Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Nuverra,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are unaudited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 , included herein, has been derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (or “GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on April 14, 2017. All dollar and share amounts in the footnote tabular presentations are in thousands, except per share amounts and unless otherwise noted. Unless stated otherwise, any reference to statement of operations items in these accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements refers to results from continuing operations. On May 1, 2017, the Company and certain of its material subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Nuverra Parties”) filed voluntary petitions under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) to pursue prepackaged plans of reorganization (together, and as amended, the “Plan”). On July 25, 2017 , the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan. The Plan became effective on August 7, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), when all remaining conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied or waived. Although the Nuverra Parties emerged from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, the bankruptcy cases will remain pending until closed by the Bankruptcy Court. See Note 3 on “Emergence from Chapter 11 Reorganization” for additional details. Upon emergence, we elected to apply fresh start accounting effective July 31, 2017, to coincide with the timing of our normal accounting period close. Refer to Note 4 on “Fresh Start Accounting” for additional information on the selection of this date. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting, as well as the effects of the implementation of the Plan, a new entity for financial reporting purposes was created, and as such, the condensed consolidated financial statements on or after August 1, 2017, are not comparable with the condensed consolidated financial statements prior to that date. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to July 31, 2017. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” refer to the financial position and results of operations of the Company on and prior to July 31, 2017. Going Concern Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Although we had a net loss for the two months ended September 30, 2017, we believe that the successful implementation of the Plan contemplated by our Restructuring, coupled with the exit financing we entered into upon our emergence from the chapter 11 cases, has provided us with sufficient liquidity to support our operations and service our debt obligations, and therefore substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern no longer exists. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements We adopted the guidance in ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”) as of January 1, 2017 when it became effective. Under the new standard, income tax benefits and deficiencies are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the tax effects of exercised or vested awards are treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. Additionally, excess tax benefits are recognized regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period and are classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. Upon adopting ASU 2016-09, an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. We have selected to make an entity wide accounting policy election to continue to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest. We have adopted the other provisions of the new guidance on a prospective basis, except when the modified retrospective transition method was specifically required. The adoption of this guidance has not had a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no other material changes or developments in our significant accounting policies or evaluation of accounting estimates and underlying assumptions or methodologies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The amendments in this update will be added to the ASC as Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and replaces the guidance in Topic 605. The underlying principle of the guidance in this update is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. This new revenue standard also calls for more detailed disclosures and provides guidance for transactions that weren’t addressed completely, such as service revenue and contract modifications which may be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). The guidance in ASU 2015-14 delays the effective date for the new revenue recognition guidance outlined in ASU 2014-09 to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is the reporting period starting January 1, 2018. We currently anticipate adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method. While we are still in the process of completing our analysis on the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, we do not expect the impact to be material. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires an entity that is a lessee to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. This guidance also requires disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption of ASU 2016-09 is permitted. While we are currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements, we expect the primary impact upon adoption will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets resulting in the recording of right of use assets and lease obligations. Based upon the current effective date, the new guidance would first apply to our reporting period starting January 1, 2019. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”) related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The pronouncement provides clarification and guidance on eight specific cash flow presentation issues that have developed due to diversity in practice. The issues include, but are not limited to, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018, and don’t believe that this new guidance will have a significant impact on the consolidated statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). This guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. As a result, restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the new guidance is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated statement of cash flows, other than the classification of restricted cash within the beginning-of-period and end-of-period totals on the consolidated statement of cash flows, as opposed to being excluded from these totals. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. We plan to early adopt this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2017 in conjunction with our annual impairment test as of October 1st. Previously our goodwill was tested for impairment annually at September 30th. However, upon emergence we have determined that our goodwill will be tested for impairment annually at October 1st and more frequently if events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The amendments in this ASU will be applied on a prospective basis and the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Reorganizations [Abstract]
Emergence from Chapter 11 Reorganization	Emergence from Chapter 11 Reorganization On May 1, 2017, the Nuverra Parties filed voluntary petitions under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court to pursue the Plan. On July 25, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan. On July 26, 2017, David Hargreaves, an individual holder of our pre-Effective Date 9.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”), appealed the Confirmation Order to the District Court for the District of Delaware (the “District Court”) and filed a motion for a stay pending appeal from the District Court. On August 3, 2017, the District Court entered an order denying the motion for a stay pending appeal. Notwithstanding the denial of the motion for stay pending appeal, Hargreaves’ appeal remains pending in the District Court. The Nuverra Parties emerged from the bankruptcy proceedings on the Effective Date. Although the Nuverra Parties emerged from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, the bankruptcy cases will remain pending until closed by the Bankruptcy Court. On the Effective Date, the Company: • Adopted a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Third Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company; • Appointed three new members to the Company’s Board of Directors to replace the directors of the Company who were deemed to have resigned on the Effective Date; • Entered into a new $45.0 million First Lien Credit Agreement by and among the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement Lenders”), ACF FinCo I, LP, as administrative agent (“Credit Agreement Agent”), and the Company, pursuant to which the Credit Agreement Lenders agreed to extend the Company a $30.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Successor Revolving Facility”) and a $15.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Successor First Lien Term Loan”); • Entered into a new $26.8 million Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement by and among the lenders party thereto (the “Second Lien Term Loan Lenders”), Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“Wilmington”), as administrative agent (the “Second Lien Term Loan Agent”), and the Company, pursuant to which the Second Lien Term Loan Lenders extended the Company a $26.8 million second lien term loan facility (the “Successor Second Lien Term Loan”); • Issued 7,900,000 shares of common stock of the reorganized Company to the holders of the Company’s 12.5%/10.0% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”); • Issued 100,000 shares of common stock of the reorganized Company to the Affected Classes (as defined in the Plan); • Issued 3,695,580 shares of common stock of the reorganized Company to holders of Supporting Noteholder Term Loan Claims (as defined in the Plan) and to the Credit Agreement Lenders for the Exit Financing Commitment Fee (as defined in the Plan); • Issued 118,137 warrants to purchase common stock of the reorganized Company, with an exercise price of $39.82 per share and an exercise term expiring seven years from the Effective Date; • Entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain holders of the reorganized Company’s common stock party thereto; • Entered into a Warrant Agreement with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, the Company’s transfer agent; • Paid in full in cash all administrative expense claims, priority tax claims, priority claims, and debtor in possession revolving credit facility claims; • Paid all undisputed, non-contingent customer, vendor, or other obligations not specifically compromised under the Plan; and • Assumed Mark D. Johnsrud’s, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated April 28, 2017 and entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Joseph M. Crabb, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer. On the Effective Date, all of the following agreements, and all outstanding interests and obligations thereunder, were terminated: • Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended through the Fourteenth Amendment thereto, dated as of February 3, 2014, by and among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), the lenders named therein, and the Company (the “Predecessor Revolving Facility”); • Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended through the Ninth Amendment thereto, dated as of April 15, 2016, by and among Wilmington, the lenders named therein, and the Company (the “Predecessor Term Loan”); • Indenture governing the Company’s 2018 Notes, dated April 10, 2012, among the Company, its subsidiaries, and The Bank of New York Mellon, N.A.; • Indenture governing the Company’s 2021 Notes, dated April 15, 2016, among the Company, Wilmington, and the guarantors party