Acquisitions [Abstract]

Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block]

In the second quarter of 2015, we acquired a business providing additional reservoir fluids technology for $17.2 million in cash. We accounted for this acquisition by allocating the purchase price to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, resulting in an increase to goodwill of $13.7 million and an increase of $2.0 million in intangible assets. The acquisition of this entity did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statements of Operations, and was recorded in the Reservoir Description business segment.
