During the year ended December 31, 2022, due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and resulting sanctions imposed on Russia, we made the decision to sell our Russian operations and completed the sale in the third quarter of 2022. We wrote down the disposal group to fair value less costs to sell, which resulted in a pre-tax charge of $344 million. Of this pre-tax charge, approximately $131 million was attributable to our Completion and Production segment, approximately $178 million was attributable to our Drilling and Evaluation segment, and $35 million was selling costs and was attributable to Corporate and other. We no longer conduct operations in Russia. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2022, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $22 million primarily related to the write down of all our assets in Ukraine. Included in this charge is a $16 million allowance for credit loss as we do not expect to collect our receivables in Ukraine. Long-lived asset impairments include impairments of property, plant, and equipment.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, $12 million of impairments and other charges was recorded due to the decision to discontinue the proposed sale of our Pipeline and Process Services business and as a result we recorded a $36 million charge for accumulated unrecognized depreciation and amortization expense during the period the associated assets were classified as held for sale. Additionally, we finalized a structured transaction relating to most of our owned United States real estate. As a result of the transaction, we derecognized $358 million of assets previously held for sale included in Other current assets and recognized an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary of $349 million included in Other Assets, which resulted in a gain of $74 million, due to specific assets with a carrying amount less than the fair value.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the $2.6 billion of long-lived asset impairments consisted of the following: $1.0 billion attributable to hydraulic fracturing equipment, the majority of which was located in North America; $297 million related to drilling-related services equipment; $191 million related to right-of-use assets, primarily operating leases; $131 million related to intangible assets; and $394 million associated with other fixed asset impairments. Also included in "Long-lived asset impairments" was $616 million for a fair value adjustment on real estate properties held for sale, primarily related to a contemplated structured transaction for our North America real estate assets due to specific assets with a fair value less than the carrying amount. Inventory costs and write-downs for 2020 in the table above primarily represent disposal of excess inventory, including drilling fluids and other chemicals, and write-downs in which some of our inventory cost exceeded its market value.
