Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Operations SM Energy Company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“SM Energy” or the “Company”), is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of oil, gas, and NGLs in the State of Texas. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Regulation S-X. These financial statements do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2019 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date of March 31, 2020 , and through the filing of this report. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2019 Form 10-K and are supplemented by the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2019 Form 10-K. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 was issued to reduce the complexity of accounting for income taxes for those entities that fall within the scope of the accounting standard. The guidance is to be applied using a prospective method, excluding amendments related to franchise taxes, which should be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2020, and there was no material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures upon adoption. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 was issued to provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. Generally, the guidance is to be applied as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the options provided by ASU 2020-04. Please refer to Note 5 - Long-Term Debt for discussion of the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) in connection with borrowings under the Credit Agreement. As disclosed in the 2019 Form 10-K, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract on January 1, 2020. As expected, there was no material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures upon adoption of these ASUs. There are no ASUs that would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures that have been issued but not yet adopted by the Company as of March 31, 2020 , and through the filing of this report. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company recognizes its share of revenue from the sale of produced oil, gas, and NGLs from its Midland Basin and South Texas assets. Oil, gas, and NGL production revenue presented within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations (“accompanying statements of operations”) is reflective of the revenue generated from contracts with customers. The table below presents oil, gas, and NGL production revenue by product type for each of the Company’s operating regions for the three months ended March 31, 2020 , and 2019 : Midland Basin South Texas Total Three Months Ended March 31, Three Months Ended March 31, Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in thousands) Oil production revenue $ 276,136 $ 225,247 $ 15,557 $ 13,814 $ 291,693 $ 239,061 Gas production revenue 11,334 15,592 29,376 49,521 40,710 65,113 NGL production revenue 58 21 21,772 36,281 21,830 36,302 Total $ 287,528 $ 240,860 $ 66,705 $ 99,616 $ 354,233 $ 340,476 Relative percentage 81 % 71 % 19 % 29 % 100 % 100 % ____________________________________________ Note: Amounts may not calculate due to rounding. The Company recognizes oil, gas, and NGL production revenue at the point in time when custody and title (“control”) of the product transfers to the purchaser, which differs depending on the applicable contractual terms. Transfer of control drives the presentation of transportation, gathering, processing, and other post-production expenses (“fees and other deductions”) within the accompanying statements of operations. Fees and other deductions incurred by the Company prior to control transfer are recorded within the oil, gas, and NGL production expense line item on the accompanying statements of operations. When control is transferred at or near the wellhead, sales are based on a wellhead market price that is impacted by fees and other deductions incurred by the purchaser subsequent to the transfer of control. Please refer to Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers in the 2019 Form 10-K for more information regarding the types of contracts under which oil, gas, and NGL production revenue is generated. Significant judgments made in applying the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, relate to the point in time when control transfers to purchasers in gas processing arrangements with midstream processors. The Company does not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including amounts that represent variable consideration, as volume and price carry a low level of estimation uncertainty given the precision of volumetric measurements and the use of index pricing with generally predictable differentials. Accordingly, the Company does not consider estimates of variable consideration to be constrained. The Company’s performance obligations arise upon the production of hydrocarbons from wells in which the Company has an ownership interest. The performance obligations are considered satisfied upon control transferring to a purchaser at the wellhead, inlet, or tailgate of the midstream processor’s processing facility, or other contractually specified delivery point. The time period between production and satisfaction of performance obligations is generally less than one day; thus, there are no material unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period. Revenue is recorded in the month when performance obligations are satisfied. However, settlement statements from the purchasers of hydrocarbons and the related cash consideration are received 30 to 90 days after production has occurred. As a result, the Company must estimate the amount of production delivered to the customer and the consideration that will ultimately be received for sale of the product. Estimated revenue due to the Company is recorded within the accounts receivable line item on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (“accompanying balance sheets”) until payment is received. The accounts receivable balances from contracts with customers within the accompanying balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 , and December 31, 2019 , were $62.0 million and $146.3 million , respectively. To estimate accounts receivable from contracts with customers, the Company uses knowledge of its properties, historical performance, contractual arrangements, index pricing, quality and transportation differentials, and other factors as the basis for these estimates. Differences between estimates and actual amounts received for product sales are recorded in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. |

