PetroQuest Energy, Inc.

Anchored off the United States' Gulf Coast Basin, PetroQuest Energy, Inc. could not further weather steep drops in sales and working capital, which in large part led to their November 2018 bankruptcy.

For the preceding 24 months before their Nov. 6, 2018 filing, CreditRiskMonitor subscribers who had this volatile oil and gas company in their portfolio would have seen a troubling pattern, as their FRISK® score never rose above a "2" in that time. The FRISK® score is CreditRiskMontor's proprietary solution which boasts a 96% rate of accuracy in predicting U.S. public company bankruptcy risk within a 12-month period.
