Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	CONTINGENCIES The Company records an accrual for contingent liabilities when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. If some amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued. When no amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the lowest amount in the range is accrued. As of June 30, 2015 and through the date of this filing we had no known pending or threatened litigation that we expect would have a material impact on our financial statements. In June 2015, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) sent us a Notice of Action that proposed to classify certain of our imports as subject to anti-dumping duties pursuant to a 2010 anti-dumping duty (“AD”) order on Oil Country Tubular Goods (“OCTG”) from China. A companion countervailing duty (“CVD”) order on the same product is in effect as well. The Notice of Action covered one entry of certain raw material steel mechanical tubing made in China and imported into the U.S. from Canada by our DynaEnergetics segment during 2015 for use in manufacturing perforating guns. In July 2015, we sent a response to U.S. Customs outlining the reasons our mechanical tubing imports do not fall within the scope of the AD order on OCTG from China and should not be subject to anti-dumping duties. Since then U.S. Customs has proposed to take similar action with respect to other recent entries of this product and has requested an approximately $1,100 cash deposit or bond for AD/CVD duties. The estimated AD/CVD duties cash deposit or bond would be held by U.S. Customs until future administrative proceedings determine whether actual, final AD/CVD duties should be assessed. We continue to believe these imports are not subject to the proposed duties and are defending these actions. In the interim, we will make AD/CVD cash deposits or post a bond of approximately $1,100 to U.S. Customs in the third quarter of 2015, pending the outcome of this matter. As of June 30, 2015 and through the date of this filing, we have not recorded a liability related to this matter as a loss is neither probable nor estimable.
