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 of Carbon Energy Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. In addition to Carbon Appalachia and Carbon California, we consolidate 46 partnerships in which we have a controlling interest. We reflect the non-controlling ownership interest of the portion we do not own on our consolidated balance sheets within stockholders' equity and our consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with established practice in the oil and gas industry, our consolidated financial statements also include our pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, income, lease operating costs and general and administrative expenses of the oil and gas partnerships in which we have a non-controlling interest. We utilize the equity method to account for investments that do not meet the criteria for pro rata consolidation when we have the ability to significantly influence the operating decisions of the investee. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (" GAAP Reclassifications Certain prior period balances in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, a portion of credit facilities and notes payable balances as of December 31, 2018 were reclassified from non-current liabilities to current liabilities. The remaining reclassifications include certain immaterial balance sheet and expense accounts. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or stockholders' equity previously reported. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of our notes payable and credit facilities approximate fair value based on the variable nature of interest rates and current market rates available to us. Commodity derivatives are recorded at fair value. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents have been generally invested in money market accounts, certificates of deposits and other cash equivalents with maturities of three months or less . Such investments are deemed to be cash equivalents for purposes of the financial statements. At times, the Company may have cash and cash equivalent balances more than federal insured amounts within their accounts. Accounts Receivable We grant credit to all qualified customers, which potentially subjects us to credit risk resulting from, among other factors, adverse changes in the industries in which we operate and the financial condition of our customers. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and, if necessary, maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had not identified any collection issues related to our oil and gas operations and consequently no allowance for doubtful accounts was provided for on those dates. Revenue Accounts receivable - Revenue is comprised of oil, natural gas and NGL revenues from producing activities. We recognize an asset or a liability, whichever is appropriate, for revenues associated with over-deliveries or under-deliveries of natural gas to purchasers. A purchaser imbalance asset occurs when we deliver more natural gas than we nominated to deliver to the purchaser and the purchaser pays only for the nominated amount. Conversely, a purchaser imbalance liability occurs when we deliver less natural gas than we nominated to deliver to the purchaser and the purchaser pays for the amount nominated. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, we had a purchaser imbalance receivable of $956,000 and $551,000, respectively, within accounts receivable-revenue. Joint Interest Billings and Other Our accounts receivable - joint interest billings and other is comprised of receivables due from other exploration and production companies and individuals who own working interests in the properties that we operate. For receivables from joint interest owners, we typically have the ability to withhold future revenues disbursements to recover any non-payment of joint-interest billings. Insurance Receivable Insurance receivable is comprised of insurance claims for the loss of property as a result of wildfires that impacted Carbon California in December 2017. The Company filed claims with its insurance provider. In January 2019, we reached a settlement agreement and received an $800,000 final settlement payment from our insurance provider related to the damage caused by the California wildfires. As of December 31, 2019, we were in receipt of all funds associated with the claims. Revenue Recognition Oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues are recognized when the performance obligation to deliver the production volumes is met and control is transferred to the customer. All product revenues are recognized on the basis of our net revenue interest. Oil and natural gas are typically sold in an unprocessed state to third party purchasers. We recognize revenue based on the net proceeds received from the purchaser when control of oil or natural gas passes to the purchaser. For oil sales, control is typically transferred to the purchaser upon receipt at the wellhead or a contractually agreed upon delivery point. Under our natural gas contracts with purchasers, control transfers upon delivery at the wellhead or the inlet of the purchaser's system. For our other natural gas contracts, control transfers upon delivery to the inlet or to a contractually agreed upon delivery point. Transfer of control drives the presentation of transportation and gathering costs within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Transportation and gathering costs incurred prior to control transfer are recorded within the transportation and gathering expense line item on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, while transportation and gathering costs incurred subsequent to control transfer are recognized as a reduction to the related revenue. We record revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser, but settlement statements may not be received until 30 to 90 days after the month of production. As such, we estimate the production delivered and the related pricing. The estimated revenue is recorded within Accounts receivable – Revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Any differences between our initial estimates and actuals are recorded in the month payment is received from the customer. These differences have not historically been material. Purchaser Concentration We sell our oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production to various purchasers in the industry. The table below presents purchasers that account for 10% or more of total oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids sales for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. There are several purchasers in the areas where we sell our production. We do not believe that changing our primary purchasers or a loss of any other single purchaser would materially impact our business. Year Ended Purchaser 2019 2018 Purchaser A 18 % * Purchaser B 11 % * Purchaser C * 17 % Purchaser D * 16 % Purchaser E * 12 % * less than 10% As of December 31, 2019, none of the above purchasers comprised more than 10% of total accounts receivable. One purchaser's receivable acquired with the closing of the OIE Membership Acquisition accounted for approximately 10% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018. Inventory Inventory includes natural gas, which is recorded at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Inventory also consists