	Note 1 – Organization, Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	C&J Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in Texas in 1997. Through its subsidiaries, the Company operates in three reportable segments: Stimulation and Well Intervention Services, Wireline Services and Equipment Manufacturing. The Company provides hydraulic fracturing, coiled tubing and other well stimulation services through its Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment and cased-hole wireline and other complementary services through its Wireline Services segment to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies throughout the United States. In addition, the Company manufactures, refurbishes and repairs equipment and provides oilfield parts and supplies for third-party customers in the energy services industry through its Equipment Manufacturing segment, and also fulfills the Company’s internal equipment demands through this segment. See “Note 11 – Segment Information” for further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments. With the exception of C&J International B.V. and C&J International Middle East FZCO, all of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are currently located and operated within North America. As used herein, references to the “Company” or “C&J” are to C&J Energy Services, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of C&J and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and account balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in, but are not limited to, determining the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, income taxes and stock-based compensation. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash is defined as cash on-hand and balances in operating bank accounts, amounts due from depository institutions, interest-bearing and deposits in other banks, and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers and are ordinarily due upon receipt. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded when it is deemed probable that the customer will not make the required payments at either the contractual due dates or in the future. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Bad debt expense of $0.7 million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million was included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Inventories. Inventories for the Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment and the Wireline Services segment consist of finished goods and raw materials, including equipment components, chemicals, proppants, and supplies and materials for the segments’ operations. Inventories for the Equipment Manufacturing segment consist of raw materials and work-in-process, including equipment components and supplies and materials. See “Note 11 – Segment Information” for further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments.
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) on a first-in, first-out basis and appropriate consideration is given to deterioration, obsolescence and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):
		As of December 31,
		2013			2012
	Raw materials	$	31,445		$	21,551
	Work-in-process		3,652			1,523
	Finished goods		36,690			38,164
	Total inventory		71,787			61,238
	Inventory reserve		(841	)		(579	)
	Inventory, net of reserve	$	70,946		$	60,659
	Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the related assets, are charged to expense when incurred. Refurbishments and renewals are capitalized when the value of the equipment is enhanced for an extended period. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operating income.
	The cost of property and equipment currently in service is depreciated, on a straight-line basis, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to 25 years. Depreciation expense was $64.6 million, $39.4 million and $19.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Major classifications of property, plant and equipment and their respective useful lives are as follows (in thousands):
		Estimated Useful				As of December 31,
		Lives (years)				2013				2012
	Land		Indefinite			$	2,225			$	1,454

	Property, plant and equipment, net					$	535,574			$	433,727
	Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Amortization. The carrying amount of goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment testing is conducted at the reporting unit level, consistent with the presentation of the Company’s operating segments.
	Before employing detailed impairment testing methodologies, the Company may first evaluate the likelihood of impairment by considering qualitative factors relevant to each reporting unit, such as macroeconomic, industry, market or any other factors that have a significant bearing on fair value. If the Company first utilizes a qualitative approach and determines that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, detailed testing methodologies are then applied. Otherwise, the Company concludes that no impairment has occurred. The Company may also choose to bypass a qualitative approach and opt instead to employ detailed testing methodologies, regardless of a possible more likely than not outcome. Detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, then it is concluded that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is required to measure possible goodwill impairment loss. The second step includes hypothetically valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is compared to the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value.
	The Company’s detailed impairment analysis involves the use of discounted cash flow models. Significant management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes on each reporting unit. Critical assumptions include projected revenue growth, fleet count, gross profit rates, SG&A rates, working capital fluctuations, capital expenditures, discount rates and terminal growth rates. Discount rates are determined separately for each reporting unit using the capital asset pricing model. Comparable market earnings multiple data is also used as well as the Company’s market capitalization to corroborate reporting unit valuations.
	Judgment is used in assessing whether goodwill should be tested more frequently for impairment than annually. Factors such as unexpected adverse economic conditions, competition, market changes and other external events may require more frequent assessments. The annual goodwill impairment testing has been completed for each of the Company’s reporting units during the fourth quarter, and as the fair value of each reporting unit was in excess of the respective reporting unit's carrying value, it has been determined that the $205.8 million of goodwill is not impaired.
	The Company has approximately $13.8 million of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, which are subject to annual impairment tests or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Before employing detailed impairment testing methodologies, the Company may first evaluate the likelihood of impairment by considering qualitative factors. A detailed impairment test for indefinite lived intangible assets encompasses calculating a fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset and comparing the fair value to its carrying value. No impairment with respect to indefinite lived intangible assets was recorded during 2013.
	Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

		Period (years)				2013				2012
	Trade name	10	-	15		$	27,665			$	27,275

	Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 totaled $10.1 million, $7.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively.
	Estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years and thereafter is as follows (in thousands):
	Years Ending December 31,
	2014		10,187
	2015		9,535
	2016		9,269
	2017		9,135
	2018		9,135
	Thereafter		61,932
		$	109,193
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is determined that the carrying amount is not recoverable. The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The impairment loss is determined by comparing the fair value with the carrying value of the related assets. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, no indicators of impairment were present.
	Deferred Financing Costs. Costs incurred to obtain financing are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the loan, which approximates the effective interest method. These costs are classified within interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations and were $1.2 million, $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $2.5 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Estimated future amortization expense relating to deferred financing costs is as follows (in thousands):
	Years Ending December 31,
	2014		1,160
	2015		1,160
	2016		368
	$	2,688
Revenue Recognition. All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is complete or the equipment has been delivered to the customer, the amount is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured, as follows:
Hydraulic Fracturing Revenue. The Company provides hydraulic fracturing services pursuant to contractual arrangements, such as term contracts and pricing agreements, or on a spot market basis. Revenue is recognized and customers are invoiced upon the completion of each job, which can consist of one or more fracturing stages. Once a job has been completed to the customer’s satisfaction, a field ticket is written that includes charges for the service performed and the chemicals and proppants consumed during the course of the service. The field ticket may also include charges for the mobilization of the equipment to the location, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and other miscellaneous consumables.
Historically, most of the Company’s hydraulic fracturing services were performed under six legacy term contracts. Over the course of 2013, all but one of these term contracts expired, with two transitioning into short-term pricing agreements. Under the Company’s term contracts, customers were typically obligated to pay on a monthly basis for a specified number of hours of service, whether or not those services were actually used. To the extent customers used more than the specified contracted minimums, the Company would be paid a pre-agreed amount for the provision of such additional services.
Pursuant to pricing agreements, customers typically commit to targeted utilization levels at agreed-upon pricing, but without termination penalties or obligations to pay for services not used by the customer. In addition, the agreed-upon pricing is typically subject to periodic review, as specifically defined in the agreement, and may be adjusted to then-current market rates upon the agreement of both parties.
Rates for services performed on a spot market basis are based on an agreed-upon hourly spot market rate. The Company may also charge fees for setup and mobilization of equipment depending on the job, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and materials that are consumed during the fracturing process. Generally, these fees and other charges vary depending on the equipment and personnel required for the job and market conditions in the region in which the services are performed.
Coiled Tubing and Other Well Stimulation Revenue. The Company enters into arrangements to provide coiled tubing and other well stimulation services, primarily including nitrogen, pressure pumping and thru-tubing services. Jobs for these services are typically short-term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. Revenue is recognized upon completion of each day’s work based upon a completed field ticket. The field ticket includes charges for the mobilization of the equipment to the location, the service performed, the personnel on the job, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and miscellaneous consumables used throughout the course of the service. The Company typically charges the customer for these services on an hourly basis at agreed-upon spot market rates.
Revenue from Materials Consumed While Performing Services. The Company generates revenue from chemicals and proppants that are consumed while performing hydraulic fracturing services. For services performed on a spot market basis, the necessary chemicals and proppants are typically provided by the Company and the customer is billed for those materials at cost plus an agreed-upon markup. For services performed on a contractual basis, when the chemicals and proppants are provided by the Company, the customer is billed for those materials at a negotiated contractual rate. When chemicals and proppants are supplied by the customer, the Company typically charges handling fees based on the amount of chemicals and proppants used.
In addition, ancillary to coiled tubing and other well stimulation services revenue, the Company generates revenue from various fluids and supplies that are necessarily consumed during those processes.
Wireline Revenue. Wireline revenue is generated from the performance of cased-hole wireline and other complementary services, including logging, perforating, pipe recovery, pressure testing and pumpdown services. These jobs are typically short-term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. Revenue is recognized when the services and equipment are provided and the job is completed. The Company typically charges the customer on a per job basis for these services at agreed-upon spot market rates.
