Uncertain Tax Positions
 
We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized an increase of approximately $18.4 million in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007, balance of retained earnings. As of September 30, 2007, we have approximately $34.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The decrease in unrecognized tax benefits, as compared to our $38.5 million unrecognized tax benefit at June 30, 2007, is primarily due to the disposition of our Latin America Land and E&P Services segments.
 
We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2007, we have approximately $9.4 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
 
For jurisdictions other than the United States, tax years 1995 through 2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions. With regard to the United States, tax years 2001 through 2006 remain open to examination.
