Overview:
Tidewater Inc. is a mid-tier oilfield-services company headquartered in Houston, Texas, providing offshore support vessels and marine support services to the global offshore energy industry. The company's portfolio consists of 208 vessels, comprising 52 Anchor Handling Towing Supply (AHTS) vessels, 139 Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs), and 17 other specialty vessels. The business model focuses on chartering vessels on a time-charter basis to support all phases of offshore crude-oil and natural-gas exploration, field development, production, and maintenance, as well as offshore-windfarm development. A key competitive advantage is the size, age profile, diversity, and geographic distribution of its fleet, allowing it to respond quickly to changing local market conditions across its five operating regions: Americas, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Europe/Mediterranean, and West Africa. The global footprint provides diversified exposure to regional offshore activity cycles. The business is subject to commodity-price cycles and the capital-spending budgets of its exploration and production customers.
Strategy:
Strategic focus centers on maintaining a large, diversified fleet to support global offshore energy operations while navigating the energy transition. The enterprise intends to pursue acquisitions and other growth opportunities to unlock value through scale and diversification, evidenced by the pending acquisition of the Wilson Companies. Capital allocation is prioritized to maintain the fleet, fund strategic acquisitions, and return capital to shareholders through share-repurchase programs, including a US$500.0 million authorization approved in August 2025. The organization manages a global footprint to react quickly to changing local market conditions and customer requirements. Fleet scale, geographic diversification, and disciplined acquisition together frame the company's forward strategy.
Management:
Executive leadership is headed by President and Chief Executive Officer Quintin V. Kneen, who directs the company's fleet and commercial strategy. The Board of Directors is chaired by Dick H. Fagerstal. The Board oversees corporate strategy through several committees, including Audit; Compensation and Human Capital; Safety and Sustainability; and Nominating and Corporate Governance. Governance practices emphasise disciplined investment criteria, rigorous due diligence on acquisitions, and proactive oversight of the company's global vessel operations. This committee structure pairs experienced maritime leadership with board-level oversight of safety, sustainability, and capital allocation across a global offshore-support business.
Sustainability:
The organization's sustainability framework is guided by policies covering environmental stewardship, corporate social responsibility, and health and safety, overseen by the Board's Safety and Sustainability Committee. A key environmental initiative is maintaining a global Environmental Management System aligned to ISO 14001 to monitor fuel consumption, operational discharges, and waste across the fleet. The company formally participates in the UN Global Compact and publishes an annual Sustainability Report aligned with the SASB, GRI, and TCFD disclosure frameworks. Social programs focus on employee training, wellness incentives, and maintaining a health-and-safety culture grounded in eliminating workplace incidents. These named systems and frameworks connect the company's environmental monitoring and safety objectives across its five operating regions.
Structure:
A significant structural change is pending following a February 2026 definitive agreement to acquire the Wilson Companies, which own 22 PSVs in Brazil, for an aggregate cash purchase price of US$500.0 million, subject to the assumption of approximately US$261.0 million in debt. Corporate development has been shaped by several strategic acquisitions, including the July 2023 purchase of 37 PSVs from Solstad Offshore ASA for approximately US$594.2 million. In July 2025, the company issued US$650.0 million of 9.125% Senior Notes due 2030 to redeem its existing Senior Secured Term Loan and other senior notes, simplifying the capital structure. The corporate structure includes operations managed through five geographically aligned reporting segments. These transactions reflect a structure built around fleet expansion in key offshore basins and a refinanced, single-tranche senior-note capital base.
Hedge:
The treasury policy manages foreign-currency risk associated with the company's international operations and does not engage in speculative derivative activity. As of December 31, 2025, foreign-exchange exposure on non-USD cash balances held in certain African currencies is managed using forward exchange contracts to sell euros at future defined dates and fixed exchange rates. The combined mark-to-market position of these derivative instruments at year-end was a net liability of approximately US$1.3 million. No commodity or interest-rate hedges were outstanding as of year-end, leaving the company exposed to offshore-market activity cycles and to interest rates on its fixed-rate senior notes only to the extent of refinancing risk.

