Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | Note 1. – Organization and Basis of Presentation Earthstone Energy, Inc. (together with our consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company,” “our,” “we,” “us,” “Earthstone” or similar terms), a Delaware corporation, is a growth-oriented independent oil and natural gas development and production company. In addition, the Company is active in corporate mergers and the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties that have production and future development opportunities. Our operations are all in the up-stream segment of the oil and natural gas industry and all our properties are onshore in the United States. Oak Valley Resources, LLC (“OVR”) is a Delaware limited liability company formed on December 14, 2012. On December 19, 2014, the Company acquired three operating subsidiaries of OVR, in exchange for shares of Earthstone common stock (the “Exchange”). Prior to the Exchange, OVR was an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), with properties in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. OVR was formed through a series of transactions that conveyed properties and committed cash contributions from various investors including EnCap Investments L.P. (“EnCap”), Wells Fargo Central Pacific Holdings, Inc. (“Wells Fargo”), VILLCo Capital II, LLC (“VILLCo”) and an affiliate of OVR, Oak Valley Management, LLC (“OVM”). Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current-period presentation as follows: • Consolidated Statement of Operations – Accretion of asset retirement obligation has been reclassified out of Lease operating expense and included in its own line item in Operating Costs and Expenses. Transaction costs have been reclassified out of General and administrative expense and included in its own line item in Operating Costs and Expenses. Gain on sale of oil and gas properties has be reclassified from within Revenues to its own line item to arrive at Loss from operations. Gathering income has be reclassified from within Revenues to inclusion in Lease operating expense within Operating Costs and Expenses. These reclassifications had no effect on Loss from operations, Loss before income taxes, or Net loss for each of the three years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. • Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows – Non-cash changes in fair value of the Company’s commodity swaps have been reclassified from the Unrealized (gain) loss on derivative contracts and bifurcated into Total loss (gain) on derivative contracts, net, and Operating portion of net cash received in settlement of derivative contracts. The reclassification had no effect on Net cash provided by operating activities for each of the three years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and balances of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions, including revenues and expenses, are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods then ended. Estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves are the most significant of our estimates. All reserve data included in these Consolidated Financial Statements are based on estimates. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, reserve estimates may be different from the quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that are ultimately recovered. Other items subject to estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, goodwill, asset retirement obligations, valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets, and valuation of derivative instruments. Management evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic and commodity price environment. The volatility of commodity prices results in increased uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. See Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Activities (Unaudited) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable include amounts due from crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids purchasers, other operators for which the Company holds an interest, and from non-operating working interest owners. Accrued crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids sales from purchasers and operators consist of accrued revenues due under normal trade terms, generally requiring payment within 60 days of production. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on reviews of individual customer accounts, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. Accounts deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Provisions for bad debts and recoveries on accounts previously charged off are added to the allowance. The Company routinely assesses the recoverability of all material trade receivables and other receivables to determine their collectability. Allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $0.2 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015. Derivative Instruments The Company utilizes derivative instruments in order to manage exposure to commodity price risk associated with future oil and natural gas production. The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities, measured at fair value, and recognizes changes in the fair value of derivatives in current earnings. The Company has elected to not designate any of its positions under the hedge accounting rules. Accordingly, these derivative contracts are marked-to-market and any changes in the estimated values of derivative contracts held at the balance sheet date are recognized in (Loss) gain on derivative contracts, net (Loss) gain on derivative contracts, net Oil and Gas Properties The method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties determines what costs are capitalized and how these costs are ultimately matched with revenues and expenses. We use the successful efforts method of accounting for natural gas properties as proscribed by the SEC. For more information see Note 6. Oil and Natural Gas Properties . Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of assets acquired over the fair value of those assets and is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Such test includes an assessment of qualitative and quantitative factors. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, impairments to Goodwill of $17.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, were recorded. There were no impairments to Goodwill recorded in the year ended December 31, 2014. For further discussion, see Note 7. Goodwill Segment Reporting The Company’s operations are conducted through two locations which have been deemed operating segments under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company aggregated them into one reporting segment because these operating segments sell the same products, under the same production processes, with the same type of customers, under the same method of distribution, and in the same type of regulatory environment. Asset Retirement Obligations Asset retirement obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets are recognized as liabilities with an increase to the carrying amounts of the related long-lived assets in the period incurred. The cost of the asset, including the asset retirement cost, is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Asset retirement obligations are recorded at estimated fair value, measured by reference to the expected future cash outflows required to satisfy the retirement obligations discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liabilities are accreted to their expected settlement value. If estimated future costs of asset retirement obligations change, an adjustment is recorded to both the asset retirement obligations and the long-lived asset. Revisions to estimated asset retirement obligations can result from changes in retirement cost estimates, revisions to estimated inflation rates, and changes in the estimated timing of abandonment. For further discussion, see Note 12. Asset Retirement Obligations Business Combinations The Company accounts for the acquisition of oil and gas properties not commonly controlled based on the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 805, which requires an acquiring entity to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, provided such assets and liabilities qualify for acquisition accounting under the standard. The Company accounts for property acquisitions of proved developed oil and gas properties as business combinations. Revenue Recognition Oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues represent income from the production and delivery of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, recorded net of royalties. Revenues are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, delivery has occurred, title has been transferred, and collectability of the revenue is probable. The Company follows the sales method of accounting for gas imbalances. The Company had no significant gas imbalances as of December 31, 2016, 2015, or 2014. Concentration of Credit Risk Credit risk represents the actual or perceived financial