Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Cimarex Energy Co. (“Cimarex,” “we,” or “us”) pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and normally included in Annual Reports on Form 10-K have been omitted. Although management believes that our disclosures in these interim financial statements are adequate, they should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, summary of significant accounting policies, and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods and as of the dates shown. Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 financial statement presentation. Use of Estimates Areas of significance requiring the use of management’s judgments include the estimation of proved oil and gas reserves used in calculating depletion, the estimation of future net revenues used in computing ceiling test limitations, the estimation of future abandonment obligations used in recording asset retirement obligations, and the assessment of goodwill. Estimates and judgments also are required in determining allowances for doubtful accounts, impairments of unproved properties and other assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, fair value measurements, and contingencies. Oil and Gas Well Equipment and Supplies Our oil and gas well equipment and supplies are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, where net realizable value is estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of disposal and transportation. Declines in the price of oil and gas well equipment and supplies in future periods could cause us to recognize impairments on these assets. An impairment would not affect cash flow from operating activities, but would adversely affect our net income and stockholders’ equity. Oil and Gas Properties We use the full cost method of accounting for our oil and gas operations. All costs associated with property acquisition, exploration, and development activities are capitalized. Under the full cost method of accounting, we are required to perform a quarterly ceiling test calculation to test our oil and gas properties for possible impairment. If the net capitalized cost of our oil and gas properties, as adjusted for income taxes, exceeds the ceiling limitation, the excess is charged to expense. The ceiling limitation is equal to the sum of: (i) the present value discounted at 10% of estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, (ii) the cost of properties not being amortized, and (iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, as adjusted for income taxes. We currently do not have any unproven properties that are being amortized. Estimated future net revenues are determined based on trailing twelve-month average commodity prices and estimated proved reserve quantities, operating costs, and capital expenditures. The calculated ceiling limitation is not intended to be indicative of the fair market value of our proved reserves or future results. We did not recognize a ceiling test impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 because the net capitalized cost of our oil and gas properties, as adjusted for income taxes, did not exceed the ceiling limitation. If pricing conditions deteriorate, including the further widening of local market basis differentials, or if there is a negative impact on one or more of the other components of the calculation, we may incur full cost ceiling test impairments in future quarters. Impairment charges do not affect cash flow from operating activities, but do adversely affect our net income and various components of our balance sheet. Any impairment of oil and gas properties is not reversible at a later date. Revenue Recognition Oil, Gas, and NGL Sales Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), utilizing the modified retrospective approach, which we applied to contracts that were not completed as of that date. Because we utilized the modified retrospective approach, there was no impact to prior periods’ reported amounts. Application of ASC 606 has no impact on our net income or cash flows from operations; however, certain costs classified as Transportation, processing, and other operating in the statement of operations under prior accounting standards are now reflected as deductions from revenue under ASC 606. The following tables present the impact on our Oil sales, Gas sales, and NGL sales and on our Transportation, processing, and other operating costs from the application of ASC 606 in the current reporting period: Three Months Ended 2018 2017 (in thousands) Pre- Impact of Post- As Reported Oil sales $ 342,495 $ — $ 342,495 $ 231,441 Gas sales 98,321 (3,888 ) 94,433 125,707 NGL sales 151,648 (5,994 ) 145,654 95,191 Total oil, gas, and NGL sales $ 592,464 $ (9,882 ) $ 582,582 $ 452,339 Transportation, processing, and other operating costs $ 59,602 $ (9,882 ) $ 49,720 $ 58,387 Nine Months Ended 2018 2017 (in thousands) Pre- Impact of Post- As Reported Oil sales $ 1,036,402 $ — $ 1,036,402 $ 687,960 Gas sales 295,725 (10,784 ) 284,941 390,126 NGL sales 382,387 (21,321 ) 361,066 256,503 Total oil, gas, and NGL sales $ 1,714,514 $ (32,105 ) $ 1,682,409 $ 1,334,589 Transportation, processing, and other operating costs $ 178,923 $ (32,105 ) $ 146,818 $ 172,034 Revenue is recognized from the sales of oil, gas, and NGLs when the customer obtains control of the product, when we have no further obligations to perform related to the sale, and when collectability is probable. All of our sales of oil, gas, and NGLs are made under contracts with customers, which typically include variable consideration based on monthly pricing tied to local indices and monthly volumes delivered. The nature of our contracts with customers does not require us to constrain that variable consideration or to estimate the amount of transaction price attributable to future performance obligations for accounting purposes. As of September 30, 2018 , we had open contracts with customers with terms