Tidewater Inc. - 10-K Filing - 2025
- The tables below list unit codes most often used in the Oil & Gas sector for this company. MetalPilot stores contained metal or product in the codes below; grade and tonnage use separate fields. In side-by-side comparison views (stock page Portfolio tab, watchlist By sector), heterogeneous source units are converted to each commodity's preferred display unit (for example Moz Au, kt Cu, MMbbl oil) before summing; the same canonical codes appear in project data.
- The Portfolio tab presents a project-level view of the company's reported assets, built from publicly disclosed information (technical reports, annual filings, MD&A, investor presentations, MRMR / R&R statements, NI 43-101 / NI 51-101 / SEC S-K 1300 / SEC S-K 1200 / JORC / SAMREC / PERC / PRMS / COGEH filings, and similar primary sources).
- Figures are grouped by project type (mining, oil & gas, royalty, stream, processing facility, development, portfolio aggregate) and are shown alongside the headline reserve base, headline production, headline grade / quality, cost benchmarks, estimated lifetime, commercial terms (for royalties / streams), operational capacity (for processing) and a single-figure rating where the underlying data supports one.
- Each data table on the Portfolio tab is followed by ONE Assumptions footnote describing the modelling choices for that table; KPI stat-card assumptions appear in the bottom block instead. All legal and section disclaimers are merged into a single disclaimer list at the bottom of the Portfolio tab.
- 1P/2P/3P — cumulative uncertainty. 1P = Proved (≥90%); 2P = Proved+Probable (≥50%, primary non-SEC metric); 3P adds Possible (≥10%). SEC filers often publish 1P only.
- Contingent (1C/2C/3C) = discovered, sub-commercial. Prospective (1U/2U/3U) = undiscovered. Neither feeds economic models without further work.
- Developed vs Undeveloped: PDP (producing), PDNP (developed non-producing), PUD (undeveloped). Reserves walk PUD→PDP is reclassification, not new discovery.
- BOE uses 6 Mcf gas : 1 bbl oil (thermal, not economic). Some issuers use 5.8:1 — read footnotes.
- Pricing case: Forecast vs Constant (NI 51-101/PRMS) or SEC 12-month average. Do not add cases together.
- Portfolio KPIs — company-level headline numbers aggregated from the featured projects (project counts, attributable annual production by commodity, attributable resource base by commodity, last filing date, operator share). USD value lines multiply attributable volumes by the resolved snapshot price.
- Portfolio snapshot — one-screen summary of the portfolio: counts by type and status, country mix, reporting standards used, operator share, primary commodity, attributable annual production summary and attributable resource base summary.
- Oil & Gas — one row per O&G project (typically a field, licence, play or basin asset), with columns for location, status, primary hydrocarbons, production (with rating), reserves & resources (with rating), costs and estimated lifetime.
- Royalty — one row per royalty interest held by the company. Columns cover the underlying project, operator, commodity, commercial terms (rate, type, cap, area-of-interest), attributable production, attributable reserves and estimated lifetime.
- Stream — one row per metal stream held by the company. Each row shows the underlying project, the streamed commodity, the headline stream percentage, the ongoing per-ounce / per-tonne payment, and attributable production / reserves.
- Processing facilities — one row per midstream / processing facility (pipeline, fractionator, LNG train, storage cavern, refinery, smelter, mill, heap-leach pad, CPP, etc.). Columns include nameplate capacity, contracted capacity, feedstock commodities and operational footprint.
- Development — projects in development status or in a pre-production lifecycle phase. The production column is re-labelled 'Targeted production (rating)' to highlight that the figures are plans, not actuals.
- Portfolio Aggregate — a single company-level row used when the company itself publishes a portfolio rollup (e.g. company-wide 2P barrels across all properties).
