Quest Integrity

What Quest Integrity does

Quest Integrity is a private, wholly-owned Baker Hughes subsidiary that provides asset integrity and reliability management solutions to the global oil and gas, refining, chemical, offshore and power sectors. Founded in 2004 as a joint venture between Quest Integrated and Koch Industries and acquired by Baker Hughes in 2024, the company is headquartered in Stafford, Texas and operates regional offices plus channel partners across North America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Europe with a headcount in the 251–500 band.

The company's core technology stack centers on proprietary ultrasonic in-line inspection (ILI) tools — the InVista® family (standard, Subsea and Marine variants), FTIS® for fired-heater tubes, AQiRE™ EMAT for small-diameter gas pipeline crack detection, QWIX™ for well casing integrity, and ADCV™ for decoking verification — paired with a software portfolio (Signal FFS™, FEACrack™, CorrectIR™, Pacifica™, Streamline Universal Platform™) for fracture-mechanics analysis, fitness-for-service assessments per API 579/ASME FFS and remaining-life prediction. Engineering services span FFS, failure analysis, pipeline integrity engineering, metallurgical consulting and integrity optimization, with technical staff directly involved in API 579/ASME FFS-1 standard development.

Quest Integrity monetizes through three revenue streams: project-based inspection services, engineering assessment consulting, and recurring software subscriptions with annual maintenance. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct engagement with major pipeline operators, refiners, offshore operators and power generators, supplemented by a network of channel partners in selected Asia Pacific and Middle Eastern markets. Pricing is custom and project-based, not publicly disclosed.
