Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Recent Events | 1. Organization and Recent Events Vantage Drilling International, a Cayman Islands exempted company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), is an international offshore drilling company focused on operating a fleet of modern, high specification drilling units. Our principal business is to contract drilling units, related equipment and work crews, primarily on a dayrate basis to drill oil and gas wells for our customers. Through our fleet of drilling units, we are a provider of offshore contract drilling services to major, national and independent oil and gas companies, focused on international markets. Additionally, for drilling units owned by others, we provide construction supervision services for rigs that are under construction, preservation management services for rigs that are stacked and operations and marketing services for operating rigs. The Continued Global Spread of COVID-19 On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency as COVID-19 continued to spread globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in exposure globally and the risks posed to the international community. The continued global spread of COVID-19 has caused widespread illness and significant loss of life, leading governments across the world to impose severely stringent limitations on movement and human interaction. Such governmental responses to the pandemic have depressed economic activity worldwide, impacting all industries, but with a significant adverse effect on the oil and gas industry. The response of governments throughout the world to address the spread of COVID-19, including, among other actions, the imposition of travel bans, quarantines and entry restrictions, has notably impacted our operations, particularly challenging the ability to transport personnel and equipment to and from our rigs, and for our customers and their suppliers to be able to seamlessly manage and conduct their respective operations. As a result of these challenges: (a) one of our customers invoked the “force majeure” clause under its drilling contract with us and subsequently terminated the drilling contract in accordance with its terms, and there is the potential for others to similarly exercise “force majeure” clauses under their respective drilling contracts; (b) two other customers terminated their drilling contracts prior to the end of their respective terms (both contracts were to expire in the normal course in the second quarter of 2020); (c) in December 2020, a customer terminated its drilling contract prior to the commencement of operations; (d) we reached an agreement in April 2020 to place one rig on a stand-by rate for the majority of the second quarter of 2020 (such “force majeure” or stand-by rates received by the Company are generally less than the original day rates otherwise payable to the Company); however, this rig returned to operations in July 2020; (e) we reached agreements with two other customers to delay the start dates of their new drilling programs and we remain in ongoing discussions with another customer regarding our operations and their existing drilling contract and program; (f) we experienced, and could continue to experience further, delays in the collection of certain accounts receivables due to logistical obstacles, such as office closures resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as other impacts to our long-term liquidity; and (g) we incurred additional labor costs and could continue to incur additional labor costs in the future as a result of our efforts to keep our personnel safe, quarantine requirements, closures and movement restrictions in certain jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as the home countries in which certain of our offshore personnel are located, which in many cases have impeded, and could continue to impede for the foreseeable future, the regular transportation of crews to their home countries and result in the payment of compensation to stranded crews working longer than their routine rotation schedule (in addition to the use of charter flights in the absence of commercial flights). The impact of these challenges in 2020 resulted in (i) lower revenue due to terminations of (or amendments to) certain of our drilling contracts and (ii) increased expenses due to higher labor and related costs. We cannot at this time determine with certainty how long these challenges will persist as well as the long-term impact that such challenges may have on our operations on a go-forward basis; however, the Company has been actively managing and continues to actively manage the business in an attempt to mitigate the impact of the foregoing matters. In order to decrease the Company’s overall operating expenses, the Company undertook significant headcount and salary reductions, both onshore and offshore, as well as other cost reduction measures to reflect the lower operating activity. Declines in the Demand for Oil and Gas, and the Resulting Oil Price and Market Share Volatility The collapse in global economic activity resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 caused demand for global oil and gas to significantly decline. Moreover, members of OPEC and Russia failed to reach an agreement in March 2020 to extend previously agreed upon oil production cuts and make much needed additional oil production cuts. Thereafter, Saudi Arabia announced an immediate significant reduction in its oil export prices and Russia announced that all agreed oil production cuts between Russia and OPEC members would expire on April 1, 2020. The termination of the previous cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Russia had an immediate impact given that it had supported global oil prices in the past. Saudi Arabia’s subsequent decision to dramatically increase its oil production and engage in a price war with Russia led to a massive oversupply of oil, which resulted in the overwhelming of global oil storage capacities. This price and market share war was later reversed with OPEC, Russia and many of the world’s major oil producers reaching a record production cut agreement on April 12, 2020 and extending such agreement on June 6, 2020. However, the confluence of the spread of COVID-19 and the resulting global oil surplus significantly and adversely impacted the oil and gas industry beginning in the second quarter of 2020, causing (i) an unprecedented drop in oil prices, with Brent crude reaching $19.33 per barrel, its lowest price since 1999, and (ii) ensuing reductions of exploration and production company capital and operating budgets. Though OPEC, Russia and other major oil and gas producing nations agreed to either cut or maintain levels of oil production as was the case in March 2021, the efforts to contain COVID-19 could continue to depress global economic activity in the near-term, and the supply and demand imbalance of oil and gas will likely continue for the foreseeable future. Notwithstanding the recent recovery in global oil prices since (i) the development and availability of vaccines for COVID-19, (ii) the perception of the reopening of global economies along with (iii) the injection of substantial government monetary and fiscal stimulus, volatility of and uncertainty around global oil prices persist. It was this volatility and uncertainty in global oil and gas prices that caused oil and gas producers to cancel or delay drilling tenders in 2020, which negatively impacted our reported backlog and could potentially and negatively impact our future backlog. Further, material payment delays, modifications or cancellations on our underlying contracts (including, but not limited to, delays, modifications or cancellations directly or indirectly attributable to COVID-19) reduced the amount of backlog previously reported (and could further reduce the amount of backlog currently reported) and consequently, could inhibit the conversion of that backlog into revenues. The potential for oil prices to decline in the future continues to put pressure on oil and gas activity levels, particularly in the deepwater segment. Oil and gas prices are expected to continue to be volatile as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks, changes in oil and gas inventories and industry demand, and therefore, the Company cannot predict how long oil and gas prices will remain stable or further improve, if at all, or whether they could reverse course and decline. While our management is actively monitoring the foregoing events and its associated financial impact, it is uncertain at this time as to the full magnitude that volatile and uncertain oil and gas prices will have on our financial condition and future results of operations. Platinum Explorer Contract Award On February 3, 2021, VDI received a letter of award from Oil and Natural Gas Company (ONGC) for a two-year contract with the Platinum Explorer Platinum Explorer Operations and Management Agreement with Seadrill Partners On February 9, 2021, Vantage Holdings International (“VHI”), a subsidiary of VDI, entered into a Framework Agreement with Seadrill Partners LLC (“Seadrill Partners”) pursuant to which certain subsidiaries of VHI (the “VHI Entities”) entered into, and will enter into additional, management and marketing agreements (the “Management and Marketing Agreements”) with certain subsidiaries of Seadrill Partners (the “Seadrill Entities”). Under the Management and Marketing Agreements, the VHI Entities will provide marketing and operations management services in respect of certain deepwater floaters owned by the Seadrill Entities. These Management and Marketing Agreements are subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. Drilling Contract Arbitration. On February 22, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the Petrobras Parties’ petition for certiorari in their efforts to seek the reversal of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit’s decision to affirm the U.S. District Court – Texas’s judgment confirming the Petrobras Award. This denial by the U.S. Supreme Court ended the drilling contract arbitration with the Petrobras Parties and all related appeals. See “ Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies ” of these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional details on the Drilling Contract Arbitration. Purchase and Sale Agreement to Sell the Titanium Explorer On December 31, 2020, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Best Oasis Limited (the “Buyer”) to sell the Titanium Explorer Impairment of the Titanium Explorer’s Carrying Value During the third quarter of 2020, we evaluated our deepwater drilling rigs that had indicators of impairment and determined that the carrying value of our longer-term warm stacked drillship, the Titanium Explorer, Note 2.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and include our accounts and those of our majority owned subsidiaries and VIEs discussed below. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. In addition to the consolidation of our majority owned subsidiaries, we also consolidate VIEs when we are determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between us and the VIE. ADVantage is a joint venture company formed to operate deepwater drilling rigs in Egypt. We determined that ADVantage met the criteria of a VIE for accounting purposes because its equity at risk was insufficient to permit it to carry on its activities without additional subordinated financial support from us. We also determined that we are the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes since we are entitled to use ADVantage for deepwater drilling contract opportunities rejected by ADES, and have the (a) power to direct the operating activities associated with the deepwater drilling rigs, which are the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (b) obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive a majority of the benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. As a result, we consolidate ADVantage in our consolidated financial statements, we eliminate intercompany transactions and we present the interests that are not owned by us as “Noncontrolling interests” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The carrying amount associated with ADVantage was as follows: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (unaudited, in thousands) Current assets $ 7,072 $ 14,589 Non-current assets 84 3,643 Current liabilities 3,979 11,560 Non-current liabilities 741 4,159 Net carrying amount $ 2,436 $ 2,513 As ADVantage is a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, it serves as a guarantor under the First Lien Indenture relating to the 9.25% First Lien Notes. The 9.25% First Lien Notes are secured by a first priority lien on all of the assets of ADVantage, subject to certain exceptions. Creditors’ recourse against ADVantage for liabilities of ADVantage is limited to the assets of ADVantage. See “ Note 1. Organization and Recent Events ” “ Note 10. Supplemental Financial Information ” Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to property and equipment, income taxes, insurance, employee benefits and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Includes deposits with financial institutions as well as short-term money market instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Materials and Supplies: Consists of materials, spare parts, consumables and related supplies for our drilling rigs. We record these materials and supplies at their average cost. Property and Equipment: Consists of our drilling rigs, furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and capitalized costs for computer software. Drilling rigs are depreciated on a component basis over estimated useful lives ranging from five to 35 years on a straight-line basis as of the date placed in service. Other assets are depreciated upon placement in service over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years on a straight-line basis. When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is included in “Operating costs” or “General and administrative” expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, depending on the nature of the asset. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recognized a net loss of approximately $0.1 million, a net loss of approximately $0.2 million and a net gain of approximately $1.3 million, respectively, related to the sale or retirement of assets. We evaluate the realization of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss on our property and equipment exists when estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized would be computed as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over the estimated fair value. Estimates of future cash flows require us to make long-term forecasts of our future revenues and operating costs with regard to the assets subject to review. Our business, including the utilization rates and dayrates we receive for our drilling rigs, depends on the level of our customers’ expenditures for oil and gas exploration, development and production expenditures. Oil and gas prices and customers’ expectations of potential changes in these prices, the general outlook for worldwide economic growth, political and social stability in the major oil and gas producing basins of the world, availability of credit and changes in governmental laws and regulations, among many other factors, significantly affect our customers’ levels of expenditures. Sustained declines in or persistent depressed levels of oil and gas prices, worldwide rig counts and utilization, reduced access to credit markets, reduced or depressed sale prices of comparably equipped jackups and drillships and any other significant adverse economic news could require us to evaluate the realization of our drilling rigs. In connection with our adoption of fresh-start accounting upon our emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, an adjustment of $2.0 billion was recorded to decrease the net book value of our drilling rigs to the then estimated fair value. As a result of the continued spread of COVID-19 and oil price and market share volatility, we tested for impairment based on impairment indicators identified in the first quarter of 2020. The recoverability test performed resulted in no impairment loss being recorded as the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated from our drilling rigs exceeded their carrying values as of March 31, 2020. The projections and assumptions used in that analysis did not change significantly during the three months ended June 30, 2020; accordingly, no triggering event had occurred to indicate that the carrying value of our drilling rigs would not be recoverable at that time. During the third quarter of 2020, we identified indicators that the carrying amounts of our deepwater asset groups may not be recoverable. Such indicators included the continued impact of COVID-19 on global economic activity and the resulting reductions and delays in deepwater oil and gas exploration and development plans on the part of operators leading to increased barriers for the reactivation of stacked rigs. As a result of our impairment testing, we determined that the carrying amount of our longer-term warm stacked drillship, the Titanium Explorer Titanium Explor Platinum Explorer Tungsten Explorer Interest costs and the amortization of debt financing costs related to the financings of our drilling rigs are capitalized as part of the cost while they are under construction and prior to the commencement of each vessel’s first contract. We did not capitalize any interest for the reported periods. Intangible Assets: In April 2017, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement with a third party, we completed the purchase of the , a class 154-44C jackup rig, and a related multi-year drilling contract for $13.0 million. In connection with our acquisition we recorded an identifiable intangible asset of $12.6 million for the fair value of the acquired favorable drilling contract. The resulting intangible asset was amortized on a straight-line basis over the two-year term of the drilling contract, which ended April 2019. We recognized approximately $1.6 million and $6.3 million of amortization expense for intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Debt Financing Costs: Costs incurred with debt financings are deferred and amortized over the term of the related financing facility on a straight-line basis which approximates the interest method. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. Rig and Equipment Certifications: We are required to obtain regulatory certifications to operate our drilling rigs and certain specified equipment and must maintain such certifications through periodic inspections and surveys. The costs associated with these certifications, including drydock costs, are deferred and amortized over the corresponding certification periods Revenue Recognition : See “ Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers ” of these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information. Income Taxes: Income taxes are provided for based upon the tax laws and rates in effect in the countries in which our operations are conducted and income is earned. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or tax deductible amounts and are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. We do not establish deferred tax liabilities for certain of our foreign earnings that we intend to indefinitely reinvest to finance foreign activities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. We maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We monitor the credit ratings and our concentration of risk with these financial institutions on a continuing basis to safeguard our cash deposits. We have a limited number of key customers, who are primarily large international oil and gas operators, national oil companies and other international oil and gas companies. Our contracts provide for monthly billings as services are performed and we monitor compliance with contract payment terms on an ongoing basis. Payment terms on customer invoices typically range from 30 to 45 days. Outstanding receivables beyond payment terms are promptly investigated and discussed with the specific customer. Credit Losses – Accounts Receivable: The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. Current estimates of expected credit losses consider factors such as the historical experience and credit quality of our customers. The Company considers historical loss information as the most reasonable basis on which to determine expected credit losses unless current or forecasted future conditions for customers or customer groups indicate that risk characteristics have changed. We considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated oil price and market share volatility (see and each of which are set forth above in “ Note 1. Organization and Recent Events ” of these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”) on our current estimate of credit losses as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts on our trade receivables was $5.0 million. This amount represents our customer’s decision not to pay us for days impacted by what we believe are force majeure and other events for which we would be entitled to receive payment under our contract. We disagree with their decision and are evaluating remedies, if any, under the contract. As of December 31, 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts on our trade receivables was immaterial. Earnings (loss) per Share: We compute basic and diluted EPS in accordance with the two-class method. We include restricted stock units granted to employees that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends as such grants are considered participating securities. Basic earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted EPS are computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares and ordinary share equivalents outstanding in the applicable period, as if all potentially dilutive securities were converted into Ordinary Shares (using the treasury stock method). The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted EPS computations: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 (In thousands) Weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding for basic EPS 13,115 5,677 5,000 Restricted share equity awards — — — Adjusted weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding for diluted EPS 13,115 5,677 5,000 The following sets forth the number of shares excluded from diluted EPS computations: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 (In thousands) Convertible Notes — — 7,995 Restricted share equity awards 200 34 39 Future potentially dilutive Ordinary Shares excluded from diluted EPS 200 34 8,034 Functional Currency: We consider USD to be the functional currency for all of our operations since the majority of our revenues and expenditures are denominated in USD, which limits our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations. We recognize currency exchange rate gains and losses in “Other, net” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recognized a net gain of $0.4 million, a net gain of $0.2 million and a net loss of $1.5 million, respectively, related to currency exchange rates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair value of our short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet principally due to the short-term nature or floating rate nature of these instruments. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of the 9.25% First Lien Notes was approximately $197.9 million based on quoted market prices in a less active market, a Level 2 measurement. Share-based Compensation: TBGs granted under the 2016 Amended MIP vest annually, ratably over four years; however, accelerated vesting is provided for in the event of a QLE. Otherwise, the settlement of any vested TBGs occurs upon the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date. Both the TBGs and PBGs were classified as liabilities consistent with the classification of the underlying securities prior to the Conversion. Following the Conversion, outstanding TBGs and PBGs were subject to modification accounting and were re-classified as equity awards. Under the provisions of ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation Noncontrolling Interest: Noncontrolling interests represent the equity investments of the minority owner in ADVantage, a joint venture with ADES that we consolidate in our financial statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.” This ASU, and the related ASUs issued subsequently by the FASB, introduce a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial assets not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases and available-for-sale debt securities. The new ASU broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing estimates of expected credit losses and requires an entity to estimate credit losses over the life of an exposure based on historical information, current information and reasonable, supportable forecasts. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as our customers are primarily international oil companies, national oil companies and large independent oil companies that have historically had a very low incidence of bad debt expense. The Company has monitored, and will continue to actively monitor, the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on expected credit losses. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software." Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” |

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers The activities that primarily drive the revenue earned in our drilling contracts with customers include (i) providing our drilling rig, work crews, related equipment and services necessary to operate the rig, (ii) delivering the drilling rig by mobilizing to and demobilizing from the drill site, and (iii) performing pre-operating activities, including rig preparation activities and/or equipment modifications required for the contract. The integrated drilling services that we perform under each drilling contract represent a single performance obligation satisfied over time and comprised of a series of distinct time increments, or service periods. Dayrate Drilling Revenue. Our drilling contracts generally provide for payment on a dayrate basis, with higher rates for periods when the drilling unit is operating and lower rates or zero rates for periods when drilling operations are interrupted or restricted. The dayrate billed to the customer is determined based on varying rates applicable to the specific activities performed on an hourly basis. Such dayrate consideration is allocated to the distinct hourly increment it relates to within the contract term and therefore, recognized as we perform the daily drilling services. Amortizable Revenue. In connection with certain contracts, we receive lump-sum fees or similar compensation for (i) the mobilization of equipment and personnel prior to the commencement of drilling services, (ii) the demobilization of equipment and personnel upon contract completion or (iii) postponement fees in consideration for the postponement of a contract until a later date. These activities are not considered to be distinct within the context of the contract and therefore, the associated revenue is allocated to the overall single performance obligation. Mobilization fees received prior to commencement of drilling operations are recorded as a contract liability and amortized on a straight ‑ Capital Upgrade/Contract Preparation Revenue. In connection with certain contracts, we receive lump-sum fees or similar compensation for requested capital upgrades to our drilling rigs or for other contract preparation work. These activities are not considered to be distinct within the context of the contract and therefore, fees received are recorded as a contract liability and amortized to contract drilling revenues on a straight-line basis over the initial contract term. Contract Termination Revenue. On June 20, 2019, VDEEP and VDDI entered into the Petrobras Agreement with the Petrobras Parties relating to the Petrobras Award. See “ Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies ” of these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the Petrobras Agreement and the Petrobras Award. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized approximately $594.0 million in “Contract termination revenue” and $106.9 million in “Interest income” associated with the Petrobras Payments (as defined in “ Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies ” of these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” ) . Revenues Related to Reimbursable Expenses. We generally receive reimbursements from our customers for the purchase of supplies, equipment, personnel services and other services provided at their request in accordance with a drilling contract or other agreement. We are generally considered a principal in such transactions and therefore, recognize reimbursable revenues and the corresponding costs as we provide the customer ‑ requested goods and services. We have elected to exclude from the transaction price measurement all taxes assessed by a governmental authority. Disaggregation of Revenue The following tables present our revenue disaggregated by revenue source for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31 , 2020 Jackups Deepwater Management Consolidated (in thousands) Dayrate revenue $ 59,624 $ 46,455 $ 798 $ 106,877 Charter lease revenue 476 — — 476 Amortized revenue 1,889 4,045 — 5,934 Reimbursable revenue 7,576 5,582 417 13,575 Total revenue $ 69,565 $ 56,082 $ 1,215 $ 126,862 Year Ended December 31 , 2019 Jackups Deepwater Management Consolidated (in thousands) Dayrate revenue $ 88,606 $ 52,005 $ 1,277 $ 141,888 Contract termination revenue — 594,029 — 594,029 Charter lease revenue 4,461 — — 4,461 Amortized revenue 1,626 2,334 — 3,960 Reimbursable revenue 8,937 4,676 2,897 16,510 Total revenue $ 103,630 $ 653,044 $ 4,174 $ 760,848 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Jackups Deepwater Management Consolidated (in thousands) Dayrate revenue $ 84,777 $ 115,406 $ 1,220 $ 201,403 Amortized revenue 1,049 2,333 — 3,382 Reimbursable revenue 10,229 6,115 4,618 20,962 Total revenue $ 96,055 $ 123,854 $ 5,838 $ 225,747 Dayrate revenue and amortized revenue for “Jackups” and “Deepwater” are included within “Contract drilling services” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. All other revenue, excluding “Contract termination revenue”, are included within “Reimbursables and other” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accounts Receivable, Contract Liabilities and Contract Costs Accounts receivable are recognized when the right to consideration becomes unconditional based upon contractual billing schedules. Payment terms on customer invoices typically range from 30 to 45 days. We recognize contract liabilities, recorded in other “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” on our Consolidate Balance Sheet, for prepayments received from customers and for deferred revenue received for mobilization, contract preparation and capital upgrades. Certain direct and incremental costs incurred for contract preparation, initial mobilization and modifications of contracted rigs represent contract fulfillment costs as they relate directly to a contract, enhance resources that will be used to satisfy our performance obligations in the future and are expected to be recovered. These costs are deferred as a current or noncurrent asset depending on the length of the initial contract term and are amortized on a straight-line basis to operating costs as services are rendered over the initial term of the related drilling contract. Costs incurred for capital upgrades are capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Costs incurred for the demobilization of rigs at contract completion are recognized as incurred during the demobilization process. Costs incurred to mobilize a rig without a contract are expensed as incurred. The following table provides information about contract cost assets and contract revenue liabilities from contracts with customers: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (in thousands) Current contract cost assets $ 2,905 $ 132 Noncurrent contract cost assets — 1,598 Current contract revenue liabilities 5,100 2,912 Noncurrent contract revenue liabilities — 2,090 Significant changes in contract cost assets and contract revenue liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows: Contract Costs Contract Revenues (in thousands) Balance as of December 31, 2019 $ 1,730 $ 5,002 Increase due to contractual additions 3,641 9,295 Decrease due to recognition (2,466 ) (8,674 ) Decrease due to transfer to payable during the period — (523 ) Balance as of December 31, 2020 (1) $ 2,905 $ 5,100 (1) We expect to recognize contract revenues of approximately $5.1 million in 2021 related to unsatisfied performance obligations existing as of December 31, 2020. We have elected to utilize an optional exemption that permits us to exclude disclosure of the estimated transaction price related to the variable portion of unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period, as our transaction price is based on a single performance obligation consisting of a series of distinct hourly increments, the variability of which will be resolved at the time of the future services. |

In April 2017, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement with a third party, we completed the purchase of a class 154-44C jackup rig and related multi-year drilling contract for $13.0 million. A down payment of $1.3 million was made in February 2017 upon execution of the agreement and the remaining $11.7 million was paid at closing. In August 2017, we substituted the Sapphire Driller Vantage 260, |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | 5. Leases We have operating leases expiring at various dates, principally for office space, onshore storage yards and certain operating equipment. Additionally, we sublease certain office space to third parties. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months are included in “Operating lease ROU assets”, “Other current liabilities”, and “Other long-term liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to or at the commencement date and is reduced by lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally not accounted for separately. Certain of our leases include provisions for variable payments. These variable payments are not included in the calculation of lease liability and ROU assets. The components of lease expense were as follows: (in thousands) Classification in the Consolidated Statement of Operations 2020 2019 Operating lease cost (1) Operating costs $ 3,509 $ 5,633 Operating lease cost (1) General and administrative 607 1,160 Sublease income Operating costs (485 ) (475 ) Sublease income General and administrative (247 ) (296 ) Total operating lease cost $ 3,384 $ 6,022 (1) Short-term lease costs were $0.5 million and $2.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Operating cash flows used for operating leases approximates lease expense.

