 3,363,208 shares were issued to our Predecessor’s Former Term Loan lenders based on the price to the public of our IPO (representing 1 share of common stock for each $10.00 in Former Term Loan obligations converted) (together with the “Merger Transactions”, the “Reorganization Transactions”). The gross proceeds of the IPO to the Company, at the public offering price of $10.00 per share, was $92.6 million, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $87.0 million, after deducting $5.6 million of underwriting discounts and commissions associated with the shares sold by the Company, excluding approximately $4.2 million in offering expenses payable by the Company. Taking together the Reorganization Transactions and the issuance of 9,259,259 shares of our common stock to the public in our IPO, as of February 13, 2018, we had 32,857,660 shares outstanding immediately following our IPO. Subsequent to our IPO, we issued 139,921 shares in connection with the vesting of awards under our Predecessor’s 2015 LTIP Plan on February 22, 2018, and 260,529 shares of our common stock were issued on March 8, 2018 in consideration of vesting of awards under our Predecessor’s 2017 LTIP which we assumed. In connection with both awards, certain shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations of the holder of the award, which shares are currently treasury shares totaling 134,552 shares of common stock. Also in connection with the consummation of the IPO, on March 9, 2018, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 372,824 shares of common stock of QES, which resulted in additional net proceeds of approximately $3.5 million (the “Option Exercise”), net of underwriter’s discounts and commission of $0.1 million. Upon the completion of the Reorganizational Transactions, the IPO and the Option Exercise, QES had 33,630,934 shares of common stock outstanding. The net proceeds received from the IPO and a $13.0 million drawdown on the New ABL Facility (described below) were used to fully repay the Company’s revolving credit facility balance of $81.1 million and repay $12.6 million of the Company’s $40.0 million, 10% term loan due 2020 (the “Former Term Loan”), as described in “Note 5-Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations.” The remaining proceeds from the IPO will be used for general corporate purposes.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Mar. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These interim condensed consolidated financial accounts include all QES accounts and all of our subsidiaries where we exercise control. All inter-company transactions and account balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2017, is derived from previously audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair statement have been included. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (“2017 Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 30, 2018. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates from those disclosed in the 2017 Annual Report. The Company adopted certain accounting policies including the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “new revenue standard” or Accounting Standards Codification 606, (“ASC 606”)) on January 1, 2018. These revenue recognition policy updates are applied prospectively in our financial statements from January 1, 2018 forward. Reported financial information for the historical comparable period was not revised and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect during the historical periods as there is not a material impact related to adoption. For additional discussion of this adoption, see Note 11, “Revenues for Contracts with Customers.” Recent Accounting Pronouncements *Adopted in 2018* In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes most existing industry-specific guidance. ASC 606 creates a framework by which an entity allocates the transaction price to separate performance obligations and recognizes revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Under the new standard, entities are required to use judgment and make estimates, including identifying performance obligations in a contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation and determining when an entity satisfies its performance obligations. The standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption, meaning that the standard is applied to all of the periods presented with a cumulative catch-up as of the earliest period presented, or “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative catch-up in the current period. In July and December 2016, the FASB issued various additional authoritative guidance for the new revenue recognition standard. The accounting standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s 2018 first quarter interim condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company adopted ASC 606, effective January 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective method of adoption. See Note 11, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” for more details on the adoption and impacts of implementing ASC 606. In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities constitutes a business. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as it did not have any business combinations transactions. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies what constitutes a modification of a share-based payment award. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows because there has been no modification to our equity-based payment awards. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments providing new guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments including debt extinguishment costs, debt prepayment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and life insurance policies and distributions received from equity method investees in the statement of cash flows. This update is required to be applied using the retrospective transition method to each period presented unless it is impracticable to be applied retrospectively. In such situation, this guidance is to be applied prospectively. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018, which did not impact 2017 results, but resulted in a $1.3 million prepayment premium cost being reported under financing activities relating to the debt extinguishment of the Company’s $40.0 million term loan at the closing of the IPO. *Accounting Standards not yet adopted* In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The guidance is effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. While the exact impact of this standard is not known, the guidance is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, due to the leased assets and corresponding lease liability that will be recognized, as the Company has operating and real property lease arrangements for which it is the lessee.

