1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies | 9 Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Organization – Paxton Energy, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 30, 2004. On January 27, 2012, Paxton Energy, Inc. changed its name to Worthington Energy, Inc. (the “Company”). On October 2, 2013 the Company effected a 1-for-50 reverse common stock split. All references in these consolidated financial statements and related notes to numbers of shares of common stock, prices per share of common stock, and weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding prior to the reverse stock splits have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock splits on a retroactive basis for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. | ||||||||||||||||
Nature of Operations – As further described in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements, the Company commenced acquiring working interests in oil and gas properties in June 2005. We are in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing oil and gas-related assets. The Company was considered to be in the exploration stage through March 31, 2014. In June 2014, as discussed in Note, 2, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance that removed incremental financial reporting requirements from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for development and exploration stage entities. The Company early adopted this new guidance effective June 30, 2014, as a result of which all inception-to-date financial information and disclosures have been omitted from this report. | |||||||||||||||||
Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of 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. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2014, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Worthington Energy, Inc., and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
Going Concern – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not had significant revenue and is still considered to be in the exploration stage. At September 30, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficit of $6,417,318 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $5,828,867 and a significant portion of the Company’s debt is in default. The Company also used cash of $357,130 in its operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $228,024 during the year ended December 31, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2013 financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company is currently seeking debt and equity financing to fund potential acquisitions and other expenditures, although it does not have any contracts or commitments for either at this time. The Company will have to raise additional funds to continue operations and, while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary additional funds to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations. The Company hopes that working capital will become available via financing activities currently contemplated with regards to its intended operating activities. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available, can be obtained, or if obtained, on terms reasonable to the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. | |||||||||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Worthington Energy, Inc. and of PaxAcq Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates – In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the valuation of long-lived assets, accrued other liabilities, and valuation assumptions related to share-based payments and derivative liability. | |||||||||||||||||
Oil and Gas Properties – The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs, are capitalized. Costs capitalized include acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties, and costs of drilling and equipping productive and nonproductive wells. Drilling costs include directly related overhead costs. Capitalized costs are categorized either as being subject to amortization or not subject to amortization. | |||||||||||||||||
All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, will be amortized, on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no capitalized costs subject to amortization. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is charged to operations. The Company has not yet obtained a reserve report on its producing properties in Kansas because the properties are considered to be in the exploration stage. | |||||||||||||||||
In addition, properties subject to amortization will be subject to a “ceiling test,” which basically limits such costs to the aggregate of the “estimated present value,” based on the projected future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum to present value of future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties. | |||||||||||||||||
Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Abandonments of properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no loss recognized. | |||||||||||||||||
Asset Retirement Obligation – The Company accounts for its future asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) by recording the fair value of the liability during the period in which it was incurred. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The increase in carrying value of a property associated with the capitalization of an ARO is included in oil and gas properties in the balance sheets. The ARO consists of costs related to the plugging of wells, removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on its oil and gas properties. The asset retirement liability is accreted to operating expense over the useful life of the related asset. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had an ARO of $195,512 and $37,288, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition – All revenues are derived from the sale of produced crude oil and natural gas. Revenue and related production taxes and lease operating expenses are recorded in the month the product is delivered to the purchaser. Normally, payment for the revenue, net of related taxes and lease operating expenses, is received from the operator of the well approximately 45 days after the month of delivery. | |||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation – The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards to employees expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make estimates for certain assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected life of options, expected volatility of stock and expected dividend yield of stock. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees and non-employee directors in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration for other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to share-based compensation expense and credited to paid-in capital. | |||||||||||||||||
Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share – Basic loss per common share amounts are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share amounts are computed assuming the issuance of common stock for potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013 there were options, warrants, and stock awards to acquire 2,493,270 and 2,029,594 shares of common stock outstanding and promissory notes and debentures convertible into an aggregate of 32,865,133,013 and 697,345,978 shares of common stock outstanding.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, payable to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd., and payable to former officer approximate fair value because of the immediate or, short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for unsecured convertible promissory notes payable, secured notes payable, and convertible debentures approximate fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates. The fair value of derivative liabilities are estimated based on a probability weighted average Black Scholes-Merton pricing model. | |||||||||||||||||
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the Company uses the following hierarchy of inputs: | |||||||||||||||||
· | Level one – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | ||||||||||||||||
· | Level two – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and | ||||||||||||||||
· | Level three – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use. | ||||||||||||||||

Derivative Financial Instruments – The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. | |||||||||||||||||
Recently Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||||||||||
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 (ASU 2014-08), Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360). ASU 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations or that have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. This new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014.

ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and has not determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. | |||||||||||||||||

ASU 2014-10 eliminates the requirement to present inception-to-date information about income statement line items, cash flows, and equity transactions, and clarifies how entities should disclosure the risks and uncertainties related to their activities. ASU 2014-10 also eliminates an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (ASC Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and the revised consolidation standards will take effect in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (ASU 2014-15), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.

