Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Superior Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. Business The Company provides a wide variety of services and products to the energy industry. The Company serves major, national and independent oil and natural gas companies around the world and offers products and services with respect to the various phases of a well’s economic life cycle. The Company reports its operating results in four business segments: Drilling Products and Services; Onshore Completion and Workover Services; Production Services; and Technical Solutions. The Company also provides supplemental segment revenue information in three geographic areas: U.S. land; U.S. offshore; and International. Chapter 11 Cases  Chapter 11 Accounting The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared as if we were a going concern and in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 852 - Reorganizations. Weak industry conditions in 2020 negatively impacted Superior Energy Services, Inc.’s (the Former Parent, which is now known as SESI Holdings, Inc.) results of operations and cash flows and may continue to do so in the future. In order to decrease the Former Parent’s level of indebtedness and maintain the Former Parent’s liquidity at levels sufficient to meet its commitments, the Former Parent undertook a number of actions, including minimizing capital expenditures and further reducing its recurring operating expenses. The Former Parent believed that even after taking these actions, it would not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy its debt service obligations and meet its other financial obligations. As a result, on December 7, 2020 (the Petition Date) the Affiliate Debtors (as defined in Note 2 – Chapter 11 Reorganization) filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code). On February 2, 2021 (the Effective Date), the conditions to effectiveness of the proposed Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the Plan) were satisfied or waived and the Company emerged from bankruptcy .  Restructuring expenses Any expenses, gains and losses that are realized or incurred before the Petition Date and in relation to the Chapter 11 proceedings are recorded under restructuring expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Restructuring expenses were $ 47.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which primarily consisted of professional fees related to the Chapter 11 proceedings and the RSA premium paid to noteholders that were party to the restructuring support agreement with the Former Parent.  Reorganization expenses The Former Parent incurred costs after the Petition Date associated with the reorganization, primarily unamortized debt issuance costs, expenses related to rejected leases and postpetition professional fees. In accordance with applicable guidance, costs associated with the bankruptcy proceedings have been recorded as reorganization items within the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. Reorganization expenses were $ 21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 , with $ 1.6 million and $ 1.0 million representing cash used in financing and operating activities, respectively, during 2020. Reorganization expenses were $ 21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which consisted of: December 31, 2020 7.125% Senior unsecured notes - unamortized debt issuance costs $ 2,160 7.750% Senior unsecured notes - unamortized debt issuance costs 5,644 Credit facility - unamortized debt issuance costs 2,172 Debtor in possession credit facility costs 1,554 Rejected leases 8,601 Professional fees 1,485 Total $ 21,616  Liabilities subject to compromise Prepetition unsecured and under-secured obligations that may be impacted by the Chapter 11 Cases have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. These liabilities are reported at the amounts allowed as claims by the Bankruptcy Court. Liabilities subject to compromise as of December 31, 2020 were $ 1,335.8 million, which consisted of: December 31, 2020 7.125% Senior unsecured notes due 2021 $ 800,000 7.750% Senior unsecured notes due 2024 500,000 Accrued interest on senior notes 35,794 Total $ 1,335,794 The principal balance on the 7.125 % senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the 7.125 % Notes) and the 7.750 % senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the 7.750 % Notes) of $ 800.0 million and $ 500.0 million, respectively, has been reclassified from long-term debt to liabilities subject to compromise as of December 31, 2020. See also Note 6 - Debt for further details. Accrued interest on the 7.125% Notes and the 7.750 % Notes, respectively, was also reclassified from accrued expenses to liabilities subject to compromise as of December 31, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make significant 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk The majority of the Company’s business is conducted with major and independent oil and gas companies. The Company evaluates the financial strength of its customers and provides allowances for probable credit losses when deemed necessary. The market for the Company’s services and products is the oil and gas industry in the U.S. land and Gulf of Mexico areas and select international market areas. Oil and gas companies make capital expenditures on exploration, development and production operations. The level of these expenditures historically has been characterized by significant volatility. The Company derives a large amount of revenue from a small number of major and independent oil and gas companies. There were no customers that exceeded 10% of the Former Parent’s total revenues in 2020, 2019 or 2018. The Company’s assets that are potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. The financial institutions in which the Company transacts business are large, investment grade financial institutions which are “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory capital adequacy guidelines , thereby minimizing it s exposure to credit risks for deposits in excess of federally insured amounts. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable and Allowances Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount or the earned amount but not yet invoiced and do not bear interest. The Company maintains allowances for estimated uncollectible receivables, including bad debts and other items. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s best estimate of probable uncollectible amounts in existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and specific identification. Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company applies net realizable value and obsolescence to the gross value of the inventory. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out or weighted-average cost methods for finished goods and work-in-process. Supplies and consumables consist principally of products used in the Company’s services provided to its customers. The components of inventory balances are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Finished goods $ 44,123 $ 45,127 Raw materials 11,345 16,130 Work-in-process 6,185 9,360 Supplies and consumables 25,070 33,322 Total $ 86,723 $ 103,939 Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, except for assets for which reduction in value is recorded during the period and assets acquired using purchase accounting, which are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Buildings and improvements 5 to 40 years Machinery and equipment 2 to 25 years Automobiles, trucks, tractors and trailers 3 to 10 years Furniture and fixtures 2 to 10 years Reduction in Value 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 amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of such assets to their fair value calculated, in part, by the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Cash flow estimates are based upon, among other things, historical results adjusted to reflect the best estimate of future market rates, utilization levels, and operating performance. Estimates of cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, changes in economic conditions or changes in an asset’s operating performance. Assets are grouped by subsidiary or division for the impairment testing, which represent the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If the asset grouping’s fair value is less than the carrying amount of those items, impairment losses are recorded in the amount by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The net carrying value of assets not fully recoverable is reduced to fair value. The estimate of fair value represents the best estimate based on industry trends and reference to market transactions and is subject to variability. The oil and gas industry is cyclical and estimates of the period over which future cash flows will be generated, as well as the predictability of these cash flows, can have a significant impact on the carrying values of these assets and, in periods of prolonged down cycles, may result in impairment charges. See note 12 for a discussion of the reduction in value of long-lived assets recorded during 2020, 2019 and 2018. The bankruptcy filings on the Petition Date required an assessment whether the carrying amounts of our long-lived assets would be recoverable. Management’s evaluation indicated that no additional impairment was necessary as a direct result of the bankruptcy filings. Goodwill The following table summarizes the Company’s goodwill (in thousands): Drilling Products and Services Total Balance, December 31, 2018 $ 136,788 $ 136,788 Foreign currency translation adjustment 907 907 Balance, December 31, 2019 137,695 137,695 Foreign currency translation adjustment 982 982 Balance, December 31, 2020 $ 138,677 $ 138,677 The Company performs the goodwill impairment test on an annual basis as of October 1 or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, which is consistent with the reporting segments. The Company assesses whether any indicators of impairment exist, which requires a significant amount of judgment. Such indicators may include a sustained decrease in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization; a decline in the expected future cash flows; overall weakness in the industry; and slower growth rates. Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is below the carrying value. In estimating the fair value of the reporting units, the Company uses a combination of an income approach and a market-based approach.  