Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. Organization and Principles of Consolidation – Everflow Eastern Partners, L.P. ("Everflow") is a Delaware limited partnership which was organized in September 1990 Everflow Management Limited, LLC ("EML"), an Ohio limited liability company, is the general partner of Everflow and, as such, is authorized to perform all acts necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes and conduct of the business of Everflow. At December 31, 2021, three one September 1990 nor The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Everflow, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including EEI, and interests with joint venture partners (collectively, the "Company"), which are accounted for under the proportional consolidation method. All significant accounts and transactions between the consolidated entities have been eliminated. B. Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("generally accepted accounting principles" or "GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates impacting the Company's financial statements include revenue and expense accruals and oil and gas reserve quantities. In the oil and gas industry, and especially as related to the Company's natural gas sales, the processing of actual transactions generally occurs 60-90 days after the month of delivery of its product. Consequently, accounts receivable from production and crude oil and natural gas sales are recorded using estimated production volumes and market or contract prices. Differences between estimated and actual amounts are recorded in subsequent periods’ financial results. As is typical in the oil and gas industry, a significant portion of the Company's accounts receivable from production and crude oil and natural gas sales consists of unbilled receivables. Oil and gas reserve quantities are utilized in the calculation of depreciation, depletion and amortization and the impairment of crude oil and natural gas properties and also impact the timing and costs associated with asset retirement obligations. The Company's estimates, especially those related to oil and gas reserves, could change in the near term and could significantly impact the Company's results of operations and financial position. C. Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The fair values of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other short-term obligations approximate their carrying values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company's long-term obligations approximate their fair value because they are considered to be at current market rates. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, rates available to the Company at the balance sheet dates are used to estimate the fair value of existing obligations. D. Cash and Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three may may, December 31, 2021 2020, December 31, 2021 2020, E. Investments – The Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and consist of shares held in a mutual fund that invests primarily in investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated short-term fixed and floating rate debt securities. The mutual fund seeks current income while seeking to maintain a low volatility of principal. The Financial Accounting Standards Board established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements by establishing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and defines valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives highest priority to Level I inputs and lowest priority to Level III inputs. The three Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date. Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instrument and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The Company’s investments are carried at fair market value based on quoted prices available in active markets and are therefore classified as Level I. F. Property and Equipment – The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and production activities. Under successful efforts, costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs of development wells (on properties the Company has no not not no Capitalized costs of proved properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values, are amortized by the unit-of-production method based upon estimated proved developed reserves. Depletion, depreciation and amortization on proved properties amounted to $300,390 and $903,226 during 2021 2020, On sale or retirement of a unit of a proved property (which generally constitutes the amortization base), the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and write down are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. Generally accepted accounting principles require that long-lived assets (including oil and gas properties) and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not not not 2021 2020. Pipeline and support equipment and other corporate property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated principally on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (pipeline and support equipment - 10 to 15 years, other corporate equipment - 3 to 7 years, building and improvements - 39 to 40 years). Depreciation on pipeline and support equipment amounted to $68,730 and $66,889 for the years ended December 31, 2021 2020, December 31, 2021 2020, Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, and the assets replaced are retired. G. Asset Retirement Obligations – Generally accepted accounting principles require the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. For the Company, these obligations include dismantlement, plugging and abandonment of crude oil and natural gas wells and associated pipelines and equipment. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its then present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depleted over the estimated useful life of the related asset. The estimated liability is based on historical experience in dismantling, plugging and abandoning wells, estimated remaining lives of those wells based on reserves estimates, estimates of the external cost to dismantle, plug and abandon the wells in the future and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is discounted using an assumed credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Revisions to the liability will likely occur due to: changes in estimates of dismantlement, plugging and abandonment costs, changes in estimated remaining lives of the wells, changes in federal or state regulations regarding plugging and abandonment requirements, and other factors. Gain on disposal of property and equipment includes approximately $687,200 and $1,009,200 of gains associated with non-cash settlements of asset retirement obligations during 2021 2020. The schedule below is a reconciliation of the Company's liability for the years ended December 31: 2021 2020 Beginning of period $ 14,995,400 $ 17,221,632 Liabilities incurred - 2,860 Liabilities settled (745,139 ) (2,472,560 ) Accretion expense 212,410 243,468 End of period $ 14,462,671 $ 14,995,400 H. Revenue Recognition – Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with contractual terms. For the sale of crude oil and natural gas from operated properties, the Company generally considers each unit (BBL or MCF) to be a separate performance obligation. The transaction price may Crude oil and natural gas sales derived from third Crude oil and natural gas sales represent the Company's share of revenues, net of royalties and other revenue interests owned by other parties. When settling crude oil and natural gas sales on behalf of royalty owners or working interest owners, the Company is acting as an agent and thus reports the revenue on a net basis. Based on the Company's judgment, the Company's performance obligations have been satisfied and an unconditional right to consideration exists at December 31, 2021 2020, December 31, 2021 2020, The Company utilizes the sales method to account for gas production volume imbalances. Under this method, revenue is recognized only when gas is produced and sold on the Company’s behalf. The Company had no material gas imbalances at December 31, 2021 2020. The Company frequently participates (and may no I. Income Taxes – Everflow is not not EEI accounts for income taxes under generally accepted accounting principles, which require income taxes be provided for all items (as they relate to EEI) in the consolidated statements of operations regardless of the period when such items are reported for income tax purposes. Therefore, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of certain EEI assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets, recorded with other assets, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The impact on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, is reflected in the financial statements in the period of enactment. Items giving rise to deferred taxes consist primarily of temporary differences arising from differences in financial reporting and tax reporting methods for EEI's proved properties, percentage depletion and general business credits. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken and, as such, does not J. Allocation of Income and Per Unit Data – Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, initially 99% of revenues and costs were allocated to the Unitholders (the limited partners) and 1% of revenues and costs were allocated to the general partner. Such allocation has changed and may 3 Net income (loss) per limited partner Unit have been computed based on the weighted average number of Units outstanding during each year presented. K. New Accounting Standards – The Company has reviewed all recently issued accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on the consolidated financial statements. Based on that review, the Company believes that none |

The estimated future cash flows are determined based on crude oil and natural gas pricing parameters established by generally accepted accounting principles, adjusted for contract terms within contract periods, estimated production of proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, estimated future production and development costs of reserves and future retirement obligations (net of salvage), based on current economic conditions, and the estimated future income tax expense, based on year-end statutory tax rates (with consideration of future tax rates already legislated) to be incurred on pretax net cash flows less the tax basis of the properties involved. Such cash flows are then discounted using a 10% rate.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Organization Principles of Consolidation [Policy Text Block] | A. Organization and Principles of Consolidation – Everflow Eastern Partners, L.P. ("Everflow") is a Delaware limited partnership which was organized in September 1990 Everflow Management Limited, LLC ("EML"), an Ohio limited liability company, is the general partner of Everflow and, as such, is authorized to perform all acts necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes and conduct of the business of Everflow. At December 31, 2021, three one September 1990 nor The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Everflow, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including EEI, and interests with joint venture partners (collectively, the "Company"), which are accounted for under the proportional consolidation method. All significant accounts and transactions between the consolidated entities have been eliminated. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | B. Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("generally accepted accounting principles" or "GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates impacting the Company's financial statements include revenue and expense accruals and oil and gas reserve quantities. In the oil and gas industry, and especially as related to the Company's natural gas sales, the processing of actual transactions generally occurs 60-90 days after the month of delivery of its product. Consequently, accounts receivable from production and crude oil and natural gas sales are recorded using estimated production volumes and market or contract prices. Differences between estimated and actual amounts are recorded in subsequent periods’ financial results. As is typical in the oil and gas industry, a significant portion of the Company's accounts receivable from production and crude oil and natural gas sales consists of unbilled receivables. Oil and gas reserve quantities are utilized in the calculation of depreciation, depletion and amortization and the impairment of crude oil and natural gas properties and also impact the timing and costs associated with asset retirement obligations. The Company's estimates, especially those related to oil and gas reserves, could change in the near term and could significantly impact the Company's results of operations and financial position. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | C. Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The fair values of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other short-term obligations approximate their carrying values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company's long-term obligations approximate their fair value because they are considered to be at current market rates. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, rates available to the Company at the balance sheet dates are used to estimate the fair value of existing obligations. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | D. Cash and Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three may may, December 31, 2021 2020, December 31, 2021 2020, |