Divestitures, Assets Held for Sale, and Acquisitions | Note 3 - Divestitures, Assets Held for Sale, and Acquisitions Divestitures No material divestitures occurred during the first quarters of 2020 and 2019 , and there were no assets classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2020 , or December 31, 2019 . Acquisitions No material acquisitions or acreage trades of oil and gas properties occurred during the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2019 , the Company completed several non-monetary acreage trades of primarily undeveloped properties located in Howard, Martin, and Midland Counties, Texas, resulting in the exchange of approximately 2,000 net acres, with $65.8 million of carrying value attributed to the properties transferred by the Company. These trades were recorded at carryover basis with no gain or loss recognized. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Note 4 - Income Taxes The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 , and 2019 , consisted of the following: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 (in thousands) Current portion of income tax (expense) benefit: Federal $ — $ — State (339 ) (965 ) Deferred portion of income tax benefit 99,347 47,003 Income tax benefit $ 99,008 $ 46,038 Effective tax rate 19.4 % 20.6 % Recorded income tax expense or benefit differs from the amounts that would be provided by applying the statutory United States federal income tax rate to income or loss before income taxes. These differences primarily relate to the effect of state income taxes, excess tax benefits and deficiencies from stock-based compensation awards, tax limitations on the compensation of covered individuals, changes in valuation allowances, and the cumulative impact of other smaller permanent differences. The quarterly rate can also be affected by the proportional impacts of forecasted net income or loss for each period presented, as reflected in the table above. A change in the Company’s effective tax rate between reporting periods will generally reflect differences in estimating permanent differences compared to changes in forecasted net income or loss. Each quarter, the Company evaluates its deferred tax assets for potential realization, weighing both positive and negative evidence to determine, on a more likely than not basis, the future utilization by asset and jurisdiction. When the significance of negative evidence outweighs the Company’s positive support of realization, a valuation allowance is recorded. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020. The primary feature of the CARES Act that the Company will benefit from is the acceleration of its refundable Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) credits. On April 1, 2020, the Company filed an election to accelerate its remaining refundable AMT credits of $7.6 million that are expected to be received during the second quarter of 2020. For all years before 2015, the Company is generally no longer subject to United States federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Long-Term Debt | Note 5 - Long-Term Debt Credit Agreement On April 29, 2020 , the Company and its lenders entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Third Amendment”). The Company’s Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maximum loan amount of $2.5 billion . Also on April 29, 2020 , as a result of the regular semi-annual borrowing base redetermination, the borrowing base and aggregate lender commitments were both reduced to $1.1 billion due to a decrease in the value of proved reserves driven by decreased commodity pricing. The Third Amendment permits the Company to incur second lien debt of up to $900.0 million (“Permitted Lien Debt”) prior to the next scheduled redetermination date of October 1, 2020 , provided that all principal amounts of such debt are used to redeem unsecured senior debt of the Company for less than or equal to par value. Additionally, the Third Amendment reduces the limit on the amount of dividends that the Company may declare and pay on an annual basis from $50.0 million to $12.0 million . The Third Amendment also amends certain other covenants of the Company in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on September 28, 2023 , except that, pursuant to the Third Amendment, upon the Company’s incurrence of Permitted Lien Debt to redeem the 6.125% Senior Notes due 2022 (“2022 Senior Notes”), the maturity date under the Credit Agreement will be July 2, 2023. Without regard to which maturity date is in effect, the maturity date could occur earlier on August 16, 2022, if the Company has not completed certain repurchase, redemption, or refinancing activities associated with its 2022 Senior Notes, and does not have certain unused availability for borrowing under the Credit Agreement, as outlined in the Credit Agreement and the Third Amendment. The Company must comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants under the terms of the Credit Agreement and was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2020 , and through the filing of this report. Interest and commitment fees associated with the revolving credit facility are accrued based on a borrowing base utilization grid set forth in the Credit Agreement. The borrowing base utilization grid was amended by the Third Amendment as presented in the table below. Please refer to Note 5 - Long-Term Debt in the 2019 Form 10-K for the utilization grid in effect prior to the Third Amendment. At the Company’s election, borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be in the form of Eurodollar, Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”), or Swingline loans. Eurodollar loans accrue interest at LIBOR, plus the applicable margin from the utilization grid, and ABR and Swingline loans accrue interest at a market-based floating rate, plus the applicable margin from the utilization grid. Commitment fees are accrued on the unused portion of the aggregate lender commitment amount at rates from the utilization grid and are included in the interest expense line item on the accompanying statements of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies | Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies Commitments Other than those items discussed below, there have been no changes in commitments through the filing of this report that differ materially from those disclosed in the 2019 Form 10-K. Please refer to Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies in the 2019 Form 10-K for additional discussion of the Company’s commitments. Subsequent to March 31, 2020 , the Company amended certain of its drilling rig contracts resulting in the reduction of day rates and potential early termination fees and the extension of contract terms. As of the filing of this report, the Company’s drilling rig commitments totaled $22.3 million . If all of these contracts were terminated as of the filing of this report, the Company would avoid a portion of the contractual service commitments; however, the Company would be required to pay $12.9 million in early termination fees. The Company does not expect to incur material penalties with regard to its drilling rig contracts. Subsequent to March 31, 2020 , the Company entered into an agreement that included minimum drilling and completion footage requirements on certain existing leases. If these minimum requirements are not satisfied by March 31, 2021, the Company would be required to pay liquidated damages based on the difference between the actual footage drilled and completed and the minimum requirements. The liquidated damages could range from zero to a maximum of $42.0 million , with the maximum exposure assuming no development activity occurred prior to March 31, 2021 . As of the filing of this report, the Company expects to meet its obligations under this agreement. Contingencies The Company is subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, the anticipated results of any pending litigation and claims are not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations, the financial position, or the cash flows of the Company. |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Compensation Plans | Note 7 - Compensation Plans Equity Incentive Compensation Plan As of March 31, 2020 , 4.5 million shares of common stock were available for grant under the Company’s Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (“Equity Plan”). Performance Share Units The Company grants performance share units (“PSUs”) to eligible employees as part of its Equity Plan. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued to settle PSUs ranges from zero to two times the number of PSUs awarded and is determined based on certain performance criteria over a three -year performance period. PSUs generally vest on the third anniversary of the date of the grant or upon other triggering events as set forth in the Equity Plan. For PSUs granted in 2017, which the Company has determined to be equity awards, the settlement criteria include a combination of the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) on an absolute basis, and the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of certain peer companies over the associated three -year performance period. The fair value of the PSUs granted in 2017 was measured on the grant date using a stochastic Monte Carlo simulation using geometric Brownian motion (“GBM Model”). As these awards depend entirely on market-based settlement criteria, the associated compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis within general and administrative expense and exploration expense over the vesting periods of the respective awards. For PSUs granted in 2018 and 2019, the settlement criteria include a combination of the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of certain peer companies and the Company’s cash return on total capital invested (“CRTCI”) relative to the CRTCI of certain peer companies over the associated three-year performance period. In addition to these performance measures, the award agreements for these grants also stipulate that if the Company’s absolute TSR is negative over the three-year performance period, the maximum number of shares of common stock that can be issued to settle outstanding PSUs is capped at one times the number of PSUs granted on the award date, regardless of the Company’s TSR and CRTCI performance relative to its peer group. The fair value of the PSUs granted in 2018 and 2019 was measured on the applicable grant dates using the GBM Model, with the assumption that the associated CRTCI performance condition will be met at the target amount at the end of the respective performance periods. Compensation expense for PSUs granted in 2018 and 2019 is recognized within general and administrative expense and exploration expense over the vesting periods of the respective awards. As these awards depend on a combination of performance-based settlement criteria and market-based settlement criteria, compensation expense may be adjusted in future periods as the number of units expected to vest increases or decreases based on the Company’s expected CRTCI performance relative to the applicable peer companies. The Company records compensation expense associated with the issuance of PSUs based on the fair value of the awards as of the date of grant. Total compensation expense recorded for PSUs was $2.6 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 , and 2019 , respectively. As of March 31, 2020 , there was $12.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested PSU awards, which is being amortized through 2022 . There have been no material changes to the outstanding and non-vested PSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2020 . Employee Restricted Stock Units The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to eligible persons as part of its Equity Plan. Each RSU represents a right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon settlement of the award at the end of the specified vesting period. RSUs generally vest one-third of the total grant on each anniversary date of the grant over a three -year vesting period or upon other triggering events as set forth in the Equity Plan. The Company records compensation expense associated with the issuance of RSUs based on the fair value of the awards as of the date of grant. The fair value of an RSU is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day of the grant. Compensation expense for RSUs is recognized within general and administrative expense and exploration expense over the vesting periods of the respective awards. Total compensation expense recorded for employee RSUs was $2.6 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 , and 2019 , respectively. As of March 31, 2020 , there was $13.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested RSU awards, which is being amortized through 2022 . There have been no material changes to the outstanding and non-vested RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2020 . Please refer to Note 7 - Compensation Plans in the 2019 Form 10-K for additional detail on the Company’s Equity Plan. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per Share | Note 9 - Earnings Per Share Basic net income or loss per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net income or loss per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities for this calculation consist primarily of non-vested RSUs, contingent PSUs, and shares into which the Senior Convertible Notes are convertible, which are measured using the treasury stock method. Shares of the Company’s common stock traded at an average closing price below the $40.50 conversion price for the three months ended March 31, 2020 , and 2019 , therefore, the Senior Convertible Notes had no dilutive impact. Please refer to Note 9 - Earnings Per Share in the 2019 Form 10-K for additional detail on these potentially dilutive securities. When the Company recognizes a net loss from continuing operations, all potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and are consequently excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Note 10 - Derivative Financial Instruments Summary of Oil, Gas, and NGL Derivative Contracts in Place The Company has entered into various commodity derivative contracts to mitigate a portion of its exposure to potentially adverse market changes in commodity prices and the associated impact on cash flows. As of March 31, 2020 , all derivative counterparties were members of the Company’s Credit Agreement lender group and all contracts were entered into for other-than-trading purposes. The Company’s commodity derivative contracts consist of swap and collar arrangements for oil production, and swap arrangements for gas and NGL production. In a typical commodity swap agreement, if the agreed upon published third-party index price (“index price”) is lower than the swap fixed price, the Company receives the difference between the index price and the agreed upon swap fixed price. If the index price is higher than the swap fixed price, the Company pays the difference. For collar arrangements, the Company receives the difference between an agreed upon index price and the floor price if the index price is below the floor price. The Company pays the difference between the agreed upon ceiling price and the index price if the index price is above the ceiling price. No amounts are paid or received if the index price is between the floor and ceiling prices. The Company has also entered into fixed price oil basis swaps in order to mitigate exposure to adverse pricing differentials between certain industry benchmark prices and the actual physical pricing points where the Company’s production volumes are sold. Currently, the Company has basis swap contracts with fixed price differentials between New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) WTI and WTI Midland for a portion of its Midland Basin production with sales contracts that settle at WTI Midland prices. The Company also has basis swaps with fixed price differentials between NYMEX WTI and Intercontinental Exchange Brent Crude (“ICE Brent”) for a portion of its Midland Basin oil production with sales contracts that settle at ICE Brent prices. As of March 31, 2020 , the Company had commodity derivative contracts outstanding through the fourth quarter of 2022 as summarized in the tables below.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities Fair Value The Company’s commodity derivatives are measured at fair value and are included in the accompanying balance sheets as derivative assets and liabilities, with the exception of derivative instruments that meet the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion. The Company does not designate its derivative commodity contracts as hedging instruments. The fair value of the commodity derivative contracts was a net asset of $493.4 million and $21.5 million as of March 31, 2020 , and December 31, 2019 , respectively. The following table details the fair value of commodity derivative contracts recorded in the accompanying balance sheets, by category: As of March 31, 2020 As of December 31, 2019 (in thousands) Derivative assets: Current assets $ 463,992 $ 55,184 Noncurrent assets 44,909 20,624 Total derivative assets $ 508,901 $ 75,808 Derivative liabilities: Current liabilities $ 8,277 $ 50,846 Noncurrent liabilities 7,202 3,444 Total derivative liabilities $ 15,479 $ 54,290 Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities As of March 31, 2020 , and December 31, 2019 , all derivative instruments held by the Company were subject to master netting arrangements with