Income approach – The Company discounts the expected cash flows of each reporting unit. The discount rate used represents the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk involved in the Company’s operations and cash flows and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.  Market-based approach – The Company uses the guideline public company method, which focuses on comparing the Company’s risk profile and growth prospects to select reasonably similar publicly traded companies. The Company weights the income approach 80 % and the market-based approach 20 % due to differences between the Company’s reporting units and the peer companies’ size, profitability and diversity of operations. In order to validate the reasonableness of the estimated fair values obtained for the reporting units, a reconciliation of fair value to market value of invested capital is performed on the aggregate fair value of the reporting units. A control premium, derived from market transaction data, is used in this reconciliation to ensure that fair values are reasonably stated in conjunction with the Company’s capitalization. The Company uses all available information to estimate fair value of the reporting units, including discounted cash flows. A significant amount of judgment was involved in performing these evaluations given that the results are based on estimated future events. During the third quarter of 2020, the Former Parent entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the RSA) with holders of approximately 69.2 % of the 7.125% Notes and the 7.750% Notes. Entry into the RSA, along with changing industry conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event that required the Former Parent to perform an interim goodwill impairment review as of September 30, 2020. The result of the goodwill impairment assessment indicated that the fair value of the Drilling Products and Services segment exceeded its net book value and, therefore, no goodwill impairment was recorded. Based on the timing of the third quarter test, along with an increase in sequential revenues and the improving business environment during the fourth quarter of 2020, the Former Parent determined that no impairment exists as of the annual test date of October 1, 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the industry climate deteriorated rapidly due to the dramatic decline in crude oil prices and the related large sell-off in the equity markets for issuers in the energy industry. As a result of the adverse changes in the business environment that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2018 and a review of the Former Parent’s expected near-term cash flows from operations, the Former Parent reviewed the goodwill for impairment. It was concluded that at December 31, 2018, the Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment’s goodwill of $ 583.6 million and the Production Services segment’s goodwill of $ 85.3 million were fully impaired. The fair value of the Drilling Products and Services segment was substantially in excess of its carrying value. See note 12 for a discussion of the reduction in value of goodwill recorded during 2018. As of each of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Former Parent’s accumulated reduction in value of goodwill was $ 2,417.1 million. Notes Receivable The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Wild Well Control, Inc., has decommissioning obligations related to its ownership of a single oil and gas property and related assets. Notes receivable consist of a commitment from the seller of the property’s sole platform towards its eventual abandonment. Pursuant to an agreement with the seller, the Company will invoice the seller $ 115 million at the completion of decommissioning activities. This obligation was recorded at present value using an effective interest rate of 6.58 %. The related discount is amortized to interest income based on the expected timing of the platform’s removal. The Former Parent recorded interest income related to notes receivable of $ 4.5 million, $ 4.2 million and $ 3.9 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Restricted Cash Restricted cash primarily represents cash held in a collateral account for the payment and performance of secured obligations including the reimbursement of letters of credit. Additionally, we hold cash in escrow to secure the future decommissioning obligations related to the oil and gas property. Intangible and Other Long-Term Assets Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Estimated Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net Useful Lives Amount Amortization Balance Amount Amortization Balance Customer relationships 17 years $ 14,592 $ ( 10,077 ) $ 4,515 $ 19,902 $ ( 14,680 ) $ 5,222 Tradenames 10 years 9,045 ( 6,270 ) 2,775 8,907 ( 5,413 ) 3,494 Non-compete agreements 3 years 3,478 ( 3,478 ) - 3,464 ( 3,106 ) 358 Total $ 27,115 $ ( 19,825 ) $ 7,290 $ 32,273 $ ( 23,199 ) $ 9,074 Amortization expense was $ 1.8 million, $ 2.1 million and $ 5.6 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Based on the carrying values of intangible assets at December 31, 2020, amortization expense for the next five years (2021 through 2025) is estimated to be $ 1.0 million per year. During 2019, the Company recorded $ 7.6 million of expense related to the reduction in carrying values of intangibles in the Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment (see note 12). Decommissioning Liabilities The Company’s decommissioning liabilities associated with the oil and gas property and its related assets consist of costs related to the plugging of wells, the removal of the related platform and equipment, and site restoration. The Company reviews the adequacy of its decommissioning liabilities whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows and/or relating timing needed to satisfy the liability have changed materially. The following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s decommissioning liabilities (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Balance at beginning of period $ 136,281 $ 130,096 Accretion 6,945 6,332 Liabilities settled ( 480 ) ( 147 ) Balance at end of period $ 142,746 $ 136,281 Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes and the related accounts under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and rates that are in effect when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on the deferred income taxes is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs. A valuation allowance is recorded when management believes it is more likely than not that at least some portion of any deferred tax asset will not be realized. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and conversion of restricted stock units. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Former Parent incurred losses from continuing operations; as such, the impact of any incremental shares would be anti-dilutive. Foreign Currency Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated using average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates, and the resulting translation adjustments are reported as accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company’s stockholders’ equity. For international subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, financial statements are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the historical exchange rate for most of the long-term assets and liabilities and the balance sheet date exchange rate for most of the current assets and liabilities. An average exchange rate is used for each period for revenues and expenses. These transaction gains and losses, as well as any other transactions in a currency other than the functional currency, are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the currency exchange rates change. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Former Parent recorded foreign currency losses of $ 8.9 million, $ 0.8 million and $ 1.9 million, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company records compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions and includes such costs in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). Self-Insurance Reserves The Company is self-insured, through deductibles and retentions, up to certain levels for losses under its insurance programs. The Company accrues for these liabilities based on estimates of the ultimate cost of claims incurred as of the balance sheet date. The Company regularly reviews the estimates of asserted and unasserted claims and provides for losses through reserves. The Company obtains actuarial reviews to evaluate the reasonableness of internal estimates for losses related to workers’ compensation, auto liability and group medical on an annual basis. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Loses on Financial Instruments. This update improves financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope by using the Current Expected Credit Losses model (CECL). The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses on financial instruments at the time the asset is originated or acquired. This update will apply to receivables arising from revenue transactions. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023. The Company has concluded that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis with respect to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing the following exceptions: (1) the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items; (2) the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment; (3) the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary; and (40 the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The update also (1) requires an entity to recognize a franchise tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax; (2) requires an entity to evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction; (3) specifies that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidate amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements; (4) requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date; and (5) makes minor Codification improvements for income taxes related to employee stock ownership plans. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is evaluating the effect ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements. Subsequent Events In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company has evaluated and disclosed all material subsequent events that occurred after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements were issued .

