tQ Automation

What tQ Automation does

tQ Automation, LLC is a Houston-based engineering services firm serving the Oil & Gas and Renewable Energy sectors. The company delivers specialized technical services including electronic board repair and component support for field equipment (Weatherford, Lufkin, and Smarten boards, load cells, power supplies, cables), MWD/LWD product development (software, testing, validation, project management), project and change management for real-time monitoring systems in offshore drilling, and renewable energy system design covering EMS development, commissioning, and start-up planning. It also provides feasibility studies, strategy and operations planning, capacity building, and training, including diesel-to-renewable transition consulting for remote sites. Named and logo-confirmed clients span Occidental Petroleum, BP, Pertamina, Apache Corporation, Petroleum Development Oman, and Indonesia's state utility PT PLN, with additional affiliations to Wartsila, Wildfire Energy, Cantango, Fasken, and BASA.

The firm operates as a privately-held Texas LLC with 1-10 employees and a single headquarters at 11665 Fuqua Street, Suite F-610, Houston. Its revenue model is professional services delivered through bespoke, quote-based project proposals and multi-year contracts; no standardized pricing or subscription tiers are disclosed. Go-to-market is consultative direct sales to enterprise energy buyers (Oil & Gas operators, renewable energy companies, EPC firms, industrial organizations, and government utilities), supported by a corporate website, LinkedIn, and Facebook presence. In 2023-2024, tQ Automation secured a USTDA grant to lead a feasibility study for PT PLN on transitioning five remote Indonesian diesel genset sites to renewable energy, representing both a geographic expansion into Southeast Asia and a deliberate pivot into the energy-transition consulting segment alongside its legacy Oil & Gas work.

The company carries no disclosed external equity capital, no subsidiaries, no patents, and no AI/ML capability footprint. Its competitive position rests on cross-domain engineering talent (drilling technology plus renewable systems) and a niche aftermarket repair capability for branded industrial control boards, rather than on proprietary software platforms or recurring SaaS revenue.