various financial institutions. In general, the terms of the Company’s agreements provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between it and the counterparty, at the election of both parties, for transactions that settle on the same date and in the same currency. The Company’s agreements also provide that in the event of an early termination, the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty. The Company’s accounting policy is to not offset these positions in its accompanying balance sheets. The following table provides a reconciliation between the gross assets and liabilities reflected on the accompanying balance sheets and the potential effects of master netting arrangements on the fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative contracts: Derivative Assets as of Derivative Liabilities as of March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (in thousands) Gross amounts presented in the accompanying balance sheets $ 508,901 $ 75,808 $ (15,479 ) $ (54,290 ) Amounts not offset in the accompanying balance sheets (15,479 ) (35,075 ) 15,479 35,075 Net amounts $ 493,422 $ 40,733 $ — $ (19,215 ) The following table summarizes the commodity components of the derivative settlement (gain) loss, as well as the components of the net derivative (gain) loss line item presented in the accompanying statements of operations: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 (in thousands) Derivative settlement (gain) loss: Oil contracts $ (53,582 ) $ 1,369 Gas contracts (14,625 ) 4,134 NGL contracts (5,230 ) (534 ) Total derivative settlement (gain) loss $ (73,437 ) $ 4,969 Net derivative (gain) loss: Oil contracts $ (542,540 ) $ 185,797 Gas contracts 6,728 (6,113 ) NGL contracts (9,528 ) (2,603 ) Total net derivative (gain) loss $ (545,340 ) $ 177,081 Credit Related Contingent Features As of March 31, 2020 , and through the filing of this report, all of the Company’s derivative counterparties were members of the Company’s Credit Agreement lender group. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to provide mortgage liens on assets having a value equal to at least 85 percent of the total PV-9, as defined in the Credit Agreement, of the Company’s proved oil and gas properties evaluated in the most recent reserve report. Collateral securing indebtedness under the Credit Agreement also secures the Company’s derivative agreement obligations. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures | Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements The Company follows fair value measurement accounting guidance for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value. This 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. Market or observable inputs are the preferred sources of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. The fair value hierarchy for grouping these assets and liabilities is based on the significance level of the following inputs: • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 – quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable • Level 3 – significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable The following table is a listing of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in the accompanying balance sheets and where they are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2020 : Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in thousands) Assets: Derivatives (1) $ — $ 508,901 $ — Total property and equipment, net (2) $ — $ — $ 380,734 Liabilities: Derivatives (1) $ — $ 15,479 $ — __________________________________________ (1) This represents a financial asset or liability that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. (2) This represents a non-financial asset that is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The following table is a listing of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in the accompanying balance sheets and where they are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2019 : Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in thousands) Assets: Derivatives (1) $ — $ 75,808 $ — Liabilities: Derivatives (1) $ — $ 54,290 $ — ____________________________________________ (1) This represents a financial asset or liability that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are categorized within the above fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the above fair value hierarchy. Derivatives The Company uses Level 2 inputs to measure the fair value of oil, gas, and NGL commodity derivatives. Fair values are based upon interpolated data. The Company derives internal valuation estimates taking into consideration forward commodity price curves, counterparties’ credit ratings, the Company’s credit rating, and the time value of money. These valuations are then compared to the respective counterparties’ mark-to-market statements. The considered factors result in an estimated exit price that management believes provides a reasonable and consistent methodology for valuing derivative instruments. The commodity derivative instruments utilized by the Company are not considered by management to be complex, structured, or illiquid. The oil, gas, and NGL commodity derivative markets are highly active. Please refer to Note 10 - Derivative Financial Instruments , and to Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements in the 2019 Form 10-K for more information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments. Oil and Gas Properties and Other Property and Equipment Amounts reflected in the total property and equipment, net line item, measured at fair value within the accompanying balance sheets totaled $380.7 million as of March 31, 2020 . The Company had no assets included in total property and equipment, net, measured at fair value as of December 31, 2019 . Proved oil and gas properties . Proved oil and gas property costs are evaluated for impairment and reduced to fair value when there is an indication that associated carrying costs may not be recoverable. The Company uses an income valuation technique, which converts