loss that the Company would record if its purchasers, operators, or counterparties failed to perform pursuant to contractual terms. The purchasers of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids production consist primarily of independent marketers, major oil and natural gas companies and natural gas pipeline companies. Historically, the Company has not experienced any significant losses from uncollectible accounts. In 2016, two purchasers accounted for 41% and 19%, respectively, of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues. In 2015 and 2014, one purchaser accounted for 62% and 60% respectively, of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues. No other purchaser accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues during 2016, 2015, and 2014. Additionally, at December 31, 2016, two purchasers accounted for 28% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids receivables. At December 31, 2015, one purchasers accounted for 25% of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids receivables. No other purchaser accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids receivables at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company holds working interests in oil and gas properties for which a third party serves as operator. The operator sells the oil, natural gas, and NGLs to the purchaser, collects the cash, and distributes the cash to the Company. The Company recognizes the cash received as revenue. In 2016 and 2015, one operator distributed 19% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues. In 2014, a different operator distributed 20% of the Company’s oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues. The derivative instruments of the Company are with a small number of counterparties and, from time-to-time, may represent material assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2016, the Company had no derivative contracts in asset positions. At December 31, 2015, two counterparties accounted for 69% and 31%, respectively, of the Company’s Current derivative asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company regularly maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts. Balances held by the Company at its banks typically exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to the amounts of deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. Income Taxes We are a U.S. company operating in multiple states, as well as one foreign legal entity, Lynden Energy Corp., which is a Canadian company discussed in Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures Our deferred tax expense or benefit represents the change in the balance of deferred tax assets or liabilities reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The historical financials prior to December 19, 2014 are those of OVR. OVR was not subject to taxation and therefore tax provisions were not recorded on the historical consolidated financial statements. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, OVR is now a taxable entity and a charge to earnings to record a tax provision was included in the purchase accounting adjustments. The Company applies the accounting standards related to uncertainty in income taxes. This accounting guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. It requires that the Company recognize in the consolidated financial statements the financial effects of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, including resolution of any appeals or litigation processes, based upon the technical merits of the position. It also provides guidance on measurement, classification, interest, penalties and disclosure. The Company’s tax positions related to its pass-through status and state income tax liability, including deductibility of expenses, have been reviewed by the Company’s management they believe those positions would more likely than not be sustained upon examination. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded an income tax liability for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2016, 2015 or 2014. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Standards adopted in 2016 Debt Issuance Costs – In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. Under this updated guidance, debt issuance costs are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. In August 2015, the FASB subsequently issued a clarification as to the handling of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements that allows the presentation of these costs as an asset. The standards update was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this standards update, as required, effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standards update did not affect the Company’s method of amortizing debt issuance costs and did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Measurement-Period Adjustments – In September 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance that eliminates the requirement to restate prior periods to reflect adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. The updated guidance requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The standards update was effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard update, as required, effective January 1, 2016, which did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Stock Compensation - In March 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on share-based payment accounting. The standards update is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The standards update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early-adopt this standards update as of April 1, 2016 in connection with its initial grant of awards under the Company’s 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan. The Company has elected to record the impact of forfeitures on compensation cost as they occur. The Company is also permitted to withhold income taxes upon settlement of equity-classified awards at up to the maximum statutory tax rates. There was no retrospective adjustment as the Company did not have any outstanding equity awards prior to adoption. See . Standards not yet adopted Revenue Recognition - In May 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. This update amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of good and services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those good or services. The Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Leases – In February 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on accounting for leases. This update requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective adoption, with certain relief provisions, for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements when adopted. The Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Statement of Cash Flows – In August 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance that These amendments clarify how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows related to the following transactions: (1) debt prepayment or extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; and (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions. Additionally, the update clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the amendments on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

Acquisitions and Divestitures | Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures Lynden Arrangement On May 18, 2016, the Company acquired Lynden Energy Corp. (“Lynden”) in an all-stock transaction through an arrangement (the “Lynden Arrangement”) instead of a merger because Lynden is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. The Company acquired all outstanding shares of Lynden’s common stock, through a newly formed subsidiary, with Lynden surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issuing 3,700,279 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to the holders of the common stock of Lynden. The Lynden Arrangement was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations An allocation of the purchase price was prepared using, among other things, an independent fair market valuation. The following is still preliminary with respect to final tax amounts and includes the use of estimates based on information that was available to management at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. We expect the purchase price allocation to be finalized in the first quarter of 2017. Based on our ongoing review of preliminary tax amounts, we adjusted the deferred tax liability recorded as a result of the acquisition and a corresponding change to goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2016. The following table summarizes the consideration transferred, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill ( in thousands, except share and share price amount Consideration: Shares of Earthstone common stock issued in the Arrangement 3,700,279 Closing price of Earthstone common stock as of May 18, 2016 $ 12.35 Total consideration to Lynden shareholders $ 45,698 Fair Value of Liabilities Assumed: Credit facility (4) $ 36,597 Current liabilities 1,915 Deferred tax liability (1) 15,157 Asset retirement obligations 250 Total consideration plus liabilities assumed $ 99,617 Fair Value of Assets Acquired: Cash and cash equivalents (4) $ 5,263 Current assets 2,018 Proved oil and gas properties (2)(3) 48,116 Unproved oil and gas properties 26,600 Amount attributable to assets acquired $ 81,997 Goodwill (5) $ 17,620 (1) This amount represents the difference between the recorded book value and the tax basis of the oil and natural gas properties as of the date of the closing of the Lynden Arrangement, tax-effected using a tax rate of approximately 34.5%. (2) The weighted average commodity prices utilized in the determination of the fair value of oil and natural gas properties was $64.73 per barrel of oil, $3.68 per Mcf of natural gas and $19.34 per barrel of oil equivalent for natural gas liquids, after adjustments for transportation fees and regional price differentials. (3) The market assumptions as to the future commodity prices, projections of estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves, expectations for timing and amount of the future development and operating costs, projecting of future rates of production, expected recovery rate and risk adjusted discount rates used by the Company to estimate the fair value of the oil and natural gas properties represent Level 3 inputs; see Note 4. Fair Value Measurements, (4) Concurrent with closing the Lynden Arrangement, the Company paid off the outstanding balance of $36.6 million on the Lynden credit facility. The settlement of the debt and the cash acquired is equal to the $31.3 million net cash outflow associated with the Lynden Arrangement. (5) Goodwill was determined to be the excess consideration exchanged over the fair value of the net assets of Lynden on May 18, 2016. The goodwill resulted from the expected synergies of the management team and balance sheet of the Company combined with the key assets acquired in the Midland Basin area. The goodwill recognized will not be deductible for tax purposes. The following unaudited supplemental pro forma results of operations present consolidated information assuming the Lynden Arrangement had been completed as of January 1, 2014. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information was derived from the historical consolidated and combined statements of operations for the Company and Lynden and adjusted to include: (i) depletion expense applied to the adjusted basis of the properties acquired, (ii) accretion expense associated with the asset retirement obligations recorded using the Company’s assumptions about the future liabilities and (iii) interest expense based on the combined debt of the Company post-acquisition. These unaudited supplemental pro forma results of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the combined company for the periods presented or that may be achieved by the combined company in the future. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in this unaudited pro forma financial information ( in thousands, except per share amounts Years ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 (Unaudited) Revenue $ 47,679 $ 62,817 $ 112,370 (Loss) income before taxes $ (53,510 ) $ (148,609 ) $ 32,912 Net (loss) income available to Earthstone common stockholders $ (54,744 ) $ (122,598 ) $ 19,518 Pro Forma net (loss) income per common share: Basic $ (2.73 ) $ (6.99 ) $ 1.11 Diluted $ (2.73 ) $ (6.99 ) $ 1.11 Earthstone Energy Reverse Acquisition On December 19, 2014, the Company acquired three operating subsidiaries of OVR, which included producing assets, undeveloped acreage and cash, in exchange for shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange”), which resulted in a change of control of the Company. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, OVR contributed to Earthstone the membership interests of its three subsidiaries, Earthstone Operating, LLC (formerly Oak Valley Operating, LLC (“OVO”)), EF Non-Op, LLC (“EF Non-Op”) and Sabine River Energy, LLC (“Sabine”), each a Texas limited liability company (collectively “Oak Valley”). OVR received approximately 9.124 million shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The Exchange resulted in a change of control of the Company. The Exchange was recorded in accordance with FASB ASC An allocation of the purchase price was prepared using, among other things, the December 31, 2014 reserve report prepared by Cawley, Gillespie and Associates, Inc. (“CG&A”), adjusted by the Company’s reserve engineering staff back to the December 19, 2014 acquisition date.

For additional information on Level 3 inputs, see Note 4. Fair Value Measurements (5) Goodwill was determined to be the excess consideration exchanged over the fair value of the Company’s net assets on December 19, 2014. In 2016, due to the commodity price environment, the Company determined that the amount recorded was no longer recoverable and recognized a full impairment Note 7.Goodwill 2014 Eagle Ford Acquisition Properties On December 19, 2014, immediately following the Exchange, Flatonia Energy, LLC (“Flatonia”), Parallel Resource Partners, LLC (“Parallel”), and Sabine, closed a contribution agreement (the “Flatonia Contribution Agreement”) by and among the Company, OVR, Sabine, OVO, Parallel, and Flatonia, whereby Parallel contributed 28.57% of the oil and natural gas property interests held by Flatonia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parallel, in exchange for approximately 2.957 million shares of Common Stock. The assets subject to the Flatonia Contribution Agreement were oil and natural gas property interests in producing wells and acreage in the Eagle Ford trend of Texas (the “2014 Eagle Ford Acquisition Propertie s . An allocation of the purchase price was prepared using, the December 31, 2014 reserve report prepared by CG&A that was adjusted by the Company’s reserve engineering staff back to December 19, 2014. The following table summarizes the consideration paid to acquire the 2014 Eagle Ford Acquisition Properties and the estimated values of those net assets ( in thousands, except share and share price amounts Shares of Common Stock issued as consideration in the 2,957,288 Closing price of Common Stock as of December 19, 2014 $ 19.08 Total purchase price $ 56,425 Estimated Fair Value of Liabilities Assumed: Deferred tax liability (1) $ 1,547 Asset retirement obligation 173 Amount attributable to liabilities assumed 1,720 Total purchase price plus liabilities assumed $ 58,145 Estimated Fair Value of Assets Acquired: Proved oil and natural gas properties (2) (3) $ 34,745 Unproved oil and natural gas properties 21,853 Amount attributable to assets acquired $ 56,598 Goodwill (4) $ 1,547 (1) This amount represents the difference between the recorded book value and the tax basis of the oil and natural gas properties as of the date of the closing of the Flatonia Contribution Agreement, tax-effected using a tax rate of approximately 34%.

For additional information on Level 3 inputs, see Note 4. Fair Value Measurements (4) Goodwill was determined as the excess consideration exchanged over the fair value of the 2014 Eagle Ford Acquisition Properties on December 19, 2014. In 2015, due to the commodity price environment, the Company determined that the goodwill balance was not recoverable and therefore fully impaired it, recording a goodwill impairment charge Note 7.Goodwill Other Acquisitions In June 2015, the Company acquired a 50% operated working interests in approximately 1,000 gross acres in southern Gonzales County, Texas. The acreage, acquired for future Eagle Ford development, is 100% held-by-production by two gross Austin Chalk wells with gross production of 44 barrels of oil equivalent per day as of the time of acquisition. Also during June 2015, the Company acquired 400 gross acres in northern Karnes County, Texas, which is adjacent to the 1,000 gross acres in southern Gonzales County, Texas. Subsequent trades in Karnes County reduced the gross acreage from 400 to 350 gross acres (117 net acres). The following table summarizes the consideration paid to acquire the properties and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands) Purchase price $ 4,066 Estimated fair value of assets acquired: Proved oil and natural gas properties $ 588 Unproved oil and natural gas properties 3,496 Total assets acquired $ 4,084 Estimated fair value of liabilities assumed: Asset retirement obligations $ 13 Other liabilities 5 Total liabilities assumed $ 18 Consideration paid $ 4,066 Additionally, in June 2015, the Company acquired additional acreage and working interest in wells located within existing Bakken spacing units primarily located in the Banks Field of McKenzie County, North Dakota, for $1.4 million plus purchase price adjustments of $2.0 million for the revenues, net of production taxes and operating expenses and capital costs incurred for the existing wells. The acquisition included 164 net acres which allowed the Company to increase its working interest in approximately 41 producing wells and 21 wells that were in the drilling and completion phase. In August 2015, the Company acquired a 33% working interest in approximately 1,650 gross acres, in southern Gonzales County, Texas for $3.3 million. Divestitures In April 2015, the Company sold its Louisiana properties located primarily in DeSoto and Caddo Parishes, Louisiana, for cash consideration of $3.4 million. The Company recorded a gain of $1.6 million on the sale. The effective date of the transaction was March 1, 2015. |

