Impairment
Oil prices declined significantly in March 2020 as a result of geopolitical events that increased the supply of oil in the market as well as effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of certain of its oilfield services assets were less than their carrying value. Therefore, the Company performed an interim impairment test. As a result of the test, the Company recorded the following impairments to its fixed assets during the first quarter of 2020 (in thousands):
Water transfer equipment $ 4,203 
Crude oil hauling equipment 3,275 
Coil tubing equipment 2,160 
Flowback equipment 1,514 
Rental equipment 1,308 
Other equipment 437 
Total impairment of other long-lived assets $ 12,897 

The Company measured the fair values of these assets using direct and indirect observable inputs (Level 2) based on a market approach. The Company did not record any impairment of other long-lived assets during the three or six months ended June 30, 2021.

Disposals
Proceeds from customers for horizontal and directional drilling services equipment damaged or lost down-hole are reflected in revenue with the carrying value of the related equipment charged to cost of service revenues and are reported as cash inflows from investing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, proceeds and gains from the sale of equipment damaged or lost down-hole were $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The Company did not have any proceeds or gains from the sale of equipment damaged or lost down-hole during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Proceeds from assets sold or disposed of as well as the carrying value of the related equipment are reflected in “other (expense) income, net” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, proceeds from the sale of equipment were $3.1 million, $4.6 million, $1.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and gains from the sale or disposal of equipment were $1.0 million, $1.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