of one month to multiple years, as well as “evergreen” contracts that renew on a periodic basis if not canceled by us or the customer. Performance obligations under our contracts with customers are typically satisfied at a point-in-time through monthly delivery of oil, gas, and/or NGLs. Our contracts with customers typically require payment within one month of delivery. Our gas and NGLs are sold under a limited number of contract structure types common in our industry. Under these contracts the gas and its components, including NGLs, may be sold to a single purchaser or the residue gas and NGLs may be sold to separate purchasers. Regardless of the contract structure type, the terms of these contracts compensate us for the value of the residue gas and NGLs at current market prices for each product, and are disaggregated in the tables above on that basis. Our oil typically is sold at specific delivery points under contract terms that also are common in our industry. Gas Gathering When we transport and/or process third-party gas associated with our equity gas, we recognize revenue for the fees charged to third-parties for such services. Gas Marketing When we market and sell gas for working interest owners, we act as agent under short-term sales and supply agreements and may earn a fee for such services. Revenues from such services are recognized as gas is delivered. Gas Imbalances Revenue from the sale of gas is recorded on the basis of gas actually sold by us. If our aggregate sales volumes for a well are greater (or less) than our proportionate share of production from the well, a liability (or receivable) is established to the extent there are insufficient proved reserves available to make-up the overproduced (or underproduced) imbalance. Imbalances have not been significant in the periods presented. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The key provision of this ASU is that a lessee must recognize on its balance sheet: (i) liabilities to make lease payments and (ii) right-of-use assets. The ASU permits lessees to make a policy election to not recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with terms of less than 12 months. Under current generally accepted accounting principles, a determination of whether a lease is a capital or operating lease is made at lease inception and no assets or liabilities are recognized for operating leases. Under this ASU, the determination to be made at the inception of a contract is whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Leases convey the right to control the use of an identified asset in exchange for consideration. Only the lease components of a contract must be accounted for in accordance with this ASU. Non-lease components, such as activities that transfer a good or service to the customer, shall be accounted for under other applicable Topics. An entity may make a policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components and account for the non-lease components together with the lease components as a single lease component. This ASU retains a distinction between finance and operating leases concerning the recognition and presentation of the expense and payments related to leases in the statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows, however, both types of leases require the recognition of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance, but believe the primary effect will be to record assets and liabilities for contracts currently accounted for as operating leases. We do not intend to adopt the standard early. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842) Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 . This ASU provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 (discussed above) existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current leases guidance in Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 beginning at the date that the entity adopts Topic 842. Under the full cost method of accounting, we capitalize to oil and gas properties all property acquisition, exploration, and development costs, which include the costs of land easements. We plan to elect this practical expedient and continue to apply our current accounting policy to account for land easements that existed before our adoption of Topic 842 and will evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 upon our adoption of Topic 842. We are evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance and do not intend to adopt the standard early. |

At December 31, 2017 , the unamortized debt issuance costs and discount related to the 3.90% notes were $5.9 million and $1.8 million , respectively. The 4.375% notes were issued at par. Bank Debt We have a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) that matures October 16, 2020. The Credit Facility has aggregate commitments of $1.0 billion , with an option for us to increase the aggregate commitments to $1.25 billion at any time. There is no borrowing base subject to the discretion of the lenders based on the value of our proved reserves under the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2018 , we had no bank borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, but did have letters of credit of $2.5 million outstanding, leaving an unused borrowing availability of $997.5 million . At our option, borrowings under the Credit Facility may bear interest at either (a) LIBOR plus 1.125 – 2.0% based on the credit rating for our senior unsecured long-term debt, or (b) a base rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 0.125 – 1.0% , based on the credit rating for our senior unsecured long-term debt. Unused borrowings are subject to a commitment fee of 0.125 – 0.35% , based on the credit rating for our senior unsecured long-term debt. The Credit Facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, and events of default that are customary for investment grade, senior unsecured bank credit