Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	1.     ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Oil States International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (referred to in this report as we or the Company) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) pertaining to interim financial information. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. The unaudited financial statements included in this report reflect all the adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods covered and for the financial condition of the Company at the date of the interim balance sheet. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
	In September 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Marubeni-Itochu Tubulars America, Inc. (Marubeni-Itochu) for the sale of Sooner, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Sooner), which comprised the entirety of the Company’s tubular services segment. The applicable assets and liabilities of this business have been classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented have been reclassified to reflect the presentation of discontinued operations. Unless otherwise indicated, all disclosures and amounts in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company’s continuing operations.
	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. If the underlying estimates and assumptions, upon which the financial statements are based, change in future periods, actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
	The financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the 2012 Form 10-K).

	6.     BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND GOODWILL
	On August 29, 2013, we acquired the 51% majority interest in a venture we had previously accounted for under the equity method. The acquired business provides design, manufacturing, sales and aftermarket services for newly manufactured cranes in India. Consideration paid for the majority interest was $1.45 million in cash. The operations of this business have been included in the offshore products segment since the acquisition date.
	On December 14, 2012, we acquired all of the equity of Tempress Technologies, Inc. (Tempress) for purchase price consideration of $49.5 million consisting of $32.5 million in cash plus contingent consideration with an estimated fair market value of $17.0 million at closing. During the second quarter of 2013, the estimated fair market value of the contingent liability was increased to $20.0 million due to favorable developments related to a patent application by Tempress, resulting in a $3.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share after tax, charge to other operating expense. The patent was granted in the third quarter of 2013 and the $20.0 million in contingent consideration was paid to the former shareholders of Tempress. The Company’s current escrowed deposits of $5.3 million include other consideration for seller transaction indemnities, are considered restricted cash and are classified as “Other current assets” in our September 30, 2013 Consolidated Balance Sheet and “Other noncurrent assets” in our December 31, 2012 Consolidated Balance Sheet. Liabilities for escrowed amounts expected to be paid to the seller also totaled $5.3 million and are classified as “Other current liabilities” in our September 30, 2013 Consolidated Balance Sheet and “Other noncurrent liabilities” in our December 31, 2012 Consolidated Balance Sheet. Headquartered in Kent, Washington, Tempress designs, develops and markets a suite of highly specialized, hydraulically-activated tools utilized during downhole completion activities. The operations of Tempress have been included in our well site services segment since the acquisition date.
	On July 2, 2012, we acquired all of the operating assets of Piper Valve Systems, Ltd (Piper). Headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Piper designs and manufactures high pressure valves and manifold components for oil and gas industry projects offshore (surface and subsea) and onshore. Piper's valve technology complements our offshore products segment, allowing us to integrate their valve products and services into our existing subsea products such as pipeline end manifolds and terminals, increasing our suite of global deepwater product and service offerings. Cash consideration paid for the acquisition totaled $48.0 million. The operations of Piper have been included in our offshore products segment since the acquisition date.
	In December 2010, we also acquired all of the operating assets of Mountain West Oilfield Service and Supplies, Inc. and Ufford Leasing LLC (Mountain West) for total consideration of $47.1 million including estimated contingent consideration of $4.0 million. During the first quarter of 2013, the liability for the estimated contingent consideration recorded in connection with this transaction was adjusted to its estimated fair value of zero resulting in the recording of other operating income of $4.0 million. Contingent consideration for the Mountain West acquisition was estimated based upon the amount of earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization and taxes expected to be earned by the acquired business during the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, subject to adjustment for capital spending levels.

	On September 6, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Marubeni-Itochu for the sale of Sooner, which comprised the entirety of the Company’s tubular services segment. Total consideration received by the Company was $600 million, which remains subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including final working capital determination. We recognized a net gain on disposal of $128.6 million ($84.2 million after-tax) during the third quarter of 2013, which is included within “Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
	In connection with this transaction, the parties have entered into a transition services agreement for the Company to provide certain information technology applications and infrastructure and various administrative services to Sooner during the transition period ranging from one to three months from the closing date depending on the nature of the service provided in exchange for monthly service fees. Either party has the option to terminate such transition services with notice at any time and Sooner may elect to extend such services for up to one month. The future continuing cash flows from the disposed business to the Company resulting from the transition services agreement are not significant and do not constitute a material continuing financial interest in Sooner.
	Sooner, which had previously been presented as a separate reporting unit, meets the criteria for being reported as a discontinued operation and has been reclassified from continuing operations. The amounts in the table below reflect the operating results of Sooner reported as discontinued operations (in thousands). The $128.6 million ($84.2 after-tax) net gain related to the disposal of Sooner is excluded.