of material and supplies used in connection with the Company's maintenance, storage and handling and gas that is available for immediate use, referred to as working gas, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Accounting for Oil and Gas Operations We use the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties, including costs of undeveloped leasehold, dry holes and leasehold equipment, are capitalized. Overhead costs incurred that are directly identified with acquisition, exploration and development activities undertaken by us for our own account, and which are not related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities, are also capitalized. Unproved properties are excluded from amortized capitalized costs until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. We assess our unproved properties for impairment at least annually. Capitalized costs are depleted by an equivalent unit-of-production method, converting gas to oil at the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Depletion is calculated using capitalized costs, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage values. No gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of oil and gas properties unless such disposal significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. All costs related to production activities, including work-over costs incurred solely to maintain or increase levels of production from an existing completion interval, are charged to expense as incurred. We perform a ceiling test quarterly. The full cost ceiling test is a limitation on capitalized costs prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The ceiling test is not a fair value-based measurement, rather it is a standardized mathematical calculation. The ceiling test provides that capitalized costs less related accumulated depletion and deferred income taxes may not exceed the sum of (1) the present value of future net revenue from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves using the un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the month price for the previous twelve month period, excluding the future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations that have been accrued on the balance sheet, at a discount factor of 10%; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized, if any; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) income tax effects related to differences in the book and tax basis of oil and gas properties. Should the net capitalized costs exceed the sum of the components noted above, a ceiling test write-down or impairment would be recognized to the extent of the excess capitalized costs. Such impairments are permanent and cannot be recovered in future periods even if the sum of the components noted above exceeds capitalized costs in future periods. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we did not recognize a ceiling test impairment as our full cost pool did not exceed the ceiling limitations. Future declines in oil and natural gas prices, increases in future operating expenses and future development costs could result in impairments of our oil and gas properties in future periods. Impairment changes are a non-cash charge and accordingly would not affect cash flows but would adversely affect our net income and stockholders' equity. We capitalize interest in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (" FASB Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas, Interest Other Property and Equipment Other property and equipment are recorded at cost or, in the case of assets acquired in a business combination, at fair value. Costs of renewals and improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs which do not extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets. Office furniture, automobiles, and computer hardware and software are depreciated over three to five years. Buildings are depreciated over 27.5 years, and pipeline facilities and equipment are depreciated over twenty years. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. We review our property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. We look primarily to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows in our assessment of whether or not property and equipment have been impaired. Base Gas Gas that is used to maintain wellhead pressures within the storage fields, referred to as base gas, is recorded in other property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Base gas is held in a storage field that is not intended for sale but is required for efficient and reliable operation of the facility. Asset Retirement Obligations Our asset retirement obligations (" ARO The estimated ARO liability is based on estimated economic lives, estimates as to the cost to abandon the wells in the future, and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate estimated at the time the liability is incurred or increased as a result of a reassessment of expected cash flows and assumptions inherent in the estimation of the liability. Upward revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in estimated abandonment costs or well economic lives, or if federal or state regulators enact new requirements regarding the abandonment of wells. AROs are valued utilizing Level 3 fair value measurement inputs (see Notes 6 and 13). Commodity Derivative Instruments We enter into commodity derivative contracts to manage our exposure to oil and natural gas price volatility with an objective to reduce exposure to downward price fluctuations. Commodity derivative contracts may take the form of futures contracts, swaps, collars or options. We have elected not to designate our derivatives as cash flow hedges. All derivatives are initially and subsequently measured at estimated fair value and recorded as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of commodity derivative contracts are recognized in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and gains and losses are included within the cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. We do not believe we are exposed to credit risk in our derivative activities as the counterparties are established, well-capitalized financial institutions. Stock - Based Compensation For restricted stock, compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the awards and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). For restricted performance units, once it becomes probable that the performance measure will be achieved, expense is recognized over the remainder of the performance period. Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as the future tax consequences attributable to the future utilization of existing tax net operating losses and other types of 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 and carryforwards 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. We account for uncertainty in income taxes for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are recognized. Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the period by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share includes potentially issuable shares consisting primarily of non-vested restricted stock and contingent restricted performance units, using the treasury stock method. In periods when we report a net loss, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share would be reduced.