Long-Term Debt

Former Revolving Credit Facility

The Company had a revolving credit facility (“the Former Revolving Credit Facility”), which had a maximum borrowing facility of $110.0 million that was scheduled to mature on September 19, 2018. All obligations under the credit agreement for the Former Revolving Credit Facility were collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Revolving Credit Facility’s credit agreement contained customary restrictive covenants that required the Company not to exceed or fall below two key ratios, a maximum loan to value ratio of 70% and a minimum liquidity of $7.5 million. In connection with the closing of the IPO on February 13, 2018, we fully repaid and terminated the Former Revolving Credit Facility. No early termination fees were incurred by the Company in connection with the termination of the Former Revolving Credit Facility. A loss on extinguishment of $0.3 million relating to unamortized deferred costs was recognized in interest expense.

Former Term Loan

The Company also had a four-year, $40.0 million term loan agreement with a lending group, which included Archer Well Company Inc. (“Archer”) and an affiliate of Quintana Capital Group, L.P. (“Quintana”) that was scheduled to mature on December 19, 2020. The Former Term Loan agreement contained customary restrictive covenants that required the Company not to exceed or fall below two key ratios, a maximum loan to value ratio of 77% and a minimum liquidity of $6.75 million. The interest rate on the unpaid principal was 10.0% interest per annum and accrued on a daily basis. At the end of each quarter all accrued and unpaid interest was paid in kind by capitalizing and adding to the outstanding principal balance. In connection with the closing of the IPO on February 13, 2018, the Former Term Loan was settled in full by cash and common shares in the company. In connection with the settlement of the Former Term Loan, a prepayment fee of 3%, or approximately $1.3 million was paid. The prepayment fee is recorded as a loss on extinguishment and included within interest expense. The Company also recognized $5.4 million of unamortized discount expense and $1.7 million of unamortized deferred financing cost.

New ABL Facility

In connection with the closing of the IPO on February 13, 2018, we entered into a new semi-secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “New ABL Facility”) with each lender party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent. The New ABL Facility replaced the Former Revolving Credit Facility, which was terminated in conjunction with the effectiveness of the New ABL Facility. The New ABL Facility provides for a $100.0 million revolving credit facility subject to a borrowing base. Upon closing of the New ABL the borrowing capacity was $77.6 million and $13.0 million was immediately drawn. The loan interest rate on the borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2018, was 4.63%. As of March 31, 2018, $13.0 million was outstanding under the New ABL Facility.

The New ABL Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other restricted payments, investments (including acquisitions) and transactions with affiliates. Certain affirmative covenants, including certain reporting requirements and requirements to establish cash dominion accounts with the administrative agent, are triggered by failing to maintain availability under the New ABL Facility at or above specified thresholds or by the existence of an event of default under the New ABL Facility. The New ABL Facility provides for some exemptions to its negative covenants allowing the Company to make certain restricted payments and investments; subject to maintaining availability under the New ABL Facility at or above a specified threshold and the absence of a default.

The New ABL Facility contains a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 that is triggered when availability under the New ABL Facility falls below a specified threshold and is tested until availability exceeds a separate specified threshold for 30 consecutive days.

The New ABL Facility contains events of default customary for facilities of this nature, including, but not limited, to: (i) events of default resulting from the Borrowers’ failure or the failure of any credit party to comply with covenants (including the above-referenced financial covenant during periods in which the financial covenant is tested); (ii) the occurrence of a change of control; (iii) the institution of insolvency or similar proceedings against the Borrowers or any credit party; and (iv) the occurrence of a default under any other material indebtedness the Borrowers or any guarantor may have. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, subject to the terms and conditions of the New ABL Facility, the lenders will be able to declare any outstanding principal balance of our New ABL Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable and exercise other remedies, including remedies against the collateral, as more particularly specified in the New ABL Facility. As of March 31, 2018 the Company was in compliance with debt covenants.