Chapter 11 Reorganization [Abstract]
Chapter 11 Reorganization	(2) Chapter 11 Reorganization On the Petition Date, the Former Parent and certain of its direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (collectively with the Former Parent, the Affiliate Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the Chapter 11 Cases) under the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division (the Bankruptcy Court) and, in connection therewith, the Affiliate Debtors filed the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court. On January 19, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming and approving the Plan (the Confirmation Order). As part of the transactions undertaken pursuant to the Plan, the Former Parent’s equity interests existing and outstanding prior to the Effective Date were cancelled. The record holders of certain of the 7.125 % Notes and 7.750 % Notes were deemed to have contributed all of the allowed prepetition notes claims described in the Plan against the Affiliate Debtors in exchange for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (the Class A Common Stock). As a result, effective as of the Effective Date, the entity now known as Superior Energy Services, Inc., became the successor reporting company to the Former Parent pursuant to Rule 15d-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Executory Contracts and Leases On January 19, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Former Parent’s motion to reject certain executory contracts, which were comprised entirely of corporate guarantees. Upon the rejection of these contracts, the counterparties were included in the general unsecured claims category, of which they are to receive a pro rata share based on their allowed claim of a $ 125,000 cash payment. On this same date, the Bankruptcy Court also approved the rejection of seven leases. Upon their rejection, the Company reclassified the associated lease liabilities to Liabilities subject to compromise at their allowed claim or settlement amount, with any difference recorded to Reorganization items. Credit Facility On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Former Parent entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders and letter of credit issuers named therein providing for a $ 120.0 million asset-based secured revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility), as further described in Note 6 herein. Stockholders Agreement On the Effective Date, in order to implement certain transactions contemplated by the Plan, the Company entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the Stockholders Agreement), to provide for certain governance matters. Other than obligations related to Confidential Information (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), the rights and preferences of each stockholder under the Stockholders Agreement will terminate when such stockholder ceases to own shares of the Class A Common Stock. Senior Notes As part of the transactions undertaken pursuant to the Plan, the record holders of certain of the 7.125% Notes and the 7.750% Notes contributed all of their allowed claims described in the Plan in exchange for either (i) a cash payout to be entirely funded by an equity rights offering in connection with the Plan discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the Equity Rights Offering), or (ii) shares of the Class A Common Stock. On the Effective Date, all outstanding obligations under the 7.125 % Notes and the 7.750 % Notes, were cancelled, and the applicable agreements governing such obligations were terminated . Furthermore, all existing shares of common stock of the Former Parent were cancelled pursuant to the Plan, and the Company is in the process of issuing shares of the Class A Common Stock to such noteholders, subject to dilution on account of the Class B Common Stock to be issued to the Company’s management under a management equity incentive plan. The Class A Common Stock issued to such holders is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code (which generally exempts from such registration requirements the issuance of securities under a plan of reorganization). By the Effective Date, the Company completed the Equity Rights Offering in accordance with the Plan, which resulted in the issuance of 735,189 shares of Class A Common Stock to accredited cash opt-out noteholders as described in the Plan. The Class A Common Stock issued to the accredited cash opt-out noteholders in the Equity Rights Offering was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The proceeds of approximately $ 952 thousand from the Equity Rights Offering were used entirely to fund the proceeds provided to the cash opt-in noteholders. DDTL Commitment Letter On the Effective Date, that certain Commitment Letter, dated as of September 29, 2020 (the DDTL Commitment Letter), with certain consenting noteholders terminated in accordance with its terms upon the effectiveness of the Credit Facility without the establishment of a delayed-draw term loan facility. Change in Control On the Effective Date, all previously issued and outstanding equity interests in the Company were cancelled. The Company issued Class A Common Stock to Equity Rights Offering participants and holders of allowed claims arising under the Prepetition Notes (in each case subject to dilution on account of the Class B Common Stock to be issued to management pursuant to the Plan.

Revenue [Abstract]
Revenue	(3) Revenue Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with contractual terms, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for services rendered, rentals provided and products sold. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities and revenues are reported on a net basis in the Company’s financial statements. Performance Obligations A performance obligation arises under contracts with customers and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The Company accounts for services rendered and rentals provided separately if they are distinct and the service or rental is separately identifiable from other items provided to a customer and if a customer can benefit from the services rendered or rentals provided on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. A contract’s standalone selling prices are determined based on the prices that the Company charges for its services rendered, rentals provided and products sold. The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, which is generally represented by a period of 30 days or less. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type of products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when the payment is due is typically 30 days. Services revenue: primarily represents amounts charged to customers for the completion of services rendered, including labor, products and supplies necessary to perform the service. Rates for these services vary depending on the type of services provided and can be based on a per job, per hour or per day basis. Rentals revenue : primarily priced on a per day, per man hour or similar basis and consists of fees charged to customers for use of the Company’s rental equipment over the term of the rental period, which is generally less than twelve months. Product sales: products are generally sold based upon purchase orders or contracts within the Company’s customers that include fixed or determinable prices but do not include right of return provisions or other significant post-delivery obligations. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when title passes to the customer, the customer assumes risks and rewards of ownership, collectability is reasonably assured and delivery occurs as directed by the customer. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. Disaggregation of revenue The following table presents the Company’s revenues by segment disaggregated by geography (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 U.S. land Drilling Products and Services $ 78,537 $ 178,345 $ 176,448 Onshore Completion and Workover Services 130,798 341,297 406,248 Production Services 61,532 138,300 195,363 Technical Solutions 18,652 40,363 31,137 Total U.S. land $ 289,519 $ 698,305 $ 809,196 U.S. offshore Drilling Products and Services $ 112,583 $ 125,104 $ 100,855 Onshore Completion and Workover Services - - - Production Services 37,478 73,610 66,512 Technical Solutions 83,519 141,851 160,507 Total U.S. offshore $ 233,580 $ 340,565 $ 327,874 International Drilling Products and Services $ 90,277 $ 108,124 $ 106,416 Onshore Completion and Workover Services - - - Production Services 177,319 193,920 156,650 Technical Solutions 60,612 84,455 78,721 Total International $ 328,208 $ 386,499 $ 341,787 Total Revenues $ 851,307 $ 1,425,369 $ 1,478,857 The following table presents the Company’s revenues by segment disaggregated by type (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Services Drilling Products and Services $ 45,226 $ 69,958 $ 54,997 Onshore Completion and Workover Services 118,948 303,542 364,500 Production Services 215,812 348,168 352,590 Technical Solutions 87,562 163,584 160,942 Total Services $ 467,548 $ 885,252 $ 933,029 Rentals Drilling Products and Services $ 198,725 $ 291,975 $ 281,750 Onshore Completion and Workover Services 11,850 37,755 41,748 Production Services 21,462 32,402 36,568 Technical Solutions 9,195 14,115 20,230 Total Rentals $ 241,232 $ 376,247 $ 380,296 Product Sales Drilling Products and Services $ 37,446 $ 49,640 $ 46,972 Onshore Completion and Workover Services - - - Production Services 39,055 25,260 29,367 Technical Solutions 66,026 88,970 89,193 Total Product Sales $ 142,527 $ 163,870 $ 165,532 Total Revenues $ 851,307 $ 1,425,369 $ 1,478,857

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	(4) Leases Adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and used the effective date as the date of initial application. Therefore, prior period financial information has not been adjusted and continues to be reflected in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy. The standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. The standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which, among other things, allows the Company to carry forward its historical lease classification. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $ 100.0 million as of January 1, 2019, with no related impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of equity or consolidated statement of operations. Short-term leases have not been recorded on the balance sheet. Accounting Policy for Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases and are included in ROU assets, accounts payable and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Overview The Company’s operating leases are primarily for real estate, machinery and equipment, and vehicles. Prior period financial information has not been adjusted and continues to be reflected in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy. The terms and conditions for these leases vary by the type of underlying asset. Total operating lease expense was as follows (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Long-term fixed lease expense $ 22,855 $ 33,577 $ 33,642 Long-term variable lease expense 385 406 749 Short-term lease expense 10,482 17,670 14,367 Total operating lease expense $ 33,722 $ 51,653 $ 48,758 Supplemental Balance Sheet Information Operating leases were as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Operating lease ROU assets $ 50,192 $ 80,906 Accrued expenses $ 18,491 $ 21,072 Operating lease liabilities 40,258 62,354 Total operating lease liabilities $ 58,749 $ 83,426 Weighted average remaining lease term 9 years 9 years Weighted average discount rate 6.35 % 6.75 % Cash paid for operating leases $ 26,949 $ 34,207 ROU assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations $ 4,206 $ 20,200 Maturities of operating lease liabilities at December 31, 2020 are as follows (in thousands): 2021 $ 22,310 2022 14,534 2023 10,997 2024 8,276 2025 5,528 Thereafter 23,172 Total lease payments 84,817 Less imputed interest ( 26,068 ) Total $ 58,749