thereto; • Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2017 and effective as of May 3, 2017, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo, and other agents party thereto; and • Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2017, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and Wilmington. In addition, on the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, (i) all shares of the Company’s pre-Effective Date common stock and all other previously issued and outstanding equity interests in the Company, and any rights of any holder in respect thereof, were canceled and discharged and (ii) all agreements, instruments, and other documents evidencing, relating to or connected with the Company’s pre-Effective Date common stock and all other previously issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company, and any rights of any holder in respect thereof, were canceled and discharged and of no further force or effect. As a result of the cancellation of the Company’s pre-Effective Date common stock on the Effective Date, the Company’s pre-Effective Date common stock ceased trading on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbol “NESCQ.” On October 12, 2017, the Company’s post-Effective Date common stock was listed and began trading on the NYSE American Stock Exchange under the symbol “NES.” See “Risks Related to our Common Stock” on page 58 of this Quarterly Report. The foregoing is a summary of the substantive provisions of the Plan and the transactions related to and contemplated thereunder and is not intended to be a complete description of, or a substitute for, a full and complete reading of, the Plan and the other documents referred to above. Fresh Start Accounting In connection with our emergence from chapter 11 on the Effective Date, we applied the provisions of fresh start accounting, pursuant to FASB ASC 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”), to our consolidated financial statements. We qualified for fresh start accounting as (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity and (ii) the reorganization value of our assets immediately prior to confirmation was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. ASC 852 requires that fresh start accounting be applied when the Bankruptcy Court enters the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan, or as of a later date when all material conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the Plan are resolved, which for us was August 7, 2017. We elected to apply fresh start accounting effective July 31, 2017, to coincide with the timing of our normal accounting period close. We evaluated the events between July 31, 2017 and August 7, 2017 and concluded that the use of an accounting convenience date of July 31, 2017 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. The implementation of the Plan and the application of fresh start accounting materially changed the carrying amounts and classifications reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and resulted in a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result, the financial statements after July 31, 2017 are not comparable with the financial statements on and prior to July 31, 2017. Fresh start accounting reflects the value of the Successor Company as determined in the confirmed Plan. Under fresh start accounting, asset values are remeasured and allocated based on their respective fair values in conformity with the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations . Liabilities existing as of the Effective Date, other than deferred taxes, were recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be paid using appropriate risk adjusted interest rates. Deferred taxes were determined in conformity with applicable accounting standards. Predecessor accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortization, and accumulated deficit were eliminated. Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company’s assets before considering liabilities. The excess reorganization value over the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets is reported as goodwill. Reorganization Value Under ASC 852, the Successor Company must determine a value to be assigned to the equity of the emerging company as of the date of adoption of fresh start accounting. To facilitate this calculation, we estimated the enterprise value of the Successor Company by relying equally on a discounted cash flow (or “DCF”) analysis under the income approach and the guideline public company method under the market approach. Enterprise value represents the fair value of an entity’s interest-bearing debt and stockholders’ equity. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the DCF method, we established an estimate of future cash flows for the period ranging from 2017 to 2023 and discounted the estimated future cash flows to present value. The expected cash flows for the period 2017 to 2021 were based on the financial projections and assumptions utilized in the disclosure statement. The expected cash flows for the period 2022 to 2023 were derived from earnings forecasts and assumptions regarding growth and margin projections, as applicable. A terminal value was included based on the cash flow of the final year of the forecast period. The discount rate of 11.3% was estimated based on an after-tax weighted average cost of capital (or “WACC”) reflecting the rate of return that would be expected by a market participant. The WACC also takes into consideration a company specific risk premium reflecting the risk associated with the overall uncertainty of the financial projections used to estimate future cash flows. The guideline public company analysis identified a group of comparable companies that have operating and financial characteristics comparable in certain respects to us, including comparable lines of business, business risks and market presence. Under this methodology, certain financial multiples and ratios that measure financial performance and value are calculated for each se lected company and then compared to the implied multiples from the DCF analysis. We considered enterprise value as a multiple of each selected company for which there was publicly available earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (or “EBITDA”). In the disclosure statement associated with the Plan, which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, we estimated a range of enterprise values between $270.0 million and $335.0 million , with a midpoint of $302.5 million . We deemed it appropriate to use the midpoint between the low end and high end of the range to determine the final enterprise value of $302.5 million utilized for fresh start accounting. The estimated enterprise value and the equity value are highly dependent on the achievement of the future financial results contemplated in the projections that were set forth in the Plan. The estimates and assumptions made in the valuation are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. The primary assumptions for which there is a reasonable possibility of occurrence of a variation that would have significantly affected the reorganization value include the assumptions regarding revenue growth, operating expenses, the amount and timing of capital expenditures and the discount rate utilized. The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the estimated fair value of the Successor common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, as of the Effective Date: Enterprise value $ 302,500 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash 14,998 Plus: Non-operating assets 14,400 Fair value of invested capital 331,898 Less: Fair value of First and Second Lien Term Loans (36,053 ) Less: Fair value of capital leases (5,654 ) Shareholders’ equity of Successor Company $ 290,191 Shares outstanding of Successor Company 11,696 Implied per share value $ 24.81 The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the estimated reorganization value as of the Effective Date: Enterprise value $ 302,500 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash 14,998 Plus: Other non-operating assets 14,400 Fair value of invested capital 331,898 Plus: Current liabilities, excluding current portion of long-term debt 32,011 Plus: Non-current liabilities, excluding long-term debt 6,441 Reorganization value of Successor Assets $ 370,350 Warrants Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, we issued to the holders of the 2018 Notes and holders of certain claims relating to the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases 118,137 warrants with an exercise price of $39.82 and a term expiring seven years from the Effective Date. E ach warrant is exercisable for one share of our common stock, par value $0.01 . The warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities on the “Derivative warrant liability” line in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At issuance, the warrants were recorded at fair value, which was computed using a Monte Carlo simulation model (Level 3). Future changes in these factors could have a significant impact on the computed fair value of the derivative warrant liability. As such, we expect future changes in the fair value of the warrants could vary significantly from quarter to quarter. See Note 8 and Note 11 for further discussion on the warrants and the assumptions used to calculate the fair value. Personal Property To estimate the fair value of personal property, such as machinery and equipment, we utilized a combination of the cost and market approaches. For assets valued via the cost approach, we applied trend indices from published sources to estimate reproduction cost if the asset was new. We then assigned valuation lives specific to each category of asset based on industry sources and our experience to assess physical and functional depreciation. For the assets valued via the market approach, such as trucks and tanks, we researched market values from published sources and reviewed comparable sales data and sales offers received to estimate fair value. Real Property The real property consists of land, buildings, and disposal wells . Real property was valued considering the three generally accepted approaches to value: cost, sales comparison and income capitalization. Due to the special-use nature of most of the real property, we relied on the cost and sales comparison approaches. To estimate the replacement cost if the real property was new and determine the economic life of the improvements, we utilized data provided by a valuation service. Depreciation estimates of the improvements were based on information obtained during physical inspections, discussions with building engineers, and general observations of the improvements’ condition. Land was valued as if it were vacant and available through application of the sales comparison approach. For commercial office properties that have leasing potential, we also utilized the income approach to estimate the values. Comparable rents and listing properties were researched an analyzed and adjusted to estimate market rents with the values derived from direct capitalization analysis. Intangible Assets The intangible assets were valued with a combination of the income and cost approach. In order to estimate the fair value of the customer relationships, we determined that the excess earnings method under the income approach was appropriate since the inherent value of this intangible asset lies in its ability to generate current and future income, as well as the fact that identifiable revenue streams could be estimated. We utilized the cost approach to value the other intangibles such the assembled workforce and disposal well permits. Consolidated Statement of Financial Position The following fresh start condensed consolidated balance sheet presents the implementation of the Plan and adoption of fresh start accounting as of July 31, 2017. The “Reorganization Adjustments” have been recorded within the condensed consolidated balance sheet to reflect the effects of the Plan, including discharge of liabilities subject to compromise.

Reorganizations [Abstract]
Fresh Start Accounting	Emergence from Chapter 11 Reorganization On May 1, 2017, the Nuverra Parties filed voluntary petitions under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court to pursue the Plan. On July 25, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan. On July 26, 2017, David Hargreaves, an individual holder of our pre-Effective Date 9.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”), appealed the Confirmation Order to the District Court for the District of Delaware (the “District Court”) and filed a motion for a stay pending appeal from the District Court. On August 3, 2017, the District Court entered an order denying the motion for a stay pending appeal. Notwithstanding the denial of the motion for stay pending appeal, Hargreaves’ appeal remains pending in the District Court. The Nuverra Parties emerged from the bankruptcy proceedings on the Effective Date. Although the Nuverra Parties emerged from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, the bankruptcy cases will remain pending until closed by the Bankruptcy Court. On the Effective Date, the Company: • Adopted a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Third Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company; • Appointed three new members to the Company’s Board of Directors to replace the directors of the Company who were deemed to have resigned on the Effective Date; • Entered into a new $45.0 million First Lien Credit Agreement by and among the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement Lenders”), ACF FinCo I, LP, as administrative agent (“Credit Agreement Agent”), and the Company, pursuant to which the Credit Agreement Lenders agreed to extend the Company a $30.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Successor Revolving Facility”) and a $15.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Successor First Lien Term Loan”); • Entered into a new $26.8 million Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement by and among the lenders party thereto (the “Second Lien Term Loan Lenders”), Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“Wilmington”), as administrative agent (the “Second Lien Term Loan Agent”), and the Company, pursuant to which the Second Lien Term Loan Lenders extended the Company a $26.8 million second lien term loan facility (the “Successor Second Lien Term Loan”); • Issued 7,900,000 shares of common stock of the reorganized Company to the holders of the Company’s 12.5%/10.0% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”); • Issued 100,000 shares of common stock of the reorganized Company to the Affected Classes (as defined in the Plan); • Issued 3,695,580 shares of common stock of the reorganized Company to holders of Supporting Noteholder Term Loan Claims (as defined in the Plan) and to the Credit Agreement Lenders for the Exit Financing Commitment Fee (as defined in the Plan); • Issued 118,137 warrants to purchase common stock of the reorganized Company, with an exercise price of $39.82 per share and an exercise term expiring seven years from the Effective Date; • Entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain holders of the reorganized Company’s common stock party thereto; • Entered into a Warrant Agreement with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, the Company’s transfer agent; • Paid in full in cash all administrative expense claims, priority tax claims, priority claims, and debtor in possession revolving credit facility claims; • Paid all undisputed, non-contingent customer, vendor, or other obligations not specifically compromised under the Plan; and • Assumed Mark D. Johnsrud’s, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated April 28, 2017 and entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Joseph M. Crabb, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer. On the Effective Date, all of the following agreements, and all outstanding interests and obligations thereunder, were terminated: • Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended through the Fourteenth Amendment thereto, dated as of February 3, 2014, by and among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), the lenders named therein, and the Company (the “Predecessor Revolving Facility”); • Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended through the Ninth Amendment thereto, dated as of April 15, 2016, by and among Wilmington, the lenders named therein, and the Company (the “Predecessor Term Loan”); • Indenture governing the Company’s 2018 Notes, dated April 10, 2012, among the Company, its subsidiaries, and The Bank of New York Mellon, N.A.; • Indenture governing the Company’s 2021 Notes, dated April 15, 2016, among the Company, Wilmington, and the guarantors party thereto; • Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2017 and effective as of May 3, 2017, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo, and other agents party thereto; and • Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2017, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and Wilmington. In addition, on the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, (i) all shares of the Company’s pre-Effective Date common stock and all other previously issued and outstanding equity interests in the Company, and any rights of any holder in respect thereof, were canceled and discharged and (ii) all agreements, instruments, and other documents evidencing, relating to or connected with the Company’s pre-Effective Date common stock and all other previously issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company, and any rights of any holder in respect thereof, were canceled and discharged and of no further force or effect. As a result of the cancellation of the Company’s pre-Effective Date common stock on the Effective Date, the Company’s pre-Effective Date common stock ceased trading on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbol “NESCQ.” On October 12, 2017, the Company’s post-Effective Date common stock was listed and began trading on the NYSE American Stock Exchange under the symbol “NES.” See “Risks Related to our Common Stock” on page 58 of this Quarterly Report. The foregoing is a summary of the substantive provisions of the Plan and the transactions related to and contemplated thereunder and is not intended to be a complete description of, or a substitute for, a full and complete reading of, the Plan and the other documents referred to above. Fresh Start Accounting In connection with our emergence from chapter 11 on the Effective Date, we applied the provisions of fresh start accounting, pursuant to FASB ASC 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”), to our consolidated financial statements. We qualified for fresh start accounting as (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity and (ii) the reorganization value of our assets immediately prior to confirmation was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. ASC 852 requires that fresh start accounting be applied when the Bankruptcy Court enters the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan, or as of a later date when all material conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the Plan are resolved, which for us was August 7, 2017. We elected to apply fresh start accounting effective July 31, 2017, to coincide with the timing of our normal accounting period close. We evaluated the events between July 31, 2017 and August 7, 2017 and concluded that the use of an accounting convenience date of July 31, 2017 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. The implementation of the Plan and the application of fresh start accounting materially changed the carrying amounts and classifications reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and resulted in a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result, the financial statements after July 31, 2017 are not comparable with the financial statements on and prior to July 31, 2017. Fresh start accounting reflects the value of the Successor Company as determined in the confirmed Plan. Under fresh start accounting, asset values are remeasured and allocated based on their respective fair values in conformity with the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations . Liabilities existing as of the Effective Date, other than deferred taxes, were recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be paid using appropriate risk adjusted interest rates. Deferred taxes were determined in conformity with applicable accounting standards. Predecessor accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortization, and accumulated deficit were eliminated. Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company’s assets before considering liabilities. The excess reorganization value over the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets is reported as goodwill. Reorganization Value Under ASC 852, the Successor Company must determine a value to be assigned to the equity of the emerging company as of the date of adoption of fresh start accounting. To facilitate this calculation, we estimated the enterprise value of the Successor Company by relying equally on a discounted cash flow (or “DCF”) analysis under the income approach and the guideline public company method under the market approach. Enterprise value represents the fair value of an entity’s interest-bearing debt and stockholders’ equity. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the DCF method, we established an estimate of future cash flows for the period ranging from 2017 to 2023 and discounted the estimated future cash flows to present value. The expected cash flows for the period 2017 to 2021 were based on the financial projections and assumptions utilized in the disclosure statement. The expected cash flows for the period 2022 to 2023 were derived from earnings forecasts and assumptions regarding growth and margin projections, as applicable. A terminal value was included based on the cash flow of the final year of the forecast period. The discount rate of 11.3% was estimated based on an after-tax weighted average cost of capital (or “WACC”) reflecting the rate of return that would be expected by a market participant. The WACC also takes into consideration a company specific risk premium reflecting the risk associated with the overall uncertainty of the financial projections used to estimate future cash flows. The guideline public company analysis identified a group of comparable companies that have operating and financial characteristics comparable in certain respects to us, including comparable lines of business, business risks and market presence. Under this methodology, certain financial multiples and ratios that measure financial performance and value are calculated for each se lected company and then compared to the implied multiples from the DCF analysis. We considered enterprise value as a multiple of each selected company for which there was publicly available earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (or “EBITDA”). In the disclosure statement associated with the Plan, which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, we estimated a range of enterprise values between $270.0 million and $335.0 million , with a midpoint of $302.5 million . We deemed it appropriate to use the midpoint between the low end and high end of the range to determine the final enterprise value of $302.5 million utilized for fresh start accounting. The estimated enterprise value and the equity value are highly dependent on the