Fair Value Measurements | Note 4. Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC Topic 820, The three-level fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements defined by ASC 820 is as follows: Level 1 – Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. An active market is defined as a market where transactions for the financial instrument occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life. Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require unobservable inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. Valuation under Level 3 generally involves a significant degree of judgment from management. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instrument’s complexity. The Company reflects transfers between the three levels at the beginning of the reporting period in which the availability of observable inputs no longer justifies classification in the original level. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for the year ended December 31, 2016. Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis. The derivative financial instruments consist of swaps for crude oil and natural gas. The Company’s swaps are valued based on a discounted future cash flow model. The primary input for the model is published forward commodity price curves. The swaps are also designated as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The fair values of commodity derivative instruments in an asset position include a measure of counterparty nonperformance risk, and the fair values of commodity derivative instruments in a liability position include a measure of the Company’s nonperformance risk. These measurements were not material to the consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, by level within the fair-value hierarchy (in thousands) December 31, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial liabilities Derivative liability $ — $ 4,595 $ — $ 4,595 Derivative liability — 1,575 — 1,575 Total financial liabilities $ — $ 6,170 $ — $ 6,170 December 31, 2015 Financial assets Derivative asset $ — $ 3,694 $ — $ 3,694 Total financial assets $ — $ 3,694 $ — $ 3,694 Other financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable and payable, and revenue royalties. The carrying amount of these instruments approximates fair value because of their short-term nature. The Company’s long-term debt obligation bears interest at floating market rates, therefore carrying amounts and fair value are approximately equal. Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard on a non-recurring basis to its non-financial assets and liabilities, including oil and gas properties and goodwill. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. Property Impairments Oil and gas properties are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The impairment charge reduces the carrying values of oil and gas properties’ to their estimated fair values. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 measurements and include many unobservable inputs. Fair value is calculated as the estimated discounted future net cash flows attributable to the assets. The Company’s primary assumptions in preparing the estimated discounted future net cash flows to be recovered from oil and gas properties are based on (i) proved reserves, (ii) forward commodity prices and assumptions as to costs and expenses, and (iii) the estimated discount rate that would be used by potential purchasers to determine the fair value of the assets. See Note 6. Oil and Natural Gas Properties Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of assets acquired over the fair value of those assets and is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Such test includes an assessment of qualitative and quantitative factors. See Note 7. Goodwill Business Combinations The Company records the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value at the date of acquisition on a nonrecurring basis. Fair value may be estimated using comparable market data, a discounted cash flow method, or a combination of the two. In the discounted cash flow method, estimated future cash flows are based on management’s expectations for the future and include estimates of future oil and gas production, commodity prices based on NYMEX commodity futures price strips as of the date of the estimate, operating and development costs, and a risk-adjusted discount rate. The future oil and natural gas pricing used in the valuation is a Level 2 assumption. Significant Level 3 assumptions associated with the calculation of discounted cash flows used in the determination of fair value of the acquisition include the Company’s estimate operating and development costs, anticipated production of proved reserves, appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates and other relevant data. The Company’s acquisitions are discussed in Note 3 Acquisitions and Divestitures Asset Retirement Obligations The asset retirement obligation estimates are derived from historical costs and management’s expectation of future cost environments; and therefore, the Company has designated these liabilities as Level 3. The significant inputs to this fair value measurement include estimates of plugging, abandonment and remediation costs, well life, inflation and credit-adjusted risk free rate.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Note 5. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, such as commodity price risk. Derivative contracts are utilized to economically hedge the Company’s exposure to price fluctuations and reduce the variability in the Company’s cash flows associated with anticipated sales of future oil and natural gas production. The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, The Company’s crude oil and natural gas derivative positions consist of swaps. Swaps are designed so that the Company receives or makes payments based on a differential between fixed and variable prices for crude oil and natural gas. The Company has elected to not designate any of its derivative contracts for hedge accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company records the net change in the mark-to-market valuation of these derivative contracts, as well as all payments and receipts on settled derivative contracts, in (Loss) gain on derivative contracts, net With an individual derivative counterparty, the Company may have multiple hedge positions that expire at various points in the future and result in fair value asset and liability positions. At the end of each reporting period, those positions are offset to a single fair value asset or liability for each commodity by counterparty, and the netted balance is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset or a liability. The Company nets its derivative instrument fair value amounts executed with each counterparty pursuant to an International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreement (“ISDA”), which provides for net settlement over the term of the contract. The ISDA is a standard contract that governs all derivative contracts entered into between the Company and the respective counterparty. The ISDA allows for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between the Company and the counterparty, at the election of both parties, for transactions that occur on the same date and in the same currency The Company had the following open crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts as of December 31, 2016: Price Swaps Period Commodity Volume (Bbl s Weighted Average Price ($/Bbl / $/MMBtu) Q1 - Q4 2017 Crude Oil 600,000 $ 50.38 Q1 - Q4 2018 Crude Oil 270,000 $ 50.70 Q1 - Q4 2017 Natural Gas 1,740,000 $ 2.997 Q1 - Q4 2018 Natural Gas 600,000 $ 2.907 The following table summarizes the location and fair value amounts of all derivative instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as well as the gross recognized derivative assets, liabilities, and amounts offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands) December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Derivatives not designated as hedging contracts under ASC Topic 815 Balance Sheet Location Gross Recognized Assets / Liabilities Gross Amounts Offset Net Recognized Assets / Liabilities Gross Recognized Assets / Liabilities Gross Amounts Offset Net Recognized Assets / Liabilities Commodity Derivative asset $ — $ — $ — $ 3,694 $ — $ 3,694 Commodity contracts Derivative liability $ 4,595 $ — $ 4,595 $ — $ — $ — Commodity contracts Derivative liability $ 1,575 $ — $ 1,575 $ — $ — $ — The follow table summarizes the location and amounts of the Company’s realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives instruments in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands) Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Derivatives not designated as hedging contracts under ASC Topic 815 Statement of Operations Location Total (loss) gain on commodity contracts (Loss) gain on derivative contracts, net $ (9,863 ) $ 125 $ 3,614 Cash settlements on commodity contracts (Loss) gain on derivative contracts, net 3,225 6,306 778 (Loss) gain on commodity contracts, net $ (6,638 ) $ 6,431 $ 4,392 |

