For the year ended December 31, 2020, impairment and abandonment costs of $7.9 million were comprised of leasehold improvements related to abandoned facilities, abandonment of certain saltwater and freshwater wells and obsolete machinery and equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company impaired $3.7 million of property and equipment as the carrying values were not deemed recoverable including $1.1 million of pipelines with low utilization, $1.0 million of layflat hose considered obsolete, $0.9 million related to divesting Canadian fixed assets, and $0.6 million related to an owned facility for sale. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined that long-lived assets with a carrying value of $2.3 million were no longer recoverable and were written down to their estimated fair value of zero.
