Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring, Impairment and Other RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER
In the first quarter of 2020, in response to the impact on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant decline in oil and gas prices, we approved a plan of $1.8 billion (the 2020 Plan) primarily associated with rationalizing certain product lines and restructuring our business, which is designed to, among other things, right-size our operations for anticipated activity levels and market conditions. During the remainder of the year, we incurred additional charges not originally contemplated by the 2020 Plan, primarily in our OFS segment to address the challenging market conditions in the upstream oil and gas market. We recorded restructuring, impairment and other charges totaling $1,866 million, and inventory impairments of $246 million in 2020. See "Note 4. Inventories" for further discussion. Substantially all of the activities and charges associated with the original 2020 Plan were completed by December 31, 2020. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded restructuring, impairment and other charges of $342 million, and $433 million, respectively.
These charges are included in the "Restructuring, impairment and other" caption in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Details of all these charges are discussed below.
RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
In the current and prior periods, we approved various restructuring plans globally, mainly to consolidate manufacturing and service facilities, rationalize product lines and rooftops, and reduce headcount across various functions. As a result, we recognized a charge of $903 million, $314 million and $304 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The following table presents the restructuring and impairment charges by the impacted segment, however, these charges are not included in the reported segment results.

Restructuring and impairment charges were primarily related to employee termination expenses from reducing our headcount in certain geographical locations, and product line rationalization, including plant closures and related expenses such as property, plant and equipment impairments, and other incremental costs that were a direct result of the restructuring plans.
