Acquisitions [Abstract]

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]

We had no significant acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

In 2015, we acquired a business providing additional reservoir fluids technology which was accounted for by allocating the purchase price to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The acquisition of this entity did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations, and was recorded in the Reservoir Description business segment.
