Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Allowance for Credit Losses [Text Block]
Allowance for Credit Losses—Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Costs. We identify our allowance for credit losses based on future expected losses when accounts receivable, contract assets or held-to-maturity loan receivables are created rather than when losses are probable.

We use the loss-rate method in developing the allowance for credit losses, which involves identifying pools of assets with similar risk characteristics, reviewing historical losses within the last three years and consideration of reasonable supportable forecasts of economic indicators. Changes in estimates, developing trends and other new information could have material effects on future evaluations.

We monitor the credit quality of our accounts receivable and other financing receivable amounts by frequent customer interaction, following economic and industry trends and reviewing specific customer data. Our other receivable amounts include contract assets and held-to-maturity loans receivable, which we believe to have a low risk of loss.

We consider macroeconomic conditions when assessing our credit risk exposure, including any impacts from the conflicts in Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, volatility in the financial services industry and the oil and natural gas markets, tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, U.S. economic and monetary policy, and the effects thereof on our customers and various counterparties. We have determined the impacts to our credit loss expense are de minimis for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, our allowance for credit losses was $1.7 million for accounts receivable and $1.4 million for other receivables. As of December 31, 2024, our allowance for credit losses was $1.5 million for accounts receivable and $1.4 million for other receivables. Our total allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2025, as
compared to the same period in the prior year, increased slightly due to the corresponding increase in accounts receivable.

Financial assets are written off when deemed uncollectible and there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, we wrote off less than $0.1 million in financial assets and during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, we wrote off $0.1 million in financial assets.

Accounts receivable are considered to be past due after the end of the contractual terms agreed to with the customer. There were no material past-due amounts that we consider uncollectible for our financial assets as of March 31, 2025. We generally do not require collateral from our customers.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE
Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“Topic 740”), which applies to all entities subject to income taxes. Topic 740 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, including percentages and amounts, as well as information on income taxes paid, net of refunds disaggregated by federal, state, local and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is 5% or more of total income tax payments, net of refunds. Topic 740 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We anticipate that Topic 740 will only impact our disclosures and therefore do not expect that Topic 740 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires additional disclosure of the nature of certain expenses presented on the face of the income statement into specified categories in the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We anticipate that ASU 2024-03 will only impact our disclosures and therefore do not expect that ASU 2024-03 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation. Oceaneering International, Inc. (“Oceaneering,” “we,” “our” or “us”) has prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to instructions for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which we are required to file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial statements reflect all adjustments that we believe are necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2025 and our results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oceaneering and our 50% or more owned and controlled subsidiaries. We also consolidate entities that are determined to be variable interest entities if we determine that we are the primary beneficiary; otherwise, we account for those entities using the equity method of accounting. We use the equity method to account for our investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies of which we own an equity interest between 20% and 50% and as to which we have significant influence, but not control, over operations. We use the cost method for all other long-term investments. Investments in entities that we do not consolidate are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets in other noncurrent assets. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use Of Estimates
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that our management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of investment.
Inventory
Inventory. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine cost using the weighted-average method. We periodically review the value of items in inventory and record write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on our assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of services and products. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, we recorded an increase to our inventory reserve related to a write-down of $10 million associated with our theme park ride business in our Manufactured Products segment. We did not record any write-downs or write-offs of inventory in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. Our inventory reserve was $46 million and $36 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Goodwill. Our goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually and whenever we identify certain triggering events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

In our annual evaluation of goodwill, we perform a qualitative or quantitative impairment test. Under the qualitative approach, if we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we are required to perform the quantitative analysis to determine the fair value for the reporting unit. We then compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. We also consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. We did not identify indicators of impairment for goodwill for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Foreign Currency Translations
Foreign Currency Translation. The functional currency for most of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date, and the resulting translation adjustments are recognized, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of shareholders' equity. All foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations. We recorded $1.1 million and $2.2 million of foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, resulting from foreign currency fluctuations in multiple countries. These amounts are included as a component of other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations.
Leases
Leases. We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception, whether as a lessee or a lessor. We take into consideration the elements of an identified asset, right to control and the receipt of economic benefit in making those determinations.

As a lessor, we lease certain types of equipment along with the provision of services and utilize the expedient allowing us to combine the lease and non-lease components into a combined component that is accounted for (1) under the accounting standard “Leases” (“ASC 842”), when the lease component is predominant, and (2) under the accounting standard “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), when the service component is predominant. In general, when we have a service component, it is typically the predominant element and leads to accounting under ASC 606.

