Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

(9)           SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our reportable segments which consist of BWI and HBI are aligned around our energy assets which are managed separately.  We have included activity of our parent company, HKN, in our disclosure to reconcile to our consolidated operating loss and total assets.  HKN, which includes our investment in Global, performs general corporate activities such as corporate reporting and governance, financing, management and growth of current operations and the evaluation of new investment opportunities.  Our accounting policies for each of our operating segments are the same as those for our consolidated condensed financial statements. Intersegment interest income and intersegment expenses between our parent company and BWI or HBI have been eliminated in consolidation. There were no intersegment sales or transfers for the periods presented.

Our BWI segment owns a patented oilfield emulsion breaking technology. This is a continuous process technology that can purify oilfield emulsions by breaking and separating the emulsions into oil, water and solids, thereby reducing the environmental impact and operating costs of the disposition of residual fuels and waste materials while recovering valuable oil. See Note 2 –“BriteWater International, Inc.” for further discussion.

Our HBI segment holds non-operated working interests in properties strategically located in the Bakken and Niobrara shale oil plays.  See Note 3 – “HKN Bakken, Inc.” for further discussion.

Our financial information, expressed in thousands, for each of our operating segments for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:
