Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 10. Commitments and Contingencies As of September 30, 2019, the Company maintained letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $63.4 million primarily for the benefit of various insurance companies as collateral for retrospective premiums and retained losses which could become payable under the terms of the underlying insurance contracts. These letters of credit expire annually at various times during the year and are typically renewed. As of September 30, 2019, no amounts had been drawn under the letters of credit. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had commitments to purchase major equipment and make investments totaling approximately $63.3 million for its drilling, pressure pumping, directional drilling and oilfield rentals businesses. The Company’s pressure pumping business has entered into agreements to purchase minimum quantities of proppants and chemicals from certain vendors. The agreements expire in years 2019 through 2023. As of September 30, 2019, the remaining obligation under these agreements was approximately $44.9 million, of which approximately $7.2 million relates to purchases required during the remainder of 2019. In the event the required minimum quantities are not purchased during any contract year, the Company could be required to make a liquidated damages payment to the respective vendor for any shortfall. In 2017, the Company entered into a capacity reservation agreement that required a cash deposit to increase the Company’s access to finer grades of sand for its pressure pumping business. As market prices for sand substantially decreased since 2017, the Company purchased lower cost sand outside of this capacity reservation contract and recorded a charge of $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2019 to revalue the deposit to its expected realizable value. On July 18, 2018, OSHA issued a citation containing alleged violations, proposed abatement dates and an aggregate proposed penalty of approximately $74,000 in connection with an accident at a drilling site in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma that resulted in the losses of life of five people, including three of the Company’s employees. The Company filed a notice of contest with OSHA that contested all citation items, abatement dates and proposed penalties. The Department of Labor (the “DOL”) filed a complaint on OSHA’s behalf seeking enforcement of the citation as issued, and the Company filed an answer to the complaint. In October 2019, the Company and the DOL agreed to a settlement of all but one of the citation items, and a hearing on the remaining citation item was held before an administrative law judge. The Company and the DOL will file post-hearing briefs and await the judge’s determination. The Company is party to various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
