Bankruptcy Proceedings [Abstract] | |
Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern [Text Block] | Chapter 11 Proceedings Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 On April 29, 2016 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Our chapter 11 cases were jointly administered under the caption In re Ultra Petroleum Corp. , et al, Case No. 16-32202 (MI) (Bankr. S .D. Tex.). On February 21, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court approved our amended Disclosure Statement, on March 14, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed our Debtors’ Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), and on April 12, 2017 (th e “Effective Date”), we emerged from bankruptcy. As a result of our improved financial condition and successful emergence from chapter 11, we believe we now have sufficient liquidity to fund our future cash requirements for operations, capital expenditure s and working capital purposes. As a result, substantial doubt no longer exists regarding the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Because we emerged from b ankruptcy during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and because we continue our work to reconcile, resolve and pay certain prepetition claims asserted against us during our chapter 11 cases, certain aspects of our chapter 11 cases are described below to provi de context to our financial condition and results of operations for the period presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Information about our chapter 11 cases is available at a website maintained by our claims agent, Epiq Systems ( HYPERLINK "http://dm.epiq11.com/UPT/Docket" http://dm.epiq11.com/UPT/Docket ). In addition, because our operations and ability to execute our business remain subject to various risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties related to our chapter 11 cases, readers are encouraged to review and consider the items described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this report. Plan Support Agreement, Rights Offering, Backstop Commitment Agreement and Exit Financing Commitment Letter As previously disclosed: On November 21, 2016, we entered into a Plan Support Agreement (as amended, the “PSA”) with certain holders of the Company’s prepetition indebtedness and outstanding common stock as well as a Backstop Commitment Agreement (“BCA”). Pursuant to the BCA, we a greed to conduct a rights offering for new common stock in the Company to be issued upon the effectiveness of the Plan for an aggregate purchase price of $580.0 million (the “Rights Offering”). On February 8, 2017, we entered into a commitment letter with Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) (as amended, the “Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which, in connection with the consummation of the Plan, Barclays agreed to provide us with secured and unsecured financings in an aggregate amount of up to $2.4 billion ( the “Debt Financings”). On the Effective Date, the principal obligations outstanding of $ 999.0 million under the Prepetition Credit Agreement and $ 1.46 billion under the Prepetition Senior Notes, as well as prepetition interest and other undisputed amounts, were paid in full. The Company’s obligations under the Prepetition Credit Agreement and the Prepetition Senior Notes were cancelled and extinguished as provided in the Plan. On the Effective Date, the claims of $ 450.0 million related to the unsecured 2018 Notes and $ 850.0 million related to the unsecured 2024 Notes were allowed in full, each holder of a claim related to the 2018 Notes and the 2024 Notes received a distribution of common stock in the amount of the holders’ applicable claim, and the Company’s obligations und er the 2018 Notes and the 2024 Notes were cancelled and extinguished as provided in the Plan. On the Effective Date, we consummated the Rights Offering and the Debt Financings and, as noted above, emerged from bankruptcy . Fresh Start Accounting As previously disclosed, we are not required to apply fresh start accounting to our financial statements in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy because the reorganization value of our assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan exceeded our aggregate postpetition liabilities and allowed claims. Liabilities Subject to Compromise The following table reconciles the settlement of liabilities subject to compromise included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets f r om December 31, 2016 through the six months ended June 30, 2017 : June 30, 2017 Liabilities subject to compromise at December 31, 2016 $ 4,038,041 Debt extinguishment - cash (2,521,493) Debt extinguishment - non-cash (1,339,740) Contract settlement (17,350) Reclassified to accrued liabilities (159,458) Liabilities subject to compromise at June 30, 2017 $ - Bankruptcy Claims Resolution Process The claims filed against us during our chapter 11 proceedings are voluminous. In addition, claimants may file amended or modified claims in the future, which modifications or amendments may be material. The claims resolution process is on-going, and the ultimate number and amount of prepetition claims is not presently known, nor can the ultimate recovery with respect to allowed claims be presently ascertained. As a part of the claims resolution process, we are working to resolve differences between amounts we listed in information filed during our bankruptcy proceedings and the amounts of claims filed by our creditors. We have filed, and we will continue to file , objections with the Bankruptcy Court as necessary with respect to claims we believe should be disallowed. Costs of Reorganization We have incurred significant costs associated with our reorganization and the chapter 11 proceedings. We expect these cost s, which are being expensed as incurred, have affected and may continue to significantly affect our results of operations. For additional information about the costs of our reorganization and chapter 11 proceedings, see “Reorganization items, net” below. The following table summarizes the components included in Reorganization items, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 : For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 June 30, 2016 June 30, 2017 June 30, 2016 Professional fees(1) $ (4,313) $ (3,582) $ (62,004) $ (3,582) Gains (losses)(2) 431,107 - 431,107 - Deferred financing costs - (18,742) - (18,742) Other(3) 22 141 167 141 Total Reorganization items, net $ 426,816 $ (22,183) $ 369,270 $ (22,183) (1) The six months ended June 30, 2017 includes $ 23.0 million directly related to accrued, unpaid professional fees associated with the chapter 11 filings.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The accompanying financial statements, other than the balance sheet data as of December 31, 2016 , are unaudited and were prepared from the Company’s records, but do not include all disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Balance sheet data as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature unless specifically noted. The Company prepared these statements on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual aud ited statements and Regulation S-X. Regulation S-X allows the Company to omit some of the footnote and policy disclosures required by GAAP and normally included in annual reports on Form 10-K. You should read these interim financial statements together wit h the financial statements, summary of significant accounting policies and notes to the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K. ( a) Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the account s of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company presents its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company con siders all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. (c) Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents the funds we deposited in the $ 400.0 million reserve account, pending resolution of make-whole and post-petition interest claims (the “Reserve Fund”) , as described in Note 8, funds we deposited in the $ 35.0 million reserve account for the purpose of paying allowed and unpaid professional fees under the Plan agreement, and cash received by the Company from production sold where the final division of ownership of the production is unknown or in dispute. (d) Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of write-offs and an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The carrying a mount of the Company’s accounts receivable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company