achievement of the future financial results contemplated in the projections that were set forth in the Plan. The estimates and assumptions made in the valuation are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. The primary assumptions for which there is a reasonable possibility of occurrence of a variation that would have significantly affected the reorganization value include the assumptions regarding revenue growth, operating expenses, the amount and timing of capital expenditures and the discount rate utilized. The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the estimated fair value of the Successor common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, as of the Effective Date: Enterprise value $ 302,500 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash 14,998 Plus: Non-operating assets 14,400 Fair value of invested capital 331,898 Less: Fair value of First and Second Lien Term Loans (36,053 ) Less: Fair value of capital leases (5,654 ) Shareholders’ equity of Successor Company $ 290,191 Shares outstanding of Successor Company 11,696 Implied per share value $ 24.81 The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the estimated reorganization value as of the Effective Date: Enterprise value $ 302,500 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash 14,998 Plus: Other non-operating assets 14,400 Fair value of invested capital 331,898 Plus: Current liabilities, excluding current portion of long-term debt 32,011 Plus: Non-current liabilities, excluding long-term debt 6,441 Reorganization value of Successor Assets $ 370,350 Warrants Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, we issued to the holders of the 2018 Notes and holders of certain claims relating to the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases 118,137 warrants with an exercise price of $39.82 and a term expiring seven years from the Effective Date. E ach warrant is exercisable for one share of our common stock, par value $0.01 . The warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities on the “Derivative warrant liability” line in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At issuance, the warrants were recorded at fair value, which was computed using a Monte Carlo simulation model (Level 3). Future changes in these factors could have a significant impact on the computed fair value of the derivative warrant liability. As such, we expect future changes in the fair value of the warrants could vary significantly from quarter to quarter. See Note 8 and Note 11 for further discussion on the warrants and the assumptions used to calculate the fair value. Personal Property To estimate the fair value of personal property, such as machinery and equipment, we utilized a combination of the cost and market approaches. For assets valued via the cost approach, we applied trend indices from published sources to estimate reproduction cost if the asset was new. We then assigned valuation lives specific to each category of asset based on industry sources and our experience to assess physical and functional depreciation. For the assets valued via the market approach, such as trucks and tanks, we researched market values from published sources and reviewed comparable sales data and sales offers received to estimate fair value. Real Property The real property consists of land, buildings, and disposal wells . Real property was valued considering the three generally accepted approaches to value: cost, sales comparison and income capitalization. Due to the special-use nature of most of the real property, we relied on the cost and sales comparison approaches. To estimate the replacement cost if the real property was new and determine the economic life of the improvements, we utilized data provided by a valuation service. Depreciation estimates of the improvements were based on information obtained during physical inspections, discussions with building engineers, and general observations of the improvements’ condition. Land was valued as if it were vacant and available through application of the sales comparison approach. For commercial office properties that have leasing potential, we also utilized the income approach to estimate the values. Comparable rents and listing properties were researched an analyzed and adjusted to estimate market rents with the values derived from direct capitalization analysis. Intangible Assets The intangible assets were valued with a combination of the income and cost approach. In order to estimate the fair value of the customer relationships, we determined that the excess earnings method under the income approach was appropriate since the inherent value of this intangible asset lies in its ability to generate current and future income, as well as the fact that identifiable revenue streams could be estimated. We utilized the cost approach to value the other intangibles such the assembled workforce and disposal well permits.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Common Share	Earnings Per Common Share Basic and diluted loss per common share from continuing operations, basic and diluted loss per common share from discontinued operations and net loss per basic and diluted common share have been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the two months ended September 30, 2017, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , no shares of common stock underlying stock options, restricted stock, or warrants were included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) from continuing operations because the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive based on the net losses from continuing operations reported for those periods. Accordingly, for the two months ended September 30, 2017, and the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 , no shares of common stock underlying stock options, restricted stock, or warrants were included in the computations of diluted EPS from income from discontinued operations or diluted EPS from net loss per common share, because such shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS from continuing operations for those periods. The following tables present the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share, as well as the potentially dilutive stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the periods presented: Successor Predecessor Two Months Ended One Month Ended Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 July 31, 2017 September 30, 2016 Numerator: Net (loss) income $ (16,993 ) $ 224,160 $ (38,396 ) Denominator: Weighted average shares—basic 11,696 150,951 129,669 Common stock equivalents — 6,443 — Weighted average shares—diluted 11,696 157,394 129,669 Earnings per common share: Net (loss) income per basic common share $ (1.45 ) $ 1.48 $ (0.30 ) Net (loss) income per diluted common share $ (1.45 ) $ 1.42 $ (0.30 ) Dilutive stock-based awards excluded: Stock options — — — Restricted stock awards and units — — — Warrants — — 21,304 Total — — 21,304 Anti-dilutive stock-based awards excluded: 828 576 880 Successor Predecessor Two Months Ended Seven Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 July 31, 2017 September 30, 2016 Numerator: (Loss) income from continuing operations $ (16,993 ) $ 168,611 (106,305 ) Loss from discontinued operations — — (1,235 ) Net (loss) income $ (16,993 ) $ 168,611 $ (107,540 ) Denominator: Weighted average shares—basic 11,696 150,940 75,291 Common stock equivalents — 23,364 — Weighted average shares—diluted 11,696 174,304 75,291 Earnings per common share: Basic (loss) income from continuing operations $ (1.45 ) $ 1.12 $ (1.41 ) Basic loss from discontinued operations — — (0.02 ) Net (loss) income per basic common share $ (1.45 ) $ 1.12 $ (1.43 ) Diluted (loss) income from continuing operations $ (1.45 ) $ 0.97 $ (1.41 ) Diluted loss from discontinued operations — — (0.02 ) Net (loss) income per diluted common share $ (1.45 ) $ 0.97 $ (1.43 ) Dilutive stock-based awards excluded: Stock options — — — Restricted stock awards and units — — — Warrants — — 10,065 Total — — 10,065 Anti-dilutive stock-based awards excluded: 828 593 987

Assets Held for Sale and Impair

Assets Held for Sale and Impairment	9 Months Ended

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Assets Held for Sale and Impairment	Assets Held for Sale and Impairment Assets Held for Sale During the two months ended September 30, 2017 , management approved plans to sell certain underutilized assets located in the Rocky Mountain and Southern divisions. We began to actively market these assets, which we expect to sell within one year. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the assets were recorded at the lower of net book value or fair value less costs to sell. Upon reclassification we ceased to recognize depreciation expense on the assets. As the fair value of the assets reclassified as held for sale during the quarter was lower than its net book value, an impairment charge of $2.4 million was recognized during the two months ended September 30, 2017, and is included in “Impairment of long-lived assets” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Of the $2.4 million recorded during the two months ended September 30, 2017, $2.2 million related to the Rocky Mountain division and $0.2 million related to the Southern division. As the AWS Note settlement, which was referenced in Note 4 and is discussed in more detail in Note 15 , was not consummated as of September 30, 2017, approximately $3.9 million of assets for AWS are included in the assets held for sale balance as of September 30, 2017. We expect to complete the settlement, including the transfer of assets, during the fourth quarter of 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, management approved plans to sell certain assets located in both the Northeast and Southern divisions, including trucks, tanks, and a parcel of land, which we expected to sell within one year. The assets were recorded at the lower of net book value or fair value less costs to sell which resulted in an impairment charge of $2.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, and is included in “Impairment of long-lived assets” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The $2.1 million recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2016 related to the Southern division. As a result of classifying assets as held for sale in 2016, we recorded total impairment charges of $4.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which included $2.7 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2016, with $2.4 million for the Northeast division and $0.3 million for the Southern division. The fair value of the assets was measured using third party quoted prices for similar assets (Level 3). Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Due to sales of underutilized or non-core assets as a result of lower oil prices and decreased activities by our customers, in addition to lower capital spending over the last several years, there were indicators that the carrying value of our assets may not be recoverable during the three months ended September 30, 2016. There were no impairment indicators as of September 30, 2017. Our impairment review during the three months ended September 30, 2016 concluded that the carrying value of the Haynesville and Marcellus asset groups were not recoverable as the carrying value exceeded our estimate of future undiscounted cash flows for these two basins. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge for the Marcellus asset group (Northeast division) of $5.