Debt [Abstract]
Debt	(6) Debt The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default with respect to the Prepetition Credit Facility (defined below) and the 7.125 % Notes and 7.750 % Notes. The enforcement of any obligations under the prepetition debt was automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases throughout 2020. On the Effective Date, obligations under these notes, including principal and accrued interest, were fully extinguished in exchange for equity in the post-emergence Company. In addition, upon emergence the Credit Facility was entered, as described in “Note 2—Chapter 11 Reorganization.” Reclassification of Debt The balances outstanding under the Former Parent’s 7.125 % Notes and 7.750 % Notes were classified as liabilities subject to compromise on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2020. Prepetition Indebtedness: The Former Parent’s outstanding debt was as follows (in thousands) for the periods indicated: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Stated Interest Rate (%) Long-term Senior unsecured notes due September 2024 7.750 $ 500,000 $ 500,000 Senior unsecured notes due December 2021 7.125 800,000 800,000 Total debt, gross 1,300,000 1,300,000 Reclassification to liabilities subject to compromise ( 1,300,000 ) - Unamortized debt issuance costs - ( 13,371 ) Total debt, net $ - $ 1,286,629 Debt maturities presented as of December 31, 2020 were as follows (in thousands): 2021 $ 800,000 2022 - 2023 - 2024 500,000 2025 - Thereafter - Total $ 1,300,000 Credit Facility Prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Former Parent had an asset-based revolving credit facility (the Prepetition Credit Facility) which matured in October 2022. The enforcement of any obligations under the Prepetition Credit Facility was automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases throughout 2020. Upon commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, all amounts outstanding under the Prepetition Credit Facility became outstanding under the DIP Credit Facility (defined below). The borrowing base under the Prepetition Credit Facility was calculated based on a formula referencing the borrower’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible premium rental drill pipe less reserves. Availability under the Prepetition Credit Facility was the lesser of (i) the commitments, (ii) the borrowing base and (iii) the highest principal amount permitted to be secured under the indenture governing the 7.125 % Notes. Senior Unsecured Notes The indenture governing the 7.750 % Notes required semi-annual interest payments on March 15 and September 15 of each year through the maturity date of September 15, 2024. The indenture contained customary events of default and required satisfaction of various covenants. The indenture governing the 7.125 % Notes required semi-annual interest payments on June 15 and December 15 of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2021. The indenture contained customary events of default and required satisfaction of various covenants. The enforcement of any obligations under the prepetition debt was automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases throughout 2020. Postpetition Indebtedness: DIP Credit Facility In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Affiliate Debtors filed a motion for approval of a debtor-in-possession financing facility, and on December 8, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved such motion and entered into an order approving the financings (the DIP Order). In accordance with the DIP Order, on December 9, 2020, the Former Parent, as guarantor and SESI, as borrower, entered into a $120 million Senior Secured Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the DIP Credit Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. On the effective date of the DIP Credit Facility, all of the outstanding undrawn letters of credit under the Prepetition Credit Facility were deemed outstanding under the DIP Credit Facility. Credit Facility On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, the Former Parent, as guarantor and SESI, as borrower, entered into the Credit Facility providing for a $ 120.0 million asset-based secured revolving credit facility, which is available for the issuing of letters of credit. The Credit Facility will mature on December 9, 2024. The borrowing base under the Credit Facility will be determined by reference to SESI’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ (i) eligible accounts receivable, (ii) eligible inventory, (iii) solely during the period from the Effective Date until the earlier of December 9, 2022 and the date that unrestricted cash of the Former Parent and its wholly- owned subsidiaries is less than $ 75 million, eligible premium rental drill pipe and (iv) so long as there are no loans outstanding at such time, certain cash of SESI’s and the subsidiary guarantors, less reserves established by the administrative agent in its permitted discretion. Availability under the Credit Facility at any time will be the lesser of (i) the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility and (ii) the borrowing base at such time. As of the Effective Date, the borrowing base under the Credit Facility was approximately $ 95.0 million (excluding Eligible Cash as defined in the Credit Facility), and may increase or decrease as a result of, among other things, changes in the Former Parent’s and its subsidiaries’ accounts receivable and inventory. The liquidity position is further supported by approximately $ 242 million in total cash as of the Effective Date (with $ 72 million held by non-guarantors). Subject to certain conditions, upon request and with the consent of the participating lenders, the total commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased to $ 170.0 million. SESI’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Former Parent and all of SESI’s material domestic subsidiaries, and secured by substantially all of the Former Parent’s, SESI’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ assets, other than real property. On the Effective Date, the Credit Facility replaced the previous DIP Credit Facility, and approximately $ 46.6 million of undrawn letters of credit issued under the DIP Credit Facility were deemed issued under the Credit Facility. All accrued and unpaid fees and other amounts thereunder were paid in full as well. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest, at SESI’s option, at either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.00 % to 3.50 % per annum, or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00 % to 2.50 % per annum, in each case on the basis of the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, SESI is required to pay (i) a letter of credit fee ranging from 3.00 % to 3.50 % per annum on the basis of the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio on the aggregate face amount of all outstanding letters of credit,(ii) to the issuing lender of each letter of credit, a fronting fee of no less than 0.25 % per annum on the outstanding amount of each such letter of credit and (iii) commitment fees of 0.50 % per annum on the daily unused amount of the Credit Facility, in each case quarterly in arrears. The Credit Facility contains various covenants requiring compliance, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, permitted investments, liens on assets, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements. The Credit Facility requires compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 if (a) an event of default has occurred and is continuing or (b) availability under the Credit Facility is less than the greater of $ 20.0 million or 15 % of the lesser of the aggregate commitments and the borrowing base. The covenant and other restrictions of the Credit Facility significantly restrict our ability to incur borrowings other than letters of credit.

Stock-Based And Long-Term Incentive Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-Based And Long-Term Incentive Compensation	(7) Stock-Based and Long-Term Incentive Compensation As discussed in “Note 2—Chapter 11 Reorganization,” on the Effective Date and pursuant to the terms of the Plan, all of the Former Parent’s common stock (and any share-based compensation based on such common stock) was canceled. The Former Parent's share-based compensation plans were also terminated on the Effective Date. Accordingly, the following discussion relates solely to the Former Parent’s share-based compensation plan and share-based compensation issued and outstanding prior to such cancellation. On September 28, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Former Parent approved the implementation of a Key Employee Retention Program (the KERP), which was designed to retain key employees in their current roles over the near term while providing them with financial stability. The KERP payments were in lieu of any outstanding unvested awards under the Former Parent’s long-term equity-based incentive plans (other than any cash-based performance units (which we refer to as PSUs) granted in 2018 and 2019) and any 2020 annual bonuses that would otherwise be payable to the KERP participants. The KERP provided for one-time retention payments equal to approximately $ 7.3 million in the aggregate to the six executive officers of the Company, including its named executive officers. The KERP further provided for approximately $ 2.4 million of retention payments to other non-executive employees. In 2020, the Former Parent was authorized to grant restricted stock units, stock options, performance share units and other cash and stock awards as part of its Long-Term Incentive Program (LTIP). Total stock-based compensation expense and the associated tax benefits are as follows (in thousands): Years ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Stock options $ 94 $ 2,743 $ 4,247 Restricted stock units 4,144 15,716 19,828 Cash restricted stock units ( 56 ) 298 - Cash-based PSUs ( 1,554 ) 935 6,912 Total compensation expense 2,628 19,692 30,987 Related income taxes 610 4,569 7,189 Total compensation expense, net of income taxes $ 2,018 $ 15,123 $ 23,798 Total stock-based compensation expense is reflected in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Stock Options The Former Parent’s stock option grants generally vested in equal installments over three years and expired in ten years from the grant date. Non-vested stock options were generally forfeited upon termination of employment. Compensation expense for stock option grants was recognized based on the fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Historical data, among other factors, was used to estimate the expected volatility and the expected life of the stock options. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected life of the stock option. The dividend yield was based on our historical and projected dividend payouts. The Former Parent did no t grant any stock options during the year ended December 31, 2020. The weighted average fair values of stock options granted in 2019 and 2018, and the assumptions used in estimating those fair values were as follows: Years ended December 31, 2019 2018 Weighted average fair value of stock options granted $ 24.60 $ 56.12 Black-Scholes-Merton Assumptions: Risk free interest rate 2.57 % 2.43 Expected life (years) 6 6 Volatility 56.62 % 51.21 The following table summarizes stock option activity for 2020: Number of Options Weighted Average Option Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding at beginning of period 669,360 $ 169.11 4.7 $ - Granted - $ - Exercised - $ - Forfeited ( 56,056 ) $ 63.18 Expired ( 145,057 ) $ 249.23 Outstanding at end of period 468,247 $ 156.97 4.5 $ - Exercisable at end of period 468,247 $ 156.97 4.5 $ - Options expected to vest at end of period - $ - - $ - There were no t any stock option exercises during the past three years. As of December 31, 2020, all stock options were fully vested. The Chapter 11 Cases resulted in the cancellation of the stock options. Restricted Stock Units RSUs granted as part of the Former Parent’s LTIP generally vested in equal annual installments over three years . On the vesting date, each RSU would be converted to one share of common stock having an aggregate value determined by the closing stock price on the vesting date. Holders of RSUs were not entitled to any rights of a stockholder, such as the right to vote shares. The following table summarizes RSU activity for 2020. All KERP participants surrendered their RSU awards as a condition to participation in the KERP: Number of RSUs Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Non-vested at beginning of period 413,966 $ 78.32 Granted - $ - Vested ( 149,529 ) $ 93.11 Forfeited ( 130,201 ) $ 59.33 Non-vested at end of period 134,236 $ 80.27 At December 31, 2020, there were $ 1.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs, which the Company expects to recognize in the first quarter of 2021, upon reflecting the cancellation of these awards as part of the Plan. Liability-Classified Awards Performance Share Units In 2020, as part of the Former Parent’s LTIP, PSUs were issued providing for a three year performance period. The 2020 PSU grants were surrendered as a condition to participation in the KERP. At December 31, 2020, there were 210,398 PSUs outstanding ( 96,522 and 113,876 related to performance periods ending December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively). Both current and long-term liabilities for this liability-based compensation award have been recorded. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) terminated in accordance with its terms in 2019. In 2019 and prior years, eligible employees were allowed to purchase shares of the Former Parent’s common stock at a discount during six month offering periods beginning on January 1st and July 1st of each year and ending on June 30 and December 31 of each year, respectively. The following table summarizes ESPP activity during 2019 and 2018 (in thousands except shares): Years ended December 31, 2019 2018 Cash received for shares issued $ 689 $ 2,625 Compensation expense $ 122 $ 463 Shares issued 532,292 550,950 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan The Company maintains a defined contribution profit sharing plan for employees who have satisfied minimum service requirements. Employees may contribute up to 75 % of their eligible earnings to the plan subject to the contribution limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company provides a nondiscretionary match of 100 % of an employee’s contributions to the plan, up to 4 % of the employee’s salary. The Former Parent made contributions of $ 6.2 million, $ 10.5 million and $ 10.0 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan which allows senior management to defer up to 75 % of their base salary, up to 100 % of their bonus, up to 100 % of the cash portion of their PSU compensation and up to 100 % of the vested RSUs to the plan. The Company also maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for its non-employee directors which allows each director to defer up to 100 % of their cash compensation paid by the Company. Payments are made to participants based on their annual enrollment elections and plan balances. The following table summarizes deferred compensation balances (in thousands): December 31, Balance sheet location 2020 2019 Deferred compensation assets Intangible and other long-term assets, net $ 15,013 $ 15,499 Deferred compensation liabilities, short-term Accounts payable $ 2,869 $ 1,372 Deferred compensation liabilities, long-term Other long-term liabilities $ 20,697 $ 23,466 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan The Company has a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP). The SERP provides retirement benefits to the Company’s executive officers and certain other designated key employees. The SERP is an unfunded, non-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, and all contributions under the plan are unfunded credits to a notional account maintained for each participant. Prior to January 1, 2020, under the SERP, the Former Parent made annual contributions to a retirement account based on age and years of service. The participants in the plan received contributions ranging from 5 % to 35 % of salary and annual cash bonus, which totaled $ 0 million, $ 1.1 million and $ 1.2 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Former Parent paid $ 0 , $ 2.3 million and $ 0 , respectively, to eligible participants in the SERP.

Cancellation of indebtedness income resulting from such restructuring transactions may significantly reduce the Company’s tax attributes, including but not limited to net operating loss carryforwards. Further, the Company experienced an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), upon confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court which will subject certain remaining tax attributes to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code. On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act), a tax relief and spending package intended to provide economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act allows corporations with net operating losses generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to elect to carryback those losses for a period of five years and relaxes the limitation for business interest deductions for 2019 and 2020. Under the provisions of the CARES Act, the Former Parent received a refund of $ 30.5 million in July 2020 related to the carryback of the 2018 net operating loss and received a refund of $ 8.2 million in February 2021 related to the carryback of the 2019 net operating loss. During 2018, the Former Parent recorded a $ 668.9 million reduction in value of goodwill relating to its Onshore Completion and Workover Services and Production Services segments. For tax purposes, the goodwill impairment generated a reduction to the permanent book-tax basis difference of $ 548.8 million and a reduction to the book-tax temporary basis difference of $ 102.0 million net of current year amortization expense of $ 18.0 million. The 2018 effective tax rate was significantly impacted by the permanent adjustment related to the reduction in value of assets caused by the goodwill impairment. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 1,713 $ 1,291 Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards 150,426 136,647 Compensation and employee benefits 27,625 35,532 Decommissioning liabilities 30,960 29,405 Operating leases 2,792 1,002 Other 34,578 24,903 248,094 228,780 Valuation allowance ( 139,106 ) ( 84,741 ) Net deferred tax assets 108,988 144,039 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment 69,510 114,024 Notes receivable 12,977 12,977 Goodwill and other intangible assets 23,920 20,285 Other 7,869 - Deferred tax liabilities 114,276 147,286 Net deferred tax liability $ 5,288 $ 3,247 At December 31, 2020, the Former Parent had $ 274 million in U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to reduce future taxable income. The expiration date for utilization of the U.S. loss carryforwards is 2037 for losses generated before 2018. Losses generated after 2017 have an indefinite carryforward that is limited to 80 % of taxable income each year. At December 31, 2020, the Former Parent also had various state net operating loss carryforwards with expiration dates from 2020 to 2038. A net deferred tax asset of $ 15.4 million reflects the expected future tax benefit for the state loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2020, the Former Parent also had a U.S. foreign tax credit carryforward of $ 54.5 million with expiration dates from 2025 to 2027. Management evaluates whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. The Former Parent has incurred a cumulative loss over the three-year period ended December 31, 2020. Such evidence limits the ability to consider other projections of future growth. After considering all available evidence at December 31, 2020, the Company determined that a portion of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. Accordingly, the Company increased the valuation allowance by $ 54 million. The Company has not provided income tax expense on earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, since the Company has reinvested or expects to reinvest undistributed earnings outside the U.S. indefinitely. At December 31, 2020, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had an overall accumulated deficit in earnings. The Company does not intend to repatriate the earnings of its profitable foreign subsidiaries. The Company has not provided U.S. income taxes for such earnings. These earnings could become subject to U.S. income tax if repatriated. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of taxes that might be payable on such undistributed earnings. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., including federal and various state filings, and certain foreign jurisdictions. The number of years that are open under the statute of limitations and subject to audit varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. The Company remains subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years after 2017. The Former Parent had unrecognized tax benefits of $ 13.2 million, $ 13.2 million and $ 30.6 million as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The activity in unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands): Years ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of period $ 13,206 $ 30,558 $ 30,656 Additions based on tax positions related to prior years 1,757 2,500 1,899 Reductions based on tax positions related to prior years - - ( 1,864 ) Reductions as a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations ( 757 ) - ( 133 ) Reductions relating to settlements with taxing authorities ( 1,000 ) ( 19,852 ) - Unrecognized tax benefits at end of period $ 13,206 $ 13,206 $ 30,558 The amounts above include accrued interest and penalties of $ 5.8 million, $ 5.0 million and $ 9.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Former Parent recorded a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits of $ 19.9 million relating to settlements of income tax audits in foreign countries. Interest and penalties associated with the unrecognized tax benefits are classified as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Segment Information [Abstract]