Interest accrues on borrowings under the 2018 Credit Facility at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the base rate plus a margin equal to 0.25% - 0.75% depending on the utilization percentage or (ii) the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (" LIBOR The 2018 Credit Facility also provides for a $15.0 million term loan which bears interest at a rate of 6.25% and is payable in 18 equal monthly installments beginning February 1, 2019 with the last payment due on July 1, 2020. The 2018 Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability to (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur additional liens; (iii) sell, transfer or dispose of assets; (iv) merge or consolidate, wind-up, dissolve or liquidate; (v) make dividends and distribution on, or repurchase of, equity; (vi) make certain investments; (vii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates; (viii) enter in sale-leaseback transactions; (ix) make optional or voluntary payment of debt other than obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility; (x) change the nature of their business; (xi) change their fiscal year or make changes to the accounting treatment or reporting practices; (xii) amend their constituent documents; and (xiii) enter into certain hedging transactions. The affirmative and negative covenants are subject to various exceptions, including certain basket amounts and acceptable transaction levels. In addition, the 2018 Credit Facility requires the Borrowers' compliance, on a consolidated basis, with a maximum Net Debt (all debt of the Borrowing Parties minus all unencumbered cash and cash equivalents of the Borrowers not to exceed $3.0 million) / EBITDAX (as defined) ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 and a current ratio, as defined, minimum of 1.00 to 1.00, tested quarterly, commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2019. In August 2019, we amended the 2018 Credit Facility, effective October 1, 2019, to restrict the aging of our accounts payable to 90 days or less, maintain minimum liquidity of $3.0 million and require the sale of certain non-core assets by December 31, 2019. In February 2020, we amended the 2018 Credit Facility to eliminate the minimum liquidity requirement and reduce the borrowing base to $73.0 million, with subsequent borrowing base reductions totaling $6.0 million scheduled through May 1, 2020. Also, in connection with this amendment, the lenders agreed to waive our noncompliance with the hedging requirement for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019 and waive the asset sale covenant included in the amendment from August 2019. As of December 31, 2019, there was approximately $69.2 million in outstanding borrowings and $5.0 million of additional borrowing capacity under the 2018 Credit Facility. After considering the waivers granted in the February 2020 amendment, we were in compliance with our December 31, 2019 financial covenants. As a result of borrowing base reductions in 2020 discussed above and currently depressed oil and natural gas prices, certain of our covenants under the 2018 Credit Facility may be stressed and may require negotiations and adjustments with our lenders. While we have historically been successful in renegotiating covenant requirements with our lenders, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so successfully in the future. The Company believes given these circumstances it is appropriate to keep the borrowings associated with the 2018 Credit Facility as non-current. The terms of the 2018 Credit Facility require us to enter into derivative contracts at fixed pricing for a certain percentage of our production. We are party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (" ISDA Master Agreements Fees paid in connection with the 2018 Credit Facility totaled approximately $824,000, of which $134,000 was associated with the term loan. The current portion of unamortized fees associated with the credit facility is included in prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets and the non-current portion is included in other non-current assets. The unamortized portion associated with the term loan was $45,000 as of December 31, 2019 and is directly offset against the loan in current liabilities. As of December 31, 2019, we had unamortized deferred issuance costs of approximately $519,000 associated with the 2018 Credit Facility. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we amortized approximately $260,000 and $786,000, respectively, as interest expense associated with the 2018 Credit Facility. Old Ironsides Notes On December 31, 2018, as part of the OIE Membership Acquisition, we delivered unsecured, promissory notes in the aggregate original principal amount of approximately $25.2 million to Old Ironsides (the " Old Ironsides Notes The interest payable under the Old Ironsides Notes can be paid-in-kind at the election of the Company. This provision allows the Company to increase the principal balance associated with the Old Ironsides Notes. This election creates a second tranche of principal, which bears interest at 12.0% per annum. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company elected payment-in-kind interest of approximately $2.5 million.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue [Abstract] | |