future cash flows to a single present value amount, to measure the fair value of proved properties using a discount rate, price and cost forecasts, and certain reserve risk-adjustment factors, as selected by the Company’s management. The Company uses a discount rate that represents a current market-based weighted average cost of capital. The prices for oil and gas are forecast based on NYMEX strip pricing, adjusted for basis differentials, for the first five years, after which a flat terminal price is used for each commodity stream. The prices for NGLs are forecasted using Oil Price Information Service (“OPIS”) Mont Belvieu pricing, for as long as the market is actively trading, after which a flat terminal price is used. Future operating costs are also adjusted as deemed appropriate for these estimates. Certain undeveloped reserve estimates are also risk-adjusted given the risk to related projected cash flows due to performance and exploitation uncertainties. Other Property and Equipment. Other property and equipment costs are evaluated for impairment and reduced to fair value when there is an indication the carrying costs may not be recoverable. To measure the fair value of other property and equipment, the Company uses an income valuation technique or market approach depending on the quality of information available to support management’s assumptions and the circumstances. The valuation includes consideration of the proved and unproved assets supported by the property and equipment, future cash flows associated with the assets, and fixed costs necessary to operate and maintain the assets. As a result of the decrease in commodity price forecasts at the end of the first quarter of 2020, specifically decreases in oil and NGL prices, the Company recorded impairment expense of $956.7 million related to its South Texas proved oil and gas properties and related support facilities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 . The Company used a discount rate of 11 percent in its calculation of the present value of expected future cash flows based on the prevailing market-based weighted average cost of capital as of March 31, 2020 . No proved property impairment expense was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019 . The following table presents impairment of oil and gas properties expense and abandonment and impairment of unproved properties expense recorded for the periods presented: For the Three Months Ended 2020 2019 (in millions) Impairment of proved oil and gas properties and related support equipment $ 956.7 $ — Abandonment and impairment of unproved properties (1) 33.1 6.3 Impairment $ 989.8 $ 6.3 ____________________________________________ (1) These impairments related to actual and anticipated lease expirations, as well as actual and anticipated losses on acreage due to title defects, changes in development plans, and other inherent acreage risks. The balances in the unproved oil and gas properties line item on the accompanying balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 , and December 31, 2019 , are recorded at carrying value.

Lessee Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Leases | Note 12 - Leases ASC Topic 842 - Leases (“Topic 842”), requires lessees to recognize operating and finance leases with terms greater than 12 months on the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2020 , the Company did not have any agreements in place that were classified as finance leases under Topic 842. Arrangements classified as operating leases are included on the accompanying balance sheets within the other noncurrent assets, other current liabilities, and other noncurrent liabilities line items. As outlined in Topic 842, an ROU asset represents a lessee’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, while the associated lease liability represents the lessee’s obligations to make lease payments. At the commencement date, which is the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee, a lease ROU asset and corresponding lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments. Excluded from the initial measurement are certain variable lease payments, which for the Company’s drilling rigs, completion crews, and midstream agreements, may be a significant component of the total lease costs. Subsequent to initial measurement, costs associated with the Company’s operating leases are either expensed on the accompanying statements of operations or capitalized on the accompanying balance sheets depending on the nature and use of the underlying ROU asset and in accordance with GAAP requirements. Please refer to Note 12 - Leases in the 2019 Form 10-K for more information regarding the Company's policy on leases, and assumptions and judgments made in the initial and subsequent measurement of lease ROU assets and corresponding liabilities. Currently, the Company has operating leases for asset classes that include office space, office equipment, drilling rigs, midstream agreements, vehicles, and equipment rentals used in field operations. For those operating leases included on the accompanying balance sheets, which only includes leases with terms greater than 12 months at commencement, remaining lease terms range from less than one year to approximately six years . The weighted-average lease term remaining for these leases is approximately three years . Certain leases also contain optional extension periods that allow for terms to be extended for up to an additional ten years . An early termination option also exists for certain leases, some of which allow for the Company to terminate a lease within one year. Exercising an early termination option may also result in an early termination penalty depending on the terms of the underlying agreement. Based on expectations for those agreements with early termination options, there are no leases in which material early termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 , and 2019 , total costs related to operating leases, including short-term leases, and variable lease payments made for leases with initial lease terms greater than 12 months, were $72.7 million and $175.3 million , respectively. These totals do not reflect amounts that may be reimbursed by other third parties in the normal course of business, such as non-operating working interest owners. Components of the Company’s total lease cost, whether capitalized or expensed, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 , and 2019 , consisted of the following: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 (in thousands) Operating lease cost $ 6,834 $ 8,979 Short-term lease cost (1) 43,572 134,917 Variable lease cost (2) 22,334 31,408 Total lease cost $ 72,740 $ 175,304 ____________________________________________ (1) Costs associated with short-term lease agreements relate primarily to operational activities where underlying lease terms are less than one year. This amount is significant as it includes drilling and completion activities and field equipment rentals, most of which are contracted for 12 months or less. It is expected that this amount will fluctuate primarily with the number of drilling rigs and completion crews the Company is operating under short-term agreements. (2) Variable lease payments include additional payments made that were not included in the initial measurement of the ROU asset and corresponding liability for lease agreements with terms longer than 12 months. Variable lease payments relate to the actual volumes transported under certain midstream agreements, actual usage associated with drilling rigs, completion crews, and vehicles, and variable utility costs associated with the Company’s leased office space. Fluctuations in variable lease payments are driven by actual volumes delivered and the number of drilling rigs and completion crews operating under long-term agreements. Other information related to the Company’s leases for the three months ended March 31, 2020 , and 2019 , was as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 (in thousands) Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 3,046 $ 2,952 Investing cash flows from operating leases $ 3,980 $ 6,182 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities $ — $ 12,191 Maturities for the Company’s operating lease liabilities included on the accompanying balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 , were as follows: As of March 31, 2020 (in thousands) 2020 (remaining after March 31, 2020) $ 13,997 2021 12,541 2022 5,745 2023 3,602 2024 2,081 Thereafter 1,640 Total Lease payments $ 39,606 Less: Imputed interest (1) (3,816 ) Total $ 35,790 ____________________________________________ (1) The weighted-average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability as of March 31, 2020 , was 6.7 percent . Amounts recorded on the accompanying balance sheets for operating leases as of March 31, 2020 , and December 31, 2019 , were as follows: As of March 31, 2020 As of December 31, 2019 (in thousands) Other noncurrent assets $ 33,365 $ 39,717 Other current liabilities $ 15,780 $ 19,189 Other noncurrent liabilities $ 20,010 $ 23,137 As of March 31, 2020 , and through the filing of this report, the Company has no material lease arrangements which are scheduled to commence in the future. |

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 was issued to reduce the complexity of accounting for income taxes for those entities that fall within the scope of the accounting standard. The guidance is to be applied using a prospective method, excluding amendments related to franchise taxes, which should be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2020, and there was no material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures upon adoption. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 was issued to provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. Generally, the guidance is to be applied as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the options provided by ASU 2020-04. Please refer to Note 5 - Long-Term Debt for discussion of the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) in connection with borrowings under the Credit Agreement. As disclosed in the 2019 Form 10-K, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract on January 1, 2020. As expected, there was no material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures upon adoption of these ASUs. There are no ASUs that would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures that have been issued but not yet adopted by the Company as of March 31, 2020 , and through the filing of this report. |

Variable lease payments relate to the actual volumes transported under certain midstream agreements, actual usage associated with drilling rigs, completion crews, and vehicles, and variable utility costs associated with the Company’s leased office space. Fluctuations in variable lease payments are driven by actual volumes delivered and the number of drilling rigs and completion crews operating under long-term agreements.

[1] | (1) Costs associated with short-term lease agreements relate primarily to operational activities where underlying lease terms are less than one year. This amount is significant as it includes drilling and completion activities and field equipment rentals, most of which are contracted for 12 months or less. It is expected that this amount will fluctuate primarily with the number of drilling rigs and completion crews the Company is operating under short-term agreements. | ||
[2] | (2) Variable lease payments include additional payments made that were not included in the initial measurement of the ROU asset and corresponding liability for lease agreements with terms longer than 12 months. Variable lease payments relate to the actual volumes transported under certain midstream agreements, actual usage associated with drilling rigs, completion crews, and vehicles, and variable utility costs associated with the Company’s leased office space. Fluctuations in variable lease payments are driven by actual volumes delivered and the number of drilling rigs and completion crews operating under long-term agreements. |