routinely assesses the collectability of all material trade and other receivables. (e) Property, Plant and Equipment: Capi tal assets are recorded at cost and depreciated using the declining-balance method based on their respective useful life. ( f ) Oil and N atural G as P roperties: The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities a s defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Release No. 33-8995, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting Requirements (“SEC Release No. 33-8995”) and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Top ic 932, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas (“FASB ASC 932”) . Under this method of accounting, the costs of unsuccessful, as well as successful, exploration and development activities are capitalized as oil and gas properties. This includes any internal co sts that are directly related to exploration and development activities but does not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. The carrying amount of oil and natural gas properties also includes estimated as set retirement costs recorded based on the fair value of the asset retirement obligation when incurred. Gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties is not recognized, unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and natural gas attributable to a country. The sum of net capitalized costs and estimated future development costs of oil and natural gas properties are amortized using the units-of-produ ction method based on the Company’s proved reserves. Oil and natural gas reserves and production are converted into equivalent units based on relative energy content. Asset retirement costs are included in the base costs for calculating depletion. Under the full cost method, costs of unevaluated properties and major development projects expected to require significant future costs may be excluded from capitalized costs being amortized. The Company excludes significant costs until proved reserves are found or until it is determined that the costs are impaired. The Company reviews its unproved leasehold costs quarterly or when management determines that events or circumstances indicate that the recorded carrying value of the unevaluated properties may not be recoverable. The fair values of unproved properties are evaluated utilizing a discounted net cash flows model based on management’s assumptions of future oil and gas production, commodity prices, operating and development costs, as well as appropriate dis count rates. The estimated prices used in the cash flow analysis are determined by management based on forward price curves for the related commodities, adjusted for average historical location and quality differentials. Estimates of cash flows related to probable and possible reserves are reduced by additional risk-weighting factors. The amount of any impairment is transferred to the capitalized costs being amortized. Companies that use the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas exploratio n and development activities are required to perform a ceiling test calculation each quarter. The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The ceiling test is performed quarterly, on a country-by-country basi s, utilizing the average of prices in effect on the first day of the month for the preceding twelve month period in accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8995. The ceiling limits such pooled costs to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues a ttributable to proved crude oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10%, plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties, less any associated tax effects. If such capitalized costs exceed the ceiling, the Company will record a write-down t o the extent of such excess as a non-cash charge to earnings. Any such write-down will reduce earnings in the period of occurrence and results in a lower depletion, depreciation and amortization (“DD&A”) rate in future periods. A write-down may not be reve rsed in future periods even though higher oil and natural gas prices may subsequently increase the ceiling. The Company did not incur a ceiling test write-down for the six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016 . (g) Inventories: At June 30, 2017 and 2016 , inventory of $7.5 million and $ 4.1 million, respectively, primarily includes the cost of pipe and production equipment that will be utilized during the 2017 drilling program and crude oil inventory. Materials and supplies inventories are carried at lower of cost or market and include expenditures and other charges directly and indirectly incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location. Selling expenses and general and administrative expe nses are reported as period costs and excluded from inventory cost. The Company uses the weighted average method of recording its materials and supplies inventory. Crude oil inventory is valued at lower of cost or market. (h) Deferred Financing Costs: The Company follows ASU No. 2015-3, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs and includes the costs for issuing debt including issuance discounts, except those related to the revolving credit facility, as a direct d eduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability . Costs related to the issuance of the revolving credit facility are recorded as an asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. (i) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Act ivities: The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“FASB ASC 815”). The Company records the fair value of its commodity derivatives as an asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and records the changes in the fair val ue of its commodity derivatives in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not offset the value of its derivative arrangements with the same counterparty. (See Note 6 for more information). (j) Income Taxes: Income taxes are acc ounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their re spective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than n ot” criteria described in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. In addition, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position follo wing an audit. (k) Equity Interests: In accordance with the Plan, each of the Company’s equity interests outstanding prior to the Effective Date were cancelled and each such equity interest has no further force or effect after the Effective Date. Pursuant to the Plan, the holders of the Company’s common shares outstanding prior to the Effective Date (the “Existing Common Shares”) received (i) their proportionate distribution of New Equity and (ii) the right to participate in the Rights Offering. The holder s of all other equity interests in the Company received no distribution under the Plan in respect thereof. (l) Earnings (Loss) Per Share: Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by t he weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by adjusting the average number of common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect. In conjunction with our emergence from chapter 11, on April 12, 2017, the Company issued shares of New Equity to holders of Existing Common Shares at a conversion ratio of 0.521562. As a r esult, the basic and fully diluted share counts have been presented to reflect this conversion as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2016. Share based payments subject to performance or market conditions are considered contingently issuable shares for pu rposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. Thus, they are not included in the diluted earnings per share denominator until the performance or market criteria are met. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company had 4.2 million contingently issuable shares that are not included in the diluted earnings per share denominator as the performance or market criteria have not been met (See Note 4). There were no contingently issuable shares outstan ding for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 . Three Months Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 (Share amounts in 000's) Net income (loss) $ 499,037 $ 14,002 $ 409,338 $ (7,832) Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 180,964 80,002 130,770 79,984 Effect of dilutive instruments 69 331 308 - Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 181,033 80,333 131,078 79,984 Net income (loss) per common share - basic $ 2.76 $ 0.18 $ 3.13 $ (0.10) Net income (loss) per common share - diluted $ 2.76 $ 0.17 $ 3.12 $ (0.10) Number of shares not included in dilutive earnings per share that would have been anti-dilutive because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares (1) - 749 - - (1) Due to the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016, 0.8 million shares for options and restricted stock units were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of net loss per share. (m ) Use of Estimates: Preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (n ) Share-Based Compensation: The Company measures and recognizes compe nsation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ( o ) Fair Value Accounting: The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“FASB ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement appli es under other accounting topics that require or permit fair value measurements. See Note 7 for additional information. ( p ) Asset Retirement Obligation: The initial estimated retirement obligation of properties is recognized as a liability with an as sociated increase in oil and gas properties for the asset retirement cost. Accretion expense is recognized over the estimated productive life of the related assets. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is re corded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. Revisions in estimated liabilities can result from revisions of estimated inflation rates, changes in service and equipment costs and changes in the estimated timing of settling asset retirement obligations. As a full cost company, settlements for asset retirement obligations for abandonment are adjusted to the full cost pool. The asset retirement obligation is included within other long-term obligations in the accompanying Conso lidated Balance Sheets. (q ) Revenue Recognition: The Company generally sells oil and natural gas under both long-term and short-term agreements at prevailing market prices. The Company recognizes revenues when the oil and natural gas is delivered, whic h occurs when the customer has taken title and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership, prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company accounts for oil and natural gas sales using the “entitlements method.” Un der the entitlements method, revenue is recorded based upon the Company’s ownership share of volumes sold, regardless of whether it has taken its ownership share of such volumes. Any amount received in excess of the Company’s share is treated as a liabilit y. If the Company receives less than its entitled share, the underproduction is recorded as a receivable. Make-up provisions and ultimate settlements of volume imbalances are generally governed by agreements between the Company and its partners with respe ct to specific properties or, in the absence of such agreements, through negotiation. The value of volumes over- or under-produced can change based on changes in commodity prices. The Company prefers the entitlements method of accounting for oil and natura l gas sales because it allows for recognition of revenue based on its actual share of jointly owned production, results in better matching of revenue with related operating expenses, and provides balance sheet recognition of the estimated value of product imbalances. The Company’s imbalance obligations as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were immaterial. (r ) Other rev e nues : Other revenues are comprised of fees paid to us by the operators of the gas processing plants where our gas is process ed in exchange for the liquids removed from our production. ( s) Capital Cost Accrual: The Company accrues for exploration and development costs in the period incurred, while payment may occur in a subsequent period. ( t) Reclassifications: Certain amount s in the financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. ( u) Deposits and Retainers : Deposits and retainers primarily consist of payments related to surety bonds. ( v) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU No. 2016-18”). The guidance requires that an explanation is included in the cash flow statement of the change in the total of (1) cash, (2) cash equivalents, and (3) restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. ASU No. 2016-18 also clarifies that transfers between cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should not be reported as cash flow activities and requires the nature of the restrictions on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents to be disclosed. For public companies, the standard will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning af ter December 15, 2017 with earlier application permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-18 on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) (“ASU No. 20 16-15”). The guidance requires that debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, including third-party costs, premiums paid, and other fees paid to lenders, be classified as cash outflows for financing activities. For public companies, the standard will t ake effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 with earlier application permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated fina ncial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU No. 2016-02”). The guidance requires that lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The ASU will also require disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitativ e information. For public companies, the standard will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with earlier application permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements . In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and in 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Age nt Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) , and ASU 2016-10, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recog nition, and industry-specific guidance in Subtopic 932-605, Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas-Revenue Recognition. The new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on our financial position and results of operations. As part of our assessment work to date, we have completed training of the new ASU’s revenue recognition model, dedicated resources to its implementation, and initiated contract review and documentation; including analyzing the standard’s impact on our con tract portfolio, comparing historical accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard, and identifying differences from applying the requirements of the new standards to our contracts. We are evaluating the expanded disclosure re quirements under the new standard and are also reviewing our processes, systems, and internal controls over financial reporting to ensure the appropriate information will be available for these disclosures. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the most significant impacts relate to principal versus agent considerations and the use of the entitlements method for oil and natural gas sales, both of which are continuing to be evaluated by the Company. T he Company is required to adopt the new standards in the first quarter of 2018 using one of two application methods: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of init ially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). The Company currently anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method . |

