Overview and Basis of Presentat

Overview and Basis of Presentation	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2020
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Overview and Basis of Presentation	Overview and Basis of Presentation Overview Stabilis Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Stabilis”, “our”, “us” or “we”) produce, market, and sell liquefied natural gas (“LNG”). The Company also resells liquefied natural gas from third parties and provides services, transportation, and equipment to customers. The Company changed its name from Stabilis Energy, Inc. to Stabilis Solutions, Inc. on October 9, 2020. The Company is a supplier of LNG to the industrial, midstream, and oilfield sectors in North America and provides turnkey fuel solutions to help industrial users of propane, diesel and other crude-based fuel products convert to LNG, which may result in reduced fuel costs and improved environmental footprint. Stabilis opened its 100,000 gallons per day (“gpd”) LNG production facility in George West, Texas in January 2015 to service industrial and oilfield customers in Texas and the greater Gulf Coast region. The Company owns a second liquefaction plant capable of producing 25,000 gpd that is currently not in operation. Stabilis is vertically integrated from LNG production through distribution including cryogenic equipment rental and field services. The Company also provides power delivery equipment and services through its subsidiary in Brazil, M&I Electric Brazil Sistemas e Servicios em Energia LTDA (“M&I Brazil”) and its 40% interest in a joint venture in China, BOMAY Electric Industries Co., Ltd. (“BOMAY”). Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries and, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed on March 16, 2020. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), all dollar amounts in tabulations are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is required to make certain disclosures if it concludes that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has negative working capital. The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in the current LNG industry. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has created additional uncertainties regarding the future demand for LNG from our customers. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain itself or to support future growth. These factors were reviewed by management to determine if there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management concluded that its plan to address the Company’s liquidity issues would allow it to continue as a going concern. A number of cost control measures have been implemented, including headcount reductions, temporary salary reductions, travel reductions, elimination of certain consultants, and other measures to adjust to anticipated activity levels and maintain adequate liquidity. Furthermore, the Company has recently seen a resumption of activity with existing customers as well as new revenue opportunities, particularly in Mexico. Accordingly, management believes the business will generate sufficient cash flows from its operations to fund the business for the next 12 months. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. Significant items subject to such estimates include the carrying amount of contingencies, valuation allowances for receivables, inventories, and deferred income tax assets, valuations assigned to assets and liabilities in business combinations, and impairments of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU No. 2017-04”). The new guidance simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendments of ASU No. 2017-04 were adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations, as the adoption is applied on a prospective basis. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (ASU No. 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, Income Taxes and also improves consistent application by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. 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 No. 2020-04”), which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU No. 2020-04 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2020-04 are optional and are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2020-04 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions American Electric Technologies, Inc (“American Electric”). On July 26, 2019, we completed the Share Exchange with American Electric and its subsidiaries and began operating under the name Stabilis Energy, Inc., since changed to Stabilis Solutions, Inc. Because the former owners of Stabilis Energy, LLC owned 88.4% of the voting stock of the combined company immediately following the effective date and certain other factors, including that directors designated by LNG Investment, parent of Stabilis Energy, LLC, constituted a majority of the board of directors, Stabilis Energy, LLC is treated as the acquiror of American Electric in the Share Exchange for accounting purposes. As a result, the Share Exchange is treated by American Electric as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with US GAAP. The aggregate consideration paid in connection with the Share Exchange was allocated to American Electric’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the time of the completion of the Share Exchange. The assets and liabilities and results of operations of American Electric are consolidated into the results of operations of Stabilis as of the completion of the Share Exchange. Consistent with the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of American Electric based on their estimated fair values as of the Share Exchange closing date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill and is attributable to strategic advantages gained from the acquisition of a public entity with access to LNG markets in Brazil and China. All of the goodwill is assigned to the Power Delivery segment and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Diversenergy, LLC (“Diversenergy”). On August 20, 2019, we completed our acquisition of Diversenergy and its subsidiaries. We purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Diversenergy for total consideration of 684,963 shares of Company common stock valued at $3.0 million as of the closing date and $2.0 million in cash, subject to adjustments for Diversenergy’s net working capital as of the closing date. Diversenergy specializes in LNG distribution, providing LNG to customers which use it as a fuel in mobile high horsepower applications and to customers which do not have natural gas pipeline access. The completion of the acquisition will expand the Company's presence in the distributed LNG and compressed natural gas (“CNG”) markets in Mexico. Consistent with the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Diversenergy based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill and is attributable to the strategic opportunities to grow the Company's LNG and CNG business in Mexico.

