Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

Our three reporting segments are (i) crude oil marketing, (ii) tank truck transportation of liquid chemicals and dry bulk, and (iii) oil and gas exploration and production. Our oil and gas exploration and production segment filed for bankruptcy in April 2017 (see Note 3), and as a result of the loss of control, was deconsolidated and is being accounted for under the cost method. AREC remained a reportable segment until its deconsolidation, effective April 30, 2017.

Information concerning our various business activities is summarized as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):