Equipment Manufacturing Revenue. The Company enters into arrangements to construct new equipment, refurbish and repair equipment and provide oilfield parts and supplies to third-party customers in the energy services industry. Revenue is recognized and the customer is invoiced upon the completion and delivery of each order to the customer.
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans provide the ability to grant equity awards to officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors. As of December 31, 2013, only nonqualified stock options and restricted stock had been granted under such plans. The Company values option grants based on the grant date fair value by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and values restricted stock grants based on the closing price of C&J’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements and the related accounting treatment can be found in “Note 6 – Stock-Based Compensation.”
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The carrying value of long-term debt and capital lease obligations approximate their fair value, as the interest rates approximate market rates.
Equity Method Investments. During 2013, the Company made an investment in a joint venture which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the joint venture. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company’s share of undistributed earnings and losses of these investments. The Company eliminates all significant intercompany transactions, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees, from the consolidated financial results.
The carrying value of this equity method investment at December 31, 2013 was $2.8 million and is included in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the net loss from the unconsolidated affiliate was approximately $160,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and is included in other expense, net, on the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In assessing the likelihood and extent that deferred tax assets will be realized, consideration is given to projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Previously recognized tax positions are reversed in the first period in which it is no longer more-likely-than-not that the tax position would be sustained upon examination. Income tax related interest and penalties, if applicable, are recorded as a component of the provision for income tax expense. However, there were no amounts recognized relating to interest and penalties in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2013.
Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock (“common shares”) outstanding during the applicable period and excludes shares subject to outstanding stock options and shares of restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus, when their effect is dilutive, incremental shares consisting of shares subject to outstanding stock options and restricted stock.
The following is a reconciliation of the components of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the applicable periods:

	Credit Facility
	On April 19, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year senior secured revolving credit agreement which, as amended on June 5, 2012, has a borrowing base of $400.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). The amendment increased, among other things, the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility from $200.0 million to $400.0 million. The aggregate amount by which the Company may periodically increase commitments through incremental facilities is $100.0 million, the sublimit for letters of credit is $200.0 million and the sublimit for swing line loans is $25.0 million. Loans under the Credit Facility are denominated in U.S. dollars and will mature on April 19, 2016. Outstanding loans bear interest at either LIBOR or a base rate, at the Company’s election, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% for base rate loans and from 2.25% to 3.00% for LIBOR loans, based upon the Company’s ratio of funded indebtedness to EBITDA for the Company on a consolidated basis. The Company is also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility.
	As of December 31, 2013, $150.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, along with $0.7 million in letters of credit, leaving $249.3 million available for borrowing. All obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, other than immaterial subsidiaries. The weighted average interest rate as of December 31, 2013 was 2.4%.
	The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants including financial reporting, governance and notification requirements. Among other restrictions, the Company is unable to issue dividends under the terms of the Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2013.
	Capitalized terms used in this Note 2 – Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations but not defined herein are defined in the Credit Facility.
	Capital Lease Obligations
	In 2013, the Company entered into a “build-to-suit” lease agreement for the construction of its research and technology facility as well as its new corporate headquarters. The research and technology facility was completed during 2013, and is being accounted for as a capital lease, which is a non-cash investing and financing activity. The cost of the leased building was approximately $13.5 million and accumulated amortization was $0.1 million at December 31, 2013. The lease is payable monthly in amounts ranging from $93 thousand to $128 thousand over the term of the lease, including interest at approximately 2.7% per year, and has an initial term of 12 years. Cumulative future lease payments through the initial term are $15.7 million, of which approximately $2.4 million represents interest expense. Commencement of the corporate headquarters lease will begin when construction of the facility is substantially complete, which is expected to be in April 2014.
	In addition, the Company leases certain service equipment, with the intent to purchase, under non-cancelable capital leases. The terms of these contracts range from three to four years with varying payment dates throughout each month.

	The C&J Energy Services, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 LTIP”) provides for the grant of stock-based awards to the Company’s officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The following types of awards are available for issuance under the 2012 LTIP: incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options; stock appreciation rights; restricted stock; restricted stock units; dividend equivalent rights; phantom stock units; stock appreciation rights; performance awards; and share awards. To date, only nonqualified stock options and restricted stock have been awarded under the 2012 LTIP. Under the 2012 LTIP, all stock option awards have generally been granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the grant date. Those awards generally vest over three years of continuous service with one-third vesting on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the option’s grant date. The option awards expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.