REVENUE | Note 9 - Revenue Oil, Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquid Sales We sell oil and natural gas products in the United States primarily within two regions of the United States: Appalachia and Illinois Basins and the Ventura Basin. We enter into contracts that generally include one type of distinct product in variable quantities and priced based on a specific index related to the type of product. Most of our contract pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission line, quality of the oil or natural gas, and prevailing supply and demand conditions. Transportation and Handling We generally purchase natural gas from producers at the wellhead or other receipt points, gather the wellhead natural gas through our gathering systems, and then sell the natural gas based on published index market prices. We remit to the producers either an agreed-upon percentage of the actual proceeds that we receive from our sales of natural gas or an agreed-upon percentage of the proceeds based on index related prices for the natural gas, regardless of the actual amount of the sales proceeds we receive. Our revenues under percent-of-proceeds/index arrangements generally correlate to the price of natural gas. Under fee-based arrangements, we receive a fee for storing natural gas. The storage revenues earned are directly related to the volume of natural gas that flows through our systems and are not directly dependent on commodity prices. Marketing Gas Sales We sell production purchased from third parties as well as production from our own oil and gas producing properties. Marketing gas sales are recognized on a gross basis as we purchase and take control of the gas prior to sale and are the principal in the transaction.

We recognize compensation expense for these restricted stock grants based on the grant date fair value. The following table shows a summary of our unvested restricted stock under the Carbon Plans as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 as well as activity during the years then ended: Weighted Average Number of Shares Grant Date Restricted stock awards, unvested, January 1, 2018 269,997 $ 7.54 Granted 106,000 9.80 Vested (59,550 ) 6.82 Forfeited (2,240 ) 7.41 Restricted stock awards, unvested, December 31, 2018 314,207 $ 8.40 Granted 99,000 10.00 Vested (105,628 ) 6.75 Forfeited (6,682 ) 9.74 Restricted stock awards, unvested, December 31, 2019 300,897 $ 9.41 Compensation costs recognized for these restricted stock grants were approximately $811,000 and $725,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, there was approximately $1.5 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to these restricted stock grants which we expect to recognize over the next 6.3 years. Restricted Performance Units Performance units represent a contractual right to receive one share of our common stock subject to the terms and conditions of the agreements, including the achievement of certain performance measures over a defined period of time as well as, in some cases, continued service requirements. The following table shows a summary of our unvested performance units as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 as well as activity during the years then ended: Number of Shares Restricted performance units, unvested, January 1, 2018 258,811 Granted 136,159 Vested (108,484 ) Forfeited (6,610 ) Restricted performance units, unvested, December 31, 2018 279,876 Granted 101,864 Vested (95,451 ) Forfeited (11,084 ) Restricted performance units, unvested, December 31, 2019 275,205 We account for the performance units granted during 2017 through 2019 at their fair value determined at the date of grant, which were $7.20, $9.80 and $10.00 per share, respectively. The final measurement of compensation cost will be based on the number of performance units that ultimately vest. At December 31, 2019, we estimated that none of the performance units granted in 2019 and 2018 would vest, and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recorded for these performance units. At December 31, 2019, we estimated that it was probable that the performance units granted in 2015, 2016 and 2017 would vest and therefore compensation costs of approximately $637,000 and $408,000 related to these performance units were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, compensation costs related to the performance units granted in 2015, 2016 and 2017 have been fully recognized. As of December 31, 2019, if a change in control and other performance provisions pursuant to the terms and conditions of these award agreements were met in full, the estimated unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested performance units would be approximately $3.2 million. 401(k) Plan We have a 401(k) plan available to eligible employees. The plan provides for 6.0% matching which vests immediately. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we contributed approximately $527,000 and $441,000, respectively, for 401(k) contributions and related administrative expenses. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability; or Level 3: Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period for which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. We have consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed below for all periods presented. The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy: Fair Value Measurements Using (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2019 Assets: Commodity derivatives $ - $ 7,079 $ - $ 7,079 Liabilities: Commodity derivatives $ - $ 556 $ - $ 556 December 31, 2018 Assets: Commodity derivatives $ - $ 7,022 $ - $ 7,022 Commodity Derivatives As of December 31, 2019, our commodity derivative financial instruments are comprised of natural gas and oil swaps and costless collars. The fair values of these agreements are determined under an income valuation technique. The valuation model requires a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, published forward prices, volatilities for options and discount rates, as appropriate. Our estimates of fair value of derivatives include consideration of the counterparty's credit worthiness, our credit worthiness and the time value of money. The consideration of these factors results in an estimated exit-price for each derivative asset or liability under a market place participant's view. All significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; therefore, our derivative instruments are included within the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis; however they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. The fair value of the following assets and liabilities are based on unobservable pricing inputs and therefore, are included within the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMODITY DERIVATIVES | Note 14 - Commodity Derivatives We historically use commodity-based derivative contracts to manage exposures to commodity price on a portion of our oil and natural gas production. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. We also have entered into, on occasion, oil and natural gas physical delivery contracts to effectively provide commodity price hedges. Because these contracts are not expected to be net cash settled, they are considered to be normal sales contracts and not derivatives. These contracts are not recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. We have entered into swap and costless collar derivative agreements to hedge a portion of our oil and natural gas production through 2022. As of December 31, 2019, these derivative agreements consisted of the following: Natural Gas Swaps Natural Gas Collars Weighted Weighted Year MMBtu Price (a) MMBtu Range (a) 2020 12,433,000 $ 2.73 3,430,000 $2.10 – $2.75 2021 6,448,000 $ 2.58 1,745,000 $2.25 – $2.75 Oil Swaps* Oil Collars* Year WTI Bbl Weighted Average Brent Bbl Weighted Average WTI Bbl Weighted Average Brent Bbl Weighted Average 2019 17,523 $53.30 13,805 $64.87 1,700 $47.50 - $57.35 4,500 $47.00 - $75.00 2020 121,147 $ 55.37 207,182 $ 64.62 28,200 $47.00 - $60.15 57,900 $47.00 - $75.00 2021 - $ - 86,341 $ 67.12 66,200 $47.00 - $60.15 190,000 $47.00 - $75.00 2022 - $ - - $ - - $ - 199,900 $50.00 - $61.00 * Includes 100% of Carbon California’s outstanding derivative hedges at December 31, 2019, and not our proportionate share. (a) NYMEX Henry Hub Natural Gas futures contracts for the respective period. (b) NYMEX Light Sweet Crude West Texas Intermediate futures contracts for the respective period. (c) Brent future contracts for the respective period. For our swap instruments, we receive a fixed price for the hedged commodity and pay a floating price to the counterparty. The fixed-price payment and the floating-price payment are netted, resulting in a net amount due to or from the counterparty. Costless collars are designed to establish floor and ceiling prices on anticipated future oil and gas production. The ceiling establishes a maximum price that the Company will receive for the volumes under contract, while the floor establishes a minimum price. The following table summarizes the fair value of the derivatives recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. These derivative instruments are not designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes. As of December 31, (in thousands) 2019 2018 Commodity derivative contracts: Commodity derivative asset $ 5,915 $ 3,517 Commodity derivative asset – non-current $ 1,164 $ 3,505 Commodity derivative liability $ 469 $ - Commodity derivative liability – non-current $ 87 $ - The following table summarizes the commodity derivative gain presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations: Year Ended (in thousands) 2019 2018 Commodity derivative contracts: Settlement gain (loss) $ 3,543 $ (3,848 ) Unrealized (loss) gain (499 ) 8,742 Total commodity derivative gain $ 3,044 $ 4,894 We net our derivative instrument fair value amounts pursuant to ISDA Master Agreements, which provide for the net settlement over the term of the contracts and in the event of default or termination of the contracts.