Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
GENERAL | NOTE 1 - GENERAL History of the Company. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements of Lucas Energy, Inc. (Lucas or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Lucass annual report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the condensed financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2014 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted. The Companys fiscal year ends on the last day of March of the calendar year. The Company refers to the twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 as its 2016 and 2015 fiscal years, respectively. Pursuant to the authorization provided by the Companys stockholders at the Companys March 25, 2015 annual meeting of stockholders, and in order to meet the continued listing standards of the NYSE MKT, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Companys Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock which was effective on July 15, 2015 (the Reverse Split). The effect of the Reverse Split was to combine each 25 shares of outstanding common stock prior to the Reverse Split into one new share subsequent to the Reverse Split, with no change in authorized shares or par value per share, and to reduce the number of common stock shares outstanding from approximately 35.1 million shares to approximately 1.4 million shares (prior to rounding fractional shares up to the nearest whole share). Proportional adjustments were also made to the conversion and exercise prices of the Companys outstanding convertible preferred stock, warrants and stock options, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Companys stock incentive plans. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock, conversion terms of preferred stock, options and warrants to purchase common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements, in accordance with SAB TOPIC 4C, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split for all periods presented. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS | NOTE 2 LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS At June 30, 2015, the Companys total current liabilities of $10.4 million exceeded its total current assets of $1.0 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $9.4 million, while at March 31, 2015, the Companys total current liabilities of $10.3 million exceeded its total current assets of $0.7 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of $9.6 million. The $0.2 million decrease in the working capital deficit is primarily related to the settlement of the $0.4 million note payable (as of March 31, 2015) to Victory Energy Corporation (Victory) offset by the addition of approximately $0.2 million relating to the value of 44,070 shares of restricted common stock issuable to Victory in settlement of such note payable, which amount was accrued as of June 30, 2015 (as such shares had not been physically issued) and evidenced by common stock payable on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, which award and settlement agreement are described below under Note 13 Settlement Agreements. On February 3, 2015, Lucas executed a Letter of Intent and Term Sheet (Letter of Intent) for a proposed business combination with Victory. Through May 2015, the Company had received $600,000 in funding from Victory per the terms of a Pre-Merger Loan and Funding Agreement (the Loan Agreement) between Lucas and Victory, which was executed on February 26, 2015. On May 11, 2015, Victory notified Lucas that Victory did not intend to proceed with the merger contemplated by the Letter of Intent and thereby terminated the Letter of Intent. Thereafter, on June 24, 2015, Lucas and Victory executed a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release whereby Lucas acknowledged and agreed that among other things, Lucas would exchange working interests in certain oil and gas properties and issue Victory 44,070 shares of restricted common stock in full satisfaction of the $600,000 owed by Lucas to Victory (which exchange is described in greater detail below under Note 13 Settlement Agreements). The Company failed to make the required May, June and July 2015 interest payments (approximately $73,000 for each month) due under the terms of the Letter Loan, as amended (see Note 6 Note Payable below). Consequently, the amount owed under the Letter Loan, as amended, of approximately $7.3 million has been in default since May 2015, and accrues a default interest rate of 18% per annum. On August 12, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Letter Loan and the promissory note entered into in connection therewith (as amended to date). Pursuant to the amendment, the maturity date of the Letter Loan and the promissory note, which was August 13, 2015, was extended to September 13, 2015, and among other things, we also agreed to reprice the exercise price of the outstanding warrants to purchase 11,195 shares of common stock held by Robertson Global Credit, LLC, the administrator of the loan, to $0.01 per share (from $33.75 per share prior to the amendment). Notwithstanding the change in the maturity date of the Letter Loan and promissory note, the lender did not waive any past events of default by us under the Letter Loan and retained the right to pursue any and all remedies for those defaults at any time. We are in discussions with the lender regarding a potential restructuring of the Letter Loan, and the lender has not provided us any notice of their