We have historically grown our product and service offerings organically, through capital spending, and strategic acquisitions. Our investments are focused in areas where we expect to be able to expand market share through our new and existing technology offerings and where we believe we can achieve an attractive return on our investment. Given the highly cyclical nature of select U.S. service lines, we strategically implemented restructuring actions in our U.S. land-based businesses to improve future operating margins. As part of our long-term strategy, we continue to: seek opportunities for offshore and international business expansion; strategically optimize our U.S. land-based operations; market new technology offerings; invest in research and development; and fund organic capital expenditures to enhance our cash flows, leverage our cost structure and increase our stockholders’ returns.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
