Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segment Information
Business Segment Information
 
We have three reportable business segments: Well Intervention, Robotics and Production Facilities. Our U.S., U.K. and Brazil well intervention operating segments are aggregated into the Well Intervention business segment for financial reporting purposes. Our Well Intervention segment includes our vessels and equipment used to perform well intervention services primarily in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, North Sea and Brazil. Our Well Intervention segment also includes IRSs, some of which we rent out on a stand-alone basis, and SILs. Our well intervention vessels include the Q4000, the Q5000, the Seawell, the Well Enhancer, and the chartered Siem Helix 1 and Siem Helix 2 vessels. The Siem Helix 1 commenced well intervention operations for Petrobras offshore Brazil in April 2017 and the Siem Helix 2 commenced operations for Petrobras in December 2017. We returned the Skandi Constructor to its owner in March 2017 upon the expiration of the vessel charter. We previously owned the Helix 534, which we sold in December 2016 (Note 4). Our Robotics segment includes ROVs, trenchers and ROVDrills designed to complement offshore construction and well intervention services, and currently operates three ROV support vessels under long-term charter, including the Grand Canyon III that went into service for us in May 2017. Our vessel charter for the Deep Cygnus was terminated on February 9, 2018, at which time we returned the vessel to its owner. Our Production Facilities segment includes the HP I, the HFRS and our investment in Independence Hub that is accounted for under the equity method, and previously included our former ownership interest in Deepwater Gateway that we sold in February 2016 (Note 5). All material intercompany transactions between the segments have been eliminated.
 
We evaluate our performance based on operating income and income before income taxes of each reportable segment. Certain financial data by reportable segment are summarized as follows (in thousands):
