Acquisitions	Note 6 Acquisitions 2014 Acquisitions In October 2014, we purchased the outstanding shares of 2TD Drilling AS ("2TD"), a drilling technology company based out of Norway. 2TD is in the process of developing a rotary steerable system for directional drilling which, once developed will be included in our Rig Services segment. Under the terms of the transaction, we paid an initial amount of $40.3 million for the purchase of the shares. We may also be required to make future payments of up to an additional $40.0 million, contingent on the achievement of various milestone objectives. As part of our preliminary purchase price allocation, we have recorded intangible assets of $47.7 million (in process research and development), goodwill of $17.3 million and contingent consideration of $24.7 million. The proforma effect on revenue and net income have been determined to be immaterial to our financial statements. 2013 Acquisitions In January 2013, we purchased the business of NES for a total cash price of approximately $37.5 million. NES operates primarily in Texas, Louisiana and North Dakota as a provider of drift-while-drilling and measure-while-drilling services and technology. Their business was focused on directional drilling by oil and gas exploration and development companies. This acquisition expands our technology and development capability for drilling and measurement tools and services, and is included in our Rig Services operating segment. The purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their fair value. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill in the amount of $15.8 million. In October 2013, we purchased KVS for total consideration of $149.0 million, $66.8 million of which is payable in three equal annual installments through 2016. KVS provides various logistics and support services operating in the oilfield and well-servicing industry. Services are provided by tractor trucks, bobtail trucks, winch trucks, other truck types, trailers, container bins, eyewash stations, various types of tanks, shop equipment and other related support equipment.
