As a result of the continued deterioration of the market fundamentals in the oil and gas industry, the Company assessed the carrying value of goodwill related to its investment in Diamond Offshore. An impairment charge of $20 million was recorded in Other operating expenses in the third quarter of 2015 to write-off all goodwill attributable to Diamond Offshore.
