In November 2016, we shut down our U.S. pressure pumping operations and idled our assets. In January 2017, we purchased certain leased equipment utilized in our North America pressure pumping business for a total amount of $240 million. We intend to dispose of our U.S. pressure pumping business through a sale or by partnering up with another company to form a joint venture.