	To the extent permitted by law, the participant of an award of restricted stock will have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the underlying shares of common stock, including the right to vote the common shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions made with respect to the common shares. Dividends on restricted stock will be deferred until the lapsing of the restrictions imposed on the shares and will be held by the Company for the account of the participant (either in cash or to be reinvested in shares of restricted stock) until such time. Payment of the deferred dividends and accrued interest, if any, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions on the shares of restricted stock, and any dividends deferred in respect of any shares of restricted stock shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of such shares of restricted stock.
	A total of 4.3 million shares of common stock were authorized and approved for issuance under the 2012 LTIP, subject to certain adjustments. This number of shares is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of a reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, spin-off, split-up, issuance of warrants, rights or debentures, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, cash dividend, property dividend, combination or exchange of shares, repurchase of shares, change in corporate structure or any similar corporate event or transaction. This number of shares may also increase due to the termination of an award granted under the 2012 LTIP, or under the Company’s Prior Plans (as defined below), by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of the shares of common stock. Approximately 3.1 million shares were available for issuance under the 2012 LTIP as of December 31, 2013.
	Prior to the approval of the 2012 LTIP, the Company adopted and maintained the C&J Energy Services, Inc. 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The Company’s 2010 Plan allowed for the grant of non-statutory stock options and incentive stock options to its employees, consultants and outside directors for up to 5.7 million shares of common stock. Under the 2010 Plan, option awards were generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the grant date. Those option awards generally vest over three years of continuous service with one-third vesting on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the option’s grant date. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the 2010 Plan. The options expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.
	In connection with the approval of the 2012 LTIP, on May 29, 2012, the 2010 Plan was amended to provide, among other things, that (i) no additional awards would be granted under the 2010 Plan on or after May 29, 2012, (ii) all awards outstanding under the 2010 Plan as of May 29, 2012 would continue to be subject to the terms of the 2010 Plan and the applicable award agreement, and (iii) if and to the extent an award originally granted pursuant to the 2010 Plan is terminated by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of shares of common stock, any and all shares of common stock associated with such award shall become available to be granted pursuant to a new award under the terms of the 2012 LTIP.
	Prior to December 23, 2010, all options granted to employees were granted under the C&J Energy Services, Inc. 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan” and, together with the 2010 Plan, the “Prior Plans”). On December 23, 2010, the 2006 Plan was amended to provide, among other things, that (i) no additional awards would be granted under the 2006 Plan, (ii) all awards outstanding under the 2006 Plan would continue to be subject to the terms of the 2006 Plan and the applicable award agreement, and (iii) all unvested options under the 2006 Plan would immediately vest and become exercisable in connection with the completion of a private placement of common stock that occurred in December 2010. On May 29, 2012, the 2006 Plan was further amended to provide, among other things, that if and to the extent an award originally granted pursuant to the 2006 Plan is terminated by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of shares of common stock, any and all shares of common stock associated with such award shall become available to be granted pursuant to a new award under the terms of the 2012 LTIP.
	Stock Options
	The fair value of each option award granted under the 2012 LTIP and the Prior Plans is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Due to the Company’s lack of historical volume of option activity, the expected term of options granted is derived using the “plain vanilla” method. In addition, expected volatilities have been based on comparable public company data, with consideration given to the Company’s limited historical data. The Company makes estimates with respect to employee termination and forfeiture rates of the options within the valuation model. The risk-free rate is based on the approximate U.S. Treasury yield rate in effect at the time of grant. For options granted prior to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), which closed on August 3, 2011, the calculation of the Company’s stock price involved the use of different valuation techniques, including a combination of an income and/or market approach. Determination of the fair value was a matter of judgment and often involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The following table presents the assumptions used in determining the fair value of option awards for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. No stock options were granted by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013.

	Note 8 – Business Concentrations
	Concentration of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because the Company performs credit evaluations, sets credit limits, and monitors the payment patterns of its customers. Cash balances on deposits with financial institutions, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company regularly monitors the institutions’ financial condition.
	The Company’s top ten customers accounted for approximately 64.6%, 81.0% and 92.7% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013, revenue from two customers individually represented 19.5% and 13.1%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2012, revenue from three customers individually represented 19.1%, 15.6% and 12.9%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2011, revenue from five customers individually represented 23.1%, 18.2%, 15.9%, 13.2% and 10.4%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue. Other than those listed above, no other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue in 2013, 2012 or 2011, respectively. Revenue is earned from each of these customers within the Company’s Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Wireline Services segments.

	Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies
	Environmental
	The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that establish standards and requirements for protection of the environment. The Company cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. The Company continues to monitor the status of these laws and regulations.
	Currently, the Company has not been fined, cited or notified of any environmental violations that would have a material adverse effect upon its financial position, liquidity or capital resources. However, management does recognize that by the very nature of its business, material costs could be incurred in the near term to maintain compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of possible regulation or liabilities, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of the Company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or indemnification.
	Litigation
	The Company is, and from time to time may be, involved in claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Because there are inherent uncertainties in the ultimate outcome of such matters, it is presently not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of any pending or potential claims or litigation against the Company; however, management believes that the outcome of those matters that are presently known to the Company will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operation or liquidity.
	On February 9, 2013, the Company signed an agreement to settle a dispute arising from a lawsuit filed in 2011 in which the Company and certain current and former equity holders, including certain executive officers, were named as defendants. The settlement agreement stipulated that the Company pay $5.9 million for a full release of any further liability. The settlement amount was recorded in 2012 and reflected in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 and in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended.
	Service Equipment and Other Capital Expenditures
	The Company has agreed to purchase service equipment and other capital assets for $12.2 million as of December 31, 2013. The Company expects to fulfill these commitments during 2014.
	Operating Leases
	The Company leases certain property and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The term of the operating leases generally range from 12 months to 15 years.
	Lease expense under all operating leases totaled $14.6 million, $12.3 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Note 11 - Segment Information
	In accordance with FASB ASC 280 Segment Reporting, the Company routinely evaluates whether it has separate operating and reportable segments. The Company has determined that it operates in three reportable segments: Stimulation and Well Intervention Services, Wireline Services and Equipment Manufacturing. This determination is made based on the following factors: (1) the Company’s chief operating decision maker is currently managing each segment as a separate business and evaluating the performance of each segment and making resource allocation decisions distinctly and expects to do so for the foreseeable future, and (2) discrete financial information for each segment is available. Prior to the acquisition of Casedhole Solutions on June 7, 2012, the Company operated under two segments: Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Equipment Manufacturing. The Company analyzed the impact of the Casedhole Solutions acquisition on its operations and determined that, as a result thereof, a third reportable segment now exists – the Wireline Services segment. The following is a brief description of the Company’s three segments:
	Stimulation and Well Intervention Services. This segment has three related service lines providing hydraulic fracturing coiled tubing and other well stimulation services. Additionally, with the development of the specialty chemicals business and strategic acquisitions during 2013, the Company now provides specialty chemicals for completion and production services, as well as downhole tools and related directional drilling technology and data control systems. After an evaluation of these businesses, it was determined that at this time each is appropriately accounted for under the Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment.
	Wireline Services. This segment provides cased-hole wireline services and other complementary services, including logging, perforating, pipe recovery, pressure testing and pumpdown services.
	Equipment Manufacturing. This segment constructs equipment, conducts equipment repair services and provides oilfield parts and supplies for third-party customers in the energy services industry, as well as to fulfill the internal equipment demands of the Company’s Stimulation and Well Intervention Services and Wireline Services segments.
	The following tables set forth certain financial information with respect to the Company’s reportable segments. Included in “Corporate and Other” are intersegment eliminations and costs associated with activities of a general corporate nature.

	Management evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on total earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, net gain or loss on disposal of assets, transaction costs, and non-routine items, including loss on early extinguishment of debt and loss on legal settlement charges and inventory write-down (“Adjusted EBITDA”), because Adjusted EBITDA is considered an important measure of each segment’s performance. In addition, management believes that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of each segment’s operating performance allows investors to make a direct comparison to competitors, without regard to differences in capital and financing structure. Investors should be aware, however, that there are limitations inherent in using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of overall profitability because it excludes significant expense items. An improving trend in Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of an improvement in the Company’s profitability. To compensate for the limitations in utilizing Adjusted EBITDA as an operating measure, management also uses U.S. GAAP measures of performance, including operating income and net income, to evaluate performance, but only with respect to the Company as a whole and not on a segment basis.
