CES' estimated United States Market Share was approximately 6% in 2012, consistent with 6% in 2011. Estimated market share in the United States averaged 5% in Q4 2012, down slightly from 6% in Q4 2011. Operating Days in the United States were estimated to be 8,244 Operating Days for the three month period ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of 22% from 10,520 Operating Days during the same period last year. CES' Operating Days in the United States and estimated United States Market Share declined in October and November of 2012 predominantly in the Marcellus where activity continued to drop in a basin focused predominantly on dry gas targets. Consequently, CES' Operating Days and United States Market Share declined until additional work started to be picked up in the Eagle Ford region in December 2012. This pick-up has continued in Q1 2013, and the Mega Fluids acquisition related work has also been added effective January 1, 2013. Estimated Operating Days during 2012 were 38,469 as compared to 39,013 Operating Days in 2011, representing a decrease of 1%.
