Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies During the first nine months of 2021, the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines progressed and many government-imposed restrictions were relaxed or rescinded. However, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic, business and market disruptions remains uncertain. The most direct and immediate impacts that the Company continues to experience is decreased demand for and pricing of its products and services due to lower activity levels by its customers resulting from the reduction in the demand for crude oil, market pressures driving increased capital discipline and, to a lesser extent, supply chain disruptions. While the prices of and demand for crude oil have recovered from the lows seen in the initial stages of the pandemic, further outbreaks or the emergence of new strains of the COVID-19 virus could result in the reimposition of domestic and international regulations directing individuals to stay at home, limiting travel, requiring facility closures and imposing quarantines. Widespread implementation of these or similar restrictions could result in reductions in the prices of and demand for crude oil and thus, the demand for the Company's products and services, as well as delays in or inability of the Company to fulfill its contractual obligations to customers, logistic constraints, increases in the Company's costs, workforce shortages and unavailability of raw materials. The Company continues to monitor the effect of COVID-19 on its employees, customers, critical suppliers and other stakeholders. The ultimate duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting governmental restrictions and the related impact on the prices of and the demand for crude oil and the United States and global economy and capital markets remains uncertain. The Company is a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning its commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials as a result of the Company's products or operations. Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to the acquisition of businesses, and some relate to businesses the Company has sold. In certain cases, the Company is entitled to indemnification from the sellers of businesses and, in other cases, the Company has indemnified the buyers of businesses. Although the Company can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on the Company, management believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by indemnity or insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Following the GEODynamics Acquisition in January 2018, the Company determined that certain steel products historically imported by GEODynamics from China for use in its manufacturing process were potentially subject to anti-dumping and countervailing duties. Following an internal review, the Company voluntarily disclosed this matter to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") and, in December 2020, reached an agreement with CBP to settle this matter for $7.3 million. The Company believes that the Seller is required to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against the amount of this and other settlements and related costs of $7.5 million, and the Company has provided notice to and asserted indemnification claims against the Seller. Additionally, the Company believes that its agreements with the Seller allow it to set-off such amounts against payments due under the $25.0 million promissory note and that, because the Company has asserted indemnification claims, the maturity date of such note is extended until the resolution of such claims. Accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying amount of such note in its consolidated balance sheet to $17.5 million as of September 30, 2021, which is the Company's current best estimate of what is owed after set-off for such indemnification matters. In August 2020, the Seller filed a breach of contract suit against the Company and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in federal court alleging that payments due under the promissory note are required to be, but have not been, repaid in accordance with the terms of the note. Additionally, the Seller alleged that it was entitled to approximately $19.0 million in U.S. federal income tax carryback claims received by the Company under the provisions of the CARES Act. On February 15, 2021, the Seller dismissed the federal lawsuit without prejudice and refiled its lawsuit in state court. On September 20, 2021, a motion by the Seller for partial summary judgement was dismissed. The Company denies the validity of these breach of contract claims and plans to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