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as the carrying value exceeded fair value. No impairment charge was necessary for the Haynesville asset group as the fair value was greater than the carrying value. The fair value of our asset groups was determined primarily using the cost and market approaches (Level 3). If the decrease in demand for our services continues for a prolonged period of time, or if we make downward adjustments to our projections, our actual cash flows could be less than our estimated cash flows, which could result in future impairment charges for long-lived assets.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Measurements Fair value represents an exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: • Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 — Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilized to determine such fair value included significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) and were as follows: Successor Predecessor September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Derivative warrant liability $ 857 $ 4,298 Contingent consideration 500 8,500 Derivative Warrant Liability Our derivative warrant liability is adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value at each quarter end, with any decrease or increase in the estimated fair value recorded in “Other income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We used Level 3 inputs for the valuation methodology of the derivative liabilities. The estimated fair values were computed using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The key inputs in determining our derivative warrant liability typically includes our stock price, the volatility of our stock price, and the risk free interest rate. Future changes in these factors could have a significant impact on the computed fair value of the derivative warrant liability. As such, we expect future changes in the fair value of the warrants could vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Upon emergence from chapter 11 on the Effective Date, all existing warrants outstanding under the Predecessor Company were canceled under the Plan. Additionally, on the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan we issued to the holders of the 2018 Notes and holders of certain claims relating to the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases 118,137 warrants with an exercise price of $39.82 and a term expiring seven years from the Effective Date. E ach warrant is exercisable for one share of our common stock, par value $0.01 . The warrants issued under the Successor Company were also determined to be derivative liabilities. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the “Derivative warrant liability” presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Successor Predecessor September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Balance at beginning of period $ — $ — Issuance of warrants 717 7,838 Exercise of warrants — (229 ) Adjustments to estimated fair value 140 (3,311 ) Balance at end of period $ 857 $ 4,298 Contingent Consideration We are liable for contingent consideration payments in connection with an acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration obligation was determined using a probability-weighted income approach at the acquisition date and is revalued at each reporting date or more frequently if circumstances dictate based on changes in the discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of the revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the performance measurements upon which the obligation is based. We had previously determined that it would be unlikely that the required permits and certificates necessary for the issuance of a second special waste disposal permit to Ideal would be issued within one year, and as such presented the $8.5 million contingent consideration liability related to the Ideal acquisition as “Long-term contingent consideration” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. On June 28, 2017, certain of the Nuverra Parties filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking authorization to resolve unsecured claims related to the $8.5 million contingent consideration from the Ideal acquisition (the “Ideal Settlement”). On July 11, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Ideal Settlement. Pursuant to the approved settlement terms, the $8.5 million contingent claim was replaced with an obligation on the part of the applicable Nuverra Party to transfer $0.5 million to the counterparties to the Ideal Settlement upon emergence from chapter 11, and $0.5 million when the Ideal Settlement counterparties deliver the required permits and certificates necessary for the issuance of the second special waste disposal permit. The $0.5 million due upon emergence from chapter 11 was paid during the two months ended September 30, 2017. The remaining $0.5 million due when the counterparties deliver the required permits and certificates necessary for the issuance of the second special waste disposal permit has been classified as current, as these permits and certificates are expected to be received within one year. Changes to the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded as “Other (expense) income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which are referred to as Level 3 inputs. Changes to contingent consideration obligations during the two months ended September 30, 2017, seven months ended July 31, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows: Successor Predecessor Two Months Ended Seven Months Ended Year Ended September 30, 2017 July 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Balance at beginning of period $ 1,000 $ 8,500 $ 8,628 Cash payments (500 ) — — Changes in fair value of contingent consideration, net — — (128 ) Write-off contingent consideration due to settlement in chapter 11 — (7,500 ) — Balance at end of period 500 1,000 8,500 Less: current portion (500 ) (1,000 ) — Long-term contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 8,500

(b) The interest rate presented represents the interest rate on the $30.0 million Successor Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2017 . (c) The interest rate presented represents the coupon rate on the Predecessor Company's 2018 Notes, excluding the effects of deferred financing costs, original issue discounts and original issue premiums. Including the impact of these items, the effective interest rate on the 2018 Notes is approximately 11.0% . Interest payments were due semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 2018 Notes were canceled on the Effective Date. (d) The interest rate presented represents the current coupon rate on the Predecessor Company's 2021 Notes, excluding the effects of deferred financing costs, original issue discounts and original issue premiums. Including the impact of these items, the effective interest rate on the 2021 Notes is approximately 12.4% . Interest was previously paid in kind semi-annually by increasing the principal amount payable and due at maturity and/or in cash as follows: interest payable on October 15, 2016 will be paid in kind at an annual rate of 12.5% ; interest payable after October 15, 2016 but on or before April 15, 2018 will be paid at a rate of 10% with 50% in kind and 50% in cash; interest payable after April 15, 2018 will be paid in cash at a rate of 10% until maturity. The 2021 Notes were canceled on the Effective Date. (e) The Predecessor Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of 13% compounded monthly and which was paid in kind by increasing the principal amount payable thereunder. Principal including the paid in kind interest was due April 15, 2018. The Predecessor Term Loan was canceled on the Effective Date. (f) Vehicle financings consist of capital lease arrangements related to fleet purchases with a weighted-average annual interest rate of approximately 4.30% , which mature in varying installments between 2017 and 2020 . Capital lease obligations were $4.4 million and $7.7 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. (g) The note payable balance as of December 31, 2016 represented the remaining amount due from acquiring the remaining interest of our former partner in AWS in 2015. Principal and interest payments were due in equal quarterly installments through April 2019. In connection with our chapter 11 filing, the note payable to AWS was settled. See Note 4 and Note 15 for discussion on the AWS Note payable settlement. (h) Our Successor Revolving Facility, Successor First Lien Term Loan, Successor Second Lien Term Loan, and vehicle financings bear interest at rates commensurate with market rates and therefore their respective carrying values approximate fair value. (i) The debt discount for issuance of warrants represented the initial fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debt restructuring that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2016, which was amortized through interest expense over the term of the 2021 Notes and the Predecessor Term Loan. As described further in Note 11 , these warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities. Upon emergence from chapter 11 on the Effective Date, all existing warrants outstanding under the Predecessor Company were canceled under the Plan. (j) Interest on the Successor First Lien Term Loan accrues at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 7.25% . Interest on the Successor Second Lien Term Loan accrues at both an annual rate equal to 11.0% , with 5.5% payable in cash and 5.5% payable in kind prior to February 7, 2018 (or such later date as the Company may select in accordance with terms of the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement) and on or after February 7, 2018 (or such later date), at an annual rate equal to 11.0% , payable in cash, in arrears, on the first day of each month. For a discussion of material changes and developments in our debt and its principal terms, see our discussion below. Indebtedness Prior to our Restructuring, we were highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs resulted from debt service requirements and from funding our costs of operations and capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2017 , we had $40.2 million of indebtedness outstanding, consisting of $14.8 million under the Successor First Lien Term Loan, $21.0 million under the Successor Second Lien Term Loan, and $4.4 million of capital leases for vehicle financings. In connection with the our emergence from the chapter 11 cases, all of the following agreements, and all outstanding interests and obligations thereunder, were terminated on the Effective Date: • Predecessor Revolving Facility; • Predecessor Term Loan; • Indenture governing the Company’s 2018 Notes, dated April 10, 2012, among the Company, its subsidiaries, and The Bank of New York Mellon, N.A.; • Indenture governing the Company’s 2021 Notes, dated April 15, 2016, among the Company, Wilmington, and the guarantors party thereto; • Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2017 and effective as of May 3, 2017, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo, and other agents party thereto; and • Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2017, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and Wilmington. The termination of the 2018 Notes and the 2021 Notes, and the indentures under which they were issued, resulted in the Company becoming exempt from the reporting requirements under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC with respect to the 2018 Notes and 2021 Notes. See Note 19 for further details. First Lien Credit Agreements On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Company entered into a $45.0 million First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Credit Agreement Lenders, the Credit Agreement Agent, and the Company. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement Lenders agreed to extend to the Company the Successor Revolving Facility and the Successor First Lien Term Loan (i) to repay obligations outstanding under the Predecessor Revolving Facility and debtor in possession asset based lending facility, (ii) to make certain payments as provided in the Plan, (iii) to pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Plan, and (iv) for working capital, transaction expenses, and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature that provides for an increase in availability of up to an additional $20.0 million , subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. The Successor Revolving Facility and the Successor First Lien Term Loan mature on August 7, 2020, at which time the Company must repay the outstanding principal amount of the Successor Revolving Facility and the Successor First Lien Term Loan, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon. The Successor Revolving Facility may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of the Credit Agreement. The principal amount of the Successor First Lien Term Loan shall be repaid in installments beginning on September 1, 2017 and the first day of each calendar month thereafter prior to maturity. Interest on the Successor Revolving Facility accrues at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 5.25% , and interest on the Successor First Lien Term Loan accrues at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 7.25% ; however, if there is an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Credit Agreement Agent, in its sole discretion, may increase the applicable interest rate at a per annum rate equal to three percentage points above the annual rate otherwise applicable thereunder. The Credit Agreement also contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, as well as other terms and conditions that are customary for revolving credit facilities and term loans of this type. Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Company also entered into a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Term Loan Agreement”) by and among the Second Lien Term Loan Lenders, the Second Lien Term Loan Agent, and the Company. Pursuant to the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, the Second Lien Term Loan Lenders agreed to extend to the Company the Successor Second Lien Term Loan, of which $21.1 million was advanced on the Effective Date and up to an additional $5.7 million (“Delayed Draw Term Loan”) is available at the request of the Company after the closing date subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions specified in the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement. The Second Lien Term Loan Lenders extended the Successor Second Lien Term Loan, among other things, (i) to repay obligations outstanding under the Predecessor Revolving Facility and debtor in possession asset based revolving facility, (ii) to make certain payments as provided in the Plan, (iii) to pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Plan, and (iv) for working capital, transaction expenses and other general corporate purposes. The Successor Second Lien Term Loan matures on February 7, 2021, at which time the Company must repay all outstanding obligations under the Successor Second Lien Term Loan. The principal amount of the Successor Second Lien Term Loan shall be repaid in installments beginning on October 1, 2017, and the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter prior to maturity, with such amount to be proportionally increased as the result of the incurrence of a Delayed Draw Term Loan. Interest on the Successor Second Lien Term Loan accrues at an annual rate equal to 11.0% , with 5.5% payable in cash and 5.5% payable in kind prior to February 7, 2018 (or such later date as the Company may select in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement) and, on or after February 7, 2018 (or such later date), at an annual rate equal to 11.0% , payable in cash, in arrears, on the first day of each month. However, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) due to a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy filing, automatically, or any other Event of Default, at the election of the Second Lien Term Loan Agent, the Successor Second Lien Term Loan and all obligations thereunder shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to three percentage points above the annual rate otherwise applicable thereunder. The Credit Agreement also contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, as well as other terms and conditions that are customary for term loans of this type. Security Agreements On August 7, 2017, in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into (i) a First Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement by and among the Company, the other grantors party thereto, and the Credit Agreement Agent to grant a first lien security interest in all of such grantor’s as collateral provided therein to secure the obligations under the Credit Agreement and (ii) a First Lien Trademark Security Agreement, by and among the Company, the other grantors party thereto, and the Credit Agreement Agent to grant a first lien security interest in certain trademark collateral as provided therein to secure obligations under the Credit Agreement. On August 7, 2017, in connection with the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, the Company entered into (i) a Second Lien Guaranty and Security Agreement by and among the Company, the other grantors party thereto, and the Second Lien Term Loan Agent to grant a second lien security interest in all of such grantor’s collateral as provided therein to secure the obligations under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement and (ii) a Second Lien Trademark Security Agreement, by and among the Company, the other grantors party thereto, and the Second Lien Term Loan Agent to grant a second lien security interest in certain trademark collateral as provided therein to secure obligations under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement. Intercreditor Agreement and Intercompany Subordination Agreement On August 7, 2017, in connection with the Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, the Company acknowledged the terms and conditions under a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), dated as of August 7, 2017, by and among the Credit Agreement Agent and the Second Lien Term Loan Agent to set forth the terms and conditions of the relationship between the lenders and the secured parties under the Credit Agreement and Second Lien Term Loan Agreement. On August 7, 2017, the Company entered into an Intercompany Subordination Agreement (the “Intercompany Agreement”), dated as of August 7, 2017, by and among the Company and the other obligors named therein to agree to subordinate its indebtedness to the Credit Agreement Lenders and the Second Lien Term Loan Lenders.

Derivative Warrants

Equity [Abstract]
Derivative Warrants	Derivative Warrants Predecessor Warrants During the year ended December 31, 2016, we issued 26.4 million warrants, with 17.5 million warrants for the exchange of 2018 Notes for new 2021 Notes, 0.1 million warrants for the exchange of 2018 Notes for common stock, and 8.8 million warrants to the lenders under the Predecessor Term Loan. All warrants were issued with an exercise price of $0.01 and have a term of ten years. Upon emergence from chapter 11 on the Effective Date, all existing warrants outstanding under the Predecessor Company were canceled under the Plan. The following table shows the Predecessor warrant activity for the seven months ended July 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 : Predecessor Seven Months Ended Year Ended July 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Outstanding at the beginning of the period 25,283 — Issued — 26,400 Exercised (16 ) (1,117 ) Canceled due to emergence from chapter 11 (25,267 ) — Outstanding at the end of the period — 25,283 Successor Warrants Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, we issued to the holders of the 2018 Notes and holders of certain claims relating to the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases 118,137 warrants with an exercise price of $39.82 and a term expiring seven years from the Effective Date. E ach warrant is exercisable for one share of our common stock, par value $0.01 . The following table shows the Successor warrant activity for the two months ended September 30, 2017 : Successor Two Months Ended September 30, 2017 Outstanding at the beginning of the period — Issued 118 Exercised — Outstanding at the end of the period 118 Fair Value of Warrants We accounted for warrants in accordance with the accounting guidance for derivatives, which sets forth a two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock which would qualify such financial instruments for a scope exception. This scope exception specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative financial instrument would not be considered as such if the contract is both (i) indexed to the entity’s own stock and (ii) classified in the shareholders’ equity section of the entity’s balance sheet. We determined that the Predecessor warrants were ineligible for equity classification due to the anti-dilution provisions in the contract, and the Successor warrants were ineligible for equity classification as the warrants are not indexed to our common stock. As such, the warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities at fair value on the “Derivative warrant liability” line in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The warrants are classified as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as they could be exercised by the holders at any time. As discussed previously in Note 8 , the fair value of the derivative warrant liability was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of issue and is re-measured at each quarter end until expiration or exercise of the underlying warrants with the resulting fair value adjustment recorded in “Other income, net” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the derivative warrant liability was estimated using the following model inputs: Successor Predecessor Period Ended At Issuance Period Ended September 30, 2017 August 7, 2017 December 31, 2016 Exercise price $ 39.82 $ 39.82 $ 0.01 Closing stock price (a) $ 24.81 $ 22.28 $ 0.18 Risk free rate 2.14 % 2.07 % 2.40 % Expected volatility 38.85 % 39.39 % 79.50 % _____________________ (a) As the Company’s post-Effective Date common stock did not begin trading on the NYSE American Stock Exchange until October 12, 2017, the closing stock price used to estimate the fair value of the derivative warrant liability on August 7, 2017 was the implied price per share assuming an enterprise value of $302.5 million before fresh start accounting adjustments. The closing stock price used to estimate the fair value of the derivative warrant liability on September 30, 2017 was the implied price per share derived by fresh start accounting as discussed in Note 4 . See “Risks Related to our Common Stock” on page 58 of this Quarterly Report.

