8. Commitments and Contingencies
We lease land, buildings, storage facilities, vehicles, data processing equipment and software
under operating leases expiring in various years through 2012. Rent expense for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $24.6 million, $21.2 million and $19.0 million. Our
minimum rental commitments for operating leases at December 31, 2003 were as follows: 2004 -
$15.4 million; 2005 - $12.4 million; 2006 - $9.3 million; 2007 - $7.8 million; 2008 - $7.0 million
and subsequent to 2008 - $6.3 million.
We are involved in various claims, regulatory agency audits and pending or threatened legal
actions involving a variety of matters. The total liability on these matters at December 31, 2003
cannot be determined; however, in our opinion, any ultimate liability, to the extent not otherwise
provided for, should not materially affect our financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
Our business is affected both directly and indirectly by governmental laws and regulations
relating to the oilfield service industry in general, as well as by environmental and safety
regulations that specifically apply to our business. Although we have not incurred material costs
in connection with our compliance with such laws, there can be no assurance that other
developments, such as stricter environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies
thereunder could not result in additional, presently unquantifiable, costs or liabilities to us.
