Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Nature of Business Frank’s International N.V. (“FINV”, “Frank's” or the “Company”, as the context requires), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Netherlands, is a global provider of highly engineered tubular services, tubular fabrication and specialty well construction and well intervention solutions to the oil and gas industry. FINV provides services and products to leading exploration and production companies in both offshore and onshore environments with a focus on complex and technically demanding wells. The impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related economic, business and market disruptions is evolving rapidly, and its future effects are uncertain. The actual impact of these recent developments on our business will depend on many factors, many of which are beyond management's control and knowledge. It is therefore difficult for management to assess or predict with accuracy the broad future effects of this health crisis on the global economy, the energy industry or the Company. As additional information becomes available, events or circumstances change and strategic operational decisions are made by management, further adjustments may be required which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Pending Merger with Expro Group Holdings International Limited On March 10, 2021, FINV and New Eagle Holdings Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of FINV (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Expro Group Holdings International Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Expro”), pursuant to which Expro will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of FINV (the “Merger”). If the Merger is completed, each ordinary share of Expro common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Expro Ordinary Shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Frank’s common stock equal to 7.2720 (subject to certain adjustments under the Merger Agreement, the “Exchange Ratio”). Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (collectively, the “Transactions”), FINV expects that its current shareholders will own approximately 35% of the Company after completion of the Merger and related transactions (such entity, the “Combined Company”), and current Expro shareholders will own approximately 65% of the Combined Company. Following the Merger, the name of FINV will be changed to “Expro Group Holdings N.V.” The closing of the Transactions, which is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2021, is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions, including, among others, the requisite approval of the shareholders of each of FINV and Expro pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for each of FINV and Expro, including, among others, a termination right for each party if the consummation of the Merger does not occur on or before 5:00 p.m. Houston, Texas time on October 31, 2021 (the “End Date”), subject to certain exceptions; provided, that if as of the End Date, all of the conditions precedent to closing of the Transactions under the Merger Agreement, other than certain specified conditions, have been satisfied, the End Date will automatically be extended to January 31, 2022. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including, generally, the termination by Expro in the event of FINV's entry into an agreement with respect to an alternative acquisition proposal, or a change of recommendation by the FINV board of supervisory directors and the board of managing directors of FINV (collectively, the “Board”) in each case, prior to the time the FINV shareholder approval is obtained, FINV would be required to pay Expro a termination fee of $37.5 million. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including, generally, the termination by FINV in the event of Expro’s entry into an agreement with respect to an alternative acquisition proposal, or a change of recommendation by Expro’s board of directors (the “Expro Board”), in each case, prior to the time the Expro shareholder approval is obtained, Expro would be required to pay FINV a termination fee of $71.5 million. In connection with the Merger Agreement, FINV, Frank’s International C.V. (“FICV”) and Mosing Holdings, LLC (“Mosing Holdings”) entered into an Amended and Restated Tax Receivable Agreement (the “A&R TRA”). Pursuant to the A&R TRA, FINV, FICV and Mosing Holdings have agreed, among other things to settle the early termination payment obligation that would otherwise be owed to Mosing Holdings under the TRA as a result of the Merger by the payment by FINV to Mosing Holdings of (i) $15 million cash at the closing of the Transactions and (ii) certain other contingent payments in the future in the event the Combined Company realizes cash tax savings from tax attributes covered under the TRA during the ten year period following the Closing Date in excess of $18,057,000, as more fully described in the A&R TRA. The terms of the A&R TRA are conditioned upon and subject to the closing of the Transactions and the payment to Mosing Holdings of the $15 million cash payment at the closing of the Transactions. If such conditions do not occur, the A&R TRA will be terminated and will be null and void and the TRA will remain in effect in accordance with its terms. Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements of FINV for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 include the activities of FINV, FICV, Blackhawk Group Holdings, LLC (“Blackhawk”) and their wholly owned subsidiaries (either individually or together, as context requires, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated for purposes of preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 is derived from audited financial statements. However, certain information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2021 (“Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and GAAP for interim financial reporting, reflect all adjustments, which consisted only of normal recurring adjustments that were necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those for a full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis using the United States dollar as the reporting currency. Our functional currency is primarily the United States dollar. Reclassifications Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our operating income (loss), net income (loss), working capital, cash flows or total equity previously reported. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) generally in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all accounting pronouncements. ASUs not listed below were assessed and were either determined to be not applicable or are expected to have immaterial impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In June 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for credit losses on financial instruments. The guidance includes the replacement of the “incurred loss” approach for recognizing credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables, with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses, which considers historical and current information as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The new credit loss standard is expected to accelerate recognition of credit losses on our accounts receivable. See Note 3—Accounts Receivable, net for additional information regarding allowance for credit losses on our accounts receivable.
