Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Houston American Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for a complete financial presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes, which are included as part of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (HAEC Louisiana E&P, Inc., HAEC Oklahoma E&P, Inc., and HAEC Caddo Lake E&P, Inc.). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Liquidity and Capital Requirements The accompanying 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 for the twelve-month period following the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company has incurred continuing losses since 2011, including a loss of approximately $239,620 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. However, during 2018, the Company raised, net of offering costs, approximately $747,000 in its ATM offering, and substantially reduced its general and administrative costs, increased revenues, and generated approximately $361,000 from its operating activities, thereby mitigating going concern considerations. Further, as of March 31, 2019, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $446,000 and working capital of approximately $566,000. The Company’s principal capital and exploration expenditures during 2019 are expected to relate to drilling an additional well on its Yoakum County lease and, possibly, on its Reeves County acreage. The operator in Yoakum County has committed to drill a second well during 2019 at an approximate cost to the Company of $325,000. The Company believes that it has the ability to fund its cost for such a well from cash on hand. The new operator of the Company’s Reeves County wells has not yet communicated definitive plans to drill an additional well on that acreage in 2019. If they proceed with drilling plan for an additional well, the Company may require additional capital to participate in the drilling of that well. The Company believes that it has sufficient cash on hand to fund its expected drilling operations and its operations for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. In the event that the Company requires additional capital to fund its share of costs for drilling wells during 2019, the Company expects that it would seek additional capital from one or more sources of additional sales of shares in its 2019 ATM Offering and private sales of equity and debt securities. However, there can be no assurance that the Company can secure the necessary capital to fund its share of drilling, acquisition or other costs on acceptable terms or at all. If, for any reason, the Company is unable to fund its share of drilling and completion costs, it would forego participation in one or more of such wells. In such event, the Company may be subject to penalties or to the possible loss of some of its rights and interests in prospects with respect to which it fails to satisfy funding obligations and it may be required to curtail operations and forego opportunities. Accounting Principles and Use of Estimates The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing financial statements, management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, including those related to such potential matters as litigation, environmental liabilities, income taxes and the related valuation allowance, determination of proved reserves of oil and gas and asset retirement obligations. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates. Reclassifications Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk include cash, cash equivalents and any marketable securities (if any). The Company had cash deposits of $0 in excess of the FDIC’s current insured limit on interest bearing accounts of $250,000 as of March 31, 2019. The Company also had cash deposits of $11,195 in Colombian banks at March 31, 2019 that are not insured by the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. Loss per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted in common shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share amounts as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the following convertible preferred stock and warrants and options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 5,425,000 5,625,000 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock 2,320,556 2,487,222 Stock warrants 50,000 650,000 Stock options 4,978,832 7,512,165 Total 12,774,388 16,274,387 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). Under this new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of greater than twelve months. The guidance requires qualitative disclosures along with certain specific quantitative disclosures for both lessees and lessors. The ASU and its related amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and are effective for interim periods in the year of adoption. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 2018-11, Leases, which allowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company evaluated the impact of this new guidance and reviewed lease or possible lease contracts and evaluated contract related processes. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019 and recorded an initial right-of-use asset and liability for its operating leases of approximately $357,985. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated all transactions from March 31, 2019 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidation | Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (HAEC Louisiana E&P, Inc., HAEC Oklahoma E&P, Inc., and HAEC Caddo Lake E&P, Inc.). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Liquidity and Capital Requirements | Liquidity and Capital Requirements The accompanying 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 for the twelve-month period following the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company has incurred continuing losses since 2011, including a loss of approximately $239,620 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. However, during 2018, the Company raised, net of offering costs, approximately $747,000 in its ATM offering, and substantially reduced its general and administrative costs, increased revenues, and generated approximately $361,000 from its operating activities, thereby mitigating going concern considerations. Further, as of March 31, 2019, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $446,000 and working capital of approximately $566,000. The Company’s principal capital and exploration expenditures during 2019 are expected to relate to drilling an additional well on its Yoakum County lease and, possibly, on its Reeves County acreage. The operator in Yoakum County has committed to drill a second well during 2019 at an approximate cost to the Company of $325,000. The Company believes that it has the ability to fund its cost for such a well from cash on hand. The new operator of the Company’s Reeves County wells has not yet communicated definitive plans to drill an additional well on that acreage in 2019. If they proceed with drilling plan for an additional well, the Company may require additional capital to participate in the drilling of that well. The Company believes that it has sufficient cash on hand to fund its expected drilling operations and its operations for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. In the event that the Company requires additional capital to fund its share of costs for drilling wells during 2019, the Company expects that it would seek additional capital from one or more sources of additional sales of shares in its 2019 ATM Offering and private sales of equity and debt securities. However, there can be no assurance that the Company can secure the necessary capital to fund its share of drilling, acquisition or other costs on acceptable terms or at all. If, for any reason, the Company is unable to fund its share of drilling and completion costs, it would forego participation in one or more of such wells. In such event, the Company may be subject to penalties or to the possible loss of some of its rights and interests in prospects with respect to which it fails to satisfy funding obligations and it may be required to curtail operations and forego opportunities. |
Accounting Principles and Use of Estimates | Accounting Principles and Use of Estimates The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing financial statements, management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, including those related to such potential matters as litigation, environmental liabilities, income taxes and the related valuation allowance, determination of proved reserves of oil and gas and asset retirement obligations. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk include cash, cash equivalents and any marketable securities (if any). The Company had cash deposits of $0 in excess of the FDIC’s current insured limit on interest bearing accounts of $250,000 as of March 31, 2019. The Company also had cash deposits of $11,195 in Colombian banks at March 31, 2019 that are not insured by the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. |
Loss Per Share | Loss per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted in common shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share amounts as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the following convertible preferred stock and warrants and options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 5,425,000 5,625,000 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock 2,320,556 2,487,222 Stock warrants 50,000 650,000 Stock options 4,978,832 7,512,165 Total 12,774,388 16,274,387 |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). Under this new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of greater than twelve months. The guidance requires qualitative disclosures along with certain specific quantitative disclosures for both lessees and lessors. The ASU and its related amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and are effective for interim periods in the year of adoption. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 2018-11, Leases, which allowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company evaluated the impact of this new guidance and reviewed lease or possible lease contracts and evaluated contract related processes. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019 and recorded an initial right-of-use asset and liability for its operating leases of approximately $357,985. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated all transactions from March 31, 2019 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration. |