- Reserves & resources — detail — a leaf-category pivot showing every reserve and resource category disclosed across the projects.
- Reserves walk — gross (disclosed) — year-by-year reconciliation of the opening balance to the closing balance, broken into Extensions & discoveries, Revisions, Improved recovery, Purchases, Divestitures, Production and Conversion to developed.
- Reserves walk — net change by year — per-year summary of net additions and net deductions across the portfolio.
- NPV (grouped) — all NPV rows captured from the filings, grouped by commodity, resource category, development status and pricing case. Each NPV figure is shown with its discount rate, basis (before-tax / after-tax), currency and value scale.
- Ownership percentage means the company's working-interest share of the asset: its slice of the project before royalties and before government take. It is shown on a 0–100 scale.
- Mines, oil and gas fields, and processing facilities — this is how much of the asset belongs to the company under that working-interest idea. One hundred percent is fully owned; a lower number usually means partners share the rest.
- Royalties and streaming agreements — the percentage is often not the story; what matters economically is usually the royalty or stream rate, shown elsewhere alongside these figures.
- Oil and gas — read this as gross working interest only. Do not treat it as net production or net wells after royalties; when filings distinguish gross from net, that shows up in how the resource numbers themselves are labelled.
- Below 100% — the short summary for each project names other owners and their stakes when the source says who they are.
- NRI vs WI (O&G). Working interest (WI) is the obligation to pay a share of costs; net revenue interest (NRI) is the share of revenue after royalties and overriding-royalty interests. A 100% WI well rarely produces 100% NRI; typical onshore U.S. NRI is 75–87.5% of WI depending on the lease royalty.
- Operator vs non-operator. The operator runs day-to-day operations; non-operating partners pay their WI share of costs but do not run the asset. Some Portfolio rows show operator share where disclosed.
Oil equivalent (BOE)
Oil equivalent (BOE)
-
See commodity documentation in the domain package.
Oil
Generic crude (undifferentiated)
WTI
Use West Texas Intermediate directly as a coarse benchmark when the filing does not split product quality.
Natural gas
Pipeline natural gas
Henry Hub
Henry Hub is the reference US benchmark for US pipeline gas; use it directly when the disclosure is Hub-indexed.
NGL
NGL barrel (mixed NGLs)
Mont Belvieu NGL basket vs WTI
NGL barrels often track a fraction of crude; order-of-magnitude context is commonly cited around two-fifths to three-fifths of WTI.
Shale gas
Gas from shale / tight reservoirs
Henry Hub plus regional basis
Regional hubs price as Henry Hub plus or minus basis; shale supply broke tight coupling to oil, so do not back-solve shale gas from WTI.
Light oil
Light sweet crude
WTI / Brent
WTI and Brent are often treated as roughly 1:1 for light sweet barrels when a single anchor is enough.
Heavy oil
Heavy sour crude
WCS vs WTI
Western Canadian Select–style heavy blends often trade on the order of $10–20/bbl below WTI when differentials are in a normal range.
Bitumen
Oil-sands bitumen blend
WCS vs WTI
Same broad idea as heavy oil: bitumen blends anchor to wide differentials versus light sweet benchmarks such as WTI.
Synthetic crude
Upgraded oil-sands synthetic crude (SCO)
SCO vs WTI
Synthetic crude typically tracks WTI within a few dollars — sometimes near par, sometimes a small premium or discount.
Condensate
Field condensate / diluent
US condensate vs WTI
Field condensate can trade below WTI; some multi-year averages have been in the high single-digit dollars per barrel under WTI.
Coal bed methane
Coalbed methane (CBM)
Regional hub vs Henry Hub
CBM is usually quoted off a regional benchmark versus Henry Hub; it is a distinct product stream from tight shale gas in many filings.
- The Commodity column shows normalized labels; values are stored as snake_case CommodityCode strings in pkg/domain and project resource rows (for example shale_gas, oil_equivalent).
