Restructuring, Impairment and Other
RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER
We recorded restructuring, impairment and other charges of $146 million and $59 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $308 million and $101 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Details of these charges are discussed below.
RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
In the current and prior periods, we approved various restructuring plans globally, mainly to consolidate manufacturing and service facilities, rationalize product lines and rooftops, and reduce headcount across various functions. As a result, we recognized a charge of $68 million and $38 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $193 million and $73 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These restructuring initiatives will generate charges post June 30, 2018, and the related estimated remaining charges are approximately $151 million.
The amount of costs not included in the reported segment results is as follows:

Other charges comprised of accelerated amortization of $32 million and $69 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, related to trade names and technology in our Oilfield Services segment that we ceased to use at the end of the second quarter of 2018 as a result of the combination of Baker Hughes and GE O&G.
