Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Litigation The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. EPA Environmental Proceeding On January 9, 2015, FC Pro, LLC (“FC Pro”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, received a letter and proposed consent agreement and final order from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) concerning alleged violations of the federal hazardous waste regulations at FC Pro’s specialty chemical blending facility in Waller, Texas. Specifically, EPA alleged that FC Pro failed to comply with certain notification, operating, and reporting requirements applicable to generators or large quantity generators of hazardous waste. FC Pro has resolved the alleged violations pursuant to a consent agreement and final order under which it did not admit or deny the allegations and agreed to pay an administrative penalty of $410,868, obtain an EPA identification number, and develop certain specified operating procedures. The consent agreement and final order has been signed by EPA and will become final upon being ratified by the regional judicial officer. Since this enforcement case was initiated, FC Pro has made changes to its operating practices at its Waller facility that it believes has resulted in it no longer generating hazardous waste at that facility. The amount of the civil penalty has been recorded as selling, general and administrative expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Concentrations and Credit Risk The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from the oil and gas industry. Customers include major oilfield services companies, major integrated oil and natural gas companies, independent oil and natural gas companies, pressure pumping service companies and state-owned national oil companies. This concentration of customers in one industry increases credit and business risks. The Company is subject to significant concentrations of credit risk within trade accounts receivable as the Company does not generally require collateral as support for trade receivables. In addition, the majority of the Company’s cash is maintained at a major financial institution and balances often exceed insurable amounts.
