In 1991 it was one of the companies used to cap the Kuwaiti oil fires. Its involvement was the subject of the documentary Fires of Kuwait. In 2001 it was acquired by Superior Energy Services.[4]
In 2008 it received a contract for $750 million to decommission seven downed platforms and related well facilities located offshore Louisiana belonging to BP, Chevron and Apache.