Restructuring and Exit Costs

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring and Exit Costs	Restructuring and Exit Costs In March 2015, we initiated a plan to restructure our business in certain shale basins and reduce costs, including an exit from the Mississippian shale area and the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale logistics business. Additionally, we closed certain yards within the Northeast and Southern divisions and transferred many of the related assets to our other operating locations, primarily in the Eagle Ford shale basin. The total costs of the restructuring recognized in 2015 were approximately $7.1 million , and included severance and termination benefits, lease exit costs, other exits costs related to the movement of vehicles and rental fleet, and an asset impairment charge. There were no similar restructuring or exit costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016 . The remaining liability for the restructuring and exit costs incurred represents lease exit costs under non-cancellable operating leases and totaled approximately $0.1 million as of September 30, 2017 , which is included in “Accrued liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. A rollforward of the liability from December 31, 2016 through September 30, 2017 is as follows: Lease Exit Costs Balance accrued at beginning of period - Predecessor $ 130 Cash payments (36 ) Balance accrued at end of period - Successor $ 94

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The following table shows the components of the income tax expense for the periods indicated: Successor Predecessor Two Months Ended One Month Ended Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 July 31, 2017 September 30, 2016 Current income tax expense $ — $ (33 ) $ (2 ) Deferred income tax (expense) benefit (34 ) 337 (22 ) Total income tax (expense) benefit $ (34 ) $ 304 $ (24 ) Successor Predecessor Two Months Ended Seven Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 July 31, 2017 September 30, 2016 Current income tax expense $ — $ (15 ) $ (782 ) Deferred income tax (expense) benefit (34 ) 337 (70 ) Total income tax (expense) benefit $ (34 ) $ 322 $ (852 ) The effective income tax rate for the Successor period, or the two months ended September 30, 2017 , was (0.2)% , which differs from the federal statutory benefit rate of 35.0% . The difference is primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets resulting from current year losses. The effective income tax rate for the Predecessor periods, or the one month and seven months ended July 31, 2017, was (0.1)% and (0.2)% , respectively, which differs from the federal statutory benefit rate of 35.0% . The difference is primarily due to the change in the deferred tax liability related to certain long-lived assets resulting from the application of fresh start accounting. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 0.1% and 0.8% , which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to income from the cancellation of debt which generated a cash tax liability under the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) provisions. Under the AMT provisions, the use of net operating losses (“NOLs”) is limited to 90% of a taxpayer’s AMT income, thus generating tax on the remaining income. Upon utilization of our NOLs, we will receive a credit for the AMT tax paid to be used against any current income tax obligations subsequently incurred. We have significant deferred tax assets, consisting primarily of NOLs, which have a limited life, generally expiring between the years 2029 and 2037, and capital losses, which have a five year carryforward expiring in 2020. We regularly assess the positive and negative evidence available to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative losses incurred in recent years. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for future taxable income. In light of our continued ordinary losses, at September 30, 2017 we determined that our deferred tax liabilities were not sufficient to fully realize our deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance continues to be required against the portion of our deferred tax assets that is not offset by deferred tax liabilities. We expect our effective income tax rate to be near zero for the remainder of 2017 in the Successor Company.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share-based Compensation	Share-based Compensation Successor Share-Based Compensation Upon emergence from chapter 11 and on the Effective Date, Mr. Mark D. Johnsrud, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, received an award of stock options in two tranches pursuant to his Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement to purchase (i) 2.5% of the outstanding equity securities of the reorganized Company, on a fully diluted basis, at a premium exercise price equal to the value of a share of the reorganized Company’s common stock at an enterprise valuation of $475.0 million and (ii) 2.5% of the outstanding equity securities of the reorganized Company, on a fully diluted basis, at a premium exercise price equal to the value of a share of the reorganized Company’s common stock at an enterprise valuation of $525.0 million . Each tranche of options will vest in substantially equal installments on the first three anniversaries following the Effective Date. Pursuant to the Plan, our Board of Directors is in the process of establishing a management incentive plan whereby shares of common stock of the Company equal to 12.5% of the outstanding equity securities of the Company, on a fully diluted basis, would be available for issuance, of which restricted stock units representing 7.5% of the outstanding equity securities of the reorganized Company, on a fully diluted basis, would be issued to Mr. Johnsrud pursuant to his Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.