Under this method, costs to acquire oil and gas properties, drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain wells and related equipment, lease and well operating costs, and other exploration costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses arising from the sale of properties are included in operating income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s lease acquisition costs and development costs of proved oil and gas properties are amortized using the units-of-production method, at the field level, based on total proved reserves and proved developed reserves, respectively. Depletion expense for oil and gas producing property and related equipment was $25.4 million, $30.7 million, and $18.1 million, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Proved Properties The Company reviews its proved oil and gas properties for impairment when events and circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying values of such properties, such as a negative revision of reserves estimates or sustained decrease in commodity prices. We estimate future cash flows expected in connection with the properties and compare such future cash flows to the carrying amount of the properties to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. Unproved Properties Unproved properties consist of costs incurred to acquire undeveloped leases as well as the cost to acquire unproved reserves. Undeveloped lease costs and unproved reserve acquisition costs are capitalized. Unproved oil and gas leases are generally for a primary term of three to five years. In most cases, the term of the unproved leases can be extended by paying delay rentals, meeting contractual drilling obligations, or by the presence of producing wells on the leases. Unproved costs related to successful exploratory drilling are reclassified to proved properties and depleted on a units-of-production basis. The Company reviews its unproved properties periodically for impairment. In determining whether an unproved property is impaired, the Company considers numerous factors including, but not limited to, current exploration and development plans, favorable or unfavorable exploration activity on the property being evaluated and/or adjacent properties, our geologists' evaluation of the property, and the remaining months in the lease term for the property The Company had the following non-cash asset impairment charges to its oil and natural gas properties for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 ( in thousands Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Proved property $ 2,873 $ 93,984 $ 16,903 Unproved property 3,878 42,555 2,456 Total $ 6,751 $ 136,539 $ 19,359 Accumulated impairments to proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, were $162.7 million and $155.9 million, respectively. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss Per Common Share | Note 8. Net Loss Per Common Share Net loss per common share—basic is calculated by dividing Net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net loss per common share—diluted assumes the conversion of all potentially dilutive securities and is calculated by dividing Net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities. Net loss per common share—diluted considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. A reconciliation of Loss per common share is as follows: Years Ended December 31, (In thousands, except per share amounts) 2016 2015 2014 Net loss $ (54,541 ) $ (116,655 ) $ (28,834 ) Net loss per common share: Basic $ (2.92 ) $ (8.43 ) $ (3.11 ) Diluted $ (2.92 ) $ (8.43 ) $ (3.11 ) Weighted average common shares outstanding Basic 18,651,582 13,835,128 9,279,324 Add potentially dilutive securities: Nonvested restricted stock units — — — Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 18,651,582 13,835,128 9,279,324 For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company excluded 52,844 shares for the dilutive effect of restricted stock units in calculating diluted earnings per share as the effect was anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred this period. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no restricted stock units issued or outstanding under the Company’s long-term incentive plan. |

Stock Based Compensation | The Company’s amended 2014 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) allows, among other things, for the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). RSUs do not pay dividends or have voting rights prior to vesting. The Company determines the fair value of granted RSUs based on the market price of the Common Stock of the Company on the date of the grant. Compensation expense is for granted RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting and is net of forfeitures, as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company granted 754,500 RSU’s to employees of the Company and 27,000 RSUs to members of its Board of Directors (the “Awards”). The weighted average grant date fair value of the Awards was $12.53 per share. The future compensation cost of the Awards at December 31, 2016 is $6.5 million which will be amortized over the remaining vesting period. The weighted average remaining useful life of the future compensation cost is 0.74 years. Stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2016 recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations was $3.3 million.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Long-Term Debt | Note 11. Long Credit Facility In December, 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement providing for a $500.0 million four-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). At December 31, 2016, borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was $80.0 million and is subject to redetermination on May 1 and November 1 each year, as well as other elective borrowing base redeterminations. As of December 31, 2016, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate elected by the Company that is equal to a base rate (which is equal to the greater of the prime rate, the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and 1-month LIBOR plus 1.00%) or LIBOR, in each case plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% for base rate loans and from 2.25% to 3.25% for LIBOR loans, in each case depending on the amount of the loan outstanding in relation to the borrowing base. The Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.50% per year on the unused portion of the borrowing base, which fee is also dependent on the amount of the loan outstanding in relation to the borrowing base. The Company is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees. Principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are due and payable in full at maturity on December 19, 2018. All of the obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had an $80.0 million borrowing base, of which $10.0 million of debt was outstanding, bearing an interest rate of 2.867%, as well as a $0.2 million letters of credit outstanding related to our office lease, resulting in $69.8 million of borrowing base availability under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains a number of customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on asset, pay dividends, and repurchase its capital stock. In addition, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios, including a minimum modified current ratio which includes the available borrowing base of 1.0 to 1.0 and a maximum annualized quarterly leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0. The Company is also required to submit an audited annual report 120 days after the end of each fiscal period. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with these covenants under the Credit Agreement. Promissory Note In July 2016, the Company issued a $5.1 million unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) to a drilling rig contractor in settlement of rig idle charges and a contract termination fee. These expenses were recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations in the line item Rig idle and contract termination expense The following table below summarizes long term debt ( in thousands December 31, 2016 2015 Borrowings under Credit Agreement $ 10,000 $ 11,191 Promissory note 4,297 — Total debt 14,297 11,191 Less: Current portion of long-term debt (1,604 ) — Long-term debt $ 12,693 $ 11,191 For the year ended December 31, 2016, we borrowed $36.6 million and made payments of $37.8 million under the Credit Agreement.