As a lessor, we lease certain types of equipment, often providing services at the same time. These leases can be priced on a dayrate or lump-sum basis for periods ranging from a few days to multi-year contracts. These leases are negotiated on commercial terms at market rates and many carry standard options to extend or terminate at our customer's discretion. These leases generally do not contain options to purchase, material restrictions or covenants that impact our accounting for leases.

As a lessee, we lease land, buildings, vessels and equipment for the operation of our business and to support some of our service line revenue streams. These generally carry lease terms that range from days for operational and support equipment up to 20 years for land and buildings. These leases are negotiated on commercial terms at market rates and many carry standard options to extend or terminate at our discretion. When the exercise of those options is reasonably certain, we include them in the lease assessment. Our leases do not contain material restrictions or covenants that impact our accounting for them, nor do we provide residual value guarantees.

As a lessee, we utilize the practical expedients to not recognize leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet and to combine lease and non-lease components together and account for the combined component as a lease for all asset classes, except real estate.

Right-of-use operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement or modification date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement or modification date in determining the present value of future payments. In determining the incremental borrowing rate, we considered our external credit ratings, bond yields for us and our identified peers, the risk-free rate in geographic regions where we operate, and the impact associated with providing collateral over a similar term as the lease for an amount equal to the future lease payments. Our right-of-use operating lease assets also include any lease prepayments made and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Revenue
Revenue Recognition. All our revenue is realized through contracts with customers. We recognize our revenue according to the contract type. On a daily basis, we recognize service revenue over time for contracts that provide for specific time, material and equipment charges, which we bill periodically, ranging from weekly to monthly. We use the input method to recognize revenue, because each day of service provided represents value to the customer. The performance obligations in these contracts are satisfied, and revenue is recognized, as the work is performed. When appropriate, we apply the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the amount invoiced when the invoice corresponds directly to the value of our performance to date.

We account for significant fixed-price contracts, primarily within our Manufactured Products segment, and to a lesser extent in our Offshore Projects Group (“OPG”) and Aerospace and Defense Technologies (“ADTech”) segments, by recognizing revenue over time using the cost-to-cost input method. A performance obligation is satisfied as we create a product on behalf of the customer over the life of the contract. The remainder of our revenue is recognized at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, thus satisfying the performance obligation.

We have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping as an expense when incurred. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, and that are collected by us from customers, are excluded from revenue.

In our service-based business lines, we principally charge on a dayrate basis for services provided. In our product-based business lines, predominantly in our Manufactured Products segment, we recognize revenue and profit using the percentage-of-completion method and exclude uninstalled materials and significant inefficiencies from the measure of progress.

While our contracts predominantly only contain one performance obligation and a limited number have variable
consideration, we apply judgment, when applicable, in the determination and allocation of transaction price to performance obligations, and the subsequent recognition of revenue, based on the facts and circumstances of each contract. We routinely review estimates related to our contracts and, when required, reflect revisions to profitability in earnings immediately. If an element of variable consideration has the potential for a significant future reversal of revenue, we will constrain that variable consideration to a level intended to remove the potential future reversal. If a current estimate of total contract cost indicates an ultimate loss on a contract, we recognize the projected loss in full when we determine it. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized projected losses of $2.9 million for five business contracts in our Manufactured Products segment. We did not have any material adjustments to transaction prices during the three months ended March 31, 2024. There could be significant adjustments to overall contract costs in the future, due to changes in facts and circumstances.
In general, our payment terms consist of those services billed regularly as provided and those products delivered at a point in time, which are invoiced after the performance obligation is satisfied. Our product and service contracts with milestone payments due at agreed progress points during the contract are invoiced when those milestones are reached, which may differ from the timing of revenue recognition. Our payment terms generally do not provide financing of contracts to customers, nor do we receive financing from customers as a result of these terms.

See Note 3—“Revenue” for more information on our revenue from contracts with customers.
Consolidation, Variable Interest Entity, Policy
Consolidated Variable Interest Entity. We hold a 45% interest in one variable interest entity (“VIE”) located in Angola. The remaining 55% noncontrolling interest is held by a service and logistics provider located in Angola. We are the primary beneficiary and wholly consolidate the VIE as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and have the obligation to absorb the VIE’s losses or the right to receive benefits at 100%.
policy implementation costs cloud based capitalized
Cloud-based Service Contract Costs. We capitalized certain implementation costs related to a service-only cloud computing arrangement. Capitalized costs are included on our consolidated balance sheets in other noncurrent assets and will be amortized to selling, general and administrative expense on a straight-line basis over the contract term. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, we capitalized $1.7 million of deferred software implementation costs related to cloud computing arrangements. We did not capitalize any cloud-based service contract costs in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024.