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA - OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) | Note 17 - Supplemental Financial Data - Oil and Gas Producing Activities (unaudited) Estimated Proved Oil, Natural Gas, and Natural Gas Liquid Reserves The reserve estimates as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 presented herein were made in accordance with oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure authoritative accounting guidance. Proved oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquid reserves as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 were calculated based on the prices for oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids during the twelve-month period before the reporting date, determined as an un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the month price for each month within such period. This average price is also used in calculating the aggregate amount and changes in future cash inflows related to the standardized measure of discounted future cash flows. Undrilled locations can be classified as having proved undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time. SEC rules dictate the types of technologies that a company may use to establish reserve estimates, including the extraction of non-traditional resources, such as bitumen extracted from oil sands as well as oil and gas extracted from shales. Our estimates of our net proved, net proved developed, and net proved undeveloped oil, gas and natural gas liquids reserves and changes in our net proved oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquid reserves for 2019 and 2018 are presented in the table below. Proved oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquid reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulation before the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain. Existing economic conditions include the average prices for oil and gas during the twelve-month period prior to the reporting date of December 31, 2019 and 2018 unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. Prices do not include the effects of commodity derivatives. The independent engineering firm, Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. (" CGA Proved developed oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared with the cost of a new well or (ii) through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well. Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. A summary of the changes in quantities of proved oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquid reserves for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (in thousands): 2019 2018 Oil Natural Gas NGL Total Oil Natural Gas NGL Total MBbls MMcf MBbls MMcfe MBbls MMcf MBbls MMcfe Proved reserves, beginning of year 18,898 455,400 1,923 580,326 919 81,702 - 87,216 Revisions of previous estimates (1,362 ) 24,194 (618 ) 12,310 (2,803 ) 1,832 (1,147 ) (21,868 ) Extensions and discoveries 826 1,187 77 6,605 - - - - Production (589 ) (21,436 ) (36 ) (25,182 ) (451 ) (4,798 ) (33 ) (7,702 ) Purchases of reserves in-place - - - - 21,233 376,664 3,103 522,680 Sales of reserves in-place (31 ) (8,980 ) - (9,166 ) - - - - Proved reserves, end of year 17,742 450,365 1,346 564,893 18,898 455,400 1,923 580,326 Proved developed reserves at: End of year 12,972 444,104 936 527,555 14,336 450,424 1,472 545,272 Proved undeveloped reserves at: End of year 4,770 6,261 410 37,338 4,562 4,976 451 35,054 The estimated proved reserves for December 31, 2019 and 2018 includes approximately 3.4 Bcfe and 3.3 Bcfe, respectively, attributed to non-controlling interests of consolidated partnerships.

Future price changes were considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements in existence at each year-end. Future production and development costs, which include costs related to plugging of wells, removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration, are calculated by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in producing and developing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of each year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future income tax expenses are computed by applying the appropriate year-end statutory tax rates to the estimated future pretax net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties involved. The future income tax expenses give effect to tax deductions, credits, and allowances relating to the proved oil and gas reserves. All cash flow amounts, including income taxes, are discounted at 10%. Changes in the demand for oil and natural gas, inflation, and other factors make such estimates inherently imprecise and subject to substantial revision. This table should not be construed to be an estimate of the current market value of our proved reserves. Management does not rely upon the information that follows in making investment decisions.