ROU assets and lease liabilities recorded for leases commencing during the three months ended December 31, 2020 was immaterial. The bareboat charter contract on the Soehanah jackup rig was accounted for as an operating lease with charter revenue included in “Reimbursables and other” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In May 2019, the parties to the bareboat charter terminated the charterer’s right to acquire the rig at the end of the term of the bareboat charter, which was originally intended to end on December 31, 2019. However, under the terms of the bareboat charter, the lease term continued until the rig was redelivered to the Company, which occurred on February 3, 2020. Please refer to “ Note 4.

On November 30, 2018, the Company issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% First Lien Notes in a private placement. The 9.25% First Lien Notes were issued at par and are fully guaranteed on senior secured basis, by the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The 9.25% First Lien Notes are subject to first payment priority in favor of holders of up to $50.0 million of future super-priority debt and are subject to both mandatory and optional redemption provisions. The 9.25% First Lien Notes mature on November 15, 2023 and bear interest from the date of their issuance at the rate of 9.25% per year. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and is payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on May 15, 2019. The First Lien Indenture includes customary covenants and events of default, including covenants that, among other things, restrict the granting of liens, restrict the making of investments, restrict the incurrence of indebtedness and the conveyance of vessels, limit transactions with affiliates, and require that the Company provide periodic financial reports. The net proceeds from the issuance were used (i) to repay all obligations under the 2016 Term Loan Facility and to terminate the credit agreement governing such facility, (ii) to redeem all outstanding 10% Second Lien Notes, (iii) to fund the remaining amounts to be paid in connection with the purchase of the Soehanah Concurrently with the issuance of the 9.25% First Lien Notes, we entered into a new letter of credit facility to replace the letter of credit facility existing under the 2016 Term Loan Facility. The new facility has a capacity of $50.0 million, with all outstanding letters of credit being cash collateralized. We have issued $10.1 million in letters of credit under this facility as of December 31, 2020. On July 8, 2019, we commenced the Offer to repurchase up to $75.0 million of the 9.25% First Lien Notes at a purchase price equal to 100.0% of the principal of the 9.25% First Lien Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, but not including, the date fixed for the purchase of the 9.25% First Lien Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer. The Offer to purchase for cash was made pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Indenture in connection with the receipt by our subsidiaries, VDEEP and VDDI, of approximately $690.8 million and $10.1 million, respectively, on June 21, 2019 on account of the Petrobras Award. In accordance with the First Lien Indenture, we were required to offer to purchase at least $75.0 million of the 9.25% First Lien Notes in accordance with the terms thereof. No 9.25% First Lien Notes were tendered for purchase as of the Offer Expiration Date. Accordingly, the Company concluded its obligation under the First Lien Indenture to conduct such offer, and, in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Indenture, the proceeds from the Petrobras Agreement (net of direct costs relating to the recovery thereof) are available for use by the Company without any restrictions under the First Lien Indenture. Convertible Notes. On June 7, 2019, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved the conversion of all of the Convertible Notes into Ordinary Shares of the Company to take effect on or as promptly as practicable after July 1, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions required by the indenture governing the Convertible Notes. The Company then announced on July 18, 2019 that, in light of the Petrobras Agreement between the Petrobras Parties and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, the Board of Directors had decided to reevaluate whether it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to proceed with the Conversion at that point in time. No action was undertaken by the Company at that time to proceed with the Conversion. On November 18, 2019, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized the Conversion. On December 4, 2019, the outstanding principal amount of approximately $775.8 million was converted to outstanding Ordinary Shares at a rate of approximately 0.01046, which equates to one ordinary share per $95.60 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. |

Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) | 7. Shareholders’ Equity Stock Issuance VDI has 50,000,000 authorized Ordinary Shares. Note 6. Debt Special On November 18, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special cash distribution in the aggregate amount of $525.0 million, or $40.03 per share, paid on December 17, 2019, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 10, 2019, (the “Special Cash Distribution”). The Special Cash Distribution is a use of proceeds from the Petrobras Award. The Company bound judgment preservation insurance to insure against the contingency of being required to return the Petrobras Payment. See Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies Share-based Compensation On August 9, 2016, the Company adopted the Amended 2016 MIP to align the interests of participants with those of the shareholders by providing incentive compensation opportunities tied to the performance of the Company’s equity securities. Pursuant to the 2016 Amended MIP, the Compensation Committee may grant to employees, directors and consultants stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other awards. As of December 31, 2020, there were 308,239 shares available for future grant under the Amended 2016 MIP. Prior to the Conversion, both the TBGs and PBGs were classified as liabilities consistent with the classification of the underlying securities. Following the Conversion, outstanding TBGs and PBGs were subject to modification accounting and were reclassified as equity awards. In connection with the Conversion, each restricted stock unit was converted into approximately 2.868 Company common shares, with a per-share average fair value of $66.26. No additional compensation costs were recognized at conversion as there was no change in the terms affecting the estimate of fair value. Pursuant to the Amended 2016 MIP and the terms of the applicable unit awards, participants holding restricted stock units are contractually entitled to receive all dividends or other distributions that are paid to VDI stockholders provided that any such dividends will be subject to the same vesting requirements of the underlying units. Dividend payments accrue to outstanding awards (both vested and unvested) in the form of “Dividend Equivalents” equal to the dividend per share underlying the applicable MIP award. As a result of the Special Cash Distribution discussed above in this “ Note 7. Shareholders’ Equity ” “ Note 7. Shareholders’ Equity ” For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recognized share-based compensation related to the TBGs of approximately $1.6 million, $1.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, there was approximately $0.5 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to TBGs, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 0.5 years. The total award date value of time vested restricted shares that vested during the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $3.6 million. Share-based compensation expense for PBGs will be recognized when it is probable that the TEV targets will be met. Once it is probable the performance condition will be met, compensation expense based on the fair value of the PBGs at the conversion date will be recognized for the service period completed. As of December 31, 2020, we concluded that it was not probable that the TEV performance condition would be met and therefore, no share-based compensation expense was recognized for PBGs, which have a remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 2.1 years. A summary of the status of non-vested restricted units at December 31, 2020 and changes during the year ended December 31, 2020 is as follows: Time Vested Restricted Units Outstanding Weighted Average Award Date Unit Price Performance Vested Restricted Units Outstanding Weighted Average Award Date Unit Price Nonvested restricted units at December 31, 2019 80,209 $ 66.26 475,792 $ 66.26 Awarded — — — — Vested (55,074 ) 66.26 — — Forfeited (4,428 ) 66.26 (41,355 ) 66.26 Nonvested restricted units at December 31, 2020 20,707 $ 66.26 434,437 $ 66.26 |

