Quarter ended March 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded impairment expense related to goodwill and long-lived assets.
The spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus (COVID-19) and the response thereto during the first quarter of 2020 negatively impacted the global economy. The resulting unprecedented decline in oil demand, coupled with disagreements between Saudi Arabia and Russia about production limits, resulted in a collapse of global oil prices in March 2020, thereby creating unprecedented downward pressure on stock prices in the energy industry, particularly small-cap companies with operations in the U.S. and Canada, such as Civeo. As a result, we experienced a sustained reduction of our share price during the first quarter of 2020. Our market capitalization implied an enterprise value which was significantly less than the sum of the estimated fair values of our reporting units, and we determined that an indicator of a goodwill impairment was present as of March 31, 2020. Accordingly, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2020, and the carrying amount of our Canadian reporting unit exceeded the reporting unit's fair value. Based on the results of the impairment test, we reduced the value of our goodwill in our Canadian reporting unit to zero and recognized impairment expense in the first quarter of 2020 of $93.6 million.
Furthermore, as a result of the decline in global oil prices and forecasts for a potentially protracted period of lower prices, as well as the goodwill impairment in our Canadian segment, we determined all asset groups within this segment had experienced a trigger that indicated that the carrying values might not be recoverable. Accordingly, we assessed the carrying value of each asset group to determine if it continued to be recoverable based on estimated future cash flows. Based on the assessment, the carrying values of certain asset groups were determined to not be fully recoverable, and we proceeded to compare the estimated fair value of these asset groups to their respective carrying values. As a result, certain asset groups were written down to their estimated fair values of $43.5 million and we recorded impairment expense of $38.1 million related to certain long-lived assets in our Canadian segment.
Also, as a result of the decline in global oil prices and forecasts for a potentially protracted period of lower prices, we reviewed all asset groups in our U.S. segment to determine if an indicator of impairment had occurred that would indicate that the carrying values of the asset groups in the segment might not be recoverable. We determined that certain asset groups within the segment had experienced an indicator of impairment, and thus we assessed the carrying values of our long-lived assets in
the U.S. to determine if they continued to be recoverable based on estimated future cash flows. Based on the assessment, the carrying values of certain of our U.S. asset groups were determined to not be recoverable, and we proceeded to compare the estimated fair values of the asset groups to their respective carrying values. Accordingly, these assets were written down to their estimated fair values of $12.5 million. We recorded impairment expense of $12.4 million during the first quarter of 2020 related to our U.S. segment.
Quarter ended June 30, 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, we identified indicators that certain long-lived assets in Australia may be impaired due to market developments, including the non-renewal of certain land development approval agreements. We assessed the carrying values of the related assets to determine if they continued to be recoverable based on estimated future cash flows. Based on the assessment, the carrying values were determined to not be fully recoverable, and we proceeded to compare the estimated fair value of the assets to their respective carrying values. Accordingly, the assets were written down to their estimated fair values of $0.5 million. As a result of the analysis described above, we recorded impairment expense of $4.5 million.

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2019, we identified a liability related to an asset retirement obligation (ARO) at one of our villages in Australia that should have been recorded in 2011. We determined that the error was not material to our previously issued financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and therefore, corrected the error in the second quarter of 2019. Specifically, we recorded the following amounts in the second quarter 2019 unaudited consolidated statement of operations related to prior periods: (i) additional accretion expense related to the ARO of $0.9 million, (ii) additional depreciation and amortization expense of $0.5 million related to amortization of the related asset retirement cost and (iii) additional impairment expense related to the impairment of the asset retirement cost of $1.0 million offset by recognition of an ARO liability totaling $2.3 million as of June 30, 2019.
