Summary of Major Accounting Policies	'
	Note 1: Summary of Major Accounting Policies
	Company Operations — Cameron International Corporation (Cameron or the Company) provides flow equipment products, systems and services to worldwide oil, gas and process industries through three business segments, Drilling & Production Systems (DPS), Valves & Measurement (V&M) and Process & Compression Systems (PCS). Products include oil and gas pressure control, drilling and separation equipment, including valves, wellheads, manifolds, controls, chokes, blowout preventers and packaged systems for oil and gas drilling, production and transmission processes used in onshore, offshore and subsea applications, as well as for the downstream markets. Cameron also manufactures and services air and gas compressors and turbochargers.  Additional information regarding each segment may be found in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments from 20% to 50% in affiliated companies are accounted for using the equity method.
	Estimates in Financial Statements — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of total contract profit or loss on certain long-term production contracts, estimated losses on accounts receivable, estimated realizable value on excess and obsolete inventory, contingencies, including tax contingencies, estimated liabilities for litigation exposures and liquidated damages, estimated warranty costs, estimates related to pension accounting, estimates used to determine fair values in purchase accounting, estimates related to the fair value of reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment, estimated proceeds from assets held for sale and estimates related to deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
	Revenue Recognition — The Company generally recognizes revenue, net of sales taxes, once the following four criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery of the equipment has occurred or the customer has taken title and risk of loss or services have been rendered, (iii) the price of the equipment or service is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. For certain engineering, procurement and construction-type contracts, which typically include the Company’s subsea and drilling systems and processing equipment contracts, revenue is recognized in accordance with accounting rules relating to construction-type and production-type contracts. Under this guidance, the Company recognizes revenue on these contracts based upon completion of milestones using a units-of-completion method.  However, for certain specific types of drilling and subsea systems contracts which have different characteristics than our other contracts, we use the cost-to-cost method of accounting. Under the units-of-completion method, revenue and cost of sales are recognized once the manufacturing process is complete for each milestone included in the contract,  including customer inspection and acceptance, if required by the contract.  Under the cost-to-cost method, revenue and cost of sales are recognized in the ratio of actual costs incurred to date on the project in relation to total estimated project costs.  Both methods require the Company to make estimates regarding the total costs of the project, which impacts the amount of gross margin the Company recognizes in each reporting period.  The Company routinely, and at least quarterly, reviews its estimates relating to total estimated contract profit or loss and recognizes changes in those estimates as they are determined.  Revenue associated with change orders is not included in the calculation of estimated profit on a contract until approved by the customer.  Costs associated with unapproved change orders are deferred if (i) the customer acknowledges a change has occurred and (ii) it is probable that the costs will be recoverable from the customer.  If these two conditions are not met, the costs are included in the calculation of estimated profit on the project.  Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident.
	Approximately 29%, 23% and 26% of the Company's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were recognized under the accounting rules for construction-type and production-type contracts.
	Shipping and Handling Costs — Shipping and handling costs are reflected in the caption entitled “Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below)” in the accompanying Consolidated Results of Operations statements.
	Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments — Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.  Short-term investments consist primarily of commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. non-governmental agency asset-backed securities and corporate debt obligations that have maturities of more than three months but less than one year.  All of our short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Such allowances are based upon several factors including, but not limited to, historical experience, the length of time an invoice has been outstanding, responses from customers relating to demands for payment and the current and projected financial condition of specific customers.
	Inventories — Aggregate inventories are carried at cost or, if lower, net realizable value. On the basis of current costs, 49% of inventories at December 31, 2013 and 53% at December 31, 2012 are carried on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. For these locations, the use of LIFO results in a better matching of costs and revenues. The remaining inventories, which are generally located outside the United States and Canada, are carried on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company provides a reserve for estimated inventory obsolescence or excess quantities on hand equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated realizable value.
	Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment, both owned and under capital lease, are carried at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The cost of renewals, replacements and betterments is capitalized. The Company capitalizes software developed or obtained for internal use. Accordingly, the cost of third-party software, as well as the cost of third-party and internal personnel that are directly involved in application development activities, are capitalized during the application development phase of new software systems projects. Costs during the preliminary project stage and post-implementation stage of new software systems projects, including data conversion and training costs, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, or in the case of assets under capital leases, over the related lease term, if less, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of the major classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
		Estimated
		Useful Lives
	Buildings and leasehold improvements	10-40 years
	Machinery, equipment and tooling	3-18 years
	Office furniture, software and other	3-10 years
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets — Cameron allocates the purchase price of acquired businesses to their identifiable tangible assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, based on their estimated fair values.  The Company will also typically allocate a portion of the purchase price to certain identifiable intangible assets, such as noncompete agreements, trademarks, trade names, patents, technology, customer relationships and backlog using various widely accepted valuation techniques such as discounted future cash flows and the relief-from-royalty and excess earnings methods.  Each of these methods involves level 3 unobservable market inputs.  Any remaining excess of cost over allocated fair values is recorded as goodwill.  On many larger acquisitions, Cameron will engage third-party valuation experts to assist in determining the fair values for both the identifiable tangible and intangible assets.  Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application of the fair value techniques, including estimates of future cash flows, selling prices, replacement costs, royalty rates for use of assets, economic lives and the selection of a discount rate.
	The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill in accordance with accounting rules on impairment of goodwill, which require that the Company estimate the fair value of each of its reporting units annually, or when impairment indicators exist, and compare such amounts to their respective carrying values to determine if an impairment of goodwill is required.  Generally, this review is conducted during the first quarter of each annual period.  The estimated fair value of each reporting unit for the 2013, 2012 and 2011 evaluations was determined using discounted future expected cash flows (level 3 unobservable inputs) consistent with the accounting guidance for fair-value measurements. Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application of the fair value models, including, but not limited to, estimates of future cash flows and the selection of a discount rate.  At December 31, 2013, the Company’s reporting units for goodwill impairment evaluation purposes were the Drilling, Surface and OneSubsea businesses of the DPS segment, the Engineered Valves, Distributed Valves, Process Valves, Measurement Systems divisions and the Aftermarket Services business of the V&M segment and the Process Systems & Reciprocating Compression, Custom Process Systems and Centrifugal Compression divisions of the PCS segment.  See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the Reciprocating Compression and Centrifugal Compression businesses.
	The Company’s intangible assets, excluding goodwill, represent purchased patents, trademarks, customer relationships and other identifiable intangible assets. The majority of intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the years expected to be benefited, generally ranging from 5 to 28 years. Such intangibles are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. As many areas of the Company’s business rely on patents and proprietary technology, it has followed a policy of seeking patent protection both inside and outside the United States for products and methods that appear to have commercial significance. The costs of developing any intangibles internally, as well as costs of defending such intangibles, are expensed as incurred. No material impairment of intangible assets was required during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011, except as reflected in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Long-Lived Assets — In accordance with accounting rules for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, such assets, excluding goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, to be held and used by the Company are reviewed to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company bases its evaluation on impairment indicators such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements and other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, the Company determines whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flow analysis of the asset at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If an impairment has occurred, the Company recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Assets are classified as held for sale when the Company has a plan, approved by the appropriate levels of management,  for disposal of such assets and those assets are stated at the lower of carrying value as estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.  No material impairment of long-lived assets was required during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011.
	Product Warranty — Estimated warranty costs are accrued either at the time of sale based upon historical experience or, in some cases, when specific warranty problems are encountered. Adjustments to the recorded liability are made periodically to reflect actual experience.
	Contingencies — The Company accrues for costs relating to litigation, including litigation defense costs, claims, assessments and other contingent matters, including liquidated damage liabilities, when such liabilities become probable and reasonably estimable. Such estimates may be based on advice from third parties, amounts specified by contract, amounts designated by legal statute or management’s judgment, as appropriate. Revisions to contingent liability reserves are reflected in income in the period in which different facts or information become known or circumstances change that affect the Company’s previous assumptions with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Amounts paid upon the ultimate resolution of contingent liabilities may be materially different from previous estimates and could require adjustments to the estimated reserves to be recognized in the period such new information becomes known.
	Income Taxes — The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Income tax expense includes U.S. and foreign income taxes, including U.S. federal taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries to the extent such earnings are planned to be remitted. Taxes are not provided on the translation component of comprehensive income since the effect of translation is not considered to modify the amount of the earnings that are planned to be remitted.
	The Company accounts for uncertainties in its income tax positions in accordance with income tax accounting rules.  Interest related to accruals for uncertain tax positions is reflected as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Results of Operations statement. Penalties on a tax position taken by the Company are reflected as a component of income tax expense in the Consolidated Results of Operations statement. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Company’s income taxes.
	Environmental Remediation and Compliance — Environmental remediation and postremediation monitoring costs are accrued when such obligations become probable and reasonably estimable. Such future expenditures are not discounted to their present value.
	Pension and Postretirement Benefits Accounting — The Company recognizes the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans in its Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The measurement date for all of the Company’s plans was December 31, 2013.  See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
	Stock-Based Compensation — At December 31, 2013, the Company had grants outstanding under various stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described in further detail in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Compensation expense for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans is measured using the fair value method required by accounting rules on stock compensation. Under this guidance, the fair value of stock option grants and restricted stock unit awards is amortized to expense using the straight-line method over the shorter of the vesting period or the remaining employee service period.
	Derivative Financial Instruments — Consistent with accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, the Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as assets and liabilities on a gross basis and measures them at fair value.  Hedge accounting is only applied when the derivative is deemed highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other elements of comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings, at which time any deferred hedging gains or losses are reclassified to earnings in the same income statement caption as impacted by the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative used as a cash flow hedge is recorded in earnings as incurred. The amounts recorded in earnings from ineffectiveness for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 have not been material. The Company may at times also use forward or option contracts to hedge certain other foreign currency exposures. These contracts are not designated as hedges under the accounting guidance described above.  Therefore, the changes in fair value of these contracts are recognized in earnings as they occur and offset gains or losses on the related exposures.
	The Company may also periodically use interest rate swaps to modify the interest characteristics of some or all of its fixed or floating rate debt.  As these interest rate swaps are generally not designated as hedges, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as they occur.
	Foreign Currency — For most subsidiaries and branches outside the U.S., the local currency is the functional currency.  The financial statements of these subsidiaries and branches are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: (i) assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates; (ii) income, expenses and cash flows at monthly average exchange rates or exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction; and (iii) stockholders’ equity at historical exchange rates. For those subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional currency, the resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other elements of comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	For certain other subsidiaries and branches, operations are conducted primarily in currencies other than the local currencies, which are therefore the functional currency. Non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at ending exchange rates. Revenue, expense and gain and loss accounts of these foreign subsidiaries and branches are remeasured at average exchange rates or exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction. Non-functional currency non-monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts are remeasured at historical rates.
	Foreign currency gains and losses arising from monetary transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in income. The effects of foreign currency transactions were a gain of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a loss of $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and a loss of $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Acquisitions and OneSubsea [Abstract]	'
Acquisitions and OneSubsea	'
	Note 2: Acquisitions and OneSubsea™
	During the third quarter of 2013, the Company’s Distributed Valves division of the V&M segment acquired Douglas Chero, an Italian valve manufacturer, for $19.8 million, net of cash acquired.  The acquisition was made to support the Company’s international growth strategy by expanding its downstream industrial valve offerings.  Douglas Chero’s results of operations have been included in the V&M segment since the date of acquisition.
	As a result of the timing of the purchase of Douglas Chero, the purchase price allocation for this business was based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions which are subject to change upon the receipt of additional information required to finalize the valuation.  The primary areas which have not yet been finalized relate to inventory, property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, goodwill, certain preacquisition contingencies and related adjustments to deferred income taxes.  The final valuation for Douglas Chero will be completed as soon as possible, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
	OneSubsea — On June 30, 2013, Cameron and Schlumberger Limited completed the formation of OneSubsea, a venture established to manufacture and develop products, systems and services for the subsea oil and gas market.  Cameron contributed its existing subsea business unit and received $600 million from Schlumberger, while Schlumberger contributed its Framo, Surveillance, Flow Assurance and Power and Controls businesses.  As 60% owner, Cameron is managing the venture, consolidating it in its Drilling & Production Systems (DPS) segment and reflecting a noncontrolling interest in its financial statements for Schlumberger’s 40% interest in the venture.
	The table below shows the final purchase price allocation for the assets received from Schlumberger and the recording of Schlumberger’s cash payment to Cameron and its related noncontrolling interest in OneSubsea (in millions):
		Dr. (Cr.)
	Cash, including cash acquired	$	603
	Receivables		241.6
	Inventory		32.4
	Other current assets		3.4
	Plant and equipment		31.8
	Goodwill		1,011.40
	Intangibles:
	Customer relationships		350
	Patents and technology		220
	Other		20
	Other non-current assets		10.6
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(213.5	)
	Accrued income taxes		(80.4	)
	Deferred income taxes		(168.3	)
	Other long-term liabilities		(52.5	)
	Capital in excess of par value		(1,083.0	)
	Noncontrolling interests		(926.5	)
		$	–
	Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of the Schlumberger businesses contributed to OneSubsea have been reflected at their estimated fair values at June 30, 2013.  The excess of the fair value of the businesses contributed by Schlumberger over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of those businesses was recorded as goodwill. The OneSubsea goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
	Identifiable intangible assets consisted primarily of customer relationships, developed technology and backlog (included in other). Customer relationships and backlog represent the fair value of existing contracts and the underlying customer relationships. Developed technology includes intellectual property and know-how associated with the acquired subsea processing, meters and other businesses. The Company uses the straight-line method for amortization of intangible assets over their estimated period of economic benefit, which is estimated to be 28 years for customer relationships, 20 years for developed technology and 18 months for backlog.
	Due to Cameron maintaining control of OneSubsea, the contribution of Cameron’s existing subsea business unit into the venture was recorded at historical cost and the issuance of a 40% interest in the venture to Schlumberger was reflected as an adjustment to Cameron’s paid in capital in accordance with accounting rules governing decreases in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary without loss of control.  Accordingly, the direct income tax consequences, consisting of a current amount of income taxes payable and deferred income taxes, were also reflected as an adjustment to paid in capital.
	Beginning with the third quarter of 2013, Cameron is now reflecting the results of operations and the related tax effects of OneSubsea attributable to its stockholders in its consolidated results, as well as the portion of the results attributable to the stockholders of the noncontrolling interest.
	2012 Acquisitions — During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company spent $39.7 million, net of cash acquired, on two acquisitions, CairnToul Well Equipment Services Limited and ICI Artificial Lift, Inc. both of which are intended to enhance the product and service offerings of its Surface Systems business in the DPS segment.
	On June 6, 2012, the Company closed on its purchase of the drilling equipment business of TTS Energy Division from TTS Group ASA, a Norwegian company (“TTS”), for a cash payment of $248.1 million, net of cash acquired, subject to certain post-closing adjustments.  TTS provides high performance drilling equipment, rig packages and rig solutions for both onshore and offshore rigs to the international energy industry and its financial results have been included in the DPS segment since the date of acquisition.
	During the first quarter of 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Elco Filtration and Testing, Inc. (“Elco”), for a total purchase price of $61.5 million, net of cash acquired.  Elco was purchased to strengthen the Company’s wellhead product and service offerings and has been included in the DPS segment since the date of acquisition.
	Approximately $249.6 million of goodwill was recorded as a result of the 2012 acquisitions, nearly $27.8 million of which is deductible for tax purposes.
	2011 Acquisitions ― On October 24, 2011, the Company closed on the acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies Drilling Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Joy Global Inc., for $374.4 million, net of cash acquired.  LeTourneau provides drilling equipment as well as rig designs and components for both the land and offshore rig markets and its results of operations are included in the Company’s DPS segment.
	During 2011, the Company also acquired the stock of four other businesses for a total cash purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $46.9 million.  Vescon Equipamentos Industriais Ltda. was acquired to strengthen the Company’s surface product offerings in the Brazilian market and has been included in the DPS segment since the date of acquisition.  The remaining interest in Scomi Energy Sdn Bhd., previously a Cameron joint venture company, was acquired in order to strengthen the Company’s process systems offerings in the Malaysian market.  TS-Technology AS, a Norwegian company, was acquired to enhance the Company’s water treatment technology offerings.  Industrial Machine and Fabrication (“IMF”) was acquired to enhance the Company’s rotating compression aftermarket offerings.  The results of these businesses are included in the PCS segment.

Employee Benefit Plans	'
	Note 8: Employee Benefit Plans
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company sponsored separate defined benefit pension plans for employees of certain of its international subsidiaries, as well as several unfunded defined benefit arrangements for various other employee groups. The defined benefit pension plan covering employees in the United Kingdom was frozen to new entrants effective June 14, 1996.
	Certain of the Company’s employees also participate in various employee welfare benefit plans, including medical, dental and prescriptions. Additionally, certain retirees based in the United States receive retiree medical, prescription and life insurance benefits. All of the welfare benefit plans, including those providing postretirement benefits, are unfunded.
	Total net benefit plan expense (income) associated with the Company’s defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans consisted of the following:

Actual asset investment allocations for the Company’s main defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom, which accounts for approximately 78% of total plan assets, were as follows:
	2013			2012			2011
U.K. plan:
Equity securities		60	%		54	%		53	%
Fixed income debt securities, cash and other		40	%		46	%		47	%
In each jurisdiction, the investment of plan assets is overseen by a plan asset committee whose members act as trustees of the plan and set investment policy. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the investment strategy has been designed to approximate the performance of market indexes. The Company’s targeted allocation for the U.K. plan for 2014 and beyond is approximately 55% in equities, 40% in fixed income debt securities and 5% in real estate and other.
During 2013, the Company made contributions totaling approximately $13.6 million to the assets of its various defined benefit pension plans. Contributions to plan assets for 2014 are currently expected to approximate $21.6 million assuming no change in the current discount rate or expected investment earnings.
The assets of the Company’s pension plans are generally invested in cash and cash equivalents as well as debt and equity securities or mutual funds, which are valued based on quoted market prices for an individual asset (level 1 market inputs) or mutual fund unit values, which are based on the fair values of the individual securities that the fund has invested in (level 2 observable market inputs).  A certain portion of the assets are invested in insurance contracts, real estate and other investments, which are valued based on level 3 unobservable inputs.
The fair values of the Company’s pension plan assets by asset category at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
	Fair Value Based on						Fair Value Based on						Fair Value Based						Total

The Company’s discount rate assumptions for its U.S. postretirement benefits plan and its international defined benefit pension plans are based on the average yield of a hypothetical high quality bond portfolio with maturities that approximately match the estimated cash flow needs of the plans.
The assumptions for expected long-term rates of return on assets are based on historical experience and estimated future investment returns, taking into consideration anticipated asset allocations, investment strategies and the views of various investment professionals.
The rate of compensation increase assumption for international plans reflects local economic conditions and the Company’s compensation strategy in those locations.
The health care cost trend rate is assumed to decrease gradually from 7.5% to 5.0% by 2019 and remain at that level thereafter. A one-percentage-point increase or decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate would not have a material impact on the service and interest cost components in 2013 or the postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2013.
Amounts applicable to the Company’s pension plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets and accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were as follows:

The Company’s United States-based employees who are not covered by a bargaining unit and certain others are also eligible to participate in the Cameron International Corporation Retirement Savings Plan. Under this plan, employees’ savings deferrals are partially matched in cash and invested at the employees’ discretion. The Company provides nondiscretionary retirement contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan on behalf of each eligible employee equal to 3% of their defined pay.  Eligible employees vest in the 3% retirement contributions plus any earnings after completing three years of service.  In addition, the Company provides an immediately vested matching contribution of up to 100% of the first 6% of pay contributed by each eligible employee.  Employees may contribute amounts in excess of 6% of their pay to the Retirement Savings Plan, subject to certain United States Internal Revenue Service limitations. The Company’s expense for the matching and retirement contribution for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $76.7 million, $69.5 million and $57.7 million, respectively. In addition, the Company provides savings or other benefit plans for employees under collective bargaining agreements and, in the case of certain international employees, as required by government mandate, which provide for, among other things, Company funding in cash based on specified formulas. Expense with respect to these various defined contribution and government-mandated plans for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $82.9 million, $60.0 million and $57.9 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans	'
	Note 9: Stock-Based Compensation Plans
	The Company has grants outstanding under various equity compensation plans, only one of which, the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (2005 EQIP), is currently available for future grants of equity compensation awards to employees and non-employee directors. Options granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and all terms were fixed.
	Stock-based compensation expense recognized was as follows:
		Year Ended December 31,
	(dollars in millions)	2013			2012			2011
	Outstanding restricted and deferred stock units and awards	$	40.2		$	32.6		$	25.6
	Unvested outstanding stock options		13.6			12.1			11.1
	Total stock-based compensation expense	$	53.8		$	44.7		$	36.7
	The total income statement tax benefit recognized from stock-based compensation arrangements during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011  totaled approximately $19.8 million, $16.5 million and $13.5 million, respectively.
	Stock options
	Options with terms of seven or ten years have been granted to officers and other key employees of the Company under the 2005 EQIP plan at a fixed exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The options generally vest in one-third increments each year on the anniversary date following the date of grant, based on continued employment.
	A summary of option activity under the Company’s stock compensation plans as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 is presented below:
	Options	Shares			Weighted-			Weighted-			Aggregate
					Average			Average			Intrinsic
					Exercise			Remaining			Value

	Stock-based compensation cost not yet recognized under the straight-line method (dollars in millions)	$	12.8
	Weighted-average remaining expense recognition period (in years)		1.77
	The fair values per share of option grants for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula with the following weighted-average assumptions:
		Year Ended December 31,
		2013			2012			2011
	Expected life (in years)		3.2			3.2			2.8
	Risk-free interest rate		0.67	%		0.37	%		0.38	%
	Volatility		34.3	%		39.4	%		42.6	%
	Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%
	The Company determined the assumptions involving the expected life of its options and volatility rates based primarily on historical data and consideration of expectations for the future.
	The above assumptions and market prices of the Company’s common stock at the date of option exercises resulted in the following values:
		Year Ended December 31,
		2013			2012			2011
	Grant-date fair value per option	$	16.19		$	15.68		$	14.47
	Intrinsic value of options exercised (dollars in millions)	$	30.9		$	33.7		$	31.5
	Average intrinsic value per share of options exercised	$	26.3		$	23.39		$	26.79
	Restricted and deferred stock units and awards
	Grants of restricted stock units are made to officers and other key employees. The restricted stock units granted generally provide for vesting in one-third increments each year or three-year 100% cliff vesting on the third anniversary of the date of grant, based on continued employment.
	Non-employee directors are entitled to receive an annual number of deferred stock units equal to a value of $250,000 determined on the day following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders or, if a director’s election to the Board occurs between annual meetings of stockholders, the initial grant of deferred stock units is based on a pro-rata portion of the annual grant amount equal to the remaining number of months in the board year until the next annual meeting of stockholders.  These units, which have no exercise price and no expiration date, vest in one-fourth increments quarterly over the following year but cannot be converted into common stock until the earlier of termination of Board service or three years, although Board members have the ability to voluntarily defer conversion for a longer period of time.
	A summary of restricted and deferred stock unit award activity under the Company’s stock compensation plans as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 is presented below:
		Number			Weighted-Average
					Grant Date
	Restricted and Deferred Stock Units				Fair Value

Weighted average grant date fair value per unit	$	57.95		$	50.44		$	50.67
The fair value of restricted and deferred stock units is determined based on the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
At December 31, 2013, 13,742,446 shares were reserved for future grants of options, deferred stock units, restricted stock units and other awards. The Company may issue either treasury shares or newly issued shares of its common stock in satisfaction of these awards.

	On December 16, 2013, the Company completed the public offering of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes as follows:
		·	$250.0 million principal amount of 1.15% Senior Notes due December 15, 2016, sold at on offering price of 99.982%;
		·	$250.0 million principal amount of 4.0% Senior Notes due December 15, 2023, sold at on offering price of 99.641%; and
		·	$250.0 million principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due December 15, 2043, sold at on offering price of 99.092%;
	Interest on the notes will be payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2014.  The notes may be redeemed in whole or in part by the Company prior to maturity for an amount equal to the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus a make-whole premium as described further in the Supplemental Indenture for each respective Senior Note.  All of the Company’s senior notes rank equally with the Company’s other existing unsecured and unsubordinated debt.
	Proceeds from the issuance of these notes will be used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock and for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment at maturity of the Company’s floating rate notes due June 2, 2014.  The proceeds may initially be invested in short-term marketable securities or may be used to repay short-term indebtedness prior to being used for their above stated purpose.
	Multicurrency Revolving Letter of Credit and Credit Facilities
	The Company’s Credit Agreement dated April 14, 2008 (as amended and restated, the "Amended Credit Agreement") provides for a multi-currency borrowing capacity of $835.0 million and matures on June 6, 2016. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, Cameron may borrow funds at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread, which varies based on the Company’s current debt rating, and, if aggregate outstanding credit exposure exceeds one-half of the total facility amount, an additional fee will be incurred. At December 31, 2013, the Company had issued letters of credit totaling $25.4 million under this revolving credit facility, with the remaining amount of $809.6 million available for use.
	The Company also has a $170.0 million three-year committed multi-currency revolving letter of credit facility with a third party bank (as amended, the "Amended Facility"). Under the Amended Facility, standby letters of credit, generally with terms of up to two years, may be issued by the bank in U.S. dollars, euros, pound sterling or other mutually agreed-upon currencies. The Amended Facility is governed by the same financial covenants as the Amended Credit Agreement and has a maturity date of February 2, 2015. At December 31, 2013, Cameron had issued letters of credit totaling $126.4 million under the Amended Facility, with the remaining amount of $43.6 million available for use.
	Other
	Other debt, some of which is held by entities located in countries with high rates of inflation, has a weighted-average interest rate of 6.1% at December 31, 2013 (9.2% at December 31, 2012).
	Future maturities of the Company’s debt (excluding the remaining amount of unamortized discount and capital leases) are approximately $284.1 million in 2014, $251.1 million in 2015, $271.4 million in 2016, $450.0 million in 2018 and $1.55 billion thereafter.
	In addition to the above, the Company also has other unsecured and uncommitted credit facilities available to its foreign subsidiaries to fund ongoing operating activities. Certain of these facilities also include annual facility fees.
	Information on interest expensed and paid during the three years ended December 31, 2013 was as follows:

	Balance at end of year		$	102.6			$	121		$	148.4
	The Company has a $6.6 million accrual for unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013, for which the uncertainties surrounding the benefits are expected to be settled during the next twelve-month period as a result of the conclusion of various income tax audits or due to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The Company is not currently aware of any material amounts included as unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013 that, if recognized, would not impact the Company’s future effective income tax rate.
There were no material payments for interest or penalties for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011. Also, there were no material accruals for unpaid interest or penalties at December 31, 2013 or 2012.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States, various domestic states and localities and in many foreign jurisdictions. The earliest years’ tax returns filed by the Company that are still subject to examination by authorities in the major tax jurisdictions are as follows:
United States	United Kingdom	Canada	France	Germany	Norway	Singapore	Italy
2000	2007	2006	2010	2008	2010	2004	2007
At December 31, 2013, the Company had net operating loss and credit carryforwards in numerous jurisdictions with various expiration periods, including certain jurisdictions which have no expiration period.  Changes in the Company’s valuation allowances against these net operating loss and credit carryforwards and other deferred tax assets were as follows:
		Year Ended December 31,
(dollars in millions)		2013				2012			2011
Balance at beginning of year		$	84.2			$	29.7		$	96.2
Valuation allowances for unutilized net operating losses and excess foreign tax credits generated in the current year			10.7				35.9			–
Valuation allowances on foreign tax credits associated with a prior year			4.5				19.5			–
Reduction in valuation allowances due to utilization of prior years’ net operating losses and excess foreign tax credits			(20.3	)			–			(57.9	)
Write-off of valuation allowances and associated deferred tax assets for certain losses that have no possibility of being utilized			(18.8	)			–			(6.0	)
Effect of translation			(1.4	)			(0.9	)		(2.6	)
Balance at end of year		$	58.9			$	84.2		$	29.7
The Company has considered all available evidence in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, including future taxable income, future foreign source income, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In the event the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the net deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
Tax attribute carryforwards which are available for use on future income tax returns at December 31, 2013 are as follows:
(dollars in millions)		Domestic				Foreign			Expiration
Net operating losses - regular income tax		$	–			$	516.8		2014 - Indefinite
Net operating losses – state income tax		$	3.5			$	–			2016 - 2027
Foreign tax credits		$	124.1			$	–			2016 - 2022
The tax benefit that the Company receives with respect to certain stock compensation plan transactions is credited to capital in excess of par value and does not reduce income tax expense. This benefit amounted to $9.5 million, $11.5 million and $4.9 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Company considers all unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, except certain amounts primarily earned before 2003, certain amounts earned during 2009, certain amounts earned by NATCO, and amounts previously subjected to tax in the U.S., to be permanently reinvested. An estimate of the amounts considered permanently reinvested is $4.7 billion. It is not practical for the Company to compute the amount of additional U.S. tax that would be due on this amount. The Company has provided deferred income taxes on the earnings that the Company anticipates will be remitted.
The Company operates in jurisdictions, primarily Singapore and Malaysia, in which it has been granted tax holidays. The benefit of these holidays for 2013, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $6.5 million, $2.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Business Segments [Abstract]	'
Business Segments	'
	The Company’s operations are organized into three separate business segments - DPS, V&M and PCS.
	The DPS segment includes businesses that provide systems and equipment used to drill, control pressures and direct flows of oil and gas wells. Products include drilling equipment packages, blowout preventers, drilling risers, top drives, draw works, complete wellhead and Christmas tree systems for onshore and offshore applications, subsea production systems and manifolds and aftermarket parts and services.
	The V&M segment includes businesses that provide valves and measurement systems primarily used to control, direct and measure the flow of oil and gas as they are moved from individual wellheads through flow lines, gathering lines and transmission systems to refineries, petrochemical plants and industrial centers for processing. Products include gate valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, Orbit® valves, double block and bleed valves, plug valves, globe valves, check valves, actuators, chokes and aftermarket parts and services as well as measurement products such as totalizers, turbine meters, flow computers, chart recorders, ultrasonic flow meters and sampling systems.
	The PCS segment includes businesses that provide oil and gas separation equipment, heaters, dehydration and desalting units, gas conditioning units, membrane separation systems, water processing systems, reciprocating and integrally geared centrifugal compression equipment and related aftermarket parts and services for the energy industry and for manufacturing companies and chemical process industries worldwide.  In early 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Reciprocating Compression business and announced its intention to explore strategic alternatives for its Centrifugal Compression business (see Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information).
	The Company’s primary customers are oil and gas majors, national oil companies, independent producers, engineering and construction companies, drilling contractors, rental companies, geothermal energy and independent power producers, pipeline operators, major chemical, petrochemical and refining companies, natural gas processing and transmission companies, compression leasing companies, durable goods manufacturers, utilities and air separation companies.
	The Company markets its equipment through a worldwide network of sales and marketing employees supported by agents and distributors in selected international locations. Due to the extremely technical nature of many of the products, the marketing effort is further supported by a staff of engineering employees.
	The Company expenses all research and product development and enhancement costs as incurred, or if incurred in connection with a product ordered by a customer, when the revenue associated with the product is recognized. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred research and product development costs, including costs incurred on projects designed to enhance or add to its existing product offerings, totaling approximately $83.1 million, $62.7 million and $60.6 million, respectively. DPS accounted for 73%, 67% and 59% of each respective year’s total costs.

	For internal management reporting, and therefore in the above segment information, Corporate and Other includes expenses associated with the Company’s Corporate office, as well as all of the Company’s interest income, interest expense, certain litigation expense managed by the Company’s General Counsel, foreign currency gains and losses from certain derivative and intercompany lending activities managed by the Company’s centralized Treasury function, all of the Company’s pension settlement costs, asset impairment and restructuring expense, acquisition-related costs and all stock compensation expense of Cameron employees. Consolidated interest income and expense are treated as a Corporate item because cash equivalents, short-term investments and debt, including location, type, currency, etc., are managed on a worldwide basis by the Corporate Treasury Department. In addition, income taxes are managed on a worldwide basis by the Corporate Tax Department and are therefore treated as a corporate item.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Guarantees, Concentrations of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Note 18: Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Guarantees, Concentrations of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Guarantees
	At December 31, 2013, the Company was contingently liable with respect to approximately $1,124.8 million of bank guarantees and standby letters of credit issued on its behalf by major domestic and international financial institutions in connection with the delivery, installation and performance of the Company’s products under contract with customers throughout the world. The Company was also liable to these financial institutions for financial letters of credit and other guarantees issued on its behalf totaling nearly $21.1 million, which provide security to third parties relating to the Company’s ability to meet specified financial obligations, including payment of leases, customs duties, insurance and other matters. Additionally, the Company was liable for approximately $23.9 million of insurance bonds at December 31, 2013 relating to the requirements in certain foreign jurisdictions where the Company does business that the Company hold insurance bonds rather than bank guarantees.
	The Company’s other off-balance sheet risks were not material at December 31, 2013.
	Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers
	Apart from its normal exposure to its customers, who are predominantly in the energy industry, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit risk at December 31, 2013. The Company typically does not require collateral for its customer trade receivables but does often obtain letters of credit from third party banks as security for future payment on certain large product shipments.  Allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded for estimated losses that may result from the inability of customers to make required payments.  See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, trade payables, derivative instruments and debt instruments. The book values of trade receivables, trade payables and floating-rate debt instruments are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.
	Following is a summary of the Company’s financial instruments which have been valued at fair value in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012:
		Fair Value Based on					Fair Value Based on					Total

	Fair values for financial instruments utilizing level 2 inputs were determined from information obtained from third party pricing sources, broker quotes, calculations involving the use of market indices or mutual fund unit values determined based upon the valuation of the funds’ underlying assets.
	At December 31, 2013, the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt (based on Level 1 quoted market rates) was approximately $2.66 billion as compared to the $2.50 billion face value of the debt recorded, net of original issue discounts, in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.  At December 31, 2012, the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt (based on Level 1 quoted market rates) was approximately $2.06 billion as compared to the $1.75 billion face value of the debt.
	Derivative Contracts
	In order to mitigate the effect of exchange rate changes, the Company will often attempt to structure sales contracts to provide for collections from customers in the currency in which the Company incurs its manufacturing costs. In certain instances, the Company will enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge specific large anticipated receipts or disbursements in currencies for which the Company does not traditionally have fully offsetting local currency expenditures or receipts. The Company was party to a number of long-term foreign currency forward contracts at December 31, 2013. The purpose of the majority of these contracts was to hedge large anticipated non-functional currency cash flows on major subsea, drilling, valve or other equipment contracts involving the Company’s United States operations and its wholly-owned subsidiaries in Australia, France, Italy, Malaysia, Norway, Singapore and the United Kingdom. Many of these contracts have been designated as and are accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of those contracts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the period such change occurs.  Certain other contracts, many of which are centrally managed, are intended to offset other foreign currency exposures but have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and, therefore, any change in the fair value of those contracts are reflected in earnings in the period such change occurs.  The Company determines the fair value of its outstanding foreign currency forward contracts based on quoted exchange rates for the respective currencies applicable to similar instruments.
	The Company manages its debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates and employs from time to time interest rate swaps as a tool to achieve that goal.
	Total gross volume bought (sold) by notional currency and maturity date on open foreign currency forward contracts at December 31, 2013 was as follows:

Contingencies [Abstract]	'
Contingencies	'
	Note 19: Contingencies
	The Company is subject to a number of contingencies, including litigation, tax contingencies and environmental matters.
	Litigation
	The Company also has been and continues to be named as a defendant in a number of multi-defendant, multi-plaintiff tort lawsuits. At December 31, 2013, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet included a liability of approximately $14.8 million for such cases. The Company believes, based on its review of the facts and law, that the potential exposure from these suits will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
	Tax and Other Contingencies
	The Company has legal entities in over 50 countries. As a result, the Company is subject to various tax filing requirements in these countries. The Company prepares its tax filings in a manner which it believes is consistent with such filing requirements. However, some of the tax laws and regulations to which the Company is subject require interpretation and/or judgment. Although the Company believes the tax liabilities for periods ending on or before the balance sheet date have been adequately provided for in the financial statements, to the extent a taxing authority believes the Company has not prepared its tax filings in accordance with the authority’s interpretation of the tax laws and regulations, the Company could be exposed to additional taxes.
	The Company has been assessed customs duties and penalties by the government of Brazil totaling almost $50.0 million at December 31, 2013, including interest accrued at local country rates, following a customs audit for the years 2003-2010.  The Company filed an administrative appeal and believes a majority of this assessment will ultimately be proven to be incorrect because of numerous errors in the assessment, and because the government has not provided appropriate supporting documentation for the assessment.  As a result, the Company currently expects no material adverse impact on its results of operations or cash flows as a result of the ultimate resolution of this matter.  No amounts have been accrued for this assessment as of December 31, 2013 as no loss is currently considered probable.
	Environmental Matters
	The Company is currently identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) with respect to two sites designated for cleanup under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or similar state laws. One of these sites is Osborne, Pennsylvania (a landfill into which a predecessor of the PCS operation in Grove City, Pennsylvania deposited waste), where remediation was completed in 2011 and remaining costs relate to ongoing ground water monitoring. The other is believed to be a de minimis exposure. The Company is also engaged in site cleanup under the Voluntary Cleanup Plan of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality at former manufacturing locations in Houston and Missouri City, Texas. Additionally, the Company has discontinued operations at a number of other sites which had been active for many years and which may have yet undiscovered contamination. The Company does not believe, based upon information currently available, that there are any material environmental liabilities existing at these locations. At December 31, 2013, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet included a noncurrent liability of approximately $3.2 million for these environmental matters.
	In 2001, the Company discovered that contaminated underground water from the former manufacturing site in Houston referenced above had migrated under an adjacent residential area. Pursuant to applicable state regulations, the Company notified the affected homeowners. Concerns over the impact on property values of the underground water contamination and its public disclosure led to a number of claims by homeowners.  The Company has settled these claims, primarily as a result of the settlement of a class action lawsuit, and is obligated to reimburse approximately 190 homeowners for any diminution in value of their property due to contamination concerns at the time of the property’s sale. Test results of monitoring wells on the southeastern border of the plume indicate that the plume is moving in a new direction, likely as a result of a ground water drainage system completed as part of an interstate highway improvement project.  As a result, the Company notified 39 additional homeowners, and may provide notice to additional homeowners, whose property is adjacent to the class area that their property may be affected.  The Company is reviewing whether additional remedial measures are appropriate.  The Company believes, based on its review of the facts and law, that any potential exposure from existing agreements as well as any possible new claims that may be filed with respect to this underground water contamination will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. The Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet included a liability of approximately $7.1 million for these matters as of December 31, 2013.

Subsequent Events	'
	Note 20: Subsequent Events
	On January 20, 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Reciprocating Compression business, a division of the PCS segment, to General Electric for cash consideration of approximately $550 million, subject to closing adjustments.  Closing on the sale is expected during the third quarter of 2014.  The Company currently expects to report an after-tax loss, including the write-off of non-deductible goodwill, most of which will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements for the first quarter of 2014.  The Reciprocating Compression business, which had revenues of nearly $302 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, will be reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning in the first quarter of 2014.  The Company plans to use the estimated after tax proceeds from the sale to partially fund its existing share repurchase program.
	At the same time, the Company also announced that it intends to explore strategic alternatives for the Centrifugal Compression business, another of the divisions of the PCS segment, to further enhance the Company’s focus on its core businesses.  The Centrifugal Compression division, which had revenues of approximately $398 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, will continue to be reported in the Company’s continuing operations while the Company is exploring the various strategic alternatives for this business.

Summary_of_Major_Accounting_Po1

Summary of Major Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Summary of Major Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments from 20% to 50% in affiliated companies are accounted for using the equity method.
Estimates in Financial Statements	'
	Estimates in Financial Statements — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of total contract profit or loss on certain long-term production contracts, estimated losses on accounts receivable, estimated realizable value on excess and obsolete inventory, contingencies, including tax contingencies, estimated liabilities for litigation exposures and liquidated damages, estimated warranty costs, estimates related to pension accounting, estimates used to determine fair values in purchase accounting, estimates related to the fair value of reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment, estimated proceeds from assets held for sale and estimates related to deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition — The Company generally recognizes revenue, net of sales taxes, once the following four criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery of the equipment has occurred or the customer has taken title and risk of loss or services have been rendered, (iii) the price of the equipment or service is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. For certain engineering, procurement and construction-type contracts, which typically include the Company’s subsea and drilling systems and processing equipment contracts, revenue is recognized in accordance with accounting rules relating to construction-type and production-type contracts. Under this guidance, the Company recognizes revenue on these contracts based upon completion of milestones using a units-of-completion method. However, for certain specific types of drilling and subsea systems contracts which have different characteristics than our other contracts, we use the cost-to-cost method of accounting. Under the units-of-completion method, revenue and cost of sales are recognized once the manufacturing process is complete for each milestone included in the contract, including customer inspection and acceptance, if required by the contract. Under the cost-to-cost method, revenue and cost of sales are recognized in the ratio of actual costs incurred to date on the project in relation to total estimated project costs. Both methods require the Company to make estimates regarding the total costs of the project, which impacts the amount of gross margin the Company recognizes in each reporting period. The Company routinely, and at least quarterly, reviews its estimates relating to total estimated contract profit or loss and recognizes changes in those estimates as they are determined. Revenue associated with change orders is not included in the calculation of estimated profit on a contract until approved by the customer. Costs associated with unapproved change orders are deferred if (i) the customer acknowledges a change has occurred and (ii) it is probable that the costs will be recoverable from the customer. If these two conditions are not met, the costs are included in the calculation of estimated profit on the project. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident.
	Approximately 29%, 23% and 26% of the Company's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were recognized under the accounting rules for construction-type and production-type contracts.
Shipping and Handling Costs	'
	Shipping and Handling Costs — Shipping and handling costs are reflected in the caption entitled “Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below)” in the accompanying Consolidated Results of Operations statements.
Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments	'
	Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments — Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.  Short-term investments consist primarily of commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. non-governmental agency asset-backed securities and corporate debt obligations that have maturities of more than three months but less than one year.  All of our short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	'
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Such allowances are based upon several factors including, but not limited to, historical experience, the length of time an invoice has been outstanding, responses from customers relating to demands for payment and the current and projected financial condition of specific customers.
Inventories	'
	Inventories — Aggregate inventories are carried at cost or, if lower, net realizable value. On the basis of current costs, 49% of inventories at December 31, 2013 and 53% at December 31, 2012 are carried on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. For these locations, the use of LIFO results in a better matching of costs and revenues. The remaining inventories, which are generally located outside the United States and Canada, are carried on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company provides a reserve for estimated inventory obsolescence or excess quantities on hand equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated realizable value.
Plant and Equipment	'
	Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment, both owned and under capital lease, are carried at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The cost of renewals, replacements and betterments is capitalized. The Company capitalizes software developed or obtained for internal use. Accordingly, the cost of third-party software, as well as the cost of third-party and internal personnel that are directly involved in application development activities, are capitalized during the application development phase of new software systems projects. Costs during the preliminary project stage and post-implementation stage of new software systems projects, including data conversion and training costs, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, or in the case of assets under capital leases, over the related lease term, if less, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of the major classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
		Estimated
		Useful Lives
	Buildings and leasehold improvements	10-40 years
	Machinery, equipment and tooling	3-18 years
	Office furniture, software and other	3-10 years
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets — Cameron allocates the purchase price of acquired businesses to their identifiable tangible assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, based on their estimated fair values.  The Company will also typically allocate a portion of the purchase price to certain identifiable intangible assets, such as noncompete agreements, trademarks, trade names, patents, technology, customer relationships and backlog using various widely accepted valuation techniques such as discounted future cash flows and the relief-from-royalty and excess earnings methods.  Each of these methods involves level 3 unobservable market inputs.  Any remaining excess of cost over allocated fair values is recorded as goodwill.  On many larger acquisitions, Cameron will engage third-party valuation experts to assist in determining the fair values for both the identifiable tangible and intangible assets.  Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application of the fair value techniques, including estimates of future cash flows, selling prices, replacement costs, royalty rates for use of assets, economic lives and the selection of a discount rate.
	The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill in accordance with accounting rules on impairment of goodwill, which require that the Company estimate the fair value of each of its reporting units annually, or when impairment indicators exist, and compare such amounts to their respective carrying values to determine if an impairment of goodwill is required.  Generally, this review is conducted during the first quarter of each annual period.  The estimated fair value of each reporting unit for the 2013, 2012 and 2011 evaluations was determined using discounted future expected cash flows (level 3 unobservable inputs) consistent with the accounting guidance for fair-value measurements. Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application of the fair value models, including, but not limited to, estimates of future cash flows and the selection of a discount rate.  At December 31, 2013, the Company’s reporting units for goodwill impairment evaluation purposes were the Drilling, Surface and OneSubsea businesses of the DPS segment, the Engineered Valves, Distributed Valves, Process Valves, Measurement Systems divisions and the Aftermarket Services business of the V&M segment and the Process Systems & Reciprocating Compression, Custom Process Systems and Centrifugal Compression divisions of the PCS segment.  See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the Reciprocating Compression and Centrifugal Compression businesses.
	The Company’s intangible assets, excluding goodwill, represent purchased patents, trademarks, customer relationships and other identifiable intangible assets. The majority of intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the years expected to be benefited, generally ranging from 5 to 28 years. Such intangibles are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. As many areas of the Company’s business rely on patents and proprietary technology, it has followed a policy of seeking patent protection both inside and outside the United States for products and methods that appear to have commercial significance. The costs of developing any intangibles internally, as well as costs of defending such intangibles, are expensed as incurred. No material impairment of intangible assets was required during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011, except as reflected in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Long-Lived Assets	'
	Long-Lived Assets — In accordance with accounting rules for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, such assets, excluding goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, to be held and used by the Company are reviewed to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company bases its evaluation on impairment indicators such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements and other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, the Company determines whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flow analysis of the asset at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If an impairment has occurred, the Company recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Assets are classified as held for sale when the Company has a plan, approved by the appropriate levels of management,  for disposal of such assets and those assets are stated at the lower of carrying value as estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.  No material impairment of long-lived assets was required during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011.
Product Warranty	'
	Product Warranty — Estimated warranty costs are accrued either at the time of sale based upon historical experience or, in some cases, when specific warranty problems are encountered. Adjustments to the recorded liability are made periodically to reflect actual experience.
Contingencies	'
	Contingencies — The Company accrues for costs relating to litigation, including litigation defense costs, claims, assessments and other contingent matters, including liquidated damage liabilities, when such liabilities become probable and reasonably estimable. Such estimates may be based on advice from third parties, amounts specified by contract, amounts designated by legal statute or management’s judgment, as appropriate. Revisions to contingent liability reserves are reflected in income in the period in which different facts or information become known or circumstances change that affect the Company’s previous assumptions with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Amounts paid upon the ultimate resolution of contingent liabilities may be materially different from previous estimates and could require adjustments to the estimated reserves to be recognized in the period such new information becomes known.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes — The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Income tax expense includes U.S. and foreign income taxes, including U.S. federal taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries to the extent such earnings are planned to be remitted. Taxes are not provided on the translation component of comprehensive income since the effect of translation is not considered to modify the amount of the earnings that are planned to be remitted.
	The Company accounts for uncertainties in its income tax positions in accordance with income tax accounting rules.  Interest related to accruals for uncertain tax positions is reflected as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Results of Operations statement. Penalties on a tax position taken by the Company are reflected as a component of income tax expense in the Consolidated Results of Operations statement. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Company’s income taxes.
Environmental Remediation and Compliance	'
	Environmental Remediation and Compliance — Environmental remediation and postremediation monitoring costs are accrued when such obligations become probable and reasonably estimable. Such future expenditures are not discounted to their present value.
Pension and Postretirement Benefits Accounting	'
	Pension and Postretirement Benefits Accounting — The Company recognizes the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans in its Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The measurement date for all of the Company’s plans was December 31, 2013.  See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation — At December 31, 2013, the Company had grants outstanding under various stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described in further detail in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Compensation expense for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans is measured using the fair value method required by accounting rules on stock compensation. Under this guidance, the fair value of stock option grants and restricted stock unit awards is amortized to expense using the straight-line method over the shorter of the vesting period or the remaining employee service period.
Derivative Financial Instruments	'
	Derivative Financial Instruments — Consistent with accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, the Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as assets and liabilities on a gross basis and measures them at fair value.  Hedge accounting is only applied when the derivative is deemed highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other elements of comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings, at which time any deferred hedging gains or losses are reclassified to earnings in the same income statement caption as impacted by the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative used as a cash flow hedge is recorded in earnings as incurred. The amounts recorded in earnings from ineffectiveness for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 have not been material. The Company may at times also use forward or option contracts to hedge certain other foreign currency exposures. These contracts are not designated as hedges under the accounting guidance described above.  Therefore, the changes in fair value of these contracts are recognized in earnings as they occur and offset gains or losses on the related exposures.
	The Company may also periodically use interest rate swaps to modify the interest characteristics of some or all of its fixed or floating rate debt.  As these interest rate swaps are generally not designated as hedges, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as they occur.
Foreign Currency	'
	Foreign Currency — For most subsidiaries and branches outside the U.S., the local currency is the functional currency.  The financial statements of these subsidiaries and branches are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: (i) assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates; (ii) income, expenses and cash flows at monthly average exchange rates or exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction; and (iii) stockholders’ equity at historical exchange rates. For those subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional currency, the resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other elements of comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	For certain other subsidiaries and branches, operations are conducted primarily in currencies other than the local currencies, which are therefore the functional currency. Non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at ending exchange rates. Revenue, expense and gain and loss accounts of these foreign subsidiaries and branches are remeasured at average exchange rates or exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction. Non-functional currency non-monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts are remeasured at historical rates.
	Foreign currency gains and losses arising from monetary transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in income. The effects of foreign currency transactions were a gain of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a loss of $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and a loss of $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