Payables and Accruals [Abstract] | |
Payable to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. and Payable to Tarpon Bay Partners, LLC | Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. |
In March 2012, Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“Ironridge”) filed a complaint against the Company for the payment of $1,388,407 in outstanding accounts payable, accrued compensation, accrued interest, and notes payable of the Company (the “Claim Amount”) that Ironridge had purchased from various creditors of the Company. The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles Central District, and the case was Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. v. Worthington Energy, Inc., Case No. BC 480184. On March 22, 2012, the court approved an Order for Approval of Stipulation for Settlement of Claims (the "Order"). | |
The Order provided for the immediate issuance by the Company of 20,300 shares of common stock (the “Initial Shares”) to Ironridge towards settlement of the Claim Amount. The Order also provided for an adjustment in the total number of shares which may be issuable to Ironridge based on a calculation period for the transaction, defined as that number of consecutive trading days following the date on which the Initial Shares were issued (the “Issuance Date”) required for the aggregate trading volume of the common stock, as reported by Bloomberg LP, to exceed $4.2 million (the "Calculation Period"). Pursuant to the Order, Ironridge would retain 200 shares of the Company's common stock as a fee, plus that number of shares (the “Final Amount”) with an aggregate value equal to (a) the $1,358,135 plus reasonable attorney fees through the end of the Calculation Period, (b) divided by 70% of the following: the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Common Stock over the length of the Calculation Period, as reported by Bloomb erg, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual daily VWAPs of any five trading days during the Calculation Period. The Company has calculated that the Calculation Period ended during the year ended December 31, 2012 and calculated that the Final Amount to be issued under the Order is 856,291 shares of common stock. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2012 when the Final Amount was determined, the Company calculated the fair value of the original liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd to be $1,981,312, that amount which when discounted to 70% of the VWAP and multiplied by the Final Amount, would equal $1,358,135 plus reasonable attorney fees. In so doing, the Company recognized an expense for the excess of the fair value of the resultant liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. in excess of the original carrying amount of the liabilities acquired by Ironridge and adjusted the liability to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. for the fair value adjustment. | |
Since the issuance of the Initial Shares, the Company issued an additional 194,200 shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2012 (for an aggregate value of $531,689) which has been accounted for as the reduction of a proportionate amount of the calculated fair value of the original liability to Ironridge. During the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company issued an additional 6,550,000 shares of common stock to Ironridge with an aggregate value of $1,421,595. At that time, the Company believed it had a remaining obligation to Ironridge of $68,028. However, on February 24, 2014, Ironridge claimed that the Company’s failure to comply with prior order and stipulation has caused them harm and claimed that it was still owed $241,046. A judge awarded Ironridge a third order enforcing a prior order for approval of stipulation for settlement claim by requiring the Company to reserve 1,095,950,732 shares of the Company’s common stock until the balance of the claim is paid. On February 26, 2014, the Company issued to Ironridge 5,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $4,550. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued Ironridge an additional 661,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $119,070 and at September 30, 2014, the balance due to Ironridge was $121,976. | |
Tarpon Bay Partners LLC | |
In 2014, Tarpon Bay Partners LLC (Tarpon) assumed $1.1 million of past due accounts payable and accrued compensation of the Company from various creditors of the Company. Tarpon then commenced an action against the Company to recover the aggregate of the past due accounts. On April 21, 2014, the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit for Leon County, Florida approved an agreement between the Company and Tarpon, in which the Company agreed to issue shares of the Company’s common stock to Tarpon sufficient to generate proceeds equal to the aggregate of the past due accounts. In addition, Tarpon will receive a fee of approximately 43% based on the proceeds. The Company will record the fees as the shares are issued and the past due accounts are paid. The past due accounts assumed are current liabilities until settled under the assignment agreement. | |
In connection with the settlement, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued to Tarpon 310,026,000 shares of common stock valued at $48,917 and at September 30, 2014, the balance due to Tarpon was $1,078,578. |

The convertible promissory notes bear interest from 8% to 12% per annum, are convertible into shares of our common stock at discounts ranging from 49% to 70%, contain reset provisions, and are due from six months to 12 months after the issuance date. Approximately $178,000 of the notes were not paid when due, and are currently in default. Under authoritative guidance of the FASB, due to the variable conversion prices and reset provisions, the Company accounted for the conversion features of these notes as instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions and are deemed to be derivative instruments (see Note 7). The Company determined the aggregate fair value of the derivative liabilities related to these notes was $898,793, of which $447,764 was recorded as note discount (up to the face amount of the notes) to be amortized over the term of the related notes, and the balance of $451,029 is recorded in current period financing costs and penalty interest expense. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Convertible Debentures | In May 2011 the Company sold units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,550,000 at a price of $30,000 per unit, consisting of a secured convertible debenture of $30,000 and a warrant to purchase 400 shares of the Company’s common stock. The debentures were secured by certain oil and gas leases (see Note 2). The convertible debentures matured in May, 2012 and originally accrued interest at 9% per annum. The debentures were convertible at the holder’s option at any time into common stock at a conversion price originally set at $150.00 per share. The Company was in default under the convertible debentures beginning in July 2011, and the Company accrued interest at the default interest rate is 18% per annum commencing on July 1, 2011. |
On May 27, 2014, the Company’s obligations under the secured debentures of $2,453,032 was extinguished in conjunction with the recession of the secured oil and gas leases by the Company (see Note 2). | |
The debentures contained price ratchet anti-dilution protection. The Company has determined that this anti-dilution reset provision caused the conversion feature to be bifurcated from the debentures, treated as a derivative liability, and accounted for as a valuation discount at its fair value. On May 27, 2014, the derivative liability related to the convertible debentures was $5,259,769 and was extinguished due to the recession and recorded as part of the gain on recession (see Notes 2 and 8). |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
Derivative Liabilities | Under the authoritative guidance of the FASB on determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. All of the notes described in Notes 4 and 5 that contain a reset provision or have a conversion price that is a percentage of the market price contain embedded conversion features which are considered derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations. The conversion feature of the Company’s Debentures (described in Note 6), and the related warrants, do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion and exercise prices, respectively, may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future. The Company was required to include the reset provisions in order to protect the holders of the Debentures from the potential dilution associated with future financings. In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the conversion feature