Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	19.Fair Value Measurements Recurring fair value measurements Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (an exit price) at the measurement date. Fair value is a market based measurement considered from the perspective of a market participant. The Company uses market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or unobservable. If observable prices or inputs are not available, unobservable prices or inputs are used to estimate the current fair value, often using an internal valuation model. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the item being valued. The Company primarily applies a market approach for recurring fair value measurements using the best available information while utilizing valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company also follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. As it relates to Basic, ASC Topic 820 applies to certain non-financial assets and liabilities as may be acquired in a business combination and thereby measured at fair value; measurements of the fair value of goodwill and measurements of property impairments. There is a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 — Inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable. These inputs are either directly observable in the marketplace or indirectly observable through corroboration with market data for substantially the full contractual term of the asset or liability being measured. Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. In valuing certain assets and liabilities, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety in the fair value hierarchy level based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Basic did not have any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2015 and 2014 Non-recurring fair value measurements The Company performed an assessment of goodwill as of September 30, 2015. For step one of the impairment testing, the Company tested its reporting units for goodwill impairment. The Company’s well servicing, fluid services and contract drilling reporting units do not carry any goodwill, and were not subject to the test. To estimate the fair value of the reporting units, we primarily used level 1 and level 3 inputs from the fair value hierarchy, which included a weighting of the discounted cash flow method and the public company guideline method (level 3 inputs) of determining fair value of a business unit. In order to validate the reasonableness of the estimated fair values obtained for the reporting units, a reconciliation of fair value to the value of invested capital debt and equity (level 1 inputs) was performed for each unit on a stand-alone basis. A control premium, derived from market transaction data, was used in this reconciliation to ensure that fair values were reasonably stated in conjunction with our capitalization. The measurement date for our common stock price and market capitalization was the closing price on September 30, 2015. Based on the results of step one of the impairment test, impairment was indicated in the completion and remedial reporting unit. As such, the Company was required to perform step two assessment on the potentially impaired reporting unit. Step two requires the allocation of the estimated fair value to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the respective reporting unit. This assessment indicated that goodwill of $81.9 million was considered impaired as of September 30, 2015. This non-cash charge eliminated all of the Company’s existing goodwill as of September 30, 2015.
