Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
We currently operate our business through two reportable segments: Fluids Systems and Industrial Solutions. In addition, we had a third reportable segment, Industrial Blending, which was exited in 2022. We have reflected these three reportable segments for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our Fluids Systems segment provides customized drilling and completion fluids products and related technical services to oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) customers primarily in North America and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), as well as certain countries in Asia Pacific.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, we exited two of our Fluids Systems business units, including our U.S.-based mineral grinding business as well as our Gulf of Mexico fluids operations (see Note 11 for additional information). Additionally, in June 2023, we announced that we engaged Lazard to assist us in a review of strategic alternatives for the long-term positioning of our Fluids Systems division. See Note 11 for further information.
Our Industrial Solutions segment provides temporary worksite access solutions, including the rental of our recyclable composite matting systems, along with related site construction and services to customers in various markets including power transmission, E&P, pipeline, renewable energy, petrochemical, construction and other industries, primarily in the United States and United Kingdom. We also manufacture and sell our recyclable composite mats to customers around the world, with power transmission being the primary end-market.
Our Industrial Blending segment began operations in 2020 and supported industrial end-markets, including the production of disinfectants and industrial cleaning products. We completed the wind down of the Industrial Blending business in the first quarter of 2022, and we completed the sale of the industrial blending assets in the fourth quarter of 2022.
