4.  ACQUISITIONS

In 2018, we acquired a business providing downhole technologies associated with perforating systems for $48.9 million in cash. These downhole technologies will significantly enhance Core Lab's Production Enhancement operations and its ability to bring new and innovative product offerings to our clients. We have determined the fair value of tangible assets acquired to be $4.1 million, and intangible assets, including patents, customer-relationship benefits, non-compete agreements and technology to be $9.4 million. We have accounted for this acquisition by allocating the purchase price to the net assets acquired based on their fair value at the date of acquisition which resulted in an increase to goodwill of $35.4 million. The acquisition is included in the Production Enhancement business segment.

The acquisition of this business did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We had no significant acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2017.