Specifically, a portion of credit facilities and notes payable balances as of December 31, 2018 were reclassified from non-current liabilities to current liabilities. The remaining reclassifications include certain immaterial balance sheet and expense accounts. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or stockholders' equity previously reported. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of our notes payable and credit facilities approximate fair value based on the variable nature of interest rates and current market rates available to us. Commodity derivatives are recorded at fair value. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents have been generally invested in money market accounts, certificates of deposits and other cash equivalents with maturities of three months or less . Such investments are deemed to be cash equivalents for purposes of the financial statements. At times, the Company may have cash and cash equivalent balances more than federal insured amounts within their accounts. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable We grant credit to all qualified customers, which potentially subjects us to credit risk resulting from, among other factors, adverse changes in the industries in which we operate and the financial condition of our customers. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and, if necessary, maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had not identified any collection issues related to our oil and gas operations and consequently no allowance for doubtful accounts was provided for on those dates. Revenue Accounts receivable - Revenue is comprised of oil, natural gas and NGL revenues from producing activities. We recognize an asset or a liability, whichever is appropriate, for revenues associated with over-deliveries or under-deliveries of natural gas to purchasers. A purchaser imbalance asset occurs when we deliver more natural gas than we nominated to deliver to the purchaser and the purchaser pays only for the nominated amount. Conversely, a purchaser imbalance liability occurs when we deliver less natural gas than we nominated to deliver to the purchaser and the purchaser pays for the amount nominated. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, we had a purchaser imbalance receivable of $956,000 and $551,000, respectively, within accounts receivable-revenue. Joint Interest Billings and Other Our accounts receivable - joint interest billings and other is comprised of receivables due from other exploration and production companies and individuals who own working interests in the properties that we operate. For receivables from joint interest owners, we typically have the ability to withhold future revenues disbursements to recover any non-payment of joint-interest billings. Insurance Receivable Insurance receivable is comprised of insurance claims for the loss of property as a result of wildfires that impacted Carbon California in December 2017. The Company filed claims with its insurance provider. In January 2019, we reached a settlement agreement and received an $800,000 final settlement payment from our insurance provider related to the damage caused by the California wildfires. As of December 31, 2019, we were in receipt of all funds associated with the claims. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues are recognized when the performance obligation to deliver the production volumes is met and control is transferred to the customer. All product revenues are recognized on the basis of our net revenue interest. Oil and natural gas are typically sold in an unprocessed state to third party purchasers. We recognize revenue based on the net proceeds received from the purchaser when control of oil or natural gas passes to the purchaser. For oil sales, control is typically transferred to the purchaser upon receipt at the wellhead or a contractually agreed upon delivery point. Under our natural gas contracts with purchasers, control transfers upon delivery at the wellhead or the inlet of the purchaser's system. For our other natural gas contracts, control transfers upon delivery to the inlet or to a contractually agreed upon delivery point. Transfer of control drives the presentation of transportation and gathering costs within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Transportation and gathering costs incurred prior to control transfer are recorded within the transportation and gathering expense line item on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, while transportation and gathering costs incurred subsequent to control transfer are recognized as a reduction to the related revenue. We record revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser, but settlement statements may not be received until 30 to 90 days after the month of production. As such, we estimate the production delivered and the related pricing. The estimated revenue is recorded within Accounts receivable – Revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Any differences between our initial estimates and actuals are recorded in the month payment is received from the customer. These differences have not historically been material. Purchaser Concentration We sell our oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production to various purchasers in the industry. The table below presents purchasers that account for 10% or more of total oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids sales for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. There are several purchasers in the areas where we sell our production. We do not believe that changing our primary purchasers or a loss of any other single purchaser would materially impact our business. Year Ended Purchaser 2019 2018 Purchaser A 18 % * Purchaser B 11 % * Purchaser C * 17 % Purchaser D * 16 % Purchaser E * 12 % * less than 10% As of December 31, 2019, none of the above purchasers comprised more than 10% of total accounts receivable. One purchaser's receivable acquired with the closing of the OIE Membership Acquisition accounted for approximately 10% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018. |
Inventory | Inventory Inventory includes natural gas, which is recorded at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Inventory also consists of material and supplies used in connection with the Company's maintenance, storage and handling and gas that is available for immediate use, referred to as working gas, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. |
