Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income TaxesDuring the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a total income tax provision of $103 million on a pre-tax
income of $306 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.7% for the quarter. The effective tax rate for this period was
primarily impacted by the additional valuation allowance recognized on our deferred tax assets, which resulted from the pre-tax
$356 million of impairments and other charges. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a total income tax
provision of $178 million on a pre-tax income of $787 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.6% for the quarter.
Our tax returns are subject to review by the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions where we file tax returns. In most
cases we are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years before 2013. The only significant operating
jurisdiction that has tax filings under review or subject to examination by the tax authorities is the United States. The United
States federal income tax filings for tax years 2016 through 2023 are currently under review or remain open for review by the
Internal Revenue Service (the IRS).
As of March 31, 2025, the primary unresolved issue for the IRS audit for 2016 relates to the classification of the
$3.5 billion ordinary deduction that we claimed for the termination fee we paid to Baker Hughes in the second quarter of 2016
for which we received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (NOPA) from the IRS on September 28, 2023. We regularly assess the
likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax examinations to determine the adequacy of our tax reserves, and we believe
our income tax reserves are appropriately provided for all open tax years. We do not expect a final resolution of this issue in the
next twelve months.
Based on the information currently available, we do not anticipate a significant increase or decrease to our tax
contingencies within the next twelve months.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires greater disaggregation of
income tax disclosures. The new standard requires additional information to be disclosed with respect to the income tax rate
reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU should be applied prospectively for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2024, with retrospective application permitted. The Company will adopt this standard for the
Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025, on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating these new
disclosure requirements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