- Benchmarks and typical relationship cells are informal market context for reading disclosures — they are not MetalPilot price inputs.
- API gravity — lower = heavier. Light crude is ≥ 31.1° API (≤ 870 kg/m³); heavy is 22.3–31.1° API; extra-heavy is < 22.3°. Bitumen is ≤ 10° API.
- Sulphur — sweet vs sour. Sweet crude has ≤ 0.5% sulphur; sour > 0.5%. Refineries price the discount on sour crude into the differential.
- WTI vs Brent vs WCS. WTI (West Texas Intermediate, Cushing OK) is the U.S. light-sweet benchmark; Brent (North Sea) is the global light-sweet benchmark; WCS (Western Canadian Select) is the heavy/sour benchmark for Canadian production.

Other
Other / nonstandard
Verbatim source label; pair with commodity and original_classification when the unit is not yet mapped.
- Compound product names (LCE, U₃O₈, V₂O₅, Li₂O) belong on the commodity field, not inside contained_unit. Example: "kt LCE" → unit kt with commodity LCE; "Mlb U₃O₈" → unit mlb with commodity U3O8.
- In oilfield shorthand, M often means thousand and MM means million (e.g. mcf = thousand cubic feet; mmcf = million cubic feet). Metric codes (Mt, Moz, Mlb) always use M = million — context decides.
- The schema may also carry cpht on resource rows for diamond recovered grade; the same symbol is listed under Grade units.
- This tab highlights sector-typical units; the schema and importers still accept the full contained_unit enum from the domain package.
Percent (%)
Percent (%)
Generic grade when the payable element is obvious from the commodity column (e.g. Fe % in iron ore, Cu % in copper-only deposits). Use a specific unit (pctli2o, pctu3o8) when there is any ambiguity.
Other
Other / nonstandard
Source-specific grade; document the basis in original_classification or notes.
Btu/lb
BTU per pound (Btu/lb)
Natural-gas and thermal-coal heating value. Coal rank proxy (sub-bituminous ~8,000 Btu/lb; bituminous 11,000 – 14,000; anthracite >14,000).
- Use pctli2o and pctu3o8 when the source reports % Li₂O or % U₃O₈ explicitly; reserve generic percent for deposits where the payable metal is obvious from context.
- For ppm grades, the commodity column carries the element or compound (for example vanadium as V₂O₅) so the grade row stays unambiguous.
- Grade-on-grade conversions: 1 g/t ≈ 0.029 oz/short ton; 10,000 ppm = 1%; 10 kg/t = 1%; 1% U₃O₈ ≈ 0.848% U metal; 1% Li₂O ≈ 0.464% Li metal.
Metric tonne (t)
Metric tonne (1,000 kg)
Ore, waste, and plant throughput mass. Not the same as the U.S. short ton.
Thousand tonnes (kt)
Thousand metric tonnes
Base-metal deposits, coal seams at mine scale, fertilizers.
Million tonnes (Mt)
Million metric tonnes
Iron ore, coal, large porphyry tonnage. Metric Mt is always 10⁶ t (M = million in metric).
Cubic metre (m³)
Cubic metre (m³)
Brine cells, small heap-leach volumes.
Million cubic metres (Mm³)
Million cubic metres (Mm³)
Salar brine volumes, reservoir void space.
Cubic kilometre (km³)
Cubic kilometre (km³)
Basin-scale brine or aquifer models.
Acre-foot (ac-ft)
Acre-foot (~1,233 m³)
U.S. / South American brine and water-resource reporting.
- Tonnage and brine/reservoir volumes describe the orebody or fluid cell, not contained metal; contained metal is the product of tonnage × grade (with unit-aware conversions where needed).
- Brine and ISR deposits often report m³, Mm³, km³, or acre-feet instead of rock mass when the disclosure is volumetric.