	In accordance with current accounting standards regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information, the Company has identified the following reportable segments: well site services, accommodations and offshore products. The Company’s reportable segments represent strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technologies and marketing strategies. Most of the businesses were initially acquired as a unit, and the management at the time of the acquisition was retained. Subsequent acquisitions have been direct extensions to our business segments. Separate business lines within the well site services segment have been disclosed to provide additional detail for that segment. Results of a portion of our accommodations segment supporting Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) and traditional oil and natural gas drilling activities are impacted by seasonally higher activity during the Canadian winter drilling season occurring in the first calendar quarter, typically followed by lower activity during Spring break-up in the second quarter.
	Financial information by business segment for continuing operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is summarized in the following table (in thousands):

Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to its acquisition of businesses, and some relate to businesses it has sold. In certain cases, the Company is entitled to indemnification from the sellers of businesses, and in other cases, it has indemnified the buyers of businesses from it. Although the Company can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on it, management believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

	15.  PLANNED SPIN-OFF OF ACCOMMODATIONS BUSINESS
	On July 30, 2013, we announced that our board of directors has approved pursuing the spin-off of our accommodations business into a stand-alone, publicly traded corporation through a tax-free distribution of the accommodations business to the Company’s shareholders. The objective of the spin-off is to more effectively focus on two distinct businesses, achieve lower cost of capital for our accommodations business, to pursue more tailored and aggressive growth strategies and optimize operating efficiencies among other objectives. The spin-off is subject to market conditions, the receipt of an affirmative IRS ruling or independent tax opinion, the completion of a review by the Commission of a Form 10 to be filed by the accommodations business, the execution of separation and intercompany agreements and final approval of our board of directors and is expected to be completed in or before the summer of 2014. The Accommodations business will initially be spun-off as a C-Corporation, which offers a faster path to separation. The Accommodations business will continue to assess the feasibility and advisability of a potential future conversion into a real estate investment trust (REIT). In connection with this announced spin-off, we anticipate the need to separately capitalize the accommodations business and to refinance the Company’s existing debt.

	16.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
	Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, as detailed below (the Guarantor Subsidiaries), have guaranteed all of the 6 1/2% Notes and all of the 5 1/8% Notes. These guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to the following release provisions:
		●	in connection with any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the capital stock of that guarantor after which that guarantor is no longer a restricted subsidiary;
		●	upon proper designation of a guarantor by the Company as an unrestricted subsidiary;
		●	upon the release or discharge of all outstanding guarantees by a guarantor of indebtedness of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries under any credit facility;
		●	upon legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture; or
		●	upon the dissolution of a guarantor, provided no event of default has occurred under the indentures and is continuing.
	The following condensed consolidating financial information is included so that separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not required to be filed with the Commission. The condensed consolidating financial information presents investments in both consolidated and unconsolidated affiliates using the equity method of accounting.
	The following condensed consolidating financial information presents: condensed consolidating statements of income for each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the statements of cash flows for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 of (a) the Company, parent/guarantor, (b) Acute Technological Services, Inc., Capstar Holding, L.L.C., Capstar Drilling, Inc., General Marine Leasing, LLC, Oil States Energy Services L.L.C., Oil States Energy Services Holding, Inc., OSES International Holding, L.L.C., Oil States Management, Inc., Oil States Industries, Inc., Oil States Skagit SMATCO, LLC, PTI Group USA LLC, PTI Mars Holdco 1, LLC and Tempress Technologies, Inc. (the Guarantor Subsidiaries), (c) the non-guarantor subsidiaries, (d) consolidating adjustments necessary to consolidate the Company and its subsidiaries and (e) the Company on a consolidated basis.
	With our sale of Sooner, Inc. on September 6, 2013, it is no longer a Guarantor Subsidiary. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Balance Sheets have been reclassified for all periods presented to reflect only the Company’s continuing operations.
	We have revised the presentation of our condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 to reflect equity contributions by the Parent Guarantor to Guarantor Subsidiaries of $14 million and by Guarantor Subsidiaries to Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries of $10 million between investing and financing activities in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X, which were previously presented as net amounts in investing activities as “proceeds from (funding of) accounts and notes with affiliates.” These changes had no impact on consolidated results, as previously reported.