Environmental The Company’s operations are subject to risks normally associated with the drilling, completion and production of oil and gas, including blowouts, fires, and environmental risks such as oil spills or gas leaks that could expose the Company to liabilities associated with these risks. In the Company’s acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the Company may not be aware of prior environmental safeguards, if any, that were taken at the time such wells were drilled or during such time the wells were operated. The Company maintains comprehensive insurance coverage that it believes is adequate to mitigate the risk of any adverse financial effects associated with these risks. However, should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any environmental cleanup or restoration, the liability to cure such a violation could still fall upon the Company. No claim has been made, nor is the Company aware of any liability which the Company may have, as it relates to any environmental cleanup, restoration, or the violation of any rules or regulations relating thereto except for the matter discussed above. Legal From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business.

The impairments recorded by the Company during 2015 reduced the book value of its properties below the tax basis; thereby, giving rise to a significant deferred tax asset associated with its oil and gas properties and putting the Company in an overall net deferred tax asset position prior to any realization assessment. The realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets is not more likely-than-not, therefore the Company recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its overall net deferred tax asset portion to zero. Deferred Tax Assets And Liabilities The Company's deferred tax position reflects the net tax effects of the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting. Significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows ( in thousands December 31, 2016 2015 Deferred noncurrent income tax assets (liabilities): Office and other equipment (48 ) (253 ) Oil & gas properties 7,428 23,177 Asset retirement obligation 2,042 1,788 Basis difference in subsidiary obligation (4,226 ) — Intangible assets 36 (7 ) Unrealized derivative loss (gain) 2,145 (1,284 ) Stock-based compensation 1,148 — Federal net operating loss carryforward 15,109 339 Other 186 59 Net deferred noncurrent tax assets 23,820 23,819 Valuation allowance (39,596 ) (23,819 ) Net deferred tax (liability) asset $ (15,776 ) $ — As of December 31, 2016, the Company has a valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets of $39.6 million which is in excess of its Net deferred noncurrent tax assets of $23.8 million, as presented above. The Company’s corporate organizational structure requires the filing of two separate consolidated U.S. Federal income tax returns and one Canadian income tax return. As a result, tax attributes of one group cannot be offset by the tax attributes of another. At December 31, 2016, the deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the two U.S. Federal income tax returns and one Canadian income tax return are a $36.0 million deferred tax asset, a $15.8 million deferred tax liability and a $3.6 million deferred tax asset, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has estimated U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of $36.4 million, the first expiring in 2034 and the last in 2036, and estimated Canadian net operating loss carryforwards of $10.0 million, the first expiring in 2024 and the last in 2036. The ability to utilize net operating losses and other tax attributes could be subject to a significant limitation if the Company were to undergo an ownership change for the purposes of Section 382 of the US Tax Code (“Sec 382”). The Company has an additional estimated U.S. net operating loss carryforward of $28.0 million limited by Sec 382 resulting from the Lynden Arrangement.

The data for a given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. As a result, revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur from time to time. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the subjective decisions and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates included in the financial statement disclosures. Proved reserves represent estimated quantities of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering data demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under economic and operating conditions in effect when the estimates were made. Proved developed reserves represent estimated quantities expected to be recovered through wells and equipment in place and under operating methods used when the estimates were made. The proved reserves estimates shown herein for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 have been independently prepared by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. The reserve information in these consolidated financial statements represents only estimates. There are a number of uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves, including many factors beyond the Company’s control, such as commodity pricing. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and engineering and geological interpretation and judgement. As a result, estimates by different engineers may vary. In addition, results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may lead to revising the original estimate. Accordingly, initial reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. The meaningfulness of such estimates depends primarily on the accuracy of the assumptions upon which they were based. Except to the extent the Company acquires additional properties containing proved reserves or conducts successful exploration and development activities or both, the Company’s proved reserves will decline as reserves are produced. The following table illustrates the Company’s estimated net proved reserves, including changes, and proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves for the periods indicated. The oil prices as of December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 are based on the respective 12-month unweighted average of the first of the month prices of the West Texas Intermediate spot prices which equates to $42.75 per barrel, $50.28 per barrel, and $94.99 per barrel, respectively. The natural gas prices as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 are based on the respective 12-month unweighted average of the first of month prices of the Henry Hub spot price which equates to $2.48 per MMBtu, $2.59 per MMBtu and $4.30 per MMBtu, respectively. All prices are adjusted by lease or field for energy content, transportation fees, and market differentials. All prices are held constant in accordance with SEC guidelines. A summary of the Company’s changes in quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: Oil Natural Gas NGLs Total (MBbl) (MMcf) (MBbl) (MBOE) Balance - December 31, 2013 6,078 24,213 1,318 11,431 Extensions and discoveries 1,909 1,403 221 2,364 Purchases of minerals in place 7,025 6,064 437 8,473 Production (403 ) (2,132 ) (124 ) (882 ) Revision to previous estimates (806 ) 9,031 107 806 Balance - December 31, 2014 13,803 38,579 1,959 22,192 Extensions and discoveries 526 828 21 685 Sales of minerals in place (4 ) (8,040 ) — (1,344 ) Purchases of minerals in place 1,641 679 208 1,962 Production (904 ) (2,143 ) (176 ) (1,437 ) Revision to previous estimates (5,701 ) (16,565 ) (1,022 ) (9,484 ) Balance - December 31, 2015 9,361 13,338 990 12,574 Extensions and discoveries 345 285 30 423 Purchases of minerals in place 5,548 14,770 2,637 10,647 Production (878 ) (2,171 ) (225 ) (1,465 ) Revision to previous estimates (7,265 ) (5,821 ) (1,892 ) (10,128 ) Balance - December 31, 2016 7,111 20,401 1,540 12,051 Proved developed reserves: December 31, 2013 1,307 11,053 557 3,706 December 31, 2014 6,093 16,214 1,005 9,800 December 31, 2015 6,114 10,954 673 8,613 December 31, 2016 6,052 13,545 1,051 9,361 Proved undeveloped reserves: December 31, 2013 4,771 13,160 761 7,725 December 31, 2014 7,710 22,365 954 12,392 December 31, 2015 3,247 2,384 317 3,961 December 31, 2016 1,059 6,856 489 2,690 Total proved reserves decreased by 0.5 MMBoe during 2016 which primarily resulted from a 10.1 MMBoe downward reserve revision caused by decreases in the prices used to calculated those reserves (prices used to estimate reserves are included in Oil and Natural Gas Reserves At December 31, 2016 the Company’s estimated proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) were 2.7 MMBoe, a 1.3 MMBoe net decrease over the previous year’s estimate of 4.0 MMBoe. The following details the changes in PUD reserves for 2016 ( in MBoe Proved undeveloped reserves at December 31, 2015 3,961 Conversions to developed (169 ) Extensions and discoveries 293 Purchases 873 Revisions (2,268 ) Proved undeveloped reserves at December 31, 2016 2,690 The change to the PUD reserves was a result of the significant decline in oil and natural gas prices. Prices used to estimate reserves are included in Oil and Natural Gas Reserves Extensions and Discoveries during the year ended December 31, 2016 were from the Company’s operated Eagle Ford and non-operated Bakken properties. All of the Company’s purchases of minerals in place reserves during the year ended December 31, 2015, occurred in the Eagle Ford property in Gonzales County, Texas. Based on the Company’s year-end 2015 reserve report, the Company expects to drill