agreements, including a financial covenant for the maintenance of a defined total debt-to-capital ratio of no greater than 65% . As of September 30, 2018 , we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , we had $2.4 million and $3.4 million , respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with our Credit Facility, which were recorded as assets and included in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are being amortized to interest expense ratably over the life of the Credit Facility. Senior Notes In April 2017, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.90% senior unsecured notes at 99.748% of par to yield 3.93% per annum. These notes are due May 15, 2027 and interest is payable semiannually on May 15 and November 15. The effective interest rate on these notes, including the amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, is 4.01% . In June 2014, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes at par. These notes are due June 1, 2024 and interest is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1. The effective interest rate on these notes, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, is 4.50% . Our senior unsecured notes are governed by indentures containing certain covenants, events of default, and other restrictive provisions with which we were in compliance as of September 30, 2018 . |

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract] | |
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS We periodically use derivative instruments to mitigate volatility in commodity prices. While the use of these instruments limits the downside risk of adverse price changes, their use may also limit future cash flow from favorable price changes. Depending on changes in oil and gas futures markets and management’s view of underlying supply and demand trends, we may increase or decrease our derivative positions from current levels. As of September 30, 2018 , we have entered into oil and gas collars and oil basis swaps. Under our collars, we receive the difference between the published index price and a floor price if the index price is below the floor price or we pay the difference between the 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 the ceiling prices. By using a collar, we have fixed the minimum and maximum prices we can receive on the underlying production. Our basis swaps are settled based on the difference between a published index price minus a fixed differential and the applicable local index price under which the underlying production is sold. By using a basis swap, we have fixed the differential between the published index price and certain of our physical pricing points. For our Permian oil production, the basis swaps fix the price differential between the WTI NYMEX (Cushing Oklahoma) price and the WTI Midland price. For our Permian and Mid-Continent gas production, the contract prices in our collars are consistent with the index prices used to sell our production. The following tables summarize our outstanding derivative contracts as of September 30, 2018 : Oil Collars First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter Fourth Quarter Total 2018: WTI (1) Volume (Bbls) — — — 3,404,000 3,404,000 Weighted Avg Price - Floor $ — $ — $ — $ 52.97 $ 52.97 Weighted Avg Price - Ceiling $ — $ — $ — $ 64.79 $ 64.79 2019: WTI (1) Volume (Bbls) 2,790,000 2,821,000 2,208,000 1,472,000 9,291,000 Weighted Avg Price - Floor $ 53.94 $ 53.94 $ 55.67 $ 58.50 $ 55.07 Weighted Avg Price - Ceiling $ 66.88 $ 66.88 $ 70.03 $ 71.94 $ 68.43 2020: WTI (1) Volume (Bbls) 728,000 — — — 728,000 Weighted Avg Price - Floor $ 60.00 $ — $ — $ — $ 60.00 Weighted Avg Price - Ceiling $ 75.85 $ — $ — $ — $ 75.85 ________________________________________ (1) The index price for these collars is West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) as quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”).

Derivative Gains and Losses Net gains and losses on our derivative instruments are a function of fluctuations in the underlying commodity index prices as compared to the contracted prices and the monthly cash settlements (if any) of the instruments. We have elected not to designate our derivatives as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and, therefore, we do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our derivative instruments. Consequently, changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments and cash settlements on the instruments are included as a component of operating costs and expenses as either a net gain or loss on derivative instruments. Cash settlements of our contracts are included in cash flows from operating activities in our statements of cash flows. The following table presents the components of Loss (gain) on derivative instruments, net for the periods indicated. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Decrease (increase) in fair value of derivative instruments, net: Gas contracts $ 6,378 $ 1,156 $ 9,155 $ (26,783 ) Oil contracts 47,129 17,929 41,973 (26,220 ) 53,507 19,085 51,128 (53,003 ) Cash (receipts) payments on derivative instruments, net: Gas contracts (3,462 ) (2,067 ) (18,499 ) (931 ) Oil contracts 3,961 (909 ) 38,917 3,673 499 (2,976 ) 20,418 2,742 Loss (gain) on derivative instruments, net $ 54,006 $ 16,109 $ 71,546 $ (50,261 ) Derivative Fair Value Our derivative contracts are carried at their fair value on our balance sheet using Level 2 inputs and are subject to master netting arrangements, which allow us to offset recognized asset and liability fair value amounts on contracts with the same counterparty. Our accounting policy is to not offset asset and liability positions in our balance sheets. The following tables present the amounts and classifications of our derivative assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , as well as the potential effect of netting arrangements on our recognized derivative asset and liability amounts.