Ultra Resources, Inc. Credit Agreement. On April 12, 2017, Ultra Resources, Inc. (“ Ultra Resources ”), as a borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement with the Company and UP Energy Corporation, as parent guarantors, Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (as amended, the “RBL Credit Agreement”), providing for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Term Loan Facility (defined below), the “Credit Facilities”) for an aggre gate amount of $400.0 million. At June 30, 2017 , Ultra Resources had $77.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the RBL Credit Agreement. The initial borrowing base (which limits the aggregate amount of first lien debt under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility) is $1.2 billion and there are no scheduled borrowing base redeterminations until October 1, 2017. The Revolving Credit Facility has capacity for Ultra Resources to increase the commitments subject to certain con ditions, and has $50.0 million of the commitments available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest either at a rate equal to (a) a customary London interbank offered rate plus an applicable margin that varies fr om 250 to 350 basis points or (b) the base rate plus an applicable margin that varies from 150 to 250 basis points. The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2017 was 3.93 %. The Revolving Credit Facility loans mature on January 12, 2022. The R BL Credit Agreement requires Ultra Resources to maintain (i) an interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 ; (ii) a current ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 ; (iii) a consolidated net leverage ratio of (A) 4.25 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending on or before December 31, 2017 and (B) 4.00 to 1.00, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter thereafter; and (iv) after the Company has obtained investment grade rating an asset coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00 . At June 30, 2017 , Ultra Resources was in com pliance with all of its debt covenants under the RBL Credit Agreement. Ultra Resources is required to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which varies based upon a borrowing base utilization grid. Ultr a Resources is also required to pay customary letter of credit and fronting fees. The RBL Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, as to compliance with laws (including environmental laws, ERISA and anti-corruption laws), delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and oil and gas engineering reports, maintenance and operation of property (including oil and gas properties), restrictions on the incurrence of liens, indebtedness, as set dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments, hedging requirements and other customary covenants. The RBL Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and remedies for credit facilities of this nature. If Ultra Resources does not co mply with the financial and other covenants in the RBL Credit Agreement, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the RBL Credit Agreement and any outstanding unfunded commitments may be terminated. Term Loan. On April 12, 2017 , Ultra Resources, as borrower, entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement with the Company and UP Energy Corporation, as parent guarantors, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and the other lenders p arty thereto (the “Term Loan Agreement”), providing for senior secured first lien term loans (the “Term Loan Facility”) for an aggregate amount of $ 800.0 million consisting of an initial term loan in the amount of $ 600.0 million and an incremental term loa n in the amount of $ 200.0 million to be drawn immediately after the funding of the initial term loan. As part of the Term Loan agreement, Ultra Resources agreed to pay an original issue discount equal to one percent of the principal amount. The original issue discount of $ 8.0 million is included in the deferred financing costs noted above and is a direct deduction from the carrying amount of long-term debt. The Term Loan Facility has capacity to increase the commitments subject to certain conditions. At June 30, 2017 , Ultra Resources had $ 800.00 million in outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility bears interest either at a rate equal to (a) a customary London interbank offered rate plus 300 basis points or (b) the base rate plus 200 basis points. The Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount beginning on June 30, 2019. The Term Loan Facility matures seven years after the Effective Date. The Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments and customary reinvestment rights. The mandatory prepayments include, without limitation, a prepayment requirement with the total net proceeds from certain asset sales a nd net proceeds on insurance received on account of any loss of Ultra Resources ’ property or assets, in each case subject to certain exceptions. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, there is a prepayment requirement if the asset coverage ratio is le ss than 2.0 to 1.0. To the extent any mandatory prepayments are required, prepayments are applied to prepay the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including as to compliance with laws (i ncluding environmental laws, ERISA and anti-corruption laws), delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and oil and gas engineering reports, maintenance and operation of property (including oil and gas properties), restrictions on the incurrenc e of liens, indebtedness, asset dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments and other customary covenants. At June 30, 2017 , Ultra Resources was in compliance with all of its debt covenants under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Agreement contains customary events of default and remedies for credit facilities of this nature. If Ultra Resources does not comply with the financial and other covenants in the Term Loan Agreement, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement. Senior Notes . On April 12, 2017, the Company issued $700.0 million of its 6.875% senior notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) and $500.0 million of its 7.125% senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes,” and together with the 2022 Notes, the “Notes”) and entered into an Indenture, dated April 12, 2017 (the “Indenture”), among Ultra Resources, as issuer, the Company and its subsidiaries, as guarantors.

The 2025 Notes will mature on April 15, 2025. The interest payment dates for the 2025 Notes are April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2017. Interest will be paid on the Notes from the issue date until maturity . Pr ior to April 15, 2019, Ultra Resources may, at any time or from time to time, redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes in an amount no greater than the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redempti on price of 106.875% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, if at least 65% of the original principal amount of the 2022 Notes remains outstanding and the redemption occurs within 180 days of the closing of such equity offering. In addition, before April 15, 2019, Ultra Resources may redeem all or a part of the 2022 Notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) a make-whole premium at the r edemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, on or after April 15, 2019, Ultra Resources may redeem all or a part of the 2022 Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 103.438% for the twelve-month period beginning on April 15, 2019, 101.719% for the twelve-month period beginning April 15, 2020, and 100.000% for the twelve-month period beginning April 15, 2021 and at any time thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid intere st, if any, to the applicable redemption date on the 2022 Notes.

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION: Valuation and Expense Information Three Months Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Total cost of share-based payment plans $ 34,679 $ 1,322 $ 35,890 $ 4,050 Amounts capitalized in oil and gas properties and equipment $ 9,266 $ 415 $ 9,626 $ 1,346 Amounts charged against income, before income tax benefit $ 25,413 $ 907 $ 26,264 $ 2,704 Amount of related income tax benefit recognized in income before valuation allowance $ 10,114 $ 361 $ 10,453 $ 1,076 Changes in Stock Options and Stock Options Outstanding As provided in the Plan, all plans or programs calling for stock grants, stock issuances, stock reserves or stock options were cancelled as of the Effective Date and all outstanding awards established prior to the Effective Date were cancelled and extinguished as of the Effective Date . The following table summarizes the changes in stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 : Weighted Number of Average Options Exercise Price (000's) (US Dollars) Balance, December 31, 2015 271 $ 94.04 to $ 189.57 Cancelled or Extinguished (90) $ 96.15 to $ 144.14 Balance, December 31, 2016 181 $ 94.04 to $ 189.57 Cancelled or Extinguished (181) $ 94.04 to $ 144.14 Balance, June 30, 2017 - $ 0.00 to $ 0.00 Performance Share Plans : 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. On the Effective Date, the Ultra Petroleum Corp. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan was established pursuant to which 7.5 % of the equity in the reorganized Company (on a fully-diluted/fully-distributed basis) is reserved for grants to be made from time to time to the directors, officers, and other employees of the reorganized Company (“the Reserve”). Also on the Effective Da te, 40 % of the Reserve (“ Initial MIP Grants” ) was granted to members of the board of directors, officers, and other employees of the reorganized Company subject to the conditions and performance requirements provided in the grants, including the limitation s that one-third of the Initial MIP Grants will vest, if at all, at such time when the total enterprise value of the Company equals or exceeds $6.0 billion based upon the volume weighted average price of the common stock during a consecutive 30-day period, that one-third of the Initial MIP Grants will vest, if at all, at such time when the total enterprise value of the Company equals or exceeds 110% of $6.0 billion based upon the volume weighted average price of the common stock during a consecutive 30-day period, and that if any Initial MIP Grants do not vest before the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, such Initial MIP Grants shall automatically expire. The balance of the Reserve is available to be granted by the Board from time to time. Stock-Based Compensation Cost : Modification. On the Effective Date, as provided in the Plan, all outstanding awards established prior to the Effective Date were cancelled and extinguished, and participants received no payment or other distribution on account of the outstanding awards. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation Cost – Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC 718”), the cancellation of an outstanding award of stock based compensation followed by the issuance of a replacement award is treated as a modif ication of the original award. The equity award cancellations and subsequent new grants by the Company were considered Type I, probable to probable modification. This type represents modifications where the award was likely to vest prior to modification an d is still likely to vest after modification. For these types of modifications, the fair value of the award is assessed both prior to modification and after modification. If the fair value after modification exceeds the fair value prior to modification, in cremental expense is generated and recognized over the remaining vesting period. Market-Based Condition Awards. When vesting of an award of stock-based compensation is dependent, at least in part, on the value of a company’s total equity, for purposes of FASB ASC 718 , the award is considered to be subject to a “market condition”. Because the Company’s total equity value is a component of its enterprise value, the awards based on enterprise value are considered to be subject to a market condition. Unlike th e valuation of an award that is subject to a service condition (i.e., time vested awards) or a performance condition that is not related to stock price, FASB ASC 718 requires the impact of the market condition to be considered when estimating the fair valu e of the award. As a result, we have used a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the awards that include a market condition . FASB ASC 718 requires the expense for an award of stock based compensation that is subject to a market cond ition that can be attained at any point during the performance period to be recognized over the shorter of (a) the period between the date of grant and the date the market condition is attained, and (b) award’s derived service period. For purposes of FASB ASC 718 , the derived service period represents the duration of the median of the distribution of share price paths on which the market condition is satisfied. That median is the middle share price path (the midpoint of the distribution of paths) on which t he market condition is satisfied. The duration is the period of time from the service inception date to the expected date of market condition satisfaction. Compensation expense is recognized regardless of whether the market condition is actually satisfied. Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recognized $26.3 million in pre-tax compensation expense, of which $25.2 million related to the Initial MIP Grants. D uring the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company recognized $2.2 million related to the 2014 and 2015 LTIP awards of restricted stock units. The Company expects the total expense associated with the portion of the Initial MIP Grant that vests if the $ 6.0 bil lion total enterprise value performance requirement is satisfied to be $22.1 million and the portion of the Initial MIP grant that vests if the $ 6.6 billion total enterprise value performance requirement is satisfied to be $20.1 million, respectively. One-third of the Initial MIP Grants were paid in shares of the Company’s stock to members of its board of directors as well as its officers and other employees during the second quarter and totaled $25.8 million ( 1,207,111 shares), of which a portion was capitalized in oil and gas properties and equipment as noted in the valuation and expense information above. |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Tax Disclosure | 5. INCOME TAXES: The Company’s overall effective tax rate on pre-tax income was different than the statutory rate of 35 % due primarily to valuation allowances. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2017 . Some or all of this valuation allowance may be reversed in future periods against future income. The reorganization of the Company is considered to have resulted in a change of control for U.S. Income Tax purposes under IRC Section 382. However, pursuant to the special rules under IRC Section 382(h), the Company’s U.S. tax attributes, including its Net Operating Loss (NOL), is not expected to be subject to significant limitations due to the change of control. |

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure | 6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Objectives and Strategy: The Company’s major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to its natural gas and oil production. Realized pricing is currently driven primarily by the prevailing price for the Company’s natural gas production. Historically, prices received for natural gas production have been volatile and unpredictable. Pricing volatility is expected to continue. As a result of its hedging activities, the Company may realize prices that are less than or greater than the spot prices that it would have received otherwise. The Company relies on various types of derivative instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk and to provide a level of certainty in the Company’s forward cas h flows supporting the Company’s capital investment program. The Company’s hedging policy limits the amounts of resources hedged to not more than 50% of its forecast production without Board approval. Fair Value of Commodity Derivatives: FASB ASC 815 re quires that all derivatives be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either an asset or liability and be measured at fair value. Changes in the derivative’s fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteri a are met. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivative instruments. Derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded as derivative assets and liabilities at fair value on the Consolidated Balan ce Sheets and the associated unrealized gains and losses are recorded as current income or expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives represent the non-cash change in the fair value of these de rivative instruments and do not impact operating cash flows on the cash flow statement. Commodity Derivative Contracts: At June 30, 2017 , the Company had the following open commodity derivative contracts to manage price risk on a portion of its production whereby the Company receives the fixed price for the contract a nd pays the variable price to the counterparty. The reference prices of these commodity derivative contracts are typically referenced to index prices as published by independent third parties . Natural Gas: Type Commodity Reference Price Remaining Contract Period Volume - MMBTU/Day Average Price /MMBTU Fair Value - June 30, 2017 Asset Fixed price swap NYMEX-Henry Hub July - Oct 2017 575,000 $3.17 $ 8,367 The following table summarizes the pre-tax realized and unrealized (loss) gain the Company recognized related to its derivative instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 : For the Three Months For the Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, Commodity Derivatives : 2017 2016 2017 2016 Realized loss on commodity derivatives-natural gas (1) $ (868) $ - $ (868) $ - Unrealized gain on commodity derivatives (1) 21,585 - 8,367 - Total gain on commodity derivatives $ 20,717 $ - $ 7,499 $ - (1) Included in gain on commodity derivatives in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The realized gain or loss on commodity derivatives relates to actual amounts received or paid or to be received or paid under the Company’s derivative contracts and t he unrealized gain or loss on commodity derivatives represents the change in the fair value of these derivative instruments over the remaining term of the contract. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures | 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: As required by FASB ASC 820, the Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a three level hierarchy for measuring fair value. Fair value meas urements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: Level 1 : Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 : Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilit ies in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 include non-exchange traded d erivatives such as over-the-counter forwards and swaps. Level 3 : Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including situations where there is little, if a ny, market activity for the asset or liability . Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Current derivative asset $ - $ 8,367 $ - $ 8,367 Fair Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of financial instruments is the estimated amount at which the instrument could be exchanged currently between willing parties. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company uses available market data and valuation methodologies to estimate the fair value of its debt. The valuation assumptions utilized to measure the fair value of the Company’s debt are considered Level 2 inputs. This disclosure is presented in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, and does n ot impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure | 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: The Plan provides for the treatment of claims against our bankruptcy estates, including claims for prepetition liabilities that have not otherwise been satisfied or addressed before we emerged from chapter 11. As noted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the claims resolution process associated with our chapter 11 proceedings is on-going, and we expect it to continue for an indefinite period of time . Pending Claims – Ultra Resources Indebtedness Our chapter 11 filings constituted events of default under Ultra Resources’ prepetition debt agreements. During our bankruptcy proceedings, many holders of this indebtedness filed proofs of claim with the Bankruptcy Court, asserting claims for the outstanding balance of the indebtedness, unpaid prepetition interest dates, unpaid postpetition interest (including interest at the default rates under the debt agreements), make-whole amounts, and other fees and obligations allegedly arising under the debt agreements. As previ ously disclosed, in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with the Plan, all of our obligations with respect to the Ultra Resources prepetition indebtedness and the associated debt agreements were cancelled, except to the limited extent expressly set forth in the Plan, and the holders of claims related to the indebtedness received payment in full of allowed claims (including with respect to outstanding principal, unpaid prepetition interest, and certain other prepetition fees and o bligations arising under the debt agreements). Following our emergence from bankruptcy, we have continued to dispute the claims made by holders of the Ultra Resources’ indebtedness for certain make-whole amounts and postpetition interest at the default rat es provided for in the debt agreements. An oral argument related to this dispute was conducted in the Bankruptcy Court on May 16, 2017, and we and the claim holders have each filed various briefs and other pleadings before and after the May 16 hearing. In connection with confirmation and consummation of the Plan we entered into a stipulation with the claimants pursuant to which we agreed to establish and fund a $400.0 million reserve account after the Effective Date, pending resolution of make-whole and pos t-petition interest claims. On April 14, 2017, we funded the account. At this time, we are not able to determine the likelihood or range of amounts attributable to claims for postpetition interest, make-whole amounts, or other fees and obligations under th e debt agreements. Rockies Express Pipeline During our chapter 11 proceedings, Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (“REX”) filed a claim against us for $303.3 million related to our prepetition transportation agreement for service on the Rockies Express Pipeli ne. As previously disclosed, on January 12, 2017 we entered into a settlement agreement with REX pursuant to which we made a cash payment to REX of $150.0 million on July 12, 2017 (see Note 9). Royalties On April 19, 2016, we received a preliminary dete rmination notice from the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (“ONRR”) asserting that our allocation of certain processing costs and plant fuel use at certain processing plants were impermissibly charged as deductions in the determination of royalties owed under Federal oil and gas leases. We dispute the preliminary determination and raised, with ONRR, several matters we believed may not have been considered in the preliminary determination notice. ONRR filed a proof of claim in our bankruptcy proceedings asserting approximately $35.1 million in claims attributable to these royalty calculations. This claim and the preliminary determination notice could ultimately result in us being ordered to pay additional royalty to ONRR for prior, current and future per iods. We are not able to determine the likelihood or range of any additional royalties or, if and when assessed, whether such amounts would be material. Oil Sales Contract On April 29, 2016, we received a letter from counsel to Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals L.P. (“SPMT”) asserting that (1) we had breached, by anticipatory repudiation, a contract for the purchase and sale of crude oil between Ultra Resources and SPMT and (2) the contract was terminated. In the letter, SPMT demanded payment for dam ages resulting from the breach in the amount of $38.6 million. On August 31, 2016, SPMT filed a proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court for $16.9 million. On December 13, 2016, we filed an objection to SPMT’s proof of claim, and on December 14, 2016, we f iled an adversary proceeding against SPMT related to its breach of the contract during the prepetition period (as amended, the “Sunoco Adversary”) . In its April 25, 2017 reply to the Sunoco Adversary complaint, Sunoco asserted a counterclaim for matters a ddressed in its proof of claim. Both parties are currently conducting discovery. At this time, we are not able to determine the likelihood or range of damages owed to SPMT, if any, related to this matter, or, if and when such amounts are assessed, whether such amounts would be material. We anticipate SPMT’s claims will be resolved in connection with our chapter 11 proceedings. Other Claims The Company is party to lawsuits related to disputes with respect to overriding royalty and other interests in certa in of our operated leases in Pinedale, Wyoming. At this time, no determination of the outcome of these claims can be made, or, if such claims are determined, whether any amounts related to these matters would be material . We are defending these cases vigor ously, and we expect these claims to be resolved in our chapter 11 proceedings. The Company is also currently involved in various routine disputes and allegations incidental to its business operations. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate dis position of these matters, the Company believes that the resolution of all such pending or threatened litigation is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. |

Schedule of Subsequent Events | 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: The Company has evaluated the period subsequent to June 30, 2017 for events that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date and determined that no subsequent events arose that should be disclosed in order to keep the financial statements from being misleading, except as set forth below. As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 17, 2017, we reached an agreement to settle REX ’s $303. 3 million breach of cont ract claim. T he settlement include d a payment of $150.0 million to REX after the Company emerge d from chapter 11 .

Statement Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation | ( a) Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the account s of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company presents its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company con siders all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
Restricted Cash | (c) Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents the funds we deposited in the $ 400.0 million reserve account, pending resolution of make-whole and post-petition interest claims (the “Reserve Fund”) , as described in Note 8, funds we deposited in the $ 35.0 million reserve account for the purpose of paying allowed and unpaid professional fees under the Plan agreement, and cash received by the Company from production sold where the final division of ownership of the production is unknown or in dispute. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU No. 2016-18”). The guidance requires that an explanation is included in the cash flow statement of the change in the total of (1) cash, (2) cash equivalents, and (3) restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. ASU No. 2016-18 also clarifies that transfers between cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should not be reported as cash flow activities and requires the nature of the restrictions on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents to be disclosed. For public companies, the standard will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning af ter December 15, 2017 with earlier application permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-18 on its consolidated financial statements. |
Accounts Receivable | (d) Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of write-offs and an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The carrying a mount of the Company’s accounts receivable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company routinely assesses the collectability of all material trade and other receivables. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | (e) Property, Plant and Equipment: Capi tal assets are recorded at cost and depreciated using the declining-balance method based on their respective useful life. |
Oil and natural gas properties | ( f ) Oil and N atural G as P roperties: The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities a s defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Release No. 33-8995, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting Requirements (“SEC Release No. 33-8995”) and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Top ic 932, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas (“FASB ASC 932”) . Under this method of accounting, the costs of unsuccessful, as well as successful, exploration and development activities are capitalized as oil and gas properties. This includes any internal co sts that are directly related to exploration and development activities but does not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. The carrying amount of oil and natural gas properties also includes estimated as set retirement costs recorded based on the fair value of the asset retirement obligation when incurred. Gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties is not recognized, unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and natural gas attributable to a country. The sum of net capitalized costs and estimated future development costs of oil and natural gas properties are amortized using the units-of-produ ction method based on the Company’s proved reserves. Oil and natural gas reserves and production are converted into equivalent units based on relative energy content. Asset retirement costs are included in the base costs for calculating depletion. Under the full cost method, costs of unevaluated properties and major development projects expected to require significant future costs may be excluded from capitalized costs being amortized. The Company excludes significant costs until proved reserves are found or until it is determined that the costs are impaired. The Company reviews its unproved leasehold costs quarterly or when management determines that events or circumstances indicate that the recorded carrying value of the unevaluated properties may not be recoverable. The fair values of unproved properties are evaluated utilizing a discounted net cash flows model based on management’s assumptions of future oil and gas production, commodity prices, operating and development costs, as well as appropriate dis count rates. The estimated prices used in the cash flow analysis are determined by management based on forward price curves for the related commodities, adjusted for average historical location and quality differentials. Estimates of cash flows related to probable and possible reserves are reduced by additional risk-weighting factors. The amount of any impairment is transferred to the capitalized costs being amortized. Companies that use the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas exploratio n and development activities are required to perform a ceiling test calculation each quarter. The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The ceiling test is performed quarterly, on a country-by-country basi s, utilizing the average of prices in effect on the first day of the month for the preceding twelve month period in accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8995. The ceiling limits such pooled costs to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues a ttributable to proved crude oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10%, plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties, less any associated tax effects. If such capitalized costs exceed the ceiling, the Company will record a write-down t o the extent of such excess as a non-cash charge to earnings. Any such write-down will reduce earnings in the period of occurrence and results in a lower depletion, depreciation and amortization (“DD&A”) rate in future periods. A write-down may not be reve rsed in future periods even though higher oil and natural gas prices may subsequently increase the ceiling. The Company did not incur a ceiling test write-down for the six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016 . |
Inventories | (g) Inventories: At June 30, 2017 and 2016 , inventory of $7.5 million and $ 4.1 million, respectively, primarily includes the cost of pipe and production equipment that will be utilized during the 2017 drilling program and crude oil inventory. Materials and supplies inventories are carried at lower of cost or market and include expenditures and other charges directly and indirectly incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location. Selling expenses and general and administrative expe nses are reported as period costs and excluded from inventory cost. The Company uses the weighted average method of recording its materials and supplies inventory. Crude oil inventory is valued at lower of cost or market. |
Deferred Financing Costs | (h) Deferred Financing Costs: The Company follows ASU No. 2015-3, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs and includes the costs for issuing debt including issuance discounts, except those related to the revolving credit facility, as a direct d eduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability . Costs related to the issuance of the revolving credit facility are recorded as an asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Derivatives Instruments | (i) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Act ivities: The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“FASB ASC 815”). The Company records the fair value of its commodity derivatives as an asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and records the changes in the fair val ue of its commodity derivatives in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not offset the value of its derivative arrangements with the same counterparty. (See Note 6 for more information). |
Income Taxes | (j) Income Taxes: Income taxes are acc ounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their re spective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than n ot” criteria described in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. In addition, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position follo wing an audit. |