Segment Information	(9) Segment Information Business Segments The Drilling Products and Services segment rents and sells bottom hole assemblies, premium drill pipe, tubulars and specialized equipment for use with onshore and offshore oil and gas well drilling, completion, production and workover activities. It also provides on-site accommodations and machining services. The Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment provides fluid handling services and workover and maintenance services. The Production Services segment provides intervention services such as coiled tubing, cased hole and mechanical wireline, hydraulic workover and snubbing, production testing and optimization, and remedial pumping services. The Technical Solutions segment provides services typically requiring specialized engineering, manufacturing or project planning, including well containment systems, stimulation and sand control services, and the production and sale of oil and gas. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, operating results of Pumpco Energy Services, Inc. (Pumpco) are reported in discontinued operations (see note 13). Previously those operating results were reported within the Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment. The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on income or loss from operations excluding allocated corporate expenses. The segment measure is calculated as follows: segment revenues less segment operating expenses, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense and reduction in value of assets. The Company uses this segment measure to evaluate its reportable segments because it is the measure that is most consistent with how the Company organizes and manages its business operations. Corporate and other costs primarily include expenses related to support functions, salaries and benefits for corporate employees and stock-based compensation expense.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	(10) Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in determining fair value are characterized according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based on the degree to which they are observable. The three input levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 : Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 : Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets or model-derived valuations or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; and Level 3 : Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The following tables provide a summary of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): Fair Value at December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Intangible and other long-term assets, net: Non-qualified deferred compensation assets $ - $ 15,013 $ - $ 15,013 Accounts payable: Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities $ - $ 2,869 $ - $ 2,869 Other long-term liabilities: Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities $ - $ 20,697 $ - $ 20,697 Total debt $ 409,050 $ - $ - $ 409,050 Fair Value at December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Intangible and other long-term assets, net: Non-qualified deferred compensation assets $ - $ 15,499 $ - $ 15,499 Accounts payable: Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities $ - $ 1,372 $ - $ 1,372 Other long-term liabilities: Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities $ - $ 23,466 $ - $ 23,466 Total debt $ 1,021,300 $ - $ - $ 1,021,300 The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans allow officers, certain highly compensated employees and non-employee directors to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to one or more hypothetical investment funds (see note 7). The Company entered into separate trust agreements, subject to general creditors, to segregate assets of each plan and reports the accounts of the trusts in its consolidated financial statements. These investments are reported at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identifiable assets and observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities, which represent Levels 1 and 2, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to the short maturities. The fair value of the debt instruments is determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted in an over-the-counter market. The following table reflects the fair value measurements used in testing the impairment of long-lived assets (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Impairment Fair Value Impairment Fair Value Intangible assets $ - $ - $ 7,556 $ - Property, plant and equipment, net $ 26,897 $ 13,593 $ 9,629 $ 25,000 Fair value is measured as of the impairment date using Level 3 inputs. See note 12 for discussion of reduction in value of assets recorded during 2020 and 2019. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements Long-lived assets within our assets held for sale were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2020. Fair value of the long-lived assets within assets held for sale was measured using Level 3 inputs and based on an estimated sales price less marketing costs. In 2020, the Company recorded a $114.2 million reduction in value of assets on its assets held for sale. This expense is reported within loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax within the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. See note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the discontinued operations.

Contingencies [Abstract]
Contingencies	(11) Contingencies Due to the nature of the Company’s business, the Company is involved, from time to time, in various routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims or actions, including those commercial in nature, regarding its business activities in the ordinary course of business. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred. Management is of the opinion that none of the claims and actions will have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. A subsidiary of the Company is involved in legal proceedings with two former employees regarding the payment of royalties for a patentable product paid for by the subsidiary and developed while they worked for the subsidiary. On April 2, 2018, the former employees and their corporation filed a lawsuit in the Harris County District Court alleging that the royalty payments they had invoiced at 25 % and for which they received payments since 2010, should have been paid at a rate of 50 %. In May 2019, the jury issued a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. On October 25, 2019, the court issued a final judgment against the Company which the Company has fully secured with a supersedeas bond. The Company strongly disagrees with the verdict and believes the district court committed several legal errors that should result in a reversal or remand of the case by the Court of Appeals. Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed certain proceedings and actions against the Debtors. These cases continue after the Chapter 11 Cases.

Reduction In Value Of Assets [Abstract]
Reduction In Value Of Assets	(12) Reduction in Value of Assets During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Former Parent recorded $ 26.9 million, $ 17.2 million and $ 322.7 million in expense related to reduction in value of assets, respectively. The components of the reductions in value of assets are as follows (in thousands): Years ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Reduction in value of goodwill $ - $ - $ 251,826 Reduction in value of long-lived assets 26,897 17,185 70,887 Total reduction in value of assets $ 26,897 $ 17,185 $ 322,713 Reduction in Value of Long-Lived Assets During 2020, the Former Parent recorded $ 26.9 million in connection with the reduction in value of its long-lived assets. The reduction in value of assets was related to reduction in value of long-lived assets primarily in our Technical Solutions and Production Services segments. During 2019, the Former Parent recorded $ 17.2 million in connection with the reduction in value of its long-lived assets. The reduction in value of assets was primarily related to reduction in value of certain intangibles in the Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment and long-lived assets in the Technical Solutions segment. During 2018, the Former Parent recorded $ 70.9 million in connection with the reduction in value of its long-lived assets. The reduction in value of assets was comprised of $ 41.4 million and $ 19.8 million related to property, plant and equipment and intangibles, respectively, in the well servicing rigs business in the Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment and $ 5.1 million related to property, plant and equipment and $ 1.9 million related to intangibles in the Production Services segment. The reduction in value of assets recorded during 2018 was primarily driven by the decline in demand for these services and the forecast did not indicate a timely recovery sufficient to support the carrying values of these assets. In addition, the Former Parent recorded a $ 2.6 million reduction in carrying value of its former corporate facility and its related assets. Reduction in Value of Goodwill During 2018, the Former Parent recorded a $ 251.8 million reduction in value of goodwill relating to its Onshore Completion and Workover Services and Production Services segments. The Company determined that the fair value of its goodwill for the Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment was less than its carrying value and fully wrote-off the related goodwill balances.