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Mar. 31, 2018
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 6 – Income Taxes Our accounting Predecessor, was originally organized as a limited partnership and treated as a flow-through entity for federal and most state income tax purposes. As such, taxable income or loss and any related tax credits were passed through to its members and were included in their tax returns. In an effort to initiate a public offering, the Company restructured, effective February 13, 2018, and is now recognized as a corporation. Accordingly, a provision for federal and state corporate income taxes has been made only for the operations of the Company from February 13, 2018 through March 31, 2018 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the future tax consequences or benefits of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements using enacted tax rates. In connection with the IPO and related Reorganization Transactions, the Company was formed as a corporation to hold all of the operating companies of QES LP, which was subsequently renamed Quintana Energy Services LLC. Because QES is a taxable entity, the Company established a provision for deferred income taxes as of February 13, 2018. ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the Company to reduce its deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. As a result of the evaluation of both the positive and negative evidence, the Company determined it does not believe it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be utilized in the foreseeable future and has therefore recorded a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance as of March 31, 2018 fully offsets the impact of the initial cumulative deferred tax benefit recorded related to the formation of QES. Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the future tax consequences or benefits of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements using enacted tax rates. The Company will adopt ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes and will classify any deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. ASC 740-270-25, Income Taxes – Interim Reporting, requires the Company to compute its interim tax provision by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to ordinary income (or loss) and then computing the tax expense (or benefit) related to all other items individually. The Company has incurred a year to date ordinary loss for the quarter, however, plans to be in an ordinary income position for the year. As such, the interim period benefit shall be computed in accordance with ASC 740-270-30-5, in which the estimated annual effective tax rate shall be applied to the year to date ordinary income at the end of each interim period and any tax benefit as a result, shall be limited if determined the benefit will not be realized. Total tax expense was $50,990 resulting in a negative effective tax rate of 0.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The negative effective tax rate is primarily due to our full valuation allowance position and state tax expense, which creates a deviation from the customary relationships between income tax (expense)/benefit and pre-tax income/(loss). On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). The legislation significantly changed U.S. tax law by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates from a maximum of 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, making changes to the utilization of net operating losses, abolishing the alternate minimum tax and establishing interest expense limitations. The Company has applied the new corporate tax rate and other applicable provisions to calculate its interim tax provision. Due to anticipated future guidance from the Internal Revenue Service, and interpretation of the changes in tax law, the amounts recorded as a result of implementation of the Tax Reform Act could be subject to change. Tax positions are evaluated for recognition using a more-likely-than-not threshold, and those tax positions requiring recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. At March 31, 2018, the Company did not have any accrued liability for uncertain tax positions and does not anticipate recognition of any significant liabilities for uncertain tax positions during the next 12 months.

Business Concentration	Mar. 31, 2018
Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Business Concentration	NOTE 8 – Business Concentration Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because the Company performs credit evaluations, sets credit limits and monitors the payment patterns of its customers. Cash balances on deposits with financial institutions, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company regularly monitors the institutions’ financial condition. The majority of the Company’s business is conducted with large, midsized, small and independent oil and gas operators E&P companies. The Company evaluates the financial strength of customers, provides allowances for probable credit losses when deemed necessary and evaluates the market for the Company’s services in the oil and gas industry in the United States, a market that has historically experienced significant volatility. As of March 31, 2018, one customer’s revenue represented 13.7% of the Company’s consolidated revenue. There were no customers whose revenue exceeded 10.0% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2018, two customers had balances due that represented 14.6% and 11.2%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	NOTE 9 – Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Regulations & Liabilities The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for the protection of the environment. The Company continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations. However, the Company cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements on its business, which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. Currently, the Company has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations or liabilities that would have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of its business, material costs could be incurred in the near term to maintain compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible regulation or liabilities, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification. Litigation The Company is a defendant or otherwise involved in a number of lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. Estimates of the range of liability related to pending litigation are made when the Company believes the amount and range of loss can be estimated and records its best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable. When a liability is probable, and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuits or claims is recorded. As additional information becomes available, the potential liability related to pending litigation and claims is assessed and the estimate is revised. Due to uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ from estimates. The Company’s ultimate exposure with respect to pending lawsuits and claims is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. A class action has been filed against one of the Company’s subsidiaries alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) relating to non-payment of overtime pay. The Company believes its pay practices comply with the FLSA. The case is working its way through the various stages of the legal process, however management believes the Company’s exposure is not material. The Company is not aware of any other matters that may have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

NOTE 10 – Segment Information

QES currently has four reportable business segments: Directional Drilling, Pressure Pumping, Pressure Control and Wireline. These business segments have been selected based on the Company’s chief operating decisions maker’s (the “CODM”) assessment of resource allocation and performance. The Company considers its Chief Executive Officer to be its CODM. The CODM evaluates the performance of our business segments based on revenue and income measures, which include non-GAAP measures.

Directional Drilling

Our Directional Drilling segment is comprised of directional drilling services, downhole navigational and rental tools businesses and support services, including well planning and site supervision, which assists customers in the drilling and placement of complex directional and horizontal wellbores. This segment utilizes its fleet of in-house positive pulse measurement-while-drilling (“MWD”) navigational tools, mud motors and ancillary downhole tools, as well as third-party electromagnetic (“EM”) navigational systems. The demand for these services tends to be influenced primarily by customer drilling-related activity levels. We provide directional drilling and associated services to E&P companies in many of the most active areas of onshore oil and natural gas development in the United States, including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Mid-Continent region (including the SCOOP/STACK), Marcellus/Utica Shale and DJ/Powder River Basin.

Pressure Pumping

Our Pressure Pumping segment provides hydraulic fracturing stimulation services, cementing services and acidizing services. The majority of the revenues generated in this segment are derived from pressure pumping services focused on fracturing, cementing and acidizing services in the Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountains regions. These pressure pumping and stimulation services are primarily used in the completion, production and maintenance of oil and gas wells. Customers for this segment include major E&P operators as well as independent oil and gas producers.

Pressure Control

Our Pressure Control segment supplies a wide variety of equipment, services and expertise in support of completion and workover operations throughout the United States. Its capabilities include coiled tubing, snubbing, fluid pumping, nitrogen, well control and other pressure control related services. Our pressure control equipment is tailored to the unconventional resources market with the ability to operate under high pressures without having to delay or cease production during completion operations. We provide our pressure control services primarily in the Mid-Continent region (including the SCOOP/STACK), Eagle Ford Shale, Permian Basin, Marcellus/Utica Shale, DJ/Powder River Basin, Haynesville Shale, Fayetteville Shale and Willinston Basins (including the Bakken Shale).

Wireline

Our Wireline segment provides new well wireline conveyed tight-shale reservoir perforating services across many of the major U.S. shale basins and also offers a range of services such as cased-hole investigation and production logging services, conventional wireline and tubing conveyed perforating services, mechanical services and pipe recovery services. These services are offered in both new well completions and for remedial work. The majority of the revenues generated in our Wireline segment are derived from the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Mid-Continent region (including the SCOOP/STACK), Haynesville Shale and East Texas Basin as well as in industrial and petrochemical facilities.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA

The Company views Adjusted EBITDA as an important indicator of segment performance. The Company defines Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, net (gain) loss on disposition of assets, stock based compensation, transaction expenses, rebranding expenses, settlement expenses, severance expenses and equipment standup expense. The CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of segment operating performance.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

NOTE 11 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In adopting ASC 606, the Company’s revenue recognition model largely aligns with its historical revenue recognition pattern. Immaterial differences may exist for contracts with initial mobilization and demobilization charges. We determined that the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our retained earnings at the beginning of the fiscal year 2018, our statement of operations or statement of cash flows.

The Company has also exercised the following practical expedients and accounting policy elections provided by ASC 606 for all its service contracts.

QES occasionally pays commissions to its sales staff for successfully obtaining a contract. The commission payment is incremental costs of obtaining a contract and should be capitalized and amortized over the contract period. However, ASC 340-40-25-4 provides a practical expedient, which states that “an entity may recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.” Management has elected to use this practical expedient as most of the Company’s service contracts are less than a month. Accordingly, the Company expenses the commission expense as incurred.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12 that allows an entity to make an accounting policy election to exclude from the transaction price certain types of taxes collected from a customer (i.e., present revenue net of these taxes), including sales, use, value-added and some excise taxes.

Typical Contractual Arrangements

The Company typically provides the services based upon a combination of a Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) or its General Terms & Conditions (T&Cs”) and a purchase order or other similar forms of work requests that primarily operate on a spot market basis for a defined work scope on a particular well or well pad. Services are provided based on a price book and bid on a day rate, stage rate or job basis. QES may also charge for the mobilization and set-up of equipment and for materials and consumables used in the services. Contracts generally are short-term in nature, ranging from a few hours to multiple weeks. Contracts typically do not stipulate substantive early termination penalties for either party. As such, the Company determined that its contracts are day to day, even though parties typically do not terminate the contract early during the normal course of business. In cases where the customer terminates the contract early, the Company has an enforceable right to payment for services performed to date. Under dayrate contracts, we generally receive a contractual dayrate for each day we are performing services. The contractual dayrate may vary based on the status of the operations and generally includes a full operating rate and a standby rate. Other fees may be stipulated in the contract related to mobilization and setup of equipment and reimbursements for consumables and cost of tools and equipment, that are involuntarily damaged or lost-in-hole.