Equity Interests | (k) Equity Interests: In accordance with the Plan, each of the Company’s equity interests outstanding prior to the Effective Date were cancelled and each such equity interest has no further force or effect after the Effective Date. Pursuant to the Plan, the holders of the Company’s common shares outstanding prior to the Effective Date (the “Existing Common Shares”) received (i) their proportionate distribution of New Equity and (ii) the right to participate in the Rights Offering. The holder s of all other equity interests in the Company received no distribution under the Plan in respect thereof. |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | (l) Earnings (Loss) Per Share: Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by t he weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by adjusting the average number of common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect. In conjunction with our emergence from chapter 11, on April 12, 2017, the Company issued shares of New Equity to holders of Existing Common Shares at a conversion ratio of 0.521562. As a r esult, the basic and fully diluted share counts have been presented to reflect this conversion as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2016. Share based payments subject to performance or market conditions are considered contingently issuable shares for pu rposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. Thus, they are not included in the diluted earnings per share denominator until the performance or market criteria are met. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company had 4.2 million contingently issuable shares that are not included in the diluted earnings per share denominator as the performance or market criteria have not been met (See Note 4). There were no contingently issuable shares outstan ding for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 . Three Months Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 (Share amounts in 000's) Net income (loss) $ 499,037 $ 14,002 $ 409,338 $ (7,832) Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 180,964 80,002 130,770 79,984 Effect of dilutive instruments 69 331 308 - Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 181,033 80,333 131,078 79,984 Net income (loss) per common share - basic $ 2.76 $ 0.18 $ 3.13 $ (0.10) Net income (loss) per common share - diluted $ 2.76 $ 0.17 $ 3.12 $ (0.10) Number of shares not included in dilutive earnings per share that would have been anti-dilutive because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares (1) - 749 - - (1) Due to the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016, 0.8 million shares for options and restricted stock units were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of net loss per share. |
Use of Estimates | (m ) Use of Estimates: Preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Accounting for Share-based Compensation | (n ) Share-Based Compensation: The Company measures and recognizes compe nsation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Stock-Based Compensation Cost : Modification. On the Effective Date, as provided in the Plan, all outstanding awards established prior to the Effective Date were cancelled and extinguished, and participants received no payment or other distribution on account of the outstanding awards. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation Cost – Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC 718”), the cancellation of an outstanding award of stock based compensation followed by the issuance of a replacement award is treated as a modif ication of the original award. The equity award cancellations and subsequent new grants by the Company were considered Type I, probable to probable modification. This type represents modifications where the award was likely to vest prior to modification an d is still likely to vest after modification. For these types of modifications, the fair value of the award is assessed both prior to modification and after modification. If the fair value after modification exceeds the fair value prior to modification, in cremental expense is generated and recognized over the remaining vesting period. Market-Based Condition Awards. When vesting of an award of stock-based compensation is dependent, at least in part, on the value of a company’s total equity, for purposes of FASB ASC 718 , the award is considered to be subject to a “market condition”. Because the Company’s total equity value is a component of its enterprise value, the awards based on enterprise value are considered to be subject to a market condition. Unlike th e valuation of an award that is subject to a service condition (i.e., time vested awards) or a performance condition that is not related to stock price, FASB ASC 718 requires the impact of the market condition to be considered when estimating the fair valu e of the award. As a result, we have used a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the awards that include a market condition . FASB ASC 718 requires the expense for an award of stock based compensation that is subject to a market cond ition that can be attained at any point during the performance period to be recognized over the shorter of (a) the period between the date of grant and the date the market condition is attained, and (b) award’s derived service period. For purposes of FASB ASC 718 , the derived service period represents the duration of the median of the distribution of share price paths on which the market condition is satisfied. That median is the middle share price path (the midpoint of the distribution of paths) on which t he market condition is satisfied. The duration is the period of time from the service inception date to the expected date of market condition satisfaction. Compensation expense is recognized regardless of whether the market condition is actually satisfied. |
Fair value accounting | ( o ) Fair Value Accounting: The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“FASB ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement appli es under other accounting topics that require or permit fair value measurements. See Note 7 for additional information. |
Asset Retirement Obligation | ( p ) Asset Retirement Obligation: The initial estimated retirement obligation of properties is recognized as a liability with an as sociated increase in oil and gas properties for the asset retirement cost. Accretion expense is recognized over the estimated productive life of the related assets. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is re corded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. Revisions in estimated liabilities can result from revisions of estimated inflation rates, changes in service and equipment costs and changes in the estimated timing of settling asset retirement obligations. As a full cost company, settlements for asset retirement obligations for abandonment are adjusted to the full cost pool. The asset retirement obligation is included within other long-term obligations in the accompanying Conso lidated Balance Sheets. |
Revenue Recognition | (q ) Revenue Recognition: The Company generally sells oil and natural gas under both long-term and short-term agreements at prevailing market prices. The Company recognizes revenues when the oil and natural gas is delivered, whic h occurs when the customer has taken title and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership, prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company accounts for oil and natural gas sales using the “entitlements method.” Un der the entitlements method, revenue is recorded based upon the Company’s ownership share of volumes sold, regardless of whether it has taken its ownership share of such volumes. Any amount received in excess of the Company’s share is treated as a liabilit y. If the Company receives less than its entitled share, the underproduction is recorded as a receivable. Make-up provisions and ultimate settlements of volume imbalances are generally governed by agreements between the Company and its partners with respe ct to specific properties or, in the absence of such agreements, through negotiation. The value of volumes over- or under-produced can change based on changes in commodity prices. The Company prefers the entitlements method of accounting for oil and natura l gas sales because it allows for recognition of revenue based on its actual share of jointly owned production, results in better matching of revenue with related operating expenses, and provides balance sheet recognition of the estimated value of product imbalances. The Company’s imbalance obligations as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were immaterial. (r ) Other rev e nues : Other revenues are comprised of fees paid to us by the operators of the gas processing plants where our gas is process ed in exchange for the liquids removed from our production. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and in 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Age nt Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) , and ASU 2016-10, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recog nition, and industry-specific guidance in Subtopic 932-605, Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas-Revenue Recognition. The new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. |
Capital Cost Accrual | ( s) Capital Cost Accrual: The Company accrues for exploration and development costs in the period incurred, while payment may occur in a subsequent period. |
Reclassifications | ( t) Reclassifications: Certain amount s in the financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. |
Leases | In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU No. 2016-02”). The guidance requires that lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The ASU will also require disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitativ e information. For public companies, the standard will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with earlier application permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements . |
Deposits And Retainers | ( u) Deposits and Retainers : Deposits and retainers primarily consist of payments related to surety bonds. |
Debt prepayment | In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) (“ASU No. 20 16-15”). The guidance requires that debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, including third-party costs, premiums paid, and other fees paid to lenders, be classified as cash outflows for financing activities. For public companies, the standard will t ake effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 with earlier application permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated fina ncial statements. |
