Acquisition of SwiftWater Energy Services

On February 28, 2018, pursuant to a purchase agreement dated February 13, 2018 (the "SwiftWater Purchase Agreement"), we purchased all of the equity interests in SwiftWater Energy Services, LLC ("SwiftWater"), which is engaged in the business of providing water management and water solutions to oil and gas operators in the Permian Basin market of Texas. Strategically, the acquisition of SwiftWater enhances our position as one of the leading integrated water management companies, providing water transfer, storage, and treatment services, along with proprietary automation technology and numerous other water-related services.

Under the terms of the SwiftWater Purchase Agreement, consideration of $42.0 million of cash, subject to a working capital adjustment, and 7,772,021 shares of our common stock (valued at $28.2 million) were paid at closing. Subsequent to closing, in August 2018, a working capital adjustment of approximately $1.0 million was paid. The sellers also had a right to receive contingent consideration payments, in an aggregate amount of up to $15.0 million, calculated on EBITDA and revenue (each as defined in the SwiftWater Purchase Agreement) of the combined water management business of SwiftWater and our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin in respect of the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. Contingent consideration in the amount of $10.0 million was paid to the sellers during 2019 based on 2018 performance. As of December 31, 2019, all contingent consideration has been paid.

Our allocation of the purchase price for the SwiftWater acquisition that closed on February 28, 2018, is as follows (in thousands):
Current assets
$
16,880

Property and equipment
11,631

Intangible assets
41,960

Goodwill
15,560

Total assets acquired
86,031

 
 
Current liabilities
7,189

Total liabilities assumed
7,189

Net assets acquired
$
78,842


The above allocation of the purchase price to the SwiftWater net tangible assets and liabilities considers approximately $7.6 million of the initial estimated fair value for the liabilities associated with the contingent purchase price consideration. The initial fair value of the obligation to pay the contingent purchase price consideration was calculated based on the anticipated EBITDA and revenue as of the closing date for the operations of SwiftWater and our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin.

The allocation of the purchase price to the SwiftWater net tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets is final and adjustments to the purchase price allocation have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018. Machinery and equipment is depreciated using useful lives of 3 to 15 years and automobiles and trucks are depreciated using useful lives of 3 to 4 years. The acquired intangible assets include $3.3 million for the trademark/tradename, $37.2 million for customer relationships, and $1.5 million of other intangible assets that are stated at estimated fair value and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 16 years.

Acquisition of JRGO Energy Services LLC

On December 6, 2018, we purchased JRGO Energy Services LLC (“JRGO”) for a cash purchase price of $7.6 million paid at closing, subject to a working capital adjustment. In addition, contingent consideration of $1.4 million was paid during 2019, based on JRGO's performance during the fourth quarter of 2018. JRGO specializes in delivering comprehensive water management services for oil and gas operators, as well as municipal, state and federal organizations. The acquisition of JRGO broadens our footprint in the Appalachian region and is expected to provide our customers an enhanced, more efficient, diverse, and strategically positioned portfolio of integrated water management services in the Marcellus and Utica basins.

Sale of Offshore Division

On March 1, 2018, we closed a series of related transactions that resulted in the disposition of our Offshore Division. Pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement") with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco"), Orinoco purchased certain remaining offshore oil, gas and mineral leases and related assets of Maritech (the "Maritech Properties"). Immediately thereafter, we closed the transactions contemplated by a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement") with Orinoco, whereby Orinoco purchased all of the equity interests of Maritech (the "Maritech Equity Interests"). Immediately thereafter, we closed the transactions contemplated by an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Offshore Services Purchase Agreement") with Epic Offshore Specialty, LLC, an affiliate of Orinoco ("Epic Offshore"), whereby Epic Offshore (the "Offshore Services Sale") purchased all of the equity interests in the wholly owned subsidiaries that comprised our Offshore Services segment operations (the "Offshore Services Equity Interests").
 
Under the terms of the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement, the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement, and the Offshore Services Purchase Agreement, the consideration delivered by Orinoco and Epic Offshore for the Maritech Properties, the Maritech Equity Interests and the Offshore Services Equity Interests consisted of (i) the assumption by Orinoco of substantially all of the liabilities and obligations relating to the ownership, operation and condition of the Maritech Properties and the provision of certain indemnities by Orinoco to us under the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement, (ii) the assumption by Orinoco of substantially all of the liabilities of Maritech and the provision of certain indemnities by Orinoco under the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement, (iii) the assumption by Epic Offshore of substantially all of the liabilities of the Offshore Services Equity Interests relating to the periods following the closing of the Offshore Services Sale and the provision of certain indemnities by Epic Offshore under the Offshore Services Purchase Agreement, (iv) cash in the amount $3.1 million (v) a promissory note in the original principal amount of $7.5 million payable by Epic Offshore to us in full, together with interest at a rate of 1.52% per annum, on December 31, 2019, (vi) performance by Orinoco under a Bonding Agreement executed in connection with the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement and the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement whereby Orinoco provided at closing non-revocable performance bonds in an amount equal to $46.8 million to cover the performance by Orinoco and Maritech of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech, and (vii) the delivery of a personal guaranty agreement from Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke guaranteeing the payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement (collectively, the "Transaction Consideration"). See Note 12 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion of the promissory note and the Bonding Agreement.

As a result of these transactions, we have effectively exited the businesses of our Offshore Services and Maritech segments, and these operations are reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 11 - "Discontinued Operations" for further discussion.