intent to demand immediate repayment of the amounts owed or to enforce their security interests associated therewith. Therefore, we are hopeful that we and the lender will be able to reach mutually agreeable terms on a restructuring of the debt subsequent to the date of this report. In the event the lender seeks the immediate repayment of the debt (which is currently in default), which they have the right to do at any time, we will be forced to sell assets to raise additional funds and may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection. Additionally, because we are currently in default of the debt, the lender can at any time, subject to the terms of the Letter Loan, as amended, foreclose on our assets, pursuant to its security interest over substantially all of our assets. On August 1, 2015, the Company was required to provide approximately $3.4 million of funding in order to participate in the future drilling activities contemplated by the June 2015 sale of certain oil and gas properties by us to Earthstone Energy, Inc. (described below under Note 4 Property and Equipment). As of the date of this report, we were unable to provide the required funding, and as a result, we were not able to exercise our option to participate. Over the next several months, we anticipate requiring funding of approximately $0.5 million for drilling and workover activities on existing properties, as well as the funding required to repay the amounts owed under the Letter Loan, in the event we cannot extend or restructure such debt. In order to address the Companys capital obligations over the next several months and ensure the future viability of the Company, we plan to seek to acquire the necessary funding through a combination with another entity with the financing to recapitalize the new company or by acquiring the necessary development funding on a stand-alone basis. Lucas is actively discussing potential transactions (financings, acquisitions and mergers) which we believe, if finalized and completed, will provide the financial mass to develop the significant reserves at our disposal. As of this date, Lucas has not entered into any binding agreements and no definitive transactions are pending in connection with our planned strategic transaction. Due to the nature of oil and gas interests, i.e., that rates of production generally decline over time as oil and gas reserves are depleted, if we are unable to drill additional wells and develop our proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) or acquire additional operating properties; we believe that our revenues will continue to decline over time. Furthermore, in the event we are unable to raise additional funding in the future, we will not be able to complete drilling and/or workover activities and may not be able to make required payments on our outstanding liabilities, including the amounts owed under the Letter Loan, as amended, and in fact as described above, we have not been able to make certain of such payments to date and such Letter Loan is currently in default. Therefore, in the event we do not raise additional funding in the future, we may be forced to scale back our business plan, sell assets to satisfy outstanding debts or take other remedial steps which may include seeking bankruptcy protection. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |

Property and Equipment | |
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT | NOTE 4 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Oil and Gas Properties Lucas uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells used to find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Properties not subject to amortization consist of acquisition, exploration and development costs, which are evaluated on a property-by-property basis. Amortization of these unproved property costs begins when the properties become proved or their values become impaired and the corresponding costs are added to the capitalized costs subject to amortization. Costs of oil and gas properties are amortized using the units of production method. Amortization expense calculated per equivalent physical unit of production amounted to $31.95 per barrel of oil equivalent (Boe) for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and was $36.34 per Boe for the three months ended June 30, 2014. In applying the full cost method, Lucas performs an impairment test (ceiling test) at each reporting date, whereby the carrying value of property and equipment is compared to the estimated present value, of its proved reserves discounted at a 10-percent interest rate of future net revenues, based on current economic and operating conditions at the end of the period, plus the cost of properties not being amortized, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties included in costs being amortized, less the income tax effects related to book and tax basis differences of the properties. The price used in the ceiling test is the simple average first of the month price for the prior 12 months. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged as an impairment expense. As of June 30, 2015, no impairment of oil and gas properties was indicated. All of Lucass oil and gas properties are located in the United States. Below are the components of Lucass oil and gas properties recorded at: June 30, March 31, Proved leasehold costs $ 10,297,216 $ 11,062,137 Costs of wells and development 37,523,992 37,520,061 Capitalized asset retirement costs 717,337 717,337 Total oil and gas properties 48,538,545 49,299,535 Accumulated depreciation and depletion (12,561,767 ) (12,336,704 ) Net capitalized costs $ 35,976,778 $ 36,962,831 On June 25, 2015, we closed the sale (effective June 1, 2015) of 139.04 net acres of oil and gas properties located in Karnes County, Texas, to Earthstone Energy, Inc. (Earthstone Energy), which included the sale of all working interest, net lease interest and contractual rights owned by us in the Copeland-Karnes Unit and the Griffin Unit (the Units), but not any contractual obligations relating to the LEI Copeland-Karnes wellbore and the LEI Griffin wellbore or production therefrom. Earthstone Energy also became the operator of the Units. The total purchase price paid to us for the purchase was $347,600, along with the grant from Earthstone Energy to us of an option to participate, at cost, for up to 20% of an 8/8ths interest, in all future operations within the proposed ESTE-Boggs Unit upon successfully obtaining the required funding, provided that we were required to exercise the option (with proof of funding) on or before August 1, 2015, or such earlier date as Earthstone Energy begins drilling. We also agreed, in the event we exercised the option, to pay Earthstone Energy for 20% of all costs incurred. As of the date of this report, we were unable to provide the required funding and as a result, we were not able to exercise our option to participate, which option expired. Also, on June 25, 2015, per the Earthstone Settlement and Earthstone/Victory Settlement (described below under Note 13 - Settlement Agreements), Earthstone agreed to pay us approximately $54,000 (representing the net of amounts previously paid by Victory to Earthstone in connection with the terms of a prior participation agreement covering certain leases in Karnes County, Texas and certain amounts owed to us in connection with title issues discovered in connection with those leases) and we agreed that we are deemed a non-consenting party in connection with such wells; and Victory agreed to assign certain oil and gas interests in the wells which we transferred to Victory in February 2015, to Earthstone. As a result, we capitalized approximately $142,000 (approximately $196,000 paid by Victory to Earthstone less approximately $54,000 paid by Earthstone to Lucas) to our oil and gas property full-cost pool. In addition, on June 25, 2015, per the Victory Settlement Agreement (described below under Note 13 - Settlement Agreements), Victory retained ownership and control over five Penn Virginia well-bores and also retained the obligations to pay expenses associated with such Penn Virginia well-bores effective after August 1, 2014; and we also assigned Victory rights to another property located in the same field as the Penn Virginia well-bores. In total, six Penn Virginia well-bores rights were assigned to Victory, representing an approximately $596,000 credit to our oil and gas property full-cost pool. Office Lease On July 27, 2015, we moved our corporate headquarters from 3555 Timmons Lane, Suite 1550, Houston, Texas 77027 to 450 Gears Road, Suite 780, Houston, Texas 77067 in connection with the expiration, pursuant to its terms, of our prior office space lease. We sublease approximately 3,300 square feet of office space pursuant to a sublease that expires on January 31, 2016 that has a base monthly rent of approximately $5,000 of which we have already paid four months in advance as well as a $5,000 security deposit. |

NOTE PAYABLE | NOTE 6 NOTE PAYABLE Victory Loan On February 3, 2015, Victory and Lucas entered into a Letter of Intent for Business Combination between Victory and Lucas (the Letter of Intent) that outlined the proposed terms under which Victory and Lucas planned to combine through a merger (the Merger). In anticipation of the Merger, Victory desired to provide Lucas with loans necessary to allow Lucas to meet working capital requirements and to pay down certain payables so that Lucas could maintain key vendors and cover transaction costs during the period prior to the Merger. As collateral for the loans that were be made by Victory to Lucas, Lucas was to pledge to Victory shares of Lucas common stock pursuant to a pledge and security agreement. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Victory agreed to loan the Company up to $2 million, with $250,000 initially loaned on February 26, 2015 (the Closing and the Initial Draw). The Initial Draw, and any other amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement were to be evidenced by a Secured Subordinated Delayed Draw Term Note issued by the Company in favor of Victory, which was in an initial amount of $250,000 (the Draw Note). Amounts owed under the Draw Note were to be secured by the pledge of shares of the Companys common stock pursuant to the terms of a Pledge Agreement between the Company as pledgor and Victory as secured party (the Pledge Agreement). Victory had loaned Lucas a total of $350,000 through March 31, 2015, which was recognized as a current liability on the balance sheet on March 31, 2015 as the maturity date for the loan was February 26, 2016. Through May 2015, Victory loaned Lucas an additional $250,000 for a total loan of $600,000. On May 11, 2015, Victory notified Lucas that Victory did not intend to proceed with the Merger and thereby terminated the Letter of Intent. Thereafter, on June 24, 2015, Lucas and Victory executed a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release whereby among other things, Lucas acknowledged that Victory had no