Income Taxes | 8. Income Taxes VDI is a Cayman Islands corporation operating in multiple countries through its subsidiaries. The Cayman Islands do not impose corporate income taxes. Consequently, we have calculated income taxes based on the laws and tax rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted, or in which we and our subsidiaries are considered resident for income tax purposes. Our income taxes are generally dependent upon the results of our operations and when we generate significant revenues in jurisdictions where the income tax liability is based on gross revenues or asset values, there is no correlation to the net operating results and the income tax expense. Furthermore, in some jurisdictions we do not pay taxes, pay taxes at lower rates or receive benefits for certain income and expense items, including interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on disposal or transfer of assets, reorganization expenses and write-off of development costs. On January 22, 2020, VDI filed the Tax Election with the IRS to be treated as a partnership, rather than a corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with an effective date retroactive to December 9, 2019. As a result, U.S. Holders are required to take into account their allocable share of items of income, gain, loss deduction and credit of VDI for each taxable year of VDI ending with or within the U.S. Holder’s taxable year, regardless of whether any distribution has been or will be received from VDI. Each item generally will have the same character and source (either U.S. or foreign) as though the U.S. Holder had realized the item directly. We do not anticipate that VDI’s tax status will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted, a sweeping stimulus bill intended to bolster the U.S. economy and provide emergency financial assistance to qualifying businesses and individuals. The CARES Act, among other things, modified the net operating losses carryovers and carrybacks rules, and included modifications to Section 163(j) of the Code to increase the allowable business interest deduction. As of December 31, 2020, our analysis of the provisions of the CARES Act revealed no material implications on the income tax provision. The income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Current $ 4,676 $ 15,172 $ 14,784 Deferred 221 (51 ) 1,742 Total $ 4,897 $ 15,121 $ 16,526 A reconciliation of statutory and effective income tax rates is shown below: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Statutory rate 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % Effect of: Taxes on foreign earnings (2.5 ) % 3.6 % (14.1 ) % Uncertain tax positions 0.3 % 0.1 % 0.3 % Other 0.4 % (0.5 ) % 0.6 % Total (1.8 ) % 3.2 % (13.2 ) % The components of the net deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (in thousands) Deferred tax assets: Share-based compensation $ 1,144 $ 1,014 Accrued bonuses/compensation 256 483 Special compensation 220 268 Start-up costs 22 33 Loss carry-forwards 2,091 2,015 Deferred revenue — 91 Other deferred tax assets — 20 Total deferred tax assets 3,733 3,924 Valuation allowance (2,009 ) (2,015 ) Net deferred tax assets 1,724 1,909 Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment (755 ) (732 ) Deferred cost — (2 ) Deferred revenue (6 ) — Other deferred tax liability (10 ) — Total deferred tax liabilities (771 ) (734 ) Net deferred tax asset $ 953 $ 1,175 At December 31, 2020, we had foreign tax loss carry forwards of approximately $7.9 million, which will expire beginning in 2021. The increase in foreign tax loss carry forwards is primarily due losses incurred during the Current Year which offset expired and utilized amounts. The reduction in the valuation allowance primarily results from the expiration of loss carryforwards and valuation allowance releases upon utilization of certain loss carry forwards. We include as a component of our income tax provision potential interest and penalties related to recognized tax contingencies within our global operations. Interest and penalties expense of approximately $(0.4) million is included in 2020 income tax expense and total interest and penalties of approximately $1.3 million are accrued as of December 31, 2020. A reconciliation of our unrecognized tax benefits amount, excluding interest and penalties that we recognize as a component of income tax expense, is as follows (in thousands): Gross balance at January 1, 2020 $ 2,714 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 1 Additions for tax positions of prior years 6 Reductions for tax positions of prior years — Expiration of statues (390 ) Tax settlements — Gross balance at December 31, 2020 2,331 Related tax benefits — Net reserve at December 31, 2020 $ 2,331 Our periodic tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate in accordance with the normal statute of limitations in the applicable jurisdiction. These examinations may result in assessments of additional taxes that are resolved with the authorities or through the courts. Resolution of these matters involves uncertainties and there are no assurances as to the outcome. Our tax years from 2010 onward remain open to examination in many of our jurisdictions and we are currently involved in several tax examinations in jurisdictions where we are operating or have previously operated. As information becomes available during the course of these examinations, we may increase or decrease our estimates of tax assessments and accruals. |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 9. Commitments and Contingencies We are subject to litigation, claims and disputes in the ordinary course of business, some of which may not be covered by insurance. There is an inherent risk in any litigation or dispute and no assurance can be given as to the outcome of any claims. Drilling Contract Arbitration On August 31, 2015, PAI and PVIS, both subsidiaries of Petrobras, notified the Company of the termination of the Drilling Contract between PVIS and VDEEP, which had been novated to PAI and VDDI, claiming the Company had breached its obligations under the Drilling Contract. VDEEP and VDDI are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. We immediately filed an international arbitration claim against the Petrobras Parties, claiming wrongful termination of the Drilling Contract. On July 2, 2018, an international arbitration tribunal issued the Petrobras Award in favor of VDEEP and VDDI. The tribunal found that the Petrobras Parties breached the Drilling Contract, and awarded VDEEP and VDDI damages in the aggregate amount of $622.0 million against the Petrobras Parties and dismissed the Petrobras Parties’ counterclaims against the Company with prejudice. The tribunal also awarded the Company interest on the foregoing award amount at an annual rate of 15.2%, compounded monthly, to accrue from (i) April 1, 2018, with respect to $615.6 million thereof, (ii) October 20, 2015, with respect to $5.2 million thereof, and (iii) November 19, 2015, with respect to $1.2 million thereof, in each case, until final payment of the Petrobras Award. In accordance with the terms of the Petrobras Award, each of the Company and Petrobras bore its own legal fees, and the fees and expenses of the tribunal, including the compensation of the arbitrators, aggregating approximately $1.5 million, were borne equally by both sides. On July 2, 2018, VDEEP and VDDI filed a petition (the “Petition”) in the U.S. District Court – Texas to confirm the Petrobras Award against the Petrobras Parties. On August 31, 2018, the Petrobras Parties filed with the U.S. District Court – Texas, among other things, a response to the Petition and a motion to vacate the Petrobras Award (the “Response and Motion to Vacate”). On March 8, 2019, the U.S. District Court – Texas heard both the Petition and the Response and Motion to Vacate. On May 20, 2019, the U.S. District Court – Texas granted the Petition to confirm the Petrobras Award against the Petrobras Parties and denied the Petrobras Parties’ motion to vacate the Petrobras Award. On May 22, 2019, the U.S. District Court – Texas rendered its final judgment in favor of VDEEP and VDDI in the amount of approximately $734.0 million. Separately, in connection with enforcing the Petrobras Award against the Petrobras Parties, VDEEP and VDDI secured an order from the Amsterdam District Court in the Netherlands on August 22, 2018, which froze certain assets of Petrobras and PVIS in the Netherlands that we believe are valued in excess of our claim at this time. On November 15, 2018, VDEEP and VDDI filed a petition in the Court of Appeals in The Hague, the Netherlands, to recognize and enforce the Petrobras Award against the Petrobras Parties in the Netherlands (the “Dutch Enforcement Action”). On March 1, 2019, the Petrobras Parties filed their statement of defense with the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals heard the petition of VDEEP and VDDI and the Petrobras Parties’ statement of defense on May 14, 2019. On June 20, 2019, VDEEP and VDDI entered into the Petrobras Agreement with the Petrobras Parties relating to the Petrobras Award. The Petrobras Agreement considered the Petrobras Award amount together with interest calculated through May 22, 2019 and reduced that amount by 4.5%. Pursuant to the Petrobras Agreement, PVIS agreed to pay VDEEP $690,810,875 and PAI agreed to pay VDDI $10,128,565 (collectively, the “Petrobras Payments”), in full satisfaction and payment of the Petrobras Award and the related judgment entered by the U.S. District Court – Texas confirming the Petrobras Award (the “Judgment”). Neither party released any of its claims, except for certain claims in respect of certain pre-judgment attachments made by VDEEP and VDDI on certain assets of PVIS and Petrobras in the Netherlands. VDEEP and VDDI received the Petrobras Payments in full on June 21, 2019. Under the Petrobras Agreement, VDEEP and VDDI were required to take actions in order to release liens on certain Petrobras assets in the United States and the Netherlands. In addition, the parties agreed under the Petrobras Agreement to a stay of the Dutch Enforcement Action until such time as there is a final, non-appealable judgment in the U.S. proceedings or until such time as the Petrobras Parties assert a claim for reimbursement of all or any part of the Petrobras Payments, whichever is earlier. The Petrobras Parties filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (the “Fifth Circuit”) seeking a reversal of the Judgment, which confirmed the Petrobras Award and denied their motion for vacatur. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held oral arguments among the parties on June 10, 2020 and on July 16, 2020, the court affirmed the Judgment and the Petrobras Award in our favor and denied the Petrobras Parties’ motion for vacatur. Subsequently, the Petrobras Parties filed a petition with the Fifth Circuit for a rehearing by the panel that heard the appeal and, separately, for a rehearing by the entire Fifth Circuit. On August 28, 2020, the three-judge panel and the entire Fifth Circuit denied the Petrobras Parties’ respective petitions for rehearing. The Petrobras Parties filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court on January 25, 2021 seeking the reversal of the Fifth Circuit’s decision affirming the U.S. District Court’s decision to confirm the Petrobras Award. On February 22, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the Petrobras Parties’ petition and therefore, the foregoing matter is closed. Brazil Improbity Action On April 27, 2018, the Company was added as an additional defendant in a legal proceeding initiated by the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor against certain individuals, including an executive of Petrobras and two political lobbyists, in connection with the contracting of the Titanium Explorer Titanium Explorer th The damages claimed in the proceeding are in the amount of BRL 102.8 million (approximately $20.4 million as of the date of this Annual Report), together with a civil fine equal to three times that amount. The Company understands that the Brazilian Federal Court the proceeding has issued an order authorizing the seizure and freezing of the assets of the Company and the other three defendants in the legal proceeding, as a precautionary measure, in the amount of approximately $81.6 million as of the date of this Annual Report. The Company and the other three defendants are jointly and severally liable for this amount. The seizure order has not had an effect on the Company’s assets or operations, as the Company does not own any assets in Brazil, and does not currently intend to relocate any assets to Brazil. On February 13, 2019, we learned that the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor had previously requested mutual legal assistance from the U.S. DOJ pursuant to the United Nations Convention against Corruption of 2003 to obtain a freezing order against the Company’s U.S. assets in the amount of $81.6 million as of the date of this Annual Report. The Company believes this request is not supported by applicable law and intends to vigorously oppose and defend against any attempts to seize its assets. On April 12, 2019, we filed an interlocutory appeal with the 4 th On May 20, 2019, the Company announced that the Brazilian Appellate Court ruled in favor of the Company’s appeal to stay the seizure and freezing order of the Brazilian Federal Court. The foregoing ruling is still subject to confirmation by a three-judge panel, and is subject to appeal, and the Company can offer no assurances that the stay will be confirmed or as to the outcome of any appeal thereof. The Company has communicated the Brazilian Appellate Court’s ruling to the DOJ, and has asked the Brazilian Federal Court to do the same. On July 18, 2019, the Company announced that the Brazilian Government made a filing with the Brazilian Federal Court reporting that the DOJ has advised the Brazilian Ministry of Justice that it would not be possible for the DOJ to comply with the mutual assistance request in respect of the asset freeze order. The Company also announced that it learned from the Brazilian Ministry of Justice that the DOJ’s response to the request for mutual assistance stated that no legal grounds existed for implementing the requested asset freeze, and that the DOJ was returning the request without taking action and considers the matter concluded. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the allegations made in the underlying improbity action. However, we can neither predict the ultimate outcome of this matter nor that there will not be further developments in the “Car Wash” investigation or in any other ongoing investigation or related proceeding that could adversely affect us. At this time, we are not yet able to determine the likelihood of loss, if any, arising from this matter. Restructuring Agreement and Associated Settlement Agreement Pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Agreement among VDC and a majority of our secured creditors, the Company agreed to the Reorganization Plan and VDC agreed to commence official liquidation proceedings under the laws of the Cayman Islands. On December 2, 2015, pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, the Company acquired two subsidiaries responsible for the management of the Company from VDC in exchange for the VDC Note. In connection with our separation from VDC, we and the Joint Official Liquidators, appointed to oversee the liquidation of VDC, entered into discussions regarding the settlement of certain intercompany receivables and payables as between the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and VDC and its subsidiaries on the other. On March 4, 2020, we and our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and VDC and their subsidiaries, on the other, entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the parties to the settlement agreement agreed to release each other from certain claims in exchange for Vantage paying VDC $15.0 million, subject to the approval of the Court of Grand Cayman. On March 16, 2020, the Court of Grand Cayman approved the settlement agreement. On March 25, 2020, the Company paid $15.0 million in accordance with the settlement agreement, fully resolving the matter. Other Commitments We enter into operating leases in the normal course of business for office space, housing, vehicles and specified operating equipment. Some of these leases contain renewal options which would cause our future cash payments to change if we exercised those renewal options. See “ Note 5. Leases ” At December 31, 2020, we had purchase commitments of $10.2 million. Our purchase commitments consist of obligations outstanding to external vendors primarily related to capital upgrades, materials, spare parts, consumables and related supplies for our drilling rigs. |

Business Segment Information | 11. Business Segment Information We aggregate our contract drilling operations into one reportable segment even though we provide contract drilling services with different types of rigs, including jackup rigs and drillships, and in different geographic regions. Our operations are dependent on the global oil and gas industry and our rigs are relocated based on demand for our services and customer requirements. Our customers consist primarily of large international oil and gas companies, national or government-controlled oil and gas companies and other international exploration and production companies. The Soehanah Additionally, for drilling units owned by others, we provide construction supervision services while under construction, preservation management services when stacked and operations and marketing services for operating rigs. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, a substantial amount of our revenue was from countries outside of the United States. Consequently, we are exposed to the risk of changes in economic, political and social conditions inherent in foreign operations. Five customers accounted for approximately 25%, 17%, 14%, 12% and 10% of consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020. Contract termination revenue from the Petrobras Parties accounted for approximately 78% of consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding the contract termination revenue received from the Petrobras Parties, four customers accounted for approximately 23%, 23%, 13% and 11% of consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019.

These amounts represent our customer’s decision not to pay us for days impacted by what we believe are force majeure and other events for which we would be entitled to receive payment under our contract. We disagree with their decision and are evaluating remedies, if any, under the contract. Earnings (loss) per share is computed independently for each of the periods presented. Therefore, the sum of the periods’ earnings (loss) per share may not agree to the total computed for the year. |

Basis of Consolidation | Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and include our accounts and those of our majority owned subsidiaries and VIEs discussed below. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. In addition to the consolidation of our majority owned subsidiaries, we also consolidate VIEs when we are determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between us and the VIE. ADVantage is a joint venture company formed to operate deepwater drilling rigs in Egypt. We determined that ADVantage met the criteria of a VIE for accounting purposes because its equity at risk was insufficient to permit it to carry on its activities without additional subordinated financial support from us. We also determined that we are the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes since we are entitled to use ADVantage for deepwater drilling contract opportunities rejected by ADES, and have the (a) power to direct the operating activities associated with the deepwater drilling rigs, which are the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (b) obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive a majority of the benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. As a result, we consolidate ADVantage in our consolidated financial statements, we eliminate intercompany transactions and we present the interests that are not owned by us as “Noncontrolling interests” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The carrying amount associated with ADVantage was as follows: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (unaudited, in thousands) Current assets $ 7,072 $ 14,589 Non-current assets 84 3,643 Current liabilities 3,979 11,560 Non-current liabilities 741 4,159 Net carrying amount $ 2,436 $ 2,513 As ADVantage is a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, it serves as a guarantor under the First Lien Indenture relating to the 9.25% First Lien Notes. The 9.25% First Lien Notes are secured by a first priority lien on all of the assets of ADVantage, subject to certain exceptions. Creditors’ recourse against ADVantage for liabilities of ADVantage is limited to the assets of ADVantage. See “ Note 1. Organization and Recent Events ” “ Note 10. Supplemental Financial Information ” |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to property and equipment, income taxes, insurance, employee benefits and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents: Includes deposits with financial institutions as well as short-term money market instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. |
Materials and Supplies | Materials and Supplies: Consists of materials, spare parts, consumables and related supplies for our drilling rigs. We record these materials and supplies at their average cost. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment: Consists of our drilling rigs, furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and capitalized costs for computer software. Drilling rigs are depreciated on a component basis over estimated useful lives ranging from five to 35 years on a straight-line basis as of the date placed in service. Other assets are depreciated upon placement in service over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years on a straight-line basis. When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is included in “Operating costs” or “General and administrative” expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, depending on the nature of the asset. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recognized a net loss of approximately $0.1 million, a net loss of approximately $0.2 million and a net gain of approximately $1.3 million, respectively, related to the sale or retirement of assets. We evaluate the realization of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss on our property and equipment exists when estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized would be computed as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over the estimated fair value. Estimates of future cash flows require us to make long-term forecasts of our future revenues and operating costs with regard to the assets subject to review. Our business, including the utilization rates and dayrates we receive for our drilling rigs, depends on the level of our customers’ expenditures for oil and gas exploration, development and production expenditures. Oil and gas prices and customers’ expectations of potential changes in these prices, the general outlook for worldwide economic growth, political and social stability in the major oil and gas producing basins of the world, availability of credit and changes in governmental laws and regulations, among many other factors, significantly affect our customers’ levels of expenditures. Sustained declines in or persistent depressed levels of oil and gas prices, worldwide rig counts and utilization, reduced access to credit markets, reduced or depressed sale prices of comparably equipped jackups and drillships and any other significant adverse economic news could require us to evaluate the realization of our drilling rigs. In connection with our adoption of fresh-start accounting upon our emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, an adjustment of $2.0 billion was recorded to decrease the net book value of our drilling rigs to the then estimated fair value. As a result of the continued spread of COVID-19 and oil price and market share volatility, we tested for impairment based on impairment indicators identified in the first quarter of 2020. The recoverability test performed resulted in no impairment loss being recorded as the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated from our drilling rigs exceeded their carrying values as of March 31, 2020. The projections and assumptions used in that analysis did not change significantly during the three months ended June 30, 2020; accordingly, no triggering event had occurred to indicate that the carrying value of our drilling rigs would not be recoverable at that time. During the third quarter of 2020, we identified indicators that the carrying amounts of our deepwater asset groups may not be recoverable. Such indicators included the continued impact of COVID-19 on global economic activity and the resulting reductions and delays in deepwater oil and gas exploration and development plans on the part of operators leading to increased barriers for the reactivation of stacked rigs. As a result of our impairment testing, we determined that the carrying amount of our longer-term warm stacked drillship, the Titanium Explorer Titanium Explor Platinum Explorer Tungsten Explorer Interest costs and the amortization of debt financing costs related to the financings of our drilling rigs are capitalized as part of the cost while they are under construction and prior to the commencement of each vessel’s first contract. We did not capitalize any interest for the reported periods. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets: In April 2017, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement with a third party, we completed the purchase of the , a class 154-44C jackup rig, and a related multi-year drilling contract for $13.0 million. In connection with our acquisition we recorded an identifiable intangible asset of $12.6 million for the fair value of the acquired favorable drilling contract. The resulting intangible asset was amortized on a straight-line basis over the two-year term of the drilling contract, which ended April 2019. We recognized approximately $1.6 million and $6.3 million of amortization expense for intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
Debt Financing Costs | Debt Financing Costs: Costs incurred with debt financings are deferred and amortized over the term of the related financing facility on a straight-line basis which approximates the interest method. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. |
Rig and Equipment Certifications | Rig and Equipment Certifications: We are required to obtain regulatory certifications to operate our drilling rigs and certain specified equipment and must maintain such certifications through periodic inspections and surveys. The costs associated with these certifications, including drydock costs, are deferred and amortized over the corresponding certification periods |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition : See “ Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers ” of these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information. The activities that primarily drive the revenue earned in our drilling contracts with customers include (i) providing our drilling rig, work crews, related equipment and services necessary to operate the rig, (ii) delivering the drilling rig by mobilizing to and demobilizing from the drill site, and (iii) performing pre-operating activities, including rig preparation activities and/or equipment modifications required for the contract. The integrated drilling services that we perform under each drilling contract represent a single performance obligation satisfied over time and comprised of a series of distinct time increments, or service periods. Dayrate Drilling Revenue. Our drilling contracts generally provide for payment on a dayrate basis, with higher rates for periods when the drilling unit is operating and lower rates or zero rates for periods when drilling operations are interrupted or restricted. The dayrate billed to the customer is determined based on varying rates applicable to the specific activities performed on an hourly basis. Such dayrate consideration is allocated to the distinct hourly increment it relates to within the contract term and therefore, recognized as we perform the daily drilling services. Amortizable Revenue. In connection with certain contracts, we receive lump-sum fees or similar compensation for (i) the mobilization of equipment and personnel prior to the commencement of drilling services, (ii) the demobilization of equipment and personnel upon contract completion or (iii) postponement fees in consideration for the postponement of a contract until a later date. These activities are not considered to be distinct within the context of the contract and therefore, the associated revenue is allocated to the overall single performance obligation. Mobilization fees received prior to commencement of drilling operations are recorded as a contract liability and amortized on a straight ‑ Capital Upgrade/Contract Preparation Revenue. In connection with certain contracts, we receive lump-sum fees or similar compensation for requested capital upgrades to our drilling rigs or for other contract preparation work. These activities are not considered to be distinct within the context of the contract and therefore, fees received are recorded as a contract liability and amortized to contract drilling revenues on a straight-line basis over the initial contract term. Contract Termination Revenue. On June 20, 2019, VDEEP and VDDI entered into the Petrobras Agreement with the Petrobras Parties relating to the Petrobras Award. See “ Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies ” of these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the Petrobras Agreement and the Petrobras Award. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized approximately $594.0 million in “Contract termination revenue” and $106.9 million in “Interest income” associated with the Petrobras Payments (as defined in “ Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies ” of these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” ) . Revenues Related to Reimbursable Expenses. We generally receive reimbursements from our customers for the purchase of supplies, equipment, personnel services and other services provided at their request in accordance with a drilling contract or other agreement. We are generally considered a principal in such transactions and therefore, recognize reimbursable revenues and the corresponding costs as we provide the customer ‑ requested goods and services. We have elected to exclude from the transaction price measurement all taxes assessed by a governmental authority. Disaggregation of Revenue The following tables present our revenue disaggregated by revenue source for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31 , 2020 Jackups Deepwater Management Consolidated (in thousands) Dayrate revenue $ 59,624 $ 46,455 $ 798 $ 106,877 Charter lease revenue 476 — — 476 Amortized revenue 1,889 4,045 — 5,934 Reimbursable revenue 7,576 5,582 417 13,575 Total revenue $ 69,565 $ 56,082 $ 1,215 $ 126,862 Year Ended December 31 , 2019 Jackups Deepwater Management Consolidated (in thousands) Dayrate revenue $ 88,606 $ 52,005 $ 1,277 $ 141,888 Contract termination revenue — 594,029 — 594,029 Charter lease revenue 4,461 — — 4,461 Amortized revenue 1,626 2,334 — 3,960 Reimbursable revenue 8,937 4,676 2,897 16,510 Total revenue $ 103,630 $ 653,044 $ 4,174 $ 760,848 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Jackups Deepwater Management Consolidated (in thousands) Dayrate revenue $ 84,777 $ 115,406 $ 1,220 $ 201,403 Amortized revenue 1,049 2,333 — 3,382 Reimbursable revenue 10,229 6,115 4,618 20,962 Total revenue $ 96,055 $ 123,854 $ 5,838 $ 225,747 Dayrate revenue and amortized revenue for “Jackups” and “Deepwater” are included within “Contract drilling services” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. All other revenue, excluding “Contract termination revenue”, are included within “Reimbursables and other” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accounts Receivable, Contract Liabilities and Contract Costs Accounts receivable are recognized when the right to consideration becomes unconditional based upon contractual billing schedules. Payment terms on customer invoices typically range from 30 to 45 days. We recognize contract liabilities, recorded in other “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” on our Consolidate Balance Sheet, for prepayments received from customers and for deferred revenue received for mobilization, contract preparation and capital upgrades. Certain direct and incremental costs incurred for contract preparation, initial mobilization and modifications of contracted rigs represent contract fulfillment costs as they relate directly to a contract, enhance resources that will be used to satisfy our performance obligations in the future and are expected to be recovered. These costs are deferred as a current or noncurrent asset depending on the length of the initial contract term and are amortized on a straight-line basis to operating costs as services are rendered over the initial term of the related drilling contract. Costs incurred for capital upgrades are capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Costs incurred for the demobilization of rigs at contract completion are recognized as incurred during the demobilization process. Costs incurred to mobilize a rig without a contract are expensed as incurred. The following table provides information about contract cost assets and contract revenue liabilities from contracts with customers: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (in thousands) Current contract cost assets $ 2,905 $ 132 Noncurrent contract cost assets — 1,598 Current contract revenue liabilities 5,100 2,912 Noncurrent contract revenue liabilities — 2,090 Significant changes in contract cost assets and contract revenue liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows: Contract Costs Contract Revenues (in thousands) Balance as of December 31, 2019 $ 1,730 $ 5,002 Increase due to contractual additions 3,641 9,295 Decrease due to recognition (2,466 ) (8,674 ) Decrease due to transfer to payable during the period — (523 ) Balance as of December 31, 2020 (1) $ 2,905 $ 5,100 (1) We expect to recognize contract revenues of approximately $5.1 million in 2021 related to unsatisfied performance obligations existing as of December 31, 2020. We have elected to utilize an optional exemption that permits us to exclude disclosure of the estimated transaction price related to the variable portion of unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period, as our transaction price is based on a single performance obligation consisting of a series of distinct hourly increments, the variability of which will be resolved at the time of the future services. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes: Income taxes are provided for based upon the tax laws and rates in effect in the countries in which our operations are conducted and income is earned. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or tax deductible amounts and are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. We do not establish deferred tax liabilities for certain of our foreign earnings that we intend to indefinitely reinvest to finance foreign activities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. We maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We monitor the credit ratings and our concentration of risk with these financial institutions on a continuing basis to safeguard our cash deposits. We have a limited number of key customers, who are primarily large international oil and gas operators, national oil companies and other international oil and gas companies. Our contracts provide for monthly billings as services are performed and we monitor compliance with contract payment terms on an ongoing basis. Payment terms on customer invoices typically range from 30 to 45 days. Outstanding receivables beyond payment terms are promptly investigated and discussed with the specific customer. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. Current estimates of expected credit losses consider factors such as the historical experience and credit quality of our customers. The Company considers historical loss information as the most reasonable basis on which to determine expected credit losses unless current or forecasted future conditions for customers or customer groups indicate that risk characteristics have changed. We considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated oil price and market share volatility (see and each of which are set forth above in “ Note 1. Organization and Recent Events ” of these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”) on our current estimate of credit losses as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts on our trade receivables was $5.0 million. This amount represents our customer’s decision not to pay us for days impacted by what we believe are force majeure and other events for which we would be entitled to receive payment under our contract. We disagree with their decision and are evaluating remedies, if any, under the contract. As of December 31, 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts on our trade receivables was immaterial. |
Earnings (Loss) per Share | Earnings (loss) per Share: We compute basic and diluted EPS in accordance with the two-class method. We include restricted stock units granted to employees that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends as such grants are considered participating securities. Basic earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted EPS are computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares and ordinary share equivalents outstanding in the applicable period, as if all potentially dilutive securities were converted into Ordinary Shares (using the treasury stock method). The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted EPS computations: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 (In thousands) Weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding for basic EPS 13,115 5,677 5,000 Restricted share equity awards — — — Adjusted weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding for diluted EPS 13,115 5,677 5,000 The following sets forth the number of shares excluded from diluted EPS computations: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 (In thousands) Convertible Notes — — 7,995 Restricted share equity awards 200 34 39 Future potentially dilutive Ordinary Shares excluded from diluted EPS 200 34 8,034 |
Functional Currency | Functional Currency: We consider USD to be the functional currency for all of our operations since the majority of our revenues and expenditures are denominated in USD, which limits our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations. We recognize currency exchange rate gains and losses in “Other, net” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recognized a net gain of $0.4 million, a net gain of $0.2 million and a net loss of $1.5 million, respectively, related to currency exchange rates. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair value of our short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet principally due to the short-term nature or floating rate nature of these instruments. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of the 9.25% First Lien Notes was approximately $197.9 million based on quoted market prices in a less active market, a Level 2 measurement. |
Share-based Compensation | Share-based Compensation: TBGs granted under the 2016 Amended MIP vest annually, ratably over four years; however, accelerated vesting is provided for in the event of a QLE. Otherwise, the settlement of any vested TBGs occurs upon the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date. Both the TBGs and PBGs were classified as liabilities consistent with the classification of the underlying securities prior to the Conversion. Following the Conversion, outstanding TBGs and PBGs were subject to modification accounting and were re-classified as equity awards. Under the provisions of ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation |
Noncontrolling Interest | Noncontrolling Interest: Noncontrolling interests represent the equity investments of the minority owner in ADVantage, a joint venture with ADES that we consolidate in our financial statements. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.” This ASU, and the related ASUs issued subsequently by the FASB, introduce a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial assets not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases and available-for-sale debt securities. The new ASU broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing estimates of expected credit losses and requires an entity to estimate credit losses over the life of an exposure based on historical information, current information and reasonable, supportable forecasts. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as our customers are primarily international oil companies, national oil companies and large independent oil companies that have historically had a very low incidence of bad debt expense. The Company has monitored, and will continue to actively monitor, the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on expected credit losses. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software." |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” |
Leases | Leases We have operating leases expiring at various dates, principally for office space, onshore storage yards and certain operating equipment. Additionally, we sublease certain office space to third parties. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months are included in “Operating lease ROU assets”, “Other current liabilities”, and “Other long-term liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to or at the commencement date and is reduced by lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally not accounted for separately. Certain of our leases include provisions for variable payments. These variable payments are not included in the calculation of lease liability and ROU assets. |