We mitigate our exposure to any single counterparty by contracting with a number of financial institutions, each of which has a high credit rating and is a member of our bank credit facility. Our member banks do not require us to post collateral for our derivative liability positions, nor do we require our counterparties to post collateral for our benefit. In the future we may enter into derivative instruments with counterparties outside our bank group to obtain competitive terms and to spread counterparty risk. |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB has established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are the highest priority and consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability. The following table provides fair value measurement information for certain assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 : September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 (in thousands) Book Value Fair Value Book Value Fair Value Financial Assets (Liabilities): 4.375% Notes due 2024 $ (750,000 ) $ (756,915 ) $ (750,000 ) $ (797,010 ) 3.90% Notes due 2027 $ (750,000 ) $ (716,318 ) $ (750,000 ) $ (767,813 ) Derivative instruments — assets $ 31,330 $ 31,330 $ 17,237 $ 17,237 Derivative instruments — liabilities $ (111,556 ) $ (111,556 ) $ (46,334 ) $ (46,334 ) Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, including the consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability. The fair value (Level 1) of our fixed rate notes was based on their last traded value before period end. The fair value of our derivative instruments (Level 2) was estimated using option pricing models. These models use certain variables including forward price and volatility curves and the strike prices for the instruments. The fair value estimates are adjusted relative to non-performance risk as appropriate. See Note 3 for further information on the fair value of our derivative instruments. Other Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of our cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities and/or liquid nature of these assets and liabilities. Included in “Accrued liabilities — Other” at September 30, 2018 were accrued operating expenses of approximately $69.7 million . Included in “Accrued liabilities — Other” at December 31, 2017 were: (i) accrued operating expenses of approximately $61.3 million and (ii) accrued general and administrative, primarily payroll-related, costs of approximately $54.6 million . Most of our accounts receivable balances are uncollateralized and result from transactions with other companies in the oil and gas industry. Concentration of customers may impact our overall credit risk because our customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions within the industry. We conduct credit analyses prior to making any sales to new customers or increasing credit for existing customers and may require parent company guarantees, letters of credit, or prepayments when deemed necessary. We routinely assess the recoverability of all material accounts receivable to determine their collectability. We accrue a reserve to the allowance for doubtful accounts when it is probable that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of the reserve may be reasonably estimated. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.7 million and $2.2 million , respectively. |

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
CAPITAL STOCK | CAPITAL STOCK Authorized capital stock consists of 200 million shares of common stock and 15 million shares of preferred stock. At September 30, 2018 , there were 95.6 million shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Dividends In August 2018 , our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per share. The dividend is payable on or before November 30, 2018 to stockholders of record on November 15, 2018 . Dividends declared are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings to the extent retained earnings are available at the close of the period prior to the date of the declared dividend. Dividends in excess of retained earnings are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. During 2018 , the $15.3 million dividend declared during the first quarter was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, while the $15.3 million and the $17.2 million dividends declared during the second and third quarters, respectively, were recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. Nonforfeitable dividends paid on stock awards that subsequently forfeit are reclassified out of retained earnings or additional paid-in capital, as applicable, to compensation expense in the period in which the forfeitures occur. Future dividend payments will depend on our level of earnings, financial requirements, and other factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors. |

The decrease in total stock compensation cost in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to performance stock award forfeitures during the second quarter 2018 . Our accounting policy is to account for forfeitures in compensation cost when they occur. |

Asset Retirement Obligation [Abstract] | |