further obligation to advance any funds to Lucas under the Loan Agreement, the Draw Note or otherwise and Lucas exchanged working interests in certain oil and gas properties and 44,070 shares of restricted common stock (the Settlement Shares) in complete satisfaction of the $600,000 owed to Victory under the Loan Agreement. Therefore, we recognized no liability to Victory as of June 30, 2015 on our balance sheet. Rogers Loan Effective on August 13, 2013, Lucas entered into a Letter Loan Agreement with Louise H. Rogers (as amended and modified to date, the Letter Loan). In connection with the Letter Loan and a Promissory Note entered into in connection therewith, Ms. Rogers loaned the Company $7.5 million (the Loan). The Loan accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum (18% upon the occurrence of an event of default), can be prepaid by Lucas at any time without penalty after November 13, 2013 and was due and payable on August 13, 2015, provided that $75,000 in interest only payments were due on the Loan during the first six months of the term (which were escrowed by Lucas) and beginning on March 13, 2014, Lucas was required to make monthly amortization principal payments equivalent to the sum of fifty-percent of the Loan during months seven through twenty-four of the term (which requirement has since been modified by the amendment described below). An escrow deposit of $450,000 for the first six months interest was recorded as restricted cash within the balance sheet, with no balance outstanding on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2015. Lucas is also required to make mandatory prepayments of the loan in the event the collateral securing the Loan does not meet certain thresholds and coverage ratios. Repayment of the Loan is secured by a security interest in substantially all of Lucass assets which was evidenced by a Security Agreement and a Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement, Financing Statement and Fixture Filing. Lucas agreed to pay a $15,000 quarterly administrative fee in connection with the Loan and grant the administrator a warrant to purchase up to 11,195 shares of Lucass common stock at an exercise price of $33.75 per share and a term continuing until the earlier of (a) August 13, 2018; and (b) three years after the payment in full of the Loan. On August 16, 2013, a portion of the funds raised in connection with the Loan were used to repay $3.25 million in outstanding notes issued in April and May 2013. The Company also capitalized approximately $495,000 in deferred financing costs in relation to expenses incurred in the execution of the Letter Loan. The Company recorded the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the Note Payable as a discount on the Note and amortizes the discount through non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the debt. The fair value of the 11,195 Letter Loan warrants was recorded as a $127,963 debt discount, of which, $122,636 has been amortized as of June 30, 2015. Effective on April 29, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended Letter Loan Agreement (the Amended Letter Loan) and Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the Amended Note), each effective March 14, 2014, in connection with the Letter Loan. Pursuant to the Amended Letter Loan and Amended Note, we restructured the repayment terms of the original Letter Loan and Promissory Note to defer monthly amortizing principal payments which began on March 13, 2014, during the period from April 13, 2014 through September 13, 2014, during which six month period interest on the Amended Note accrued at 15% per annum (compared to 12% per annum under the terms of the original Promissory Note). Beginning on October 13, 2014, the interest rate of the Amended Note returned to 12% per annum and we were required to pay the monthly amortization payments in accordance with the original repayment schedule (which total approximately $205,000 to $226,000, depending on the due date), as well as additional principal amortization payments of approximately $266,000 every three months (beginning October 13, 2014, and ending on July 13, 2015) until maturity, with approximately $3.87 million due on maturity, which maturity date remained August 13, 2015. Additionally, we agreed to pay all legal expenses of the lender related to the amendments and agreed to (i) pay $25,000 and (ii) issue 3,000 shares of restricted common stock, to Robertson Global Credit, LLC (Robertson), the administrator of the Loan, as additional consideration for the modifications. Should we opt to prepay the Amended Note prior to the maturity date, we are required to pay an exit fee equal to the advisory fees of approximately $15,000 per quarter that would have been due, had the note remained outstanding through maturity. On November 24, 2014, and effective on November 13, 2014, the Company entered into a Second Amended Letter Loan Agreement (the Second Amended Letter Loan) and Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the Second Amended Note), in connection with the Letter Loan and the Amended Letter Loan. Pursuant to the Second Amended Letter Loan and a Second Amended Note, we restructured the repayment terms of the Amended Letter Loan and Amended Note to defer the principal payment in the amount of $428,327 which was originally due November 13, 2014, until December 13, 2014, as we were in the process of obtaining new financing, which new financing failed to close as a result of the subsequent precipitous decline in oil prices. Additionally, the Second Amended Letter Loan and Second Amended Note provides that (a) amounts outstanding under the Second Amendment Note will accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum and (b) additional principal amortization payments of approximately $266,000 are due every three months (beginning January 13, 2015, and ending on July 13, 2015) until maturity, with approximately $3.87 million due on maturity, which maturity date remained August 13, 2015. Additionally, we agreed to pay all legal expenses of the lender related to the amendments and agreed to pay $15,000 to Robertson, the administrator of the Loan, as additional consideration for the modifications. We failed to make the required December 13, 2014 principal payment under the terms of the Second Amended Letter Loan. Specifically, on January 26, 2015, we received notice from a representative of Ms. Rogers that we had defaulted on a payment. Consequently, the amount owed under the Second Amended Letter Loan and Second Amended Note of approximately $7.3 million accrued at a default interest rate of 18% per annum. Subsequently, we also failed to make the required January 13, 2015 and February 13, 2015 principal payments under the terms of the Second Amended Letter Loan. The Company capitalized approximately $88,000 in additional deferred financing costs in relation to expenses incurred in connection with the execution of the Amended Letter Loan and the Second Amended Letter Loan. Together, with the initial Letter Loan, the Amended Letter Loan and the Second Amended Letter Loan, the Company has paid approximately $1.4 million in cash interest and amortized approximately $536,000 in deferred financing cost as of June 30, 2015. On February 23, 2015, we entered into a letter agreement (the Letter Agreement) with Ms. Rogers. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the parties agreed that the interest payments due under the promissory note for January, February and March 2015 (which January and February 2015 interest payments were not previously made by the Company) would be added to the principal amount of the promissory note and be due at maturity; and that interest only payments on the promissory note at the rate of 12% per annum (compared to 15% per annum pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, and 18% per annum as a result of various events of default which occurred under the loan documents prior to the parties entry into the Letter Agreement) would be due between April 2015 and August 2015 compared to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, which required amortizing principal payments every month between December 2014 and August 2015 (which amortizing payments we failed to pay from December 2014 to July 2015). In total, $211,769 was added to the principal amount bringing the total principal balance due to our lender to $7,270,734 as of February 23, 2015. The Letter Agreement also provides us the right to extend the maturity date of the promissory note to September 13, 2015, by paying an extension fee of 2% of the remaining balance of the note on or before the maturity date, and to thereafter further extend the maturity date of the promissory note to October 13, 2015, by paying an additional extension fee of 2% of the then remaining balance of the note on or before the September 13, 2015 extended maturity date. We also agreed to pay the lender all current and past due credit administration and legal fees, a $50,000 loan amendment fee upon final repayment of the promissory note, and to require Victory to provide Rogers a promissory note in the amount of $250,000, payable within 90 days following the termination of our proposed merger transaction with Victory. Subsequently (described below under Note 13 - Settlement Agreements), Victory and Ms. Rogers entered into a settlement agreement providing for the repayment of the $250,000 owed. The lender agreed to waive the prior defaults under the promissory note upon the parties entry into the new agreements. The Company failed to make the required May, June and July 2015 interest payments (approximately $73,000 for each month) under the terms of the Letter Agreement. Consequently, the amount owed under the Letter Loan, as amended, of approximately $7.3 million has been in default since May 2015, and accrues a default interest rate of 18% per annum. On August 12, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Letter Loan and the promissory note entered into in connection therewith (as amended to date). Pursuant to the amendment, the maturity date of the Letter Loan and the promissory note, which was August 13, 2015, was extended to September 13, 2015, and among other things, we also agreed to reprice the exercise price of the outstanding warrants to purchase 11,195 shares of common stock held by Robertson Global Credit, LLC, the administrator of the loan, to $0.01 per share (from $33.75 per share prior to the amendment). Notwithstanding the change in the maturity date of the Letter Loan and promissory note, the lender did not waive any past events of default by us under the Letter Loan and retained the right to pursue any and all remedies for those defaults at any time. We are in discussions with the lender regarding a potential restructuring or extension of the Letter Loan, and the lender has not provided us any notice of their intent to demand immediate repayment of the amounts owed or to enforce their security interests associated therewith. Therefore, we are hopeful that we and the lender will be able to reach mutually agreeable terms on a restructuring of the debt subsequent to the date of this report. In the event the lender seeks the immediate repayment of the debt (which is currently in default), which they have the right to do at any time, we will be forced to sell assets to raise additional funds and may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection. Additionally, because we are currently in default of the debt, the lender can at any time, subject to the terms of the Letter Loan, as amended, foreclose on our assets, pursuant to its security interest over substantially all of our assets. As of June 30, 2015, the amount owed under the Letter Loan still had an August 13, 2015 maturity date; therefore, the outstanding balance of the Note Payable is $7,265,407 (net of the remaining $5,327 note discount) and listed as a current liability in the balance sheet. |

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION | NOTE 9 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Lucas measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award over the vesting period. Common Stock Lucas issued 3,689 shares of its common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $19,363 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2015, which were valued based on the trading value of Lucass common stock on the date of grant. Also, on June 30, 2015, the Company awarded an additional 5,621 shares of its common stock with an aggregate grant fair value of $19,673, which were valued based on the trading value of Lucass common stock on the date of grant. Those common stock awards had yet to be physically issued as of June 30, 2015, and therefore, were recognized as accrued common stock payable on the balance sheet. The shares were awarded according to the employment agreement with an officer and as additional compensation for other managerial personnel. Stock Options As of June 30, 2015, the Company had 24,920 stock options outstanding with a weighted average price of $33.80 and 36,579 stock options outstanding with a weighted average price of $34.75 as of June 30, 2014. Of the Companys outstanding options, no options expired, were exercised, or forfeited during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. Additionally, no stock options were granted during the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. Compensation expense related to stock options outstanding during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $21,111 and $40,689, respectively. Options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 had no intrinsic value, respectively. The intrinsic value is based upon the difference between the market price of Lucass common stock on the date of exercise and the grant price of the stock options. The following tabulation summarizes the remaining terms of the options outstanding: Exercise Price ($) Remaining Life (Yrs.) Options Outstanding Options Exercisable 32.00 * 2,000 2,000 51.75 5.3 1,920 1,920 24.50 1.5 3,000 3,000 40.75 2.3 4,000 2,000 43.50 2.3 6,000 6,000 40.25 2.5 2,000 2,000 39.50 2.3 2,000 5.50 2.7 4,000 4,000 Total 24,920 20,920 *Options expired on July 2, 2015 and are no longer outstanding as of the date of this report. As of June 30, 2015, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to all non-vested stock options was $70,597, which is being recognized over a remaining weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years. In prior periods, the shareholders of the Company approved the Companys 2014, 2012 and 2010 Stock Incentive Plans (the Plans). The Plans are intended to secure for the Company the benefits arising from ownership of the Companys common stock by the employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company, all of whom are and will be responsible for the Companys future growth. The Plans provide an opportunity for any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company to receive incentive stock options (to eligible employees only), nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock awards and shares in performance of services. There are 56,916 shares available for issuance under the Plans as of June 30, 2015. |

Rogers, our senior lender (Rogers) entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the Rogers Settlement). Earthstone Settlement and Earthstone/Victory Settlement Pursuant to the terms of the Earthstone Settlement and the Earthstone/Victory Settlement, Earthstone agreed to pay us $54,020 (representing the net of amounts previously paid by Victory to Earthstone in connection with the terms of a participation agreement covering certain leases in Karnes County, Texas and certain amounts owed to us in connection with title issues discovered in connection with those leases) and we agreed that we are deemed a non-consenting party in connection with such Wells; and Victory agreed to assign certain oil and gas interests in the Wells which we transferred to Victory in February 2015, to Earthstone. We and Earthstone also agreed to not disparage or talk negatively about each other and further agreed to release each other (the Victory Parties also agreed to release Earthstone pursuant to the Earthstone/Victory Settlement) from any and all claims, demands and causes of action which either party had against the other prior to the June 25, 2015 effective date of the Earthstone/Victory Settlement, whether known or unknown, except in connection with the breach, enforcement or interpretation of the Earthstone/Victory Settlement.

We also confirmed the amount of $600,000 previously advanced to us by Victory pursuant to the terms of a prior Pre-Merger Loan and Funding Agreement dated February 26, 2015 (the Funding Agreement); that Victory has no further obligations to advance any additional funds to us pursuant to the terms of the Funding Agreement (which originally provided us the right to borrow up to $2 million from Victory); and that we would issue 44,070 shares of our restricted common stock to Victory (the Victory Shares) in full consideration of the $600,000 owed under the Funding Agreement (which will be held in escrow until the payment of amounts owed to Rogers under the Rogers Settlement described below). We also agreed to grant Victory piggyback registration rights in connection with the Victory Shares and Victory agreed to leakout terms associated with the Victory Shares, whereby Victory may not sell through a broker (post reverse split values), more than 1,000 of the Victory Shares per day; 5,000 of the Victory Shares per week; and 20,000 of the Victory Shares per month. We and Victory also agreed to release each other from any and all claims, demands and causes of action which either party had against the other prior to the June 25, 2015 effective date of the Victory Settlement, whether known or unknown, in connection with the terminated agreements.

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | NOTE 14 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Pursuant to the authorization provided by the Companys stockholders at the Companys March 25, 2015 annual meeting, and in order to meet the continued listing standards of the NYSE MKT, on June 29, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Companys Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of all outstanding common stock shares of the Company, effective on July 15, 2015. The effect of the reverse stock split combined each 25 shares of outstanding common stock into one new share, with no change in authorized shares or par value per share, and reduced the number of common stock shares outstanding from 36,354,973 shares to 1,454,261 shares. Proportional adjustments were made to the conversion and exercise prices of the Companys outstanding convertible preferred stock, warrants and stock options, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Companys stock incentive plans. The Companys trading symbol of LEI did not change as a result of the reverse stock split, and the common stock trades under a new CUSIP number, 549333300. In accordance with SAB TOPIC 4C, the Company has reported the effects of this stock split retrospectively to the earliest period presented in these financial statements. The Company failed to make the required May, June and July 2015 interest payments (approximately $73,000 for each month) under the terms of the Letter Agreement (see Note 6 Note Payable above). Consequently, the amount owed under the Letter Loan, as amended, of approximately $7.3 million has been in default since May 2015, and accrues a default interest rate of 18% per annum. On August 12, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Letter Loan and the promissory note entered into in connection therewith (as amended to date). Pursuant to the amendment, the maturity date of the Letter Loan and the promissory note, which was August 13, 2015, was extended to September 13, 2015, and among other things, we also agreed to reprice the exercise price of the outstanding warrants to purchase 11,195 shares of common stock held by Robertson Global Credit, LLC, the administrator of the loan, to $0.01 per share (from $33.75 per share prior to the amendment). Notwithstanding the change in the maturity date of the Letter Loan and promissory note, the lender did not waive any past events of default by us under the Letter Loan and retained the right to pursue any and all remedies for those defaults at any time. We are in discussions with the lender regarding a potential restructuring or extension of the Letter Loan, and the lender has not provided us any notice of their intent to demand immediate repayment of the amounts owed or to enforce their security interests associated therewith. Therefore, we are hopeful that we and the lender will be able to reach mutually agreeable terms on a restructuring of the debt subsequent to the date of this report. In the event the lender seeks the immediate repayment of the debt (which is currently in default), which they have the right to do at any time, we will be forced to sell assets to raise additional funds and may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection. Additionally, because we are currently in default of the debt, the lender can at any time, subject to the terms of the Letter Loan, as amended, foreclose on our assets, pursuant to its security interest over substantially all of our assets. |