Supplemental Guarantor Information [Abstract]
Supplemental Guarantor Information	(14) Supplemental Guarantor Information The Former Parent, along with certain of its direct and indirect 100 % owned domestic subsidiaries (the subsidiary guarantors, and together with the Former Parent, the guarantors), entered into guarantees of the outstanding 7.750 % Notes (the guarantees). All guarantees provided by the guarantors were full and unconditional, joint and several, except that the guarantee of any subsidiary guarantor could be released under certain customary circumstances, including (i) in connection with a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the applicable subsidiary guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a person that is not the Issuer, Former Parent or a subsidiary of the Issuer; (ii) in connection with a sale or other disposition of all of the capital stock of such subsidiary guarantor to a person that was not the Former Parent or Issuer or their respective subsidiaries; and (iii) upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture that governed the 7.750 % Notes. The Former Parent was to be released from its guarantee only in connection with any legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture. Upon emergence in 2021, all outstanding obligations under the outstanding unsecured senior notes were cancelled and the applicable agreements governing such obligations were terminated as discussed in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. With respect to each guarantor, each guarantee was a general unsecured senior obligation of such guarantor and  ranked equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of such guarantor;  was senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of such guarantor; and  was effectively subordinated to existing and future secured indebtedness of such guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness. The guarantee obligations of the Former Parent and each subsidiary guarantor were limited as necessary to prevent the guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. If a guarantee was rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the applicable guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, such guarantor’s liability on its guarantee could have been reduced to zero. The 7.750 % Notes and the guarantees were structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of any of the subsidiary guarantors that did not guarantee the 7.750 % Notes (the non-guarantor subsidiaries). Such non-guarantor subsidiaries had no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under the 7.750 % Notes or to make funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. The following summarized financial information presents the financial information of the Former Parent, Issuer and the subsidiary guarantors (collectively, the Obligor Group), on a combined basis, after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances among the Former Parent, Issuer and the subsidiary guarantors and (ii) equity in earnings from and investments in any subsidiary of the Former Parent that was not the Issuer or a subsidiary guarantor.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Superior Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation.
Business	Business The Company provides a wide variety of services and products to the energy industry. The Company serves major, national and independent oil and natural gas companies around the world and offers products and services with respect to the various phases of a well’s economic life cycle. The Company reports its operating results in four business segments: Drilling Products and Services; Onshore Completion and Workover Services; Production Services; and Technical Solutions. The Company also provides supplemental segment revenue information in three geographic areas: U.S. land; U.S. offshore; and International.
Chapter 11 Cases	Chapter 11 Cases  Chapter 11 Accounting The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared as if we were a going concern and in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 852 - Reorganizations. Weak industry conditions in 2020 negatively impacted Superior Energy Services, Inc.’s (the Former Parent, which is now known as SESI Holdings, Inc.) results of operations and cash flows and may continue to do so in the future. In order to decrease the Former Parent’s level of indebtedness and maintain the Former Parent’s liquidity at levels sufficient to meet its commitments, the Former Parent undertook a number of actions, including minimizing capital expenditures and further reducing its recurring operating expenses. The Former Parent believed that even after taking these actions, it would not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy its debt service obligations and meet its other financial obligations. As a result, on December 7, 2020 (the Petition Date) the Affiliate Debtors (as defined in Note 2 – Chapter 11 Reorganization) filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code). On February 2, 2021 (the Effective Date), the conditions to effectiveness of the proposed Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the Plan) were satisfied or waived and the Company emerged from bankruptcy .  Restructuring expenses Any expenses, gains and losses that are realized or incurred before the Petition Date and in relation to the Chapter 11 proceedings are recorded under restructuring expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Restructuring expenses were $ 47.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which primarily consisted of professional fees related to the Chapter 11 proceedings and the RSA premium paid to noteholders that were party to the restructuring support agreement with the Former Parent.  Reorganization expenses The Former Parent incurred costs after the Petition Date associated with the reorganization, primarily unamortized debt issuance costs, expenses related to rejected leases and postpetition professional fees. In accordance with applicable guidance, costs associated with the bankruptcy proceedings have been recorded as reorganization items within the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. Reorganization expenses were $ 21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 , with $ 1.6 million and $ 1.0 million representing cash used in financing and operating activities, respectively, during 2020. Reorganization expenses were $ 21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which consisted of: December 31, 2020 7.125% Senior unsecured notes - unamortized debt issuance costs $ 2,160 7.750% Senior unsecured notes - unamortized debt issuance costs 5,644 Credit facility - unamortized debt issuance costs 2,172 Debtor in possession credit facility costs 1,554 Rejected leases 8,601 Professional fees 1,485 Total $ 21,616  Liabilities subject to compromise Prepetition unsecured and under-secured obligations that may be impacted by the Chapter 11 Cases have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. These liabilities are reported at the amounts allowed as claims by the Bankruptcy Court. Liabilities subject to compromise as of December 31, 2020 were $ 1,335.8 million, which consisted of: December 31, 2020 7.125% Senior unsecured notes due 2021 $ 800,000 7.750% Senior unsecured notes due 2024 500,000 Accrued interest on senior notes 35,794 Total $ 1,335,794 The principal balance on the 7.125 % senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the 7.125 % Notes) and the 7.750 % senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the 7.750 % Notes) of $ 800.0 million and $ 500.0 million, respectively, has been reclassified from long-term debt to liabilities subject to compromise as of December 31, 2020. See also Note 6 - Debt for further details. Accrued interest on the 7.125% Notes and the 7.750 % Notes, respectively, was also reclassified from accrued expenses to liabilities subject to compromise as of December 31, 2020.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make significant 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk	Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk The majority of the Company’s business is conducted with major and independent oil and gas companies. The Company evaluates the financial strength of its customers and provides allowances for probable credit losses when deemed necessary. The market for the Company’s services and products is the oil and gas industry in the U.S. land and Gulf of Mexico areas and select international market areas. Oil and gas companies make capital expenditures on exploration, development and production operations. The level of these expenditures historically has been characterized by significant volatility. The Company derives a large amount of revenue from a small number of major and independent oil and gas companies. There were no customers that exceeded 10% of the Former Parent’s total revenues in 2020, 2019 or 2018. The Company’s assets that are potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. The financial institutions in which the Company transacts business are large, investment grade financial institutions which are “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory capital adequacy guidelines , thereby minimizing it s exposure to credit risks for deposits in excess of federally insured amounts.
Cash Equivalents	Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances	Accounts Receivable and Allowances Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount or the earned amount but not yet invoiced and do not bear interest. The Company maintains allowances for estimated uncollectible receivables, including bad debts and other items. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s best estimate of probable uncollectible amounts in existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and specific identification.
Inventory	Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company applies net realizable value and obsolescence to the gross value of the inventory. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out or weighted-average cost methods for finished goods and work-in-process. Supplies and consumables consist principally of products used in the Company’s services provided to its customers. The components of inventory balances are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Finished goods $ 44,123 $ 45,127 Raw materials 11,345 16,130 Work-in-process 6,185 9,360 Supplies and consumables 25,070 33,322 Total $ 86,723 $ 103,939
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, except for assets for which reduction in value is recorded during the period and assets acquired using purchase accounting, which are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Buildings and improvements 5 to 40 years Machinery and equipment 2 to 25 years Automobiles, trucks, tractors and trailers 3 to 10 years Furniture and fixtures 2 to 10 years
Reduction In Value Of Long-Lived Assets	Reduction in Value 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 amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of such assets to their fair value calculated, in part, by the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Cash flow estimates are based upon, among other things, historical results adjusted to reflect the best estimate of future market rates, utilization levels, and operating performance. Estimates of cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, changes in economic conditions or changes in an asset’s operating performance. Assets are grouped by subsidiary or division for the impairment testing, which represent the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If the asset grouping’s fair value is less than the carrying amount of those items, impairment losses are recorded in the amount by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The net carrying value of assets not fully recoverable is reduced to fair value. The estimate of fair value represents the best estimate based on industry trends and reference to market transactions and is subject to variability. The oil and gas industry is cyclical and estimates of the period over which future cash flows will be generated, as well as the predictability of these cash flows, can have a significant impact on the carrying values of these assets and, in periods of prolonged down cycles, may result in impairment charges. See note 12 for a discussion of the reduction in value of long-lived assets recorded during 2020, 2019 and 2018. The bankruptcy filings on the Petition Date required an assessment whether the carrying amounts of our long-lived assets would be recoverable. Management’s evaluation indicated that no additional impairment was necessary as a direct result of the bankruptcy filings.
