Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company is, and in the future could be, involved in various pending or threatened legal actions, some of which may or may not be covered by insurance. Management has reviewed such pending judicial and legal proceedings, the reasonably anticipated costs and expenses in connection with such proceedings, and the availability and limits of insurance coverage, and has established reserves that are believed to be appropriate in light of those outcomes that are believed to be probable and can be estimated. The reserves accrued at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, are immaterial. In the opinion of management, the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In October of 2017, one of our subsidiaries, Global Tubing LLC (“Global Tubing”), filed suit against Tenaris Coiled Tubes, LLC and Tenaris, S.A. (together “Tenaris”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas seeking a declaration that its DURACOILTM products do not infringe certain Tenaris patents related to coiled tubing. Tenaris filed counterclaims against Global Tubing alleging DURACOILTM products infringe three patents. Tenaris sought unspecified damages and a permanent injunction. In response, Global Tubing alleged that its products do not infringe and the Tenaris patents are invalid and unenforceable. On March 20, 2023, the court agreed with Global Tubing, finding all patents unenforceable and dismissing all Tenaris infringement claims. Global Tubing intends to seek an award of its attorneys’ fees and costs incurred as a result of the litigation. Tenaris has appealed the final judgment and Global Tubing has filed a cross-appeal. For further disclosure regarding certain litigation matters, refer to Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023.