	As required under Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, included below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to net income, which is the nearest comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure (in thousands).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of C&J and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and account balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in, but are not limited to, determining the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, income taxes and stock-based compensation. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash is defined as cash on-hand and balances in operating bank accounts, amounts due from depository institutions, interest-bearing and deposits in other banks, and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers and are ordinarily due upon receipt. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded when it is deemed probable that the customer will not make the required payments at either the contractual due dates or in the future. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Bad debt expense of $0.7 million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million was included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Inventories. Inventories for the Stimulation and Well Intervention Services segment and the Wireline Services segment consist of finished goods and raw materials, including equipment components, chemicals, proppants, and supplies and materials for the segments’ operations. Inventories for the Equipment Manufacturing segment consist of raw materials and work-in-process, including equipment components and supplies and materials. See “Note 11 – Segment Information” for further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments.
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) on a first-in, first-out basis and appropriate consideration is given to deterioration, obsolescence and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):
		As of December 31,

	Inventory, net of reserve	$	70,946		$	60,659
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the related assets, are charged to expense when incurred. Refurbishments and renewals are capitalized when the value of the equipment is enhanced for an extended period. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operating income.
	The cost of property and equipment currently in service is depreciated, on a straight-line basis, over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to 25 years. Depreciation expense was $64.6 million, $39.4 million and $19.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Major classifications of property, plant and equipment and their respective useful lives are as follows (in thousands):

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Amortization. The carrying amount of goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment testing is conducted at the reporting unit level, consistent with the presentation of the Company’s operating segments.
	Before employing detailed impairment testing methodologies, the Company may first evaluate the likelihood of impairment by considering qualitative factors relevant to each reporting unit, such as macroeconomic, industry, market or any other factors that have a significant bearing on fair value. If the Company first utilizes a qualitative approach and determines that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, detailed testing methodologies are then applied. Otherwise, the Company concludes that no impairment has occurred. The Company may also choose to bypass a qualitative approach and opt instead to employ detailed testing methodologies, regardless of a possible more likely than not outcome. Detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, then it is concluded that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is required to measure possible goodwill impairment loss. The second step includes hypothetically valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is compared to the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value.
	The Company’s detailed impairment analysis involves the use of discounted cash flow models. Significant management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes on each reporting unit. Critical assumptions include projected revenue growth, fleet count, gross profit rates, SG&A rates, working capital fluctuations, capital expenditures, discount rates and terminal growth rates. Discount rates are determined separately for each reporting unit using the capital asset pricing model. Comparable market earnings multiple data is also used as well as the Company’s market capitalization to corroborate reporting unit valuations.
	Judgment is used in assessing whether goodwill should be tested more frequently for impairment than annually. Factors such as unexpected adverse economic conditions, competition, market changes and other external events may require more frequent assessments. The annual goodwill impairment testing has been completed for each of the Company’s reporting units during the fourth quarter, and as the fair value of each reporting unit was in excess of the respective reporting unit's carrying value, it has been determined that the $205.8 million of goodwill is not impaired.
	The Company has approximately $13.8 million of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, which are subject to annual impairment tests or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Before employing detailed impairment testing methodologies, the Company may first evaluate the likelihood of impairment by considering qualitative factors. A detailed impairment test for indefinite lived intangible assets encompasses calculating a fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset and comparing the fair value to its carrying value. No impairment with respect to indefinite lived intangible assets was recorded during 2013.
	Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is determined that the carrying amount is not recoverable. The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The impairment loss is determined by comparing the fair value with the carrying value of the related assets. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, no indicators of impairment were present.
Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Deferred Financing Costs. Costs incurred to obtain financing are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the loan, which approximates the effective interest method. These costs are classified within interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations and were $1.2 million, $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $2.5 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Estimated future amortization expense relating to deferred financing costs is as follows (in thousands):
	Years Ending December 31,

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue Recognition. All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is complete or the equipment has been delivered to the customer, the amount is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured, as follows:
	Hydraulic Fracturing Revenue. The Company provides hydraulic fracturing services pursuant to contractual arrangements, such as term contracts and pricing agreements, or on a spot market basis. Revenue is recognized and customers are invoiced upon the completion of each job, which can consist of one or more fracturing stages. Once a job has been completed to the customer’s satisfaction, a field ticket is written that includes charges for the service performed and the chemicals and proppants consumed during the course of the service. The field ticket may also include charges for the mobilization of the equipment to the location, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and other miscellaneous consumables.