Accounting for Oil and Gas Operations | Accounting for Oil and Gas Operations We use the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties, including costs of undeveloped leasehold, dry holes and leasehold equipment, are capitalized. Overhead costs incurred that are directly identified with acquisition, exploration and development activities undertaken by us for our own account, and which are not related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities, are also capitalized. Unproved properties are excluded from amortized capitalized costs until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. We assess our unproved properties for impairment at least annually. Capitalized costs are depleted by an equivalent unit-of-production method, converting gas to oil at the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Depletion is calculated using capitalized costs, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage values. No gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of oil and gas properties unless such disposal significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. All costs related to production activities, including work-over costs incurred solely to maintain or increase levels of production from an existing completion interval, are charged to expense as incurred. We perform a ceiling test quarterly. The full cost ceiling test is a limitation on capitalized costs prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The ceiling test is not a fair value-based measurement, rather it is a standardized mathematical calculation. The ceiling test provides that capitalized costs less related accumulated depletion and deferred income taxes may not exceed the sum of (1) the present value of future net revenue from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves using the un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the month price for the previous twelve month period, excluding the future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations that have been accrued on the balance sheet, at a discount factor of 10%; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized, if any; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) income tax effects related to differences in the book and tax basis of oil and gas properties. Should the net capitalized costs exceed the sum of the components noted above, a ceiling test write-down or impairment would be recognized to the extent of the excess capitalized costs. Such impairments are permanent and cannot be recovered in future periods even if the sum of the components noted above exceeds capitalized costs in future periods. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we did not recognize a ceiling test impairment as our full cost pool did not exceed the ceiling limitations. Future declines in oil and natural gas prices, increases in future operating expenses and future development costs could result in impairments of our oil and gas properties in future periods. Impairment changes are a non-cash charge and accordingly would not affect cash flows but would adversely affect our net income and stockholders' equity. We capitalize interest in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (" FASB Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas, Interest |
Other Property and Equipment | Other Property and Equipment Other property and equipment are recorded at cost or, in the case of assets acquired in a business combination, at fair value. Costs of renewals and improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs which do not extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets. Office furniture, automobiles, and computer hardware and software are depreciated over three to five years. Buildings are depreciated over 27.5 years, and pipeline facilities and equipment are depreciated over twenty years. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. We review our property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. We look primarily to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows in our assessment of whether or not property and equipment have been impaired. Base Gas Gas that is used to maintain wellhead pressures within the storage fields, referred to as base gas, is recorded in other property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Base gas is held in a storage field that is not intended for sale but is required for efficient and reliable operation of the facility. |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations Our asset retirement obligations (“ ARO The estimated ARO liability is based on estimated economic lives, estimates as to the cost to abandon the wells in the future, and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate estimated at the time the liability is incurred or increased as a result of a reassessment of expected cash flows and assumptions inherent in the estimation of the liability. Upward revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in estimated abandonment costs or well economic lives, or if federal or state regulators enact new requirements regarding the abandonment of wells. AROs are valued utilizing Level 3 fair value measurement inputs (see Notes 6 and 13). |
Commodity Derivative Instruments | Commodity Derivative Instruments We enter into commodity derivative contracts to manage our exposure to oil and natural gas price volatility with an objective to reduce exposure to downward price fluctuations. Commodity derivative contracts may take the form of futures contracts, swaps, collars or options. We have elected not to designate our derivatives as cash flow hedges. All derivatives are initially and subsequently measured at estimated fair value and recorded as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of commodity derivative contracts are recognized in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and gains and losses are included within the cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. We do not believe we are exposed to credit risk in our derivative activities as the counterparties are established, well-capitalized financial institutions. |
Stock - Based Compensation | Stock - Based Compensation For restricted stock, compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the awards and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). For restricted performance units, once it becomes probable that the performance measure will be achieved, expense is recognized over the remainder of the performance period. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as the future tax consequences attributable to the future utilization of existing tax net operating losses and other types of 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 and carryforwards 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. We account for uncertainty in income taxes for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are recognized. |
Earnings Per Common Share | Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the period by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share includes potentially issuable shares consisting primarily of non-vested restricted stock and contingent restricted performance units, using the treasury stock method. In periods when we report a net loss, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share would be reduced. |
