Segment Reporting

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2019

Historically, our three reporting segments have been: (i) crude oil marketing, transportation and storage, (ii) tank truck transportation of liquid chemicals and dry bulk, and (iii) upstream crude oil and natural gas exploration and production. Our upstream crude oil and natural gas exploration and production wholly owned subsidiary filed for bankruptcy in April 2017 (see Note 4 for further information), and as a result of our loss of control of the wholly owned subsidiary, AREC was deconsolidated and was accounted for under the cost method of accounting. AREC remained a reportable segment until its deconsolidation, effective April 30, 2017.

Financial information by reporting segment was as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):
