Contingencies [Abstract]
Contingencies	(19) Contingencies Due to the nature of our business, we are involved, from time to time, in various routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims or actions, including those commercial in nature, regarding our business activities in the ordinary course of business. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred. Management is of the opinion that none of the claims and actions will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. A subsidiary of ours is involved in legal proceedings with two former employees regarding the payment of royalties for a patentable product paid for by the subsidiary and developed while they worked for the subsidiary. On April 2, 2018, the former employees and their corporation filed a lawsuit (the “First Case) in the Harris County District Court (the “District Court”) alleging that the royalty payments they had invoiced at 25% and for which they received payments since 2010, should have been paid at a rate of 50%. In May 2019, the jury issued a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. On October 25, 2019, the court issued a final judgment against us, which we have fully secured with a bond. We strongly disagree with the verdict and believe the District Court committed several legal errors that should result in a reversal or remand of the case by the Court of Appeals. A second case (the “Second Case”) was filed in District Court against the same subsidiary of ours bringing the same claims and seeking damages post judgment from the First Case until discontinuation of the sale of the product at issue by the subsidiary. In December 2020, the Court entered a final judgement for the Plaintiffs’ and the Second Case was stayed for the duration of our bankruptcy. We have filed an appeal and a Motion to Abate the Second Case pending the appeal of the First Case. The Motion to Abate the Second Case was granted on October 26, 2021 by the Court of Appeals. As of September 30, 2021, we have reserved $7.0 million for the judgements in the First Case and Second Case. An Indian subsidiary of the Company had entered into a contract with an Indian oil and gas company to provide an off-shore vessel for various types of work. A dispute arose over the performability of the terms of the contract. The potential loss of this possible onerous contract is approximately $7.3 million. Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed certain proceedings and actions against the Predecessor. These cases have continued after the Emergence Date.