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | E. Investments – The Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and consist of shares held in a mutual fund that invests primarily in investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated short-term fixed and floating rate debt securities. The mutual fund seeks current income while seeking to maintain a low volatility of principal. The Financial Accounting Standards Board established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements by establishing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and defines valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives highest priority to Level I inputs and lowest priority to Level III inputs. The three Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date. Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instrument and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The Company’s investments are carried at fair market value based on quoted prices available in active markets and are therefore classified as Level I. |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | F. Property and Equipment – The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and production activities. Under successful efforts, costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs of development wells (on properties the Company has no not not no Capitalized costs of proved properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values, are amortized by the unit-of-production method based upon estimated proved developed reserves. Depletion, depreciation and amortization on proved properties amounted to $300,390 and $903,226 during 2021 2020, On sale or retirement of a unit of a proved property (which generally constitutes the amortization base), the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and write down are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. Generally accepted accounting principles require that long-lived assets (including oil and gas properties) and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not not not 2021 2020. Pipeline and support equipment and other corporate property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated principally on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (pipeline and support equipment - 10 to 15 years, other corporate equipment - 3 to 7 years, building and improvements - 39 to 40 years). Depreciation on pipeline and support equipment amounted to $68,730 and $66,889 for the years ended December 31, 2021 2020, December 31, 2021 2020, Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, and the assets replaced are retired. |
Asset Retirement Obligation [Policy Text Block] | G. Asset Retirement Obligations – Generally accepted accounting principles require the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. For the Company, these obligations include dismantlement, plugging and abandonment of crude oil and natural gas wells and associated pipelines and equipment. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its then present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depleted over the estimated useful life of the related asset. The estimated liability is based on historical experience in dismantling, plugging and abandoning wells, estimated remaining lives of those wells based on reserves estimates, estimates of the external cost to dismantle, plug and abandon the wells in the future and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is discounted using an assumed credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Revisions to the liability will likely occur due to: changes in estimates of dismantlement, plugging and abandonment costs, changes in estimated remaining lives of the wells, changes in federal or state regulations regarding plugging and abandonment requirements, and other factors. Gain on disposal of property and equipment includes approximately $687,200 and $1,009,200 of gains associated with non-cash settlements of asset retirement obligations during 2021 2020. The schedule below is a reconciliation of the Company's liability for the years ended December 31: 2021 2020 Beginning of period $ 14,995,400 $ 17,221,632 Liabilities incurred - 2,860 Liabilities settled (745,139 ) (2,472,560 ) Accretion expense 212,410 243,468 End of period $ 14,462,671 $ 14,995,400 |
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block] | H. Revenue Recognition – Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with contractual terms. For the sale of crude oil and natural gas from operated properties, the Company generally considers each unit (BBL or MCF) to be a separate performance obligation. The transaction price may Crude oil and natural gas sales derived from third Crude oil and natural gas sales represent the Company's share of revenues, net of royalties and other revenue interests owned by other parties. When settling crude oil and natural gas sales on behalf of royalty owners or working interest owners, the Company is acting as an agent and thus reports the revenue on a net basis. Based on the Company's judgment, the Company's performance obligations have been satisfied and an unconditional right to consideration exists at December 31, 2021 2020, December 31, 2021 2020, The Company utilizes the sales method to account for gas production volume imbalances. Under this method, revenue is recognized only when gas is produced and sold on the Company’s behalf. The Company had no material gas imbalances at December 31, 2021 2020. The Company frequently participates (and may no |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | I. Income Taxes – Everflow is not not EEI accounts for income taxes under generally accepted accounting principles, which require income taxes be provided for all items (as they relate to EEI) in the consolidated statements of operations regardless of the period when such items are reported for income tax purposes. Therefore, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of certain EEI assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets, recorded with other assets, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The impact on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, is reflected in the financial statements in the period of enactment. Items giving rise to deferred taxes consist primarily of temporary differences arising from differences in financial reporting and tax reporting methods for EEI's proved properties, percentage depletion and general business credits. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken and, as such, does not |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | J. Allocation of Income and Per Unit Data – Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, initially 99% of revenues and costs were allocated to the Unitholders (the limited partners) and 1% of revenues and costs were allocated to the general partner. Such allocation has changed and may 3 Net income (loss) per limited partner Unit have been computed based on the weighted average number of Units outstanding during each year presented. |
