Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(13) Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 28.1% and 44.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for both periods was impacted by non-deductible items and foreign tax rates that differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0%. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was impacted by current year foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was unfavorably impacted by the identification of an error in the tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2022 pertaining to certain net operating loss carryforwards that should have been eliminated as part of a worthless stock deduction taken in the fourth quarter of 2022. As such, we recognized an additional income tax expense of $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 with a corresponding decrease to deferred tax assets to correct this immaterial misstatement. Management has determined that this misstatement was not material to any of its previously issued financial statements. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development reached agreement on Pillar Two Model Rules (“Pillar Two”) to implement a minimum 15.0% tax rate on certain multinational companies. Participating countries are in various stages of proposing and enacting tax laws to implement the Pillar Two framework. We determined these rules did not have a material impact on our taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and will continue to evaluate the impact of these proposals and legislative changes as new guidance emerges. We had approximately $77.6 million in gross US foreign tax credit deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance of $50.0 million against them as of December 31, 2023. We continue to evaluate the realizability of our U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards and may have additional valuation allowance releases in future periods if we achieve positive cumulative income results of appropriate character and timing that provide sufficient positive evidence to do so. We had unrecognized tax benefits of $4.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2023, all of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. It is reasonably possible that $1.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits could be settled in the next twelve-month period due to the conclusion of tax audits or due to the expiration of statute of limitations. It is our policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

Contingencies

(14) 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.

As previously reported in the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we are currently involved in legal proceedings with the Washington State Department of Revenue in relation to a dispute arising in April 2019 pertaining to a use tax assessment from 2016 as a result of the construction of a vessel by one of our subsidiaries. The matter was appealed to the Washington State Board of Tax Appeals, which affirmed the assessment on May 22, 2023. On June 20, 2023, we appealed this decision to Whatcom County Superior Court where it is currently pending review. In order to appeal the assessment to Whatcom County Superior Court, we paid the full $27.1 million assessment on May 31, 2023.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Debt

(7) Debt

In December 2023, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement providing for up to a $140.0 million asset based secured revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”), which includes a sub-facility for financial letters of credit in an amount up to $40.0 million. The issuance of letters of credit will reduce availability under the Credit Facility dollar-for-dollar.

As of March 31, 2024, our borrowing base, as defined in the Credit Agreement, was approximately $120.9 million, and we had $36.7 million in letters of credit outstanding which reduced the borrowing availability to $84.2 million. At March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and were in compliance with all required covenants.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Receivables [Abstract]

Note Receivable

(5) Note Receivable

Our note receivable consists of a commitment from the seller of our oil and gas property for costs associated with abandonment. Pursuant to an agreement with the seller, we will invoice the seller an agreed upon amount at the completion of certain decommissioning activities. The gross amount of the seller's obligation to us is $108.4 million and is recorded at its present value, which totaled $70.2 million as of March 31, 2024.

The discount on the note receivable is currently based on an effective interest rate of 7.2% and is amortized to interest income over the expected timing of the completion of the decommissioning activities, which are expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2030. Interest is paid in kind and is compounded into the carrying amount of the note.

Non-cash interest income related to the note receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively and is included in other reconciling items, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
