Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation We are named defendants in several lawsuits and respondents in certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or other proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. Contingencies of Discontinued Operations During 2011, in connection with the sale of a significant majority of Maritech's oil and gas producing properties, the buyers of the properties assumed the associated decommissioning liabilities pursuant to the purchase and sale agreements. To the extent that a buyer of these properties fails to perform the abandonment and decommissioning work required, a previous owner, including Maritech, may be required to perform the abandonment and decommissioning obligation. As the former parent company of Maritech, we also may be responsible for performing these abandonment and decommissioning obligations. In March 2018, we closed the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco") that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of the Maritech Properties. Also in March 2018, we finalized the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement with Orinoco that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of the Maritech Equity Interests. Pursuant to a bonding agreement as part of these transactions (the "Bonding Agreement"), Orinoco is required to replace, within 90 days following the closing, the initial bonds delivered at closing with non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain requirements, in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million. Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and we are seeking to enforce the terms of the Bonding Agreement. The non-revocable performance bonds delivered at the closing remain in effect. As a result of these transactions, we have effectively exited the businesses of our Offshore Services and Maritech segments and Orinoco assumed all of Maritech's remaining abandonment and decommissioning obligations.
