Quest has created the world’s largest repository of data detailing forecast and active Deepwater Projects worldwide focused on Subsea, Floating Production, Deepwater Pipelines, Umbilicals. This bank of accurate data has also led Quest to provide many companies with "Global Market Overview and Indicator Reports", as well as provide associated consultancy services.
Quest is also deeply entrenched within the Offshore Marine Construction sector, providing information on markets, assets and news, also providing specialist reports from their consultancy services.
At its inception, the company acquired the SUBSEA-DATA-BASE, that was founded in 1982 by Derrick Booth and is widely recognized as the world’s leading source of detailed forecast and active/abandoned subsea data for the Offshore Oil Industry. After incorporating the SUBSEA-DATA-BASE, Quest added related databases to its portfolio - the two largest databases detail Worldwide Floating Production Systems (1975-2008) and Deepwater Pipelines/Umbilicals (1999-2008).
Quest was incorporated in Texas in 1999 and is headquartered in Houston, with an International Sales Office in Greater London, England and satellite offices in Singapore and Aberdeen.
