Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting | Note 3. Segment Reporting and Geographical Area Data The Performance Chemicals, Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services segments operate in markets where we actively seek growth opportunities although their ultimate customers are different. The Octane Additives segment ceased trading and is no longer a reporting segment from July 1, 2020. Our Performance Chemicals segment provides effective technology-based solutions for our customers’ processes or products focused in the personal care, home care, agrochemical, mining and other industrial markets. Our Fuel Specialties segment develops, manufactures, blends, markets and supplies a range of specialty chemicals products used as additives to a wide range of fuels. Our Oilfield Services segment develops and markets chemical solutions for fracturing, drilling, stimulation and completion operations, products for oil and gas production and transport which aid flow assurance and maintain asset integrity. The Octane Additives business has ceased trading and is no longer a reporting segment from July 1, 2020 as the production of TEL for use in motor gasoline has finished. Legacy costs related to these operations are now being recorded as operating expenses within corporate costs. In 2022, the Company had a significant customer in the Oilfield Services segment which accounted for $222.2 million (11.3%) of our net group sales. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on operating income. The following table analyzes sales and other financial information by the Company’s reportable segments:

Sales by geographical area are reported by source, being where the transactions originated. Intercompany sales are priced using an appropriate pricing methodology and are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Identifiable assets are those directly associated with the operations of the geographical area. Goodwill has not been allocated by geographical location on the grounds that it would be impracticable to do so.