In accordance with the People’s Republic of China, (“PRC”), regulations on enterprises with foreign ownership, an enterprise established in the PRC with foreign ownership is required to provide for certain statutory reserves, namely (i) General Reserve Fund, (ii) Enterprise Expansion Fund and (iii) Staff Welfare and Bonus Fund, which are appropriated from net profit as reported in the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. A non-wholly-owned foreign invested enterprise is permitted to provide for the above allocation at the discretion of its board of directors. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends. (2) The Company’s initial investment in BOMAY differed from the Company’s 40% share of BOMAY’s equity as a result of applying fair value accounting pursuant to ASC 805. The basis difference of approximately $1.2 million will be accreted over the remaining eight The Company accounts for its investment in BOMAY using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the joint venture operations earnings or losses is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as equity income (loss) from foreign joint venture operations. Joint venture income increases the carrying value of the joint venture and joint venture losses reduce the carrying value. Dividends received from the joint venture reduce the carrying value. In accordance with our long-lived asset policy, when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, management tests long-lived assets for impairment. If the estimated future cash flows are projected to be less than the carrying amount, an impairment write-down (representing the carrying amount of the long-lived asset which exceeds the present value of estimated expected future cash flows) would be recorded as a period expense. In making this evaluation, a variety of quantitative and qualitative factors are considered including national and local economic, political and market conditions, industry trends and prospects, liquidity and capital resources and other pertinent factors. Based on this evaluation for this reporting period, the Company does not believe an impairment adjustment is necessary at September 30, 2020.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Matters The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. The Company does not anticipate any expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations that would have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company believes that its operations comply, in all material respects, with applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Litigation, Claims and Contingencies The Company carries liability insurance to cover its liability to third parties arising out of the operation of its vehicles and equipment and the limits are sufficient to cover any likely final judgment and to pay the cost of defending the cases. The Company may become party to various legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of its business that are not covered by liability insurance. The Company is also subject to audit by tax and other authorities for varying periods in various federal, state and local jurisdictions, and disputes may arise during the course of these audits. It is impossible to determine the ultimate liabilities that the Company may incur resulting from any of these lawsuits, claims, proceedings, audits, commitments, contingencies and related matters or the timing of these liabilities, if any. If these matters were to ultimately be resolved unfavorably, it is possible that such an outcome could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company, does not, however, anticipate such an outcome and it believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Additionally, the Company currently expenses all legal costs as they are incurred. In October 2018, American Electric received notification of a potential liability of $4.3 million associated with an asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all of its U.S. business assets and operations to Myers Power Products, Inc. (“Myers”). The contractual terms of the agreement included a provision for true-up of the net working capital, estimated as of the date of closing, to actual working capital as calculated by Myers and agreed to by American Electric. Any difference in the actual (conclusive) net working capital in relation to the estimated working capital at closing results in an adjustment to the purchase price. American Electric received notification from Myers of their actual working capital calculation. In the notification, Myers communicated a decrease of approximately $4.3 million in net working capital, in comparison to the estimated working capital used at contract closing. The contractual terms of the transaction provided that in the event Myers and American Electric could not agree to a conclusive net working capital adjustment, then all items remaining in dispute shall be submitted by either one of the parties within thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of the resolution period to a national or regional independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Myers and American Electric (the “Neutral Arbitrator”). The Neutral Arbitrator shall act as an arbitrator to determine the conclusive net working capital. The conclusive net working capital, once determined, may result in a purchase price adjustment due to Myers or to the Company. As of September 30, 2020, there have not been any updates to the potential liability. The Company is working with legal counsel to resolve the matter. The Company believes the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. In January of 2020, the Company received notification that its subsidiary, M&I Electric Industries, Inc. (“M&I”) has been named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit “Pelton Ray Barrett, et al. v. Arkema, Inc., et al.” as the result of a fire on August 31, 2017, on a site owned or operated by Arkema, Inc. allegedly resulting in chemical exposure. Other defendants in the suit, including M&I are alleged to have been responsible for the installation, repair, design, and/or maintenance of the electrical, refrigeration and environmental systems required to mitigate damages from the release of chemicals. The Company, through its insurance providers, has engaged outside legal counsel to defend against these claims. The Company believes the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company records income taxes for interim periods based on an estimated annual effective tax rate. The estimated annual effective tax rate is recomputed on a quarterly basis and may fluctuate due to changes in forecasted annual operating income, positive or negative changes to the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets, the timing of distributions on foreign investments from which foreign taxes are withheld, and changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively. The 2020 rate reflects state and foreign income taxes and the Company’s deferred federal income tax benefit generated from an expected net operating loss, offset by a change in the valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets.

Overview and Basis of Present_2

Overview and Basis of Presentation (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2020
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Overview	Overview Stabilis Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Stabilis”, “our”, “us” or “we”) produce, market, and sell liquefied natural gas (“LNG”). The Company also resells liquefied natural gas from third parties and provides services, transportation, and equipment to customers. The Company changed its name from Stabilis Energy, Inc. to Stabilis Solutions, Inc. on October 9, 2020.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries and, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed on March 16, 2020. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), all dollar amounts in tabulations are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is required to make certain disclosures if it concludes that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has negative working capital. The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in the current LNG industry. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has created additional uncertainties regarding the future demand for LNG from our customers. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain itself or to support future growth. These factors were reviewed by management to determine if there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management concluded that its plan to address the Company’s liquidity issues would allow it to continue as a going concern. A number of cost control measures have been implemented, including headcount reductions, temporary salary reductions, travel reductions, elimination of certain consultants, and other measures to adjust to anticipated activity levels and maintain adequate liquidity. Furthermore, the Company has recently seen a resumption of activity with existing customers as well as new revenue opportunities, particularly in Mexico. Accordingly, management believes the business will generate sufficient cash flows from its operations to fund the business for the next 12 months.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. Significant items subject to such estimates include the carrying amount of contingencies, valuation allowances for receivables, inventories, and deferred income tax assets, valuations assigned to assets and liabilities in business combinations, and impairments of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU No. 2017-04”). The new guidance simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendments of ASU No. 2017-04 were adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations, as the adoption is applied on a prospective basis. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (ASU No. 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, Income Taxes and also improves consistent application by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. 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 No. 2020-04”), which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU No. 2020-04 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2020-04 are optional and are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2020-04 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
