Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies Litigation In the ordinary course of our business, from time to time, we have various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings that are pending or threatened with respect to commercial, intellectual property and employee matters. On July 24, 2018, we filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Kobold Corporation, Kobold Completions Inc. and 2039974 Alberta Ltd. (“Kobold”) in the Federal Court of Canada, alleging that Kobold’s fracturing tools and methods infringe on several of our Canadian patents. We previously filed a breach of contract lawsuit on March 16, 2018, against Kobold Corporation in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, alleging breach of a prior settlement agreement. Both of these lawsuits seek unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. In early February 2019, we filed a lawsuit against Diamondback Industries, Inc. (“Diamondback”) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, alleging patent infringement, breach of contract and related claims stemming from Diamondback’s breach of an exclusive license, granted by Diamondback to Repeat Precision, to a patent necessary for the manufacture and sale of a disposable setting tool. Around the same time, Diamondback filed a lawsuit against Repeat Precision and various NCS entities in an effort to invalidate the exclusive license agreement and requested monetary damages. We believe the exclusive license is enforceable and there is no basis to support the claims asserted by Diamondback and we intend to vigorously enforce our rights under the license agreement. In accordance with GAAP, we accrue for contingencies where the occurrence of a material loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, based on our estimate of the expected liability. If we have any outstanding legal accruals, we may increase or decrease these in the future, on a matter-by-matter basis, to account for developments. Our assessment of the likely outcome of litigation matters is based on our judgment of a number of factors, including experience with similar matters, past history, precedents, relevant financial information and other evidence and facts specific to the matter. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with any certainty, based on a consideration of relevant facts and circumstances, our management currently does not expect that the results of these legal proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Litigation

In the ordinary course of our business, from time to time, we have various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings that are pending or threatened with respect to commercial, intellectual property and employee matters.

On July 24, 2018, we filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Kobold Corporation, Kobold Completions Inc. and 2039974 Alberta Ltd. (“Kobold”) in the Federal Court of Canada, alleging that Kobold’s fracturing tools and methods infringe on several of our Canadian patents. We previously filed a breach of contract lawsuit on March 16, 2018, against Kobold Corporation in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, alleging breach of a prior settlement agreement. Both of these lawsuits seek unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief.

In early February 2019, we filed a lawsuit against Diamondback Industries, Inc. (“Diamondback”) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, alleging patent infringement, breach of contract and related claims stemming from Diamondback’s breach of an exclusive license, granted by Diamondback to Repeat Precision, to a patent necessary for the manufacture and sale of a disposable setting tool. Around the same time, Diamondback filed a lawsuit against Repeat Precision and various NCS entities in an effort to invalidate the exclusive license agreement and requested monetary damages. We believe the exclusive license is enforceable and there is no basis to support the claims asserted by Diamondback and we intend to vigorously enforce our rights under the license agreement.

In accordance with GAAP, we accrue for contingencies where the occurrence of a material loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, based on our estimate of the expected liability. If we have any outstanding legal accruals, we may increase or decrease these in the future, on a matter-by-matter basis, to account for developments. Our assessment of the likely outcome of litigation matters is based on our judgment of a number of factors, including experience with similar matters, past history, precedents, relevant financial information and other evidence and facts specific to the matter. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with any certainty, based on a consideration of relevant facts and circumstances, our management currently does not expect that the results of these legal proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