- A short ton (US) is ~907 kg — about 7.4% less than a metric tonne. Legacy U.S. filings that report "Mt" of coal often mean Mst (million short tons).
- The conversions below appear regardless of sector — they are the ones readers most often need when reading a filing next to a table screenshot.
- Troy oz → Grams — × 31.1035 — precious-metal reserves use troy ounces.
- Avoirdupois oz → Grams — × 28.3495 — the everyday ounce; different unit from troy oz.
- Pound (lb) → Kilograms — × 0.45359 — avoirdupois pound.
- Short ton (st) → Metric tonnes (t) — × 0.90718 — a short ton is ~7.4% less than a metric tonne.
- g/t → oz / short ton — × 0.02917 — precious-metal grade conversion.
- ppm → % — × 10⁻⁴ — 10,000 ppm = 1%.
- kg / t → % — × 0.1 — 10 kg/t = 1%.
- Acre-foot → Cubic metres (m³) — × 1,233.5 — brine and water disclosures.
- Oil & gas conversions cover BOE thermal equivalence, volumetric crude conversions and the API-gravity / SG link.
- Mcf (gas) → Boe (energy) — × 1/6 — 6 Mcf gas ≈ 1 boe (thermal, not economic).
- Bbl → Cubic metres (m³) — × 0.15899 — 1 bbl ≈ 158.99 L.
- Tonnes LNG → Boe — × ~7.4 — thermal; varies with LNG composition.
- GJ → MMBtu — × 0.94782 — energy conversion.
- API gravity → Specific gravity — SG = 141.5 / (131.5 + API) — heavy < 22.3° API, light ≥ 31.1° API.
- Mcfe → MMboe → — — × 10⁻⁶ × (1/6) — combined-stream conversion.
- A 1 Bcm natural-gas reservoir is ≈ 35.3 Bcf ≈ 5.88 MMboe.
- Operating Cost / boe (O&G) — total operating expense ÷ boe produced; excludes royalties and taxes.
- Cash Cost / boe — operating cost / boe + transportation + production taxes / royalties.
- F&D Cost — Finding & Development cost per boe.
- Reserve Replacement Cost — capex (organic + acquisitions) per boe of reserves added.
- All cost metrics are non-GAAP and defined differently across companies; the same metric label may mean different things at different issuers.
- WI (×x%) — Working interest: disclosed gross value multiplied by ownership %. Applies to mining / O&G / processing-facility rows whose reporting_basis is gross or unset.
- Royalty (×r%) — Royalty / stream rate: gross property value multiplied by the headline interest rate (NSR %, stream %, …). Applies to royalty / stream rows on gross or unset reporting_basis with interest_rate set.
- Net (×1.0) — Disclosure is already net of royalties (reporting_basis = company_net_after_royalty). No further adjustment.
- Gross WI (×1.0) — Disclosure is already on a working-interest basis (reporting_basis = company_gross_wi). No further adjustment.
- Fully owned WI rows render as plain WI (no parenthetical). See METALPILOT Part 2 §3 (Ownership and reporting-basis attribution) and pkg/calc/attribution.go (EffectiveOwnershipMultiplier / EffectiveOwnershipAttribution).
- "M" can mean thousand or million depending on context. Oilfield convention uses M = thousand and MM = million (MMcf, MMbbl, MSTB). Metric codes (Mt, Moz, Mlb) always use M = million.
- Troy ounce ≠ avoirdupois ounce. 1 troy oz = 31.1035 g; the everyday ounce is 28.3495 g. Precious-metal reserves are always troy.
- Short ton ≠ metric tonne. A short ton (US) = 907 kg; a metric tonne = 1,000 kg. Reading legacy "1 Mt" coal as metric when it was short tons over-states tonnage by ~10%.
- Gross vs net. Gross is usually the 100% property number; net is usually working-interest share before royalties. Check reporting_basis.
- Inferred / Contingent / Prospective volumes are not bookable reserves and do not feed Portfolio economic figures.