Goodwill	Goodwill The following table summarizes the Company’s goodwill (in thousands): Drilling Products and Services Total Balance, December 31, 2018 $ 136,788 $ 136,788 Foreign currency translation adjustment 907 907 Balance, December 31, 2019 137,695 137,695 Foreign currency translation adjustment 982 982 Balance, December 31, 2020 $ 138,677 $ 138,677 The Company performs the goodwill impairment test on an annual basis as of October 1 or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, which is consistent with the reporting segments. The Company assesses whether any indicators of impairment exist, which requires a significant amount of judgment. Such indicators may include a sustained decrease in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization; a decline in the expected future cash flows; overall weakness in the industry; and slower growth rates. Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is below the carrying value. In estimating the fair value of the reporting units, the Company uses a combination of an income approach and a market-based approach.  Income approach – The Company discounts the expected cash flows of each reporting unit. The discount rate used represents the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk involved in the Company’s operations and cash flows and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.  Market-based approach – The Company uses the guideline public company method, which focuses on comparing the Company’s risk profile and growth prospects to select reasonably similar publicly traded companies. The Company weights the income approach 80 % and the market-based approach 20 % due to differences between the Company’s reporting units and the peer companies’ size, profitability and diversity of operations. In order to validate the reasonableness of the estimated fair values obtained for the reporting units, a reconciliation of fair value to market value of invested capital is performed on the aggregate fair value of the reporting units. A control premium, derived from market transaction data, is used in this reconciliation to ensure that fair values are reasonably stated in conjunction with the Company’s capitalization. The Company uses all available information to estimate fair value of the reporting units, including discounted cash flows. A significant amount of judgment was involved in performing these evaluations given that the results are based on estimated future events. During the third quarter of 2020, the Former Parent entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the RSA) with holders of approximately 69.2 % of the 7.125% Notes and the 7.750% Notes. Entry into the RSA, along with changing industry conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event that required the Former Parent to perform an interim goodwill impairment review as of September 30, 2020. The result of the goodwill impairment assessment indicated that the fair value of the Drilling Products and Services segment exceeded its net book value and, therefore, no goodwill impairment was recorded. Based on the timing of the third quarter test, along with an increase in sequential revenues and the improving business environment during the fourth quarter of 2020, the Former Parent determined that no impairment exists as of the annual test date of October 1, 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the industry climate deteriorated rapidly due to the dramatic decline in crude oil prices and the related large sell-off in the equity markets for issuers in the energy industry. As a result of the adverse changes in the business environment that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2018 and a review of the Former Parent’s expected near-term cash flows from operations, the Former Parent reviewed the goodwill for impairment. It was concluded that at December 31, 2018, the Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment’s goodwill of $ 583.6 million and the Production Services segment’s goodwill of $ 85.3 million were fully impaired. The fair value of the Drilling Products and Services segment was substantially in excess of its carrying value. See note 12 for a discussion of the reduction in value of goodwill recorded during 2018. As of each of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Former Parent’s accumulated reduction in value of goodwill was $ 2,417.1 million.
Notes Receivable	Notes Receivable The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Wild Well Control, Inc., has decommissioning obligations related to its ownership of a single oil and gas property and related assets. Notes receivable consist of a commitment from the seller of the property’s sole platform towards its eventual abandonment. Pursuant to an agreement with the seller, the Company will invoice the seller $ 115 million at the completion of decommissioning activities. This obligation was recorded at present value using an effective interest rate of 6.58 %. The related discount is amortized to interest income based on the expected timing of the platform’s removal. The Former Parent recorded interest income related to notes receivable of $ 4.5 million, $ 4.2 million and $ 3.9 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash primarily represents cash held in a collateral account for the payment and performance of secured obligations including the reimbursement of letters of credit. Additionally, we hold cash in escrow to secure the future decommissioning obligations related to the oil and gas property.
Intangible and Other Long-Term Assets	Intangible and Other Long-Term Assets Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Estimated Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net Useful Lives Amount Amortization Balance Amount Amortization Balance Customer relationships 17 years $ 14,592 $ ( 10,077 ) $ 4,515 $ 19,902 $ ( 14,680 ) $ 5,222 Tradenames 10 years 9,045 ( 6,270 ) 2,775 8,907 ( 5,413 ) 3,494 Non-compete agreements 3 years 3,478 ( 3,478 ) - 3,464 ( 3,106 ) 358 Total $ 27,115 $ ( 19,825 ) $ 7,290 $ 32,273 $ ( 23,199 ) $ 9,074 Amortization expense was $ 1.8 million, $ 2.1 million and $ 5.6 million during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Based on the carrying values of intangible assets at December 31, 2020, amortization expense for the next five years (2021 through 2025) is estimated to be $ 1.0 million per year. During 2019, the Company recorded $ 7.6 million of expense related to the reduction in carrying values of intangibles in the Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment (see note 12).
Decommissioning Liabilities	Decommissioning Liabilities The Company’s decommissioning liabilities associated with the oil and gas property and its related assets consist of costs related to the plugging of wells, the removal of the related platform and equipment, and site restoration. The Company reviews the adequacy of its decommissioning liabilities whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows and/or relating timing needed to satisfy the liability have changed materially. The following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s decommissioning liabilities (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Balance at beginning of period $ 136,281 $ 130,096 Accretion 6,945 6,332 Liabilities settled ( 480 ) ( 147 ) Balance at end of period $ 142,746 $ 136,281
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes and the related accounts under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and rates that are in effect when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on the deferred income taxes is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs. A valuation allowance is recorded when management believes it is more likely than not that at least some portion of any deferred tax asset will not be realized. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and conversion of restricted stock units. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Former Parent incurred losses from continuing operations; as such, the impact of any incremental shares would be anti-dilutive.
Foreign Currency	Foreign Currency Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated using average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates, and the resulting translation adjustments are reported as accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company’s stockholders’ equity. For international subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, financial statements are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the historical exchange rate for most of the long-term assets and liabilities and the balance sheet date exchange rate for most of the current assets and liabilities. An average exchange rate is used for each period for revenues and expenses. These transaction gains and losses, as well as any other transactions in a currency other than the functional currency, are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the currency exchange rates change. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Former Parent recorded foreign currency losses of $ 8.9 million, $ 0.8 million and $ 1.9 million, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company records compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions and includes such costs in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award).
Self-Insurance Reserves	Self-Insurance Reserves The Company is self-insured, through deductibles and retentions, up to certain levels for losses under its insurance programs. The Company accrues for these liabilities based on estimates of the ultimate cost of claims incurred as of the balance sheet date. The Company regularly reviews the estimates of asserted and unasserted claims and provides for losses through reserves. The Company obtains actuarial reviews to evaluate the reasonableness of internal estimates for losses related to workers’ compensation, auto liability and group medical on an annual basis.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Loses on Financial Instruments. This update improves financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope by using the Current Expected Credit Losses model (CECL). The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses on financial instruments at the time the asset is originated or acquired. This update will apply to receivables arising from revenue transactions. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023. The Company has concluded that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis with respect to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing the following exceptions: (1) the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items; (2) the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment; (3) the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary; and (40 the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The update also (1) requires an entity to recognize a franchise tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax; (2) requires an entity to evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction; (3) specifies that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidate amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements; (4) requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date; and (5) makes minor Codification improvements for income taxes related to employee stock ownership plans. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is evaluating the effect ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