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS | ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS We recognize the present value of the fair value of liabilities for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets in the period in which there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of such assets and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. This liability includes costs related to the plugging and abandonment of wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restorations. Subsequent to initial measurement, the asset retirement liability is accreted each period. If there is a change in the estimated cost or timing of retirement, a revision is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement capitalized cost. Capitalized costs are included as a component of the depreciation and depletion calculations. The following table reflects the components of the change in the carrying amount of the asset retirement obligation for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 : (in thousands) Nine Months Ended Asset retirement obligation at January 1, 2018 $ 169,469 Liabilities incurred 7,157 Liability settlements and disposals (19,769 ) Accretion expense 5,540 Revisions of estimated liabilities 1,055 Asset retirement obligation at September 30, 2018 163,452 Less current obligation (11,584 ) Long-term asset retirement obligation $ 151,868 For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , liability settlements and disposals included disposals of $13.7 million . |

We believe that the carryforward will be utilized before it expires. We also had an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward of approximately $3.0 million and other credits of $0.9 million . At September 30, 2018 , we had no unrecognized tax benefits that would impact our effective tax rate and have made no provisions for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2015 through 2017 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States. We file tax returns with various state taxing authorities, which remain open to examination for tax years 2014 through 2017 . Our combined federal and state effective income tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% in 2018 and 35% in 2017 primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible expenses. As a result of the enactment of H.R.1, known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, on December 22, 2017, we remeasured our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017 to reflect the reduction in the U.S. income tax rate from 35% to 21% for years after 2017 . We believe the accounting for the effects of H.R.1 recognized in the December 31, 2017 financial statements is materially complete. However, evolving analyses and interpretations of the law may cause a change to the amounts presented. Any such changes that may arise will be recognized in the period determined, but no later than December 31, 2018. As a result of H.R.1, we expect our effective tax rate in future periods will be lower than in periods prior to enactment. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments At September 30, 2018 , we had estimated commitments of approximately: (i) $263.3 million to finish drilling, completing, or performing other work on wells and various other infrastructure projects in progress and (ii) $13.1 million to finish gathering system construction in progress. At September 30, 2018 , we had firm sales contracts to deliver approximately 339.0 Bcf of gas over the next 6.3 years . If we do not deliver this gas, our estimated financial commitment, calculated using the October 2018 index price, would be approximately $598.3 million . The value of this commitment will fluctuate due to price volatility and actual volumes delivered. However, we believe no financial commitment will be due based on our current proved reserves and production levels from which we can fulfill these volumetric obligations. In connection with gas gathering and processing agreements, we have volume commitments over the next 9.3 years . If we do not deliver the committed gas or NGLs, as the case may be, the estimated maximum amount that would be payable under these commitments, calculated as of September 30, 2018 , would be approximately $345.2 million . However, we believe no financial commitment will be due based on our current proved reserves and production levels from which we can fulfill these volumetric obligations. We have minimum volume delivery commitments associated with agreements to reimburse connection costs to various pipelines. If we do not deliver this gas, the estimated maximum amount that would be payable under these commitments, calculated as of September 30, 2018 , would be approximately $12.3 million . Of this total, we have accrued a liability of $2.5 million representing the estimated amount we will have to pay due to insufficient forecasted volumes at particular connection points. At September 30, 2018 , we have various firm transportation agreements for gas pipeline capacity with end dates ranging from 2019 - 2025 under which we will have to pay an estimated $30.0 million over the remaining terms of the agreements. These agreements were entered into to support our residue gas marketing efforts, and we believe we have sufficient reserves that will utilize this firm transportation. At September 30, 2018 , we have various future commitments under operating lease arrangements for commercial real estate, consisting primarily of office space, and compressor equipment. The commitments under the commercial real estate operating leases, which have lease terms expiring within the next 7.9 years , total approximately $78.3 million . The commitments under the compressor equipment operating leases, which have lease terms expiring within the next 1 - 36 months, total approximately $25.6 million . All of the noted commitments were routine and made in the ordinary course of our business. Litigation We have various litigation matters related to the ordinary course of our business. We assess the probability of estimable amounts related to these matters in accordance with guidance established by the FASB and adjust our accruals accordingly. Though some of the related claims may be significant, we believe the resolution of them, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations after consideration of current accruals. |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