all of its PUD locations within five years. The total proved reserves increase of 10.8 MMBoe during 2014 is comprised of 6.1 MMBoe in proved developed and 4.7 MMBoe in proved undeveloped reserves. During 2014, the Company added 2.4 MMBoe in proved reserves due to extension and discoveries, the majority of which is due to successful drilling in its operated Eagle Ford property in Fayette and Gonzales counties, Texas. Both new wells drilled and completed during 2014 along with the PUD locations that were added because of this successful drilling contributed to the increase in proved reserves. Purchase of minerals in place of 8.5 MMBoe were as a result of the Exchanges Agreement whereby Oak Valley acquired the legacy Earthstone assets through a reverse acquisition and the Flatonia Contribution Agreement where the Company acquired additional interests in its operated Eagle Ford property. All of the Company’s increases through extensions and discoveries occurred in its operated Eagle Ford property in Fayette and Gonzales counties, Texas as a result of successful drilling during 2014 which added additional PUD locations as well. PUDs that were converted during the year occurred in both the Company’s operated Eagle Ford and non-operated Bakken properties and 62% of the conversions occurred in the Eagle Ford property. Extensions and Discoveries were from the Company’s operated Eagle Ford and non-operated Bakken properties. All of the Company’s purchases of PUD reserves occurred in the Eagle Ford property in Gonzales County, Texas. Based on the Company’s year-end 2016 reserve report, the Company expects to drill all of its PUD locations within five years. For wells classified as proved developed producing where sufficient production history existed, reserves were based on individual well performance evaluation and production decline curve extrapolation techniques. For undeveloped locations and wells that lack sufficient production history, reserves were based on analogy to producing wells within the same area exhibiting similar geologic and reservoir characteristics, combined with volumetric methods. The volumetric estimates were based on geologic maps and rock and fluid properties derived from well logs, core data, pressure measurements, and fluid samples. Well spacing was determined from drainage patterns derived from a combination of performance-based recoveries and volumetric estimates for each area or field. PUD locations were limited to areas of uniformly high quality reservoir properties, between existing commercial producers. Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Natural Gas Reserves The following Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows (Standardized Measure) has been developed utilizing ASC 932, Extractives Activities – Oil and Gas The Company believes that the following factors should be taken into account when reviewing the following information: • Future costs and commodity prices will probably differ from those required to be used in these calculations; • Due to future market conditions and governmental regulations, actual rates of production in future years may vary significantly from the rate of production assumed in the calculations; • A 10% discount rate may not be reasonable as a measure of the relative risk inherent in realizing future net oil and natural gas revenues; and • Future net revenues may be subject to different rates of income taxation At December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, as specified by the SEC, the prices for oil and natural gas used in this calculation were the unweighted 12-month average of the first day of the month prices, except for volumes subject to fixed price contracts.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and balances of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions, including revenues and expenses, are eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods then ended. Estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves are the most significant of our estimates. All reserve data included in these Consolidated Financial Statements are based on estimates. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, reserve estimates may be different from the quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that are ultimately recovered. Other items subject to estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, goodwill, asset retirement obligations, valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets, and valuation of derivative instruments. Management evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic and commodity price environment. The volatility of commodity prices results in increased uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. See Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Activities (Unaudited) |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable include amounts due from crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids purchasers, other operators for which the Company holds an interest, and from non-operating working interest owners. Accrued crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids sales from purchasers and operators consist of accrued revenues due under normal trade terms, generally requiring payment within 60 days of production. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on reviews of individual customer accounts, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. Accounts deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Provisions for bad debts and recoveries on accounts previously charged off are added to the allowance. The Company routinely assesses the recoverability of all material trade receivables and other receivables to determine their collectability. Allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $0.2 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015. |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments The Company utilizes derivative instruments in order to manage exposure to commodity price risk associated with future oil and natural gas production. The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities, measured at fair value, and recognizes changes in the fair value of derivatives in current earnings. The Company has elected to not designate any of its positions under the hedge accounting rules. Accordingly, these derivative contracts are marked-to-market and any changes in the estimated values of derivative contracts held at the balance sheet date are recognized in (Loss) gain on derivative contracts, net (Loss) gain on derivative contracts, net |
Oil and Gas Properties | Oil and Gas Properties The method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties determines what costs are capitalized and how these costs are ultimately matched with revenues and expenses. We use the successful efforts method of accounting for natural gas properties as proscribed by the SEC. For more information see Note 6. Oil and Natural Gas Properties . |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of assets acquired over the fair value of those assets and is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Such test includes an assessment of qualitative and quantitative factors. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, impairments to Goodwill of $17.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, were recorded. There were no impairments to Goodwill recorded in the year ended December 31, 2014. For further discussion, see Note 7. Goodwill |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company’s operations are conducted through two locations which have been deemed operating segments under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company aggregated them into one reporting segment because these operating segments sell the same products, under the same production processes, with the same type of customers, under the same method of distribution, and in the same type of regulatory environment. |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations Asset retirement obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets are recognized as liabilities with an increase to the carrying amounts of the related long-lived assets in the period incurred. The cost of the asset, including the asset retirement cost, is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Asset retirement obligations are recorded at estimated fair value, measured by reference to the expected future cash outflows required to satisfy the retirement obligations discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liabilities are accreted to their expected settlement value. If estimated future costs of asset retirement obligations change, an adjustment is recorded to both the asset retirement obligations and the long-lived asset. Revisions to estimated asset retirement obligations can result from changes in retirement cost estimates, revisions to estimated inflation rates, and changes in the estimated timing of abandonment. For further discussion, see Note 12. Asset Retirement Obligations |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations The Company accounts for the acquisition of oil and gas properties not commonly controlled based on the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 805, which requires an acquiring entity to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, provided such assets and liabilities qualify for acquisition accounting under the standard. The Company accounts for property acquisitions of proved developed oil and gas properties as business combinations. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues represent income from the production and delivery of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, recorded net of royalties. Revenues are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, delivery has occurred, title has been transferred, and collectability of the revenue is probable. The Company follows the sales method of accounting for gas imbalances. The Company had no significant gas imbalances as of December 31, 2016, 2015, or 2014. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Credit risk represents the actual or perceived financial loss that the Company would record if its purchasers, operators, or counterparties failed to perform pursuant to contractual terms. The purchasers of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids production consist primarily of independent marketers, major oil and natural gas companies and natural gas pipeline companies. Historically, the Company has not experienced any significant losses from uncollectible accounts. In 2016, two purchasers accounted for 41% and 19%, respectively, of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues. In 2015 and 2014, one purchaser accounted for 62% and 60% respectively, of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues. No other purchaser accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues during 2016, 2015, and 2014. Additionally, at December 31, 2016, two purchasers accounted for 28% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids receivables. At December 31, 2015, one purchasers accounted for 25% of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids receivables. No other purchaser accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids receivables at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company holds working interests in oil and gas properties for which a third party serves as operator. The operator sells the oil, natural gas, and NGLs to the purchaser, collects the cash, and distributes the cash to the Company. The Company recognizes the cash received as revenue. In 2016 and 2015, one operator distributed 19% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues. In 2014, a different operator distributed 20% of the Company’s oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues. The derivative instruments of the Company are with a small number of counterparties and, from time-to-time, may represent material assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2016, the Company had no derivative contracts in asset positions. At December 31, 2015, two counterparties accounted for 69% and 31%, respectively, of the Company’s Current derivative asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company regularly maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts. Balances held by the Company at its banks typically exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to the amounts of deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We are a U.S. company operating in multiple states, as well as one foreign legal entity, Lynden Energy Corp., which is a Canadian company discussed in Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures Our deferred tax expense or benefit represents the change in the balance of deferred tax assets or liabilities reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The historical financials prior to December 19, 2014 are those of OVR. OVR was not subject to taxation and therefore tax provisions were not recorded on the historical consolidated financial statements. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, OVR is now a taxable entity and a charge to earnings to record a tax provision was included in the purchase accounting adjustments. The Company applies the accounting standards related to uncertainty in income taxes. This accounting guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. It requires that the Company recognize in the consolidated financial statements the financial effects of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, including resolution of any appeals or litigation processes, based upon the technical merits of the position. It also provides guidance on measurement, classification, interest, penalties and disclosure. The Company’s tax positions related to its pass-through status and state income tax liability, including deductibility of expenses, have been reviewed by the Company’s management they believe those positions would more likely than not be sustained upon examination. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded an income tax liability for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2016, 2015 or 2014. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards Standards adopted in 2016 Debt Issuance Costs – In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. Under this updated guidance, debt issuance costs are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. In August 2015, the FASB subsequently issued a clarification as to the handling of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements that allows the presentation of these costs as an asset. The standards update was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this standards update, as required, effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standards update did not affect the Company’s method of amortizing debt issuance costs and did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Measurement-Period Adjustments – In September 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance that eliminates the requirement to restate prior periods to reflect adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. The updated guidance requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The standards update was effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard update, as required, effective January 1, 2016, which did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Stock Compensation - In March 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on share-based payment accounting. The standards update is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The standards update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early-adopt this standards update as of April 1, 2016 in connection with its initial grant of awards under the Company’s 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan. The Company has elected to record the impact of forfeitures on compensation cost as they occur. The Company is also permitted to withhold income taxes upon settlement of equity-classified awards at up to the maximum statutory tax rates. There was no retrospective adjustment as the Company did not have any outstanding equity awards prior to adoption. See . Standards not yet adopted Revenue Recognition - In May 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. This update amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of good and services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those good or services. The Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Leases – In February 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on accounting for leases. This update requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective adoption, with certain relief provisions, for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements when adopted. The Company will adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Statement of Cash Flows – In August 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance that These amendments clarify how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows related to the following transactions: (1) debt prepayment or extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; and (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions. Additionally, the update clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this standards update, as required, beginning with the first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the amendments on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

(2) The weighted average commodity prices utilized in the determination of the fair value of oil and natural gas properties was $64.73 per barrel of oil, $3.68 per Mcf of natural gas and $19.34 per barrel of oil equivalent for natural gas liquids, after adjustments for transportation fees and regional price differentials. (3) The market assumptions as to the future commodity prices, projections of estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves, expectations for timing and amount of the future development and operating costs, projecting of future rates of production, expected recovery rate and risk adjusted discount rates used by the Company to estimate the fair value of the oil and natural gas properties represent Level 3 inputs; see Note 4. Fair Value Measurements, (4) Concurrent with closing the Lynden Arrangement, the Company paid off the outstanding balance of $36.6 million on the Lynden credit facility. The settlement of the debt and the cash acquired is equal to the $31.3 million net cash outflow associated with the Lynden Arrangement. (5) Goodwill was determined to be the excess consideration exchanged over the fair value of the net assets of Lynden on May 18, 2016. The goodwill resulted from the expected synergies of the management team and balance sheet of the Company combined with the key assets acquired in the Midland Basin area. The goodwill recognized will not be deductible for tax purposes. |