Legal Matters

Legal Matters	9 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Matters	Legal Matters Environmental Liabilities We are subject to the environmental protection and health and safety laws and related rules and regulations of the United States and of the individual states, municipalities and other local jurisdictions where we operate. Our continuing operations are subject to rules and regulations promulgated by the Texas Railroad Commission, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the North Dakota Department of Health, the North Dakota Industrial Commission, Oil and Gas Division, the North Dakota State Water Commission, the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the Montana Board of Oil and Gas, among others. These laws, rules and regulations address environmental, health and safety and related concerns, including water quality and employee safety. We have installed safety, monitoring and environmental protection equipment such as pressure sensors and relief valves, and have established reporting and responsibility protocols for environmental protection and reporting to such relevant local environmental protection departments as required by law. We believe we are in material compliance with all applicable environmental protection laws and regulations in the United States and the states in which we operate. We believe that there are no unrecorded liabilities as of the periods reported herein in connection with our compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017 did not include any accruals for environmental matters. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 included accruals totaling $2.8 million for various environmental matters. Litigation There are various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against us, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to securities and shareholder class actions, personal injury, vehicular and industrial accidents, commercial contracts, legal and regulatory compliance, securities disclosure, labor and employment, and employee benefits and environmental matters, the more significant of which are summarized below. We record a provision for these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Any provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the impact and status of settlements, rulings, advice of counsel and other information and events pertinent to a particular matter. We believe that we have valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against us. Based on our experience, we also believe that the damage amounts claimed in the lawsuits disclosed below are not necessarily a meaningful indicator of our potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that our results of operations or cash flow could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of the legal matters pending against us. We do not expect that the outcome of other current claims and legal actions not discussed below will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Chapter 11 Proceedings As previously discussed herein, on May 1, 2017, the Nuverra Parties filed voluntary petitions under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court to pursue the Plan. On July 25, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan. The Plan became effective on the Effective Date, when all remaining conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied or waived. Although the Nuverra Parties emerged from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, the bankruptcy cases will remain pending until closed by the Bankruptcy Court. AWS Arbitration Demand and Note Payable Settlement On April 28, 2015, our former partner in AWS issued to us a Demand for Arbitration pursuant to the terms of the AWS operating agreement, relating to alleged breaches by us of certain of our obligations under the operating agreement. We entered into a settlement of this matter with our former partner in June 2015 whereby we purchased the remaining interest in AWS for $4.0 million in cash and a $7.4 million note payable (or “the AWS Note”) with principal and interest due in equal quarterly installments through April 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the note, if we failed to meet the payment terms of the obligation, or if we became insolvent or declared bankruptcy, all remaining outstanding balances on the note payable would become immediately due and payable. As we failed to meet the payment terms of the obligation and filed the chapter 11 cases, all outstanding balances on the note payable became immediately due and payable. Pursuant to Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the chapter 11 cases automatically stayed most actions against the Nuverra Parties, including actions to collect indebtedness incurred prior to the filing of the Plan or to exercise control over the Nuverra Parties’ property. Subject to certain exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the chapter 11 cases also automatically stayed the continuation of most legal proceedings or the filing of other actions against or on behalf of the Nuverra Parties or their property to recover on, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the filing of the cases or to exercise control over property of the Nuverra Parties’ bankruptcy estates. As a result, the filing of the chapter 11 cases with the Bankruptcy Court automatically stayed any potential action to collect the outstanding balance on the note payable. On July 17, 2017, the Nuverra Parties filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking authorization to resolve unsecured claims related to the AWS note payable. Pursuant to the proposed settlement terms, the Nuverra Parties will transfer to the holders of the AWS note payable, their water treatment facility in the Marcellus Shale area, including all assets related to the operations of the water treatment facility in “as-is, where-is” condition, together with $75,000 for reimbursement of certain costs and deferred maintenance. In exchange for the water treatment facility and the $75,000 , the holders of the AWS note payable will release their claims related to the AWS note payable and enter into with certain of the Nuverra Parties a lease of five acres of land that can be used by the Nuverra Parties to operate a truck depot. On July 21, 2017 , the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the AWS note payable settlement. We expect to complete the settlement, including the transfer of the water treatment facility, during the fourth quarter of 2017. Confirmation Order Appeal On July 26, 2017, David Hargreaves, an individual holder of 2018 Notes, appealed the Confirmation Order to the District Court and filed a motion for a stay pending appeal from the District Court. The Company and the unsecured creditors’ committee opposed the stay in the District Court. On August 3, 2017, the District Court entered an order denying the motion for a stay pending appeal. Notwithstanding the denial of the motion for stay pending appeal, Hargreaves’ appeal remains pending in the District Court. The ultimate outcome of this appeal and its effects on the Confirmation Order are impossible to predict with certainty. No assurance can be given that the appeal will not affect the finality, validity and enforceability of the Confirmation Order.

The post-closing working capital reconciliation was completed during the year ended December 31, 2016, and as a result we recorded an additional loss on the sale of TFI of $1.3 million , bringing the total loss on sale to $1.5 million . The $4.3 million was released from escrow during 2016, of which $3.0 million was returned to us and $1.3 million was paid to Safety-Kleen for the post-closing working capital adjustment and certain indemnification claims.

Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Nuverra,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are unaudited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 , included herein, has been derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (or “GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on April 14, 2017. All dollar and share amounts in the footnote tabular presentations are in thousands, except per share amounts and unless otherwise noted. Unless stated otherwise, any reference to statement of operations items in these accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements refers to results from continuing operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements We adopted the guidance in ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”) as of January 1, 2017 when it became effective. Under the new standard, income tax benefits and deficiencies are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the tax effects of exercised or vested awards are treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. Additionally, excess tax benefits are recognized regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period and are classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. Upon adopting ASU 2016-09, an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. We have selected to make an entity wide accounting policy election to continue to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest. We have adopted the other provisions of the new guidance on a prospective basis, except when the modified retrospective transition method was specifically required. The adoption of this guidance has not had a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no other material changes or developments in our significant accounting policies or evaluation of accounting estimates and underlying assumptions or methodologies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The amendments in this update will be added to the ASC as Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and replaces the guidance in Topic 605. The underlying principle of the guidance in this update is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. This new revenue standard also calls for more detailed disclosures and provides guidance for transactions that weren’t addressed completely, such as service revenue and contract modifications which may be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). The guidance in ASU 2015-14 delays the effective date for the new revenue recognition guidance outlined in ASU 2014-09 to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is the reporting period starting January 1, 2018. We currently anticipate adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method. While we are still in the process of completing our analysis on the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, we do not expect the impact to be material. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires an entity that is a lessee to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. This guidance also requires disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption of ASU 2016-09 is permitted. While we are currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements, we expect the primary impact upon adoption will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets resulting in the recording of right of use assets and lease obligations. Based upon the current effective date, the new guidance would first apply to our reporting period starting January 1, 2019. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”) related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The pronouncement provides clarification and guidance on eight specific cash flow presentation issues that have developed due to diversity in practice. The issues include, but are not limited to, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018, and don’t believe that this new guidance will have a significant impact on the consolidated statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). This guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. As a result, restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the new guidance is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated statement of cash flows, other than the classification of restricted cash within the beginning-of-period and end-of-period totals on the consolidated statement of cash flows, as opposed to being excluded from these totals. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. We plan to early adopt this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2017 in conjunction with our annual impairment test as of October 1st. Previously our goodwill was tested for impairment annually at September 30th. However, upon emergence we have determined that our goodwill will be tested for impairment annually at October 1st and more frequently if events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The amendments in this ASU will be applied on a prospective basis and the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(e) The Predecessor Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of 13% compounded monthly and which was paid in kind by increasing the principal amount payable thereunder. Principal including the paid in kind interest was due April 15, 2018. The Predecessor Term Loan was canceled on the Effective Date. (f) Vehicle financings consist of capital lease arrangements related to fleet purchases with a weighted-average annual interest rate of approximately 4.30% , which mature in varying installments between 2017 and 2020 . Capital lease obligations were $4.4 million and $7.7 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. (g) The note payable balance as of December 31, 2016 represented the remaining amount due from acquiring the remaining interest of our former partner in AWS in 2015. Principal and interest payments were due in equal quarterly installments through April 2019. In connection with our chapter 11 filing, the note payable to AWS was settled. See Note 4 and Note 15 for discussion on the AWS Note payable settlement. (h) Our Successor Revolving Facility, Successor First Lien Term Loan, Successor Second Lien Term Loan, and vehicle financings bear interest at rates commensurate with market rates and therefore their respective carrying values approximate fair value. (i) The debt discount for issuance of warrants represented the initial fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debt restructuring that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2016, which was amortized through interest expense over the term of the 2021 Notes and the Predecessor Term Loan. As described further in Note 11 , these warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities. Upon emergence from chapter 11 on the Effective Date, all existing warrants outstanding under the Predecessor Company were canceled under the Plan. (j) Interest on the Successor First Lien Term Loan accrues at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 7.25% . Interest on the Successor Second Lien Term Loan accrues at both an annual rate equal to 11.0% , with 5.5% payable in cash and 5.5% payable in kind prior to February 7, 2018 (or such later date as the Company may select in accordance with terms of the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement) and on or after February 7, 2018 (or such later date), at an annual rate equal to 11.0% , payable in cash, in arrears, on the first day of each month.