PROPERTY SALES | PROPERTY SALES On August 31, 2018 , we closed on the sale of oil and gas properties principally located in Ward County, Texas for a sales price of $544.5 million , as adjusted to reflect the resolution of all asserted defects. As of September 30, 2018 , we have received $534.6 million in net cash proceeds as adjusted for customary closing adjustments to reflect an effective date of April 1, 2018 and transaction costs. Final settlement, which will reflect customary post-closing adjustments, will occur by the end of first quarter 2019. It was determined that this disposition would not significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, therefore, in accordance with the full cost method of accounting, no gain or loss was recognized on this sale. This sale is part of our continuous portfolio optimization and high-grading of our investment opportunities. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Cimarex Energy Co. (“Cimarex,” “we,” or “us”) pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and normally included in Annual Reports on Form 10-K have been omitted. Although management believes that our disclosures in these interim financial statements are adequate, they should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, summary of significant accounting policies, and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods and as of the dates shown. Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 financial statement presentation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates Areas of significance requiring the use of management’s judgments include the estimation of proved oil and gas reserves used in calculating depletion, the estimation of future net revenues used in computing ceiling test limitations, the estimation of future abandonment obligations used in recording asset retirement obligations, and the assessment of goodwill. Estimates and judgments also are required in determining allowances for doubtful accounts, impairments of unproved properties and other assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, fair value measurements, and contingencies. |
Oil and Gas Properties | Oil and Gas Well Equipment and Supplies Our oil and gas well equipment and supplies are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, where net realizable value is estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of disposal and transportation. Declines in the price of oil and gas well equipment and supplies in future periods could cause us to recognize impairments on these assets. An impairment would not affect cash flow from operating activities, but would adversely affect our net income and stockholders’ equity. Oil and Gas Properties We use the full cost method of accounting for our oil and gas operations. All costs associated with property acquisition, exploration, and development activities are capitalized. Under the full cost method of accounting, we are required to perform a quarterly ceiling test calculation to test our oil and gas properties for possible impairment. If the net capitalized cost of our oil and gas properties, as adjusted for income taxes, exceeds the ceiling limitation, the excess is charged to expense. The ceiling limitation is equal to the sum of: (i) the present value discounted at 10% of estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, (ii) the cost of properties not being amortized, and (iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, as adjusted for income taxes. We currently do not have any unproven properties that are being amortized. Estimated future net revenues are determined based on trailing twelve-month average commodity prices and estimated proved reserve quantities, operating costs, and capital expenditures. The calculated ceiling limitation is not intended to be indicative of the fair market value of our proved reserves or future results. We did not recognize a ceiling test impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 because the net capitalized cost of our oil and gas properties, as adjusted for income taxes, did not exceed the ceiling limitation. If pricing conditions deteriorate, including the further widening of local market basis differentials, or if there is a negative impact on one or more of the other components of the calculation, we may incur full cost ceiling test impairments in future quarters. Impairment charges do not affect cash flow from operating activities, but do adversely affect our net income and various components of our balance sheet. Any impairment of oil and gas properties is not reversible at a later date. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Oil, Gas, and NGL Sales Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), utilizing the modified retrospective approach, which we applied to contracts that were not completed as of that date. Because we utilized the modified retrospective approach, there was no impact to prior periods’ reported amounts. Application of ASC 606 has no impact on our net income or cash flows from operations; however, certain costs classified as Transportation, processing, and other operating in the statement of operations under prior accounting standards are now reflected as deductions from revenue under ASC 606. The following tables present the impact on our Oil sales, Gas sales, and NGL sales and on our Transportation, processing, and other operating costs from the application of ASC 606 in the current reporting period: Three Months Ended 2018 2017 (in thousands) Pre- Impact of Post- As Reported Oil sales $ 342,495 $ — $ 342,495 $ 231,441 Gas sales 98,321 (3,888 ) 94,433 125,707 NGL sales 151,648 (5,994 ) 145,654 