Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

We operate our business through three segments: Fluids Systems, Industrial Solutions, and Industrial Blending. In the second quarter of 2022, we began reporting our business through these three reportable segments. Prior to this change, we aggregated our now exited Industrial Blending business and reported it within Industrial Solutions. We have reflected this change in all periods presented.

•Our Fluids Systems segment provides customized drilling, completion, and stimulation fluids products and related technical services to oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) customers primarily in North America and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), as well as certain countries in Asia Pacific and Latin America. We also have industrial mineral grinding operations for barite, a critical raw material in drilling fluids systems, which serve to support our activities in certain regions within the U.S. drilling fluids market and also sell the products to third party users, including other drilling fluids companies. In addition, we sell a variety of other minerals, principally to third-party industrial (non-oil and natural gas) markets. In February 2022, our Board of Directors approved a plan to explore strategic options for our U.S. mineral grinding business. See Note 11 for further information.

•Our Industrial Solutions segment provides temporary worksite access, including the rental of our recyclable composite matting systems, along with related site construction and services to customers in various markets including power transmission, E&P, pipeline, renewable energy, petrochemical, construction and other industries, primarily in the United States and Europe. We also manufacture and sell our recyclable composite mats to customers around the world, with power transmission being the primary end-market.

•Our Industrial Blending segment (previously reported within the Industrial Solutions segment) began operations in 2020 and supported industrial end-markets, including the production of disinfectants and industrial cleaning products. In February 2022, our Board of Directors approved a plan to exit our Industrial Blending operations. See Note 11 for further information. As part of the exit plan, we completed the wind down of the Industrial Blending business in the first quarter of 2022 and are currently pursuing the sale of the industrial blending and warehouse facility and related equipment located in Conroe, Texas. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, the assets and operating results associated with our Industrial Blending operations have been reported as a separate segment for all periods presented.