	Historically, most of the Company’s hydraulic fracturing services were performed under six legacy term contracts. Over the course of 2013, all but one of these term contracts expired, with two transitioning into short-term pricing agreements. Under the Company’s term contracts, customers were typically obligated to pay on a monthly basis for a specified number of hours of service, whether or not those services were actually used. To the extent customers used more than the specified contracted minimums, the Company would be paid a pre-agreed amount for the provision of such additional services.
	Pursuant to pricing agreements, customers typically commit to targeted utilization levels at agreed-upon pricing, but without termination penalties or obligations to pay for services not used by the customer. In addition, the agreed-upon pricing is typically subject to periodic review, as specifically defined in the agreement, and may be adjusted to then-current market rates upon the agreement of both parties.
	Rates for services performed on a spot market basis are based on an agreed-upon hourly spot market rate. The Company may also charge fees for setup and mobilization of equipment depending on the job, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and materials that are consumed during the fracturing process. Generally, these fees and other charges vary depending on the equipment and personnel required for the job and market conditions in the region in which the services are performed.
	Coiled Tubing and Other Well Stimulation Revenue. The Company enters into arrangements to provide coiled tubing and other well stimulation services, primarily including nitrogen, pressure pumping and thru-tubing services. Jobs for these services are typically short-term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. Revenue is recognized upon completion of each day’s work based upon a completed field ticket. The field ticket includes charges for the mobilization of the equipment to the location, the service performed, the personnel on the job, additional equipment used on the job, if any, and miscellaneous consumables used throughout the course of the service. The Company typically charges the customer for these services on an hourly basis at agreed-upon spot market rates.
	Revenue from Materials Consumed While Performing Services. The Company generates revenue from chemicals and proppants that are consumed while performing hydraulic fracturing services. For services performed on a spot market basis, the necessary chemicals and proppants are typically provided by the Company and the customer is billed for those materials at cost plus an agreed-upon markup. For services performed on a contractual basis, when the chemicals and proppants are provided by the Company, the customer is billed for those materials at a negotiated contractual rate. When chemicals and proppants are supplied by the customer, the Company typically charges handling fees based on the amount of chemicals and proppants used.
	In addition, ancillary to coiled tubing and other well stimulation services revenue, the Company generates revenue from various fluids and supplies that are necessarily consumed during those processes.
	Wireline Revenue. Wireline revenue is generated from the performance of cased-hole wireline and other complementary services, including logging, perforating, pipe recovery, pressure testing and pumpdown services. These jobs are typically short-term in nature, lasting anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. Revenue is recognized when the services and equipment are provided and the job is completed. The Company typically charges the customer on a per job basis for these services at agreed-upon spot market rates.
	Equipment Manufacturing Revenue. The Company enters into arrangements to construct new equipment, refurbish and repair equipment and provide oilfield parts and supplies to third-party customers in the energy services industry. Revenue is recognized and the customer is invoiced upon the completion and delivery of each order to the customer.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Stock-Based Compensation. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans provide the ability to grant equity awards to officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors. As of December 31, 2013, only nonqualified stock options and restricted stock had been granted under such plans. The Company values option grants based on the grant date fair value by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and values restricted stock grants based on the closing price of C&J’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements and the related accounting treatment can be found in “Note 6 – Stock-Based Compensation.”
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The carrying value of long-term debt and capital lease obligations approximate their fair value, as the interest rates approximate market rates.
Equity Method Investments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Equity Method Investments. During 2013, the Company made an investment in a joint venture which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the joint venture. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company’s share of undistributed earnings and losses of these investments. The Company eliminates all significant intercompany transactions, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees, from the consolidated financial results.
	The carrying value of this equity method investment at December 31, 2013 was $2.8 million and is included in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the net loss from the unconsolidated affiliate was approximately $160,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and is included in other expense, net, on the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.
	The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In assessing the likelihood and extent that deferred tax assets will be realized, consideration is given to projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
	The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Previously recognized tax positions are reversed in the first period in which it is no longer more-likely-than-not that the tax position would be sustained upon examination. Income tax related interest and penalties, if applicable, are recorded as a component of the provision for income tax expense. However, there were no amounts recognized relating to interest and penalties in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2013.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock (“common shares”) outstanding during the applicable period and excludes shares subject to outstanding stock options and shares of restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus, when their effect is dilutive, incremental shares consisting of shares subject to outstanding stock options and restricted stock.
	The following is a reconciliation of the components of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the applicable periods:
