Acquisitions

From time to time, we acquire businesses we believe are important to our long-term strategy. Results of operations for acquisitions are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition. The balances included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to current year acquisitions are based on preliminary information and are subject to change when final asset valuations are obtained and the potential for liabilities has been evaluated. The purchase price for the acquisitions is allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

In April 2014, we acquired, via a step acquisition, an additional 30% ownership interest in a joint venture in China. We paid $13 million for the incremental interest, thereby increasing our ownership interest from 45% to 75% and gaining control of the joint venture. As a result of this transaction, we adjusted our previously held equity investment to fair value, recognizing an approximate $16 million gain, and we applied the consolidation method of accounting, recognizing $6 million of goodwill and $30 million of cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we acquired other businesses for cash consideration of $7 million, net of cash acquired.

Divestitures and Assets Held for Sale

In July 2014, we completed the sale of our land drilling and workover rig operations in Russia and Venezuela for proceeds totaling $499 million plus estimated working capital of $10 million. As a result of our commitment to sell, we recorded a $143 million long-lived assets impairment loss and a $121 million goodwill impairment loss in the second quarter of 2014. Of the $121 million goodwill impairment loss, $95 million pertained to goodwill attributable to our divested land drilling and workover rig operations in Russia. See Note 6 – Goodwill for additional information regarding the goodwill impairment. Following the previous recorded impairments, and upon closing the transaction in July 2014, we recognized a loss of approximately $10 million, however, the final proceeds and loss recognition are subject to settlement of working capital adjustments.

In September 2014, we completed the sale of our pipeline and specialty services business for proceeds totaling $246 million. We recognized a gain of approximately $50 million resulting from this transaction. The final proceeds and gain recognition are subject to settlement of working capital adjustments.

Our land drilling and workover rig operations in Russia and Venezuela, pipeline and specialty services business and well testing business were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013. As indicated above, in the third quarter of 2014, we completed the sale of land drilling and workover rig operations in Russia and Venezuela and pipeline and specialty services business. As of September 30, 2014, only our well testing business was classified as held for sale.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the assets and liabilities held for sale in connection with our planned divestitures are listed in the table below.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we completed the sale of our industrial screen business for proceeds totaling $135 million. Proceeds consisted of $100 million in cash and a $35 million receivable, which was subsequently collected. Through our industrial screen operations, we delivered screen technologies used in numerous industries and, as a result, the screen business was not closely aligned with our goals as a leading provider of equipment and services used in the drilling, evaluation, completion, production and intervention of oil and natural gas wells. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized gains of $8 million resulting from the industrial screen transactions.

On October 7, 2013, we closed the sale of our 38.5% equity interest in Borets International Limited ("Borets") for $400 million pursuant to an agreement executed August 21, 2013. Borets is an electric submersible pump manufacturer that operates in Russia. The $400 million in consideration consists of $370 million in cash and a three-year $30 million promissory note. At closing we collected $325 million in cash and the remaining cash consideration was collected in November 2013.
