Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
ACQUISITION OF NONCONTROLLING INTEREST IN GEOSTREAM	ACQUISITION OF NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS Geostream. On October 31, 2008, we acquired a 26% interest in OOO Geostream Services Group (“Geostream”), a limited liability company incorporated in the Russian Federation that provides a wide range of drilling, workover and reservoir engineering services for $17.4 million. On September 1, 2009, we acquired an additional 24% interest for $16.4 million, which brought our total investment in Geostream to 50% and provided us a controlling interest with representation on Geostream's board of directors. We accounted for the second investment as a business combination achieved in stages. The results of Geostream have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the initial acquisition date, with the portion outside of our control forming a noncontrolling interest. On April 9, 2013, we completed the acquisition of the 50% noncontrolling interest in Geostream for $14.6 million. Geostream is now our wholly owned subsidiary. This acquisition of the 50% noncontrolling interest in Geostream was accounted for as an equity transaction. Therefore, our acquisition of the non-controlling interest in Geostream in the second quarter of 2013 did not result in a gain or loss. AlMansoori Key Energy Services, LLC. On March 7, 2010, we entered into an agreement with AlMansoori Petroleum Services, LLC (“AlMansoori”) to form the joint venture AlMansoori Key Energy Services, LLC, a joint venture under the laws of Abu Dhabi, UAE. The purpose of the joint venture was to engage in conventional workover and drilling services, coiled tubing services, fishing and rental services, rig monitoring services, pipe handling services and fluids, waste treatment and handling services. Although AlMansoori held a 51% interest in the joint venture and we held a 49% interest, we held three of the five board of directors seats and a controlling financial interest. In addition, profits and losses of the joint venture were shared on equal terms and in equal amounts with AlMansoori. Because the joint venture did not have sufficient resources to carry on its activities without our financial support, we determined it to be a variable interest entity of which we were the primary beneficiary. We consolidated the entity in our financial statements. On August 5, 2013, we agreed to the dissolution of AlMansoori Key Energy Services, LLC and the acquisition of the underlying business for $5.1 million. The $5.1 million is expected to be paid in 2014 and is recorded in “Other current liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheet. The acquisition of the 51% noncontrolling interest in AlMansoori Key Energy Services, LLC was accounted for as an equity transaction therefore did not result in a gain or loss.