Performance Obligations and Transaction Price

Customers generally contract with us to provide an integrated service of personnel and equipment for directional drilling, pressure pumping, pressure control or wireline services. The Company is seen by the operator as the overseer of its services and is compensated to provide an entire suite for its scope of services. QES determined that each service contract contains a single performance obligation, which is each day’s service. In addition, each day’s service is within the scope of the series guidance as both criteria of series guidance are met: 1) each distinct increment of service (i.e., days available to supervise or number of stages determined at contract inception) that the Company agrees to transfer represents a performance obligation that meets the criteria for recognizing revenue over time, and 2) the Company would use the same method for measuring progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation for each distinct increment of service in the series. Therefore, the Company has determined that each service contract contains one single performance obligation, which is the series of each distinct stage or day’s service.

The transaction price for the Company’s service contracts is based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for providing the services over the specified term and includes both fixed amounts and unconstrained variable amounts. In addition, the contract term may impact the determination and allocation of the transaction price and recognition of revenue. As the Company’s contracts do not stipulate substantive termination penalties, the contract is treated as day to day. Typically, the only fixed or known consideration at contract inception is initial mobilization and demobilization (where it is contractually guaranteed). In cases where the demobilization fee is not fixed, the Company estimates the variable consideration using the expected value method and includes this in the transaction price to the extent it is not constrained. Variable consideration is generally constrained if it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. As the contracts are not enforceable, the contract price should not include any estimation for the dayrate or stage rate charges.

Recognition of Revenue

Directional drilling, pressure pumping, pressure control and wireline services are consumed as the services are performed and generally enhance a well site for which the customer or operator owns the rights to. Work performed on a well site does not create an asset with an alternative use to the contractor since the well/asset being worked on is owned by the customer. Therefore, the Company’s measure of progress for our contracts are hours available to provide the services over the contracted duration. This unit of measure is representative of an output method as described in ASC 606.

The following chart details the types of fees found in a typical service contract and the related recognition method under ASC 606:


Fee type		Revenue Recognition
Dayrate		Revenue is recognized based on the dayrates earned as it relates to the level of service provided for each day throughout the contract.
Initial mobilization		Revenue is estimated at contract inception and included in the transaction price to be recognized ratably over contract term.
Demobilization		Unconstrained demobilization revenue is estimated at contract inception, included in the transaction price, and recognized ratably over the contract term.
Reimbursement		Recognized (gross of costs incurred) at the amount billed to the customer.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregated revenue by major service line. The table below is a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the reported results (in thousands of dollars):


	Three months ended March 31,		Year ended December 31,
	2018		2017
	(In thousands)

Pressure Pumping		53,400		153,118
Pressure Control		27,961		89,912
Wireline		22,305		49,773

Total	$	141,268	$	438,033

Future Performance Obligations and Financing Arrangements

As our contracts are day to day and short-term in nature, the Company determined that it does not have material future performance obligations or financing arrangements under its service contracts. Payments are typically due within 30 days after the services are rendered. The timing between the recognition of revenue and receipt of payment is not significant.

No contract assets or liabilities were recognized related to contracts with our customers.

Share-Based Compensation

NOTE 12 – Share-Based Compensation

Our executive officers and certain other key employees were previously granted phantom units, which is an award of common units representing membership interest in our accounting Predecessor, with no exercise price. Each unit represents the right to receive, at the end of a stipulated period, one unrestricted membership unit with no exercise price, subject to the terms of the applicable phantom unit agreement. Full vesting of the units was based on dual vesting components. The first was the time vesting component and the second component required the consummation of a specified transaction, which was met upon the completion of the Company’s IPO. All grants of phantom units converted to an equivalent grant of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) in QES following the IPO.

The Company recognized $9.9 million in equity based compensation in the three months ended March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, total unamortized compensation costs related to unvested RSU awards were $18.4 million and $27.7 million, respectively.

2015 Grant

During 2015, 5.8 million phantom units were awarded to executive officers and other key employees. These phantom units time vested as of December 31, 2015, and all 5.8 million phantom units remained outstanding as of December 31, 2017. As of February 13, 2018, upon the consummation of the Company’s IPO, these phantom units fully vested as common shares in QES. Each 31.669363 phantom units were then converted to one common share in QES.

2017 Grant

In 2017, the Company awarded approximately 46.3 million phantom units to executive officers and other key employees. These phantom units required a specified transaction as a performance component and a time vesting component spread equally over four years. As of December 31, 2017, 45.8 million phantom units remained outstanding, none of which had fully vested. As of February 13, 2018, on the consummation of the Company’s IPO, the phantom units partially vested as the IPO satisfied the grants’ performance requirement. Also following the IPO, the right of each phantom unit to be exchanged for an interest in QES LP converted to an equivalent right to RSUs in QES and each 31.669363 phantom unit converted to one RSU in QES. On February 28, 2018, the majority of the 2017 grants reached their first anniversary and 352,651 shares time vested.

The grant agreements with each executive officer and key employees calls for each phantom unit to be settled for one share in QES unless the board of directors of the Company, in its discretion, elects to pay an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of a share on the full vesting date.

2018 Grant

In April, 2018, the Company awarded 951,270 restricted stock units to its directors and employees under the Company’s 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Each restricted stock unit represents the contingent right to receive one share of QES common stock.

All restricted stock units awarded to non-employee Company directors include a time vesting element with each grant vesting on the first anniversary of the Company’s IPO (“Director RSUs”). In total, our non-employee directors were granted 57,145 Director RSUs.

All restricted stock units awarded to employees include a time vesting element, with each grant vesting in equal parts over a 3-year period on the anniversary of the Company’s IPO. The restricted stock units awarded to employees are divided into two categories: (1) restricted stock units with time vesting only (“RSUs”) and (2) restricted stock units with a performance requirement and time vesting requirements (“PSUs”).

The RSUs will vest in equal one-third installments on the first three anniversaries of the Company’s IPO, in each case, so long as the grantee remains continuously employed by the Company from the grant date through each applicable vesting date. In total, we granted 476,542 RSUs to employees.

The PSUs require the achievement of a certain performance as measured on December 31, 2018, based on (i) the Company’s performance with respect to relative total stockholder return and (ii) the Company’s performance with respect to absolute total stockholder return. Any PSUs that have not been earned at the end of a performance period are forfeited. Should the grantee satisfy the service requirement applicable to such earned performance share unit, vesting shall occur in equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the Company’s IPO. In total, we granted 417,583 PSUs to employees.

A summary of the status and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2018 of the Company’s shares of non-vested RSUs is as follows:


	Number of Shares (in thousands)			Grant Date Fair Value per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Life (in years)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements *Adopted in 2018* In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes most existing industry-specific guidance. ASC 606 creates a framework by which an entity allocates the transaction price to separate performance obligations and recognizes revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Under the new standard, entities are required to use judgment and make estimates, including identifying performance obligations in a contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation and determining when an entity satisfies its performance obligations. The standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption, meaning that the standard is applied to all of the periods presented with a cumulative catch-up as of the earliest period presented, or “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative catch-up in the current period. In July and December 2016, the FASB issued various additional authoritative guidance for the new revenue recognition standard. The accounting standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s 2018 first quarter interim condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company adopted ASC 606, effective January 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective method of adoption. See Note 11, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” for more details on the adoption and impacts of implementing ASC 606. In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities constitutes a business. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as it did not have any business combinations transactions. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies what constitutes a modification of a share-based payment award. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows because there has been no modification to our equity-based payment awards. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments providing new guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments including debt extinguishment costs, debt prepayment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and life insurance policies and distributions received from equity method investees in the statement of cash flows. This update is required to be applied using the retrospective transition method to each period presented unless it is impracticable to be applied retrospectively. In such situation, this guidance is to be applied prospectively. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018, which did not impact 2017 results, but resulted in a $1.3 million prepayment premium cost being reported under financing activities relating to the debt extinguishment of the Company’s $40.0 million term loan at the closing of the IPO. *Accounting Standards not yet adopted* In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The guidance is effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. While the exact impact of this standard is not known, the guidance is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, due to the leased assets and corresponding lease liability that will be recognized, as the Company has operating and real property lease arrangements for which it is the lessee.