95,191 Total oil, gas, and NGL sales $ 592,464 $ (9,882 ) $ 582,582 $ 452,339 Transportation, processing, and other operating costs $ 59,602 $ (9,882 ) $ 49,720 $ 58,387 Nine Months Ended 2018 2017 (in thousands) Pre- Impact of Post- As Reported Oil sales $ 1,036,402 $ — $ 1,036,402 $ 687,960 Gas sales 295,725 (10,784 ) 284,941 390,126 NGL sales 382,387 (21,321 ) 361,066 256,503 Total oil, gas, and NGL sales $ 1,714,514 $ (32,105 ) $ 1,682,409 $ 1,334,589 Transportation, processing, and other operating costs $ 178,923 $ (32,105 ) $ 146,818 $ 172,034 Revenue is recognized from the sales of oil, gas, and NGLs when the customer obtains control of the product, when we have no further obligations to perform related to the sale, and when collectability is probable. All of our sales of oil, gas, and NGLs are made under contracts with customers, which typically include variable consideration based on monthly pricing tied to local indices and monthly volumes delivered. The nature of our contracts with customers does not require us to constrain that variable consideration or to estimate the amount of transaction price attributable to future performance obligations for accounting purposes. As of September 30, 2018 , we had open contracts with customers with terms of one month to multiple years, as well as “evergreen” contracts that renew on a periodic basis if not canceled by us or the customer. Performance obligations under our contracts with customers are typically satisfied at a point-in-time through monthly delivery of oil, gas, and/or NGLs. Our contracts with customers typically require payment within one month of delivery. Our gas and NGLs are sold under a limited number of contract structure types common in our industry. Under these contracts the gas and its components, including NGLs, may be sold to a single purchaser or the residue gas and NGLs may be sold to separate purchasers. Regardless of the contract structure type, the terms of these contracts compensate us for the value of the residue gas and NGLs at current market prices for each product, and are disaggregated in the tables above on that basis. Our oil typically is sold at specific delivery points under contract terms that also are common in our industry. Gas Gathering When we transport and/or process third-party gas associated with our equity gas, we recognize revenue for the fees charged to third-parties for such services. Gas Marketing When we market and sell gas for working interest owners, we act as agent under short-term sales and supply agreements and may earn a fee for such services. Revenues from such services are recognized as gas is delivered. Gas Imbalances Revenue from the sale of gas is recorded on the basis of gas actually sold by us. If our aggregate sales volumes for a well are greater (or less) than our proportionate share of production from the well, a liability (or receivable) is established to the extent there are insufficient proved reserves available to make-up the overproduced (or underproduced) imbalance. Imbalances have not been significant in the periods presented. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The key provision of this ASU is that a lessee must recognize on its balance sheet: (i) liabilities to make lease payments and (ii) right-of-use assets. The ASU permits lessees to make a policy election to not recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with terms of less than 12 months. Under current generally accepted accounting principles, a determination of whether a lease is a capital or operating lease is made at lease inception and no assets or liabilities are recognized for operating leases. Under this ASU, the determination to be made at the inception of a contract is whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Leases convey the right to control the use of an identified asset in exchange for consideration. Only the lease components of a contract must be accounted for in accordance with this ASU. Non-lease components, such as activities that transfer a good or service to the customer, shall be accounted for under other applicable Topics. An entity may make a policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components and account for the non-lease components together with the lease components as a single lease component. This ASU retains a distinction between finance and operating leases concerning the recognition and presentation of the expense and payments related to leases in the statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows, however, both types of leases require the recognition of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance, but believe the primary effect will be to record assets and liabilities for contracts currently accounted for as operating leases. We do not intend to adopt the standard early. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842) Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 . This ASU provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 (discussed above) existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current leases guidance in Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 beginning at the date that the entity adopts Topic 842. Under the full cost method of accounting, we capitalize to oil and gas properties all property acquisition, exploration, and development costs, which include the costs of land easements. We plan to elect this practical expedient and continue to apply our current accounting policy to account for land easements that existed before our adoption of Topic 842 and will evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 upon our adoption of Topic 842. We are evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance and do not intend to adopt the standard early. |
