Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this report. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“our Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
Consolidation	Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries where we have control over operating and financial policies. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including the separate presentation and reporting of discontinued operations. Such reclassifications did not have any effect on our financial condition or results of operations as previously reported.
Discontinued operations	Discontinued operations. On November 1, 2022, we completed the sale of Quest Integrity (the “Quest Integrity Transaction”). The criteria for reporting Quest Integrity as a discontinued operation were met during the third quarter of 2022 pursuant to that certain Equity Purchase Agreement by and between us and Baker Hughes Holdings LLC, dated as of August 14, 2022 (the “Sale Agreement”), and, as such, the prior year amounts related to Quest Integrity are presented as a discontinued operation. Unless otherwise specified, the financial information and discussion in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on our continuing operations (IHT and MS segments) and exclude any results of our discontinued operations (Quest Integrity). Refer to Note 2 - Discontinued Operations for additional details.
