Tetra Technologies Inc (NYSE: TTI) is an oilfield services company that provides completion fluids, water management, and flowback services to oil and gas exploration and production operators. Revenue comes from two segments: Completion Fluids & Products, which manufactures and sells calcium chloride, calcium bromide, zinc bromide, and related salt-solution products used to control bottom-hole pressures during well completion and workover operations, and Water & Flowback Services, which provides water management, frac flowback, and production well testing services. The company is incorporated in Delaware, founded in 1981, and headquartered in Spring, Texas. Operations span the United States, Europe (including manufacturing in Kokkola, Finland), Latin America, and the Middle East. A nascent third business line centers on bromine and lithium extraction from brine leases in the Smackover Formation in Southwest Arkansas, with resources classified as measured, indicated, and inferred as of a September 2025 updated Technical Report Summary, though commercial viability remains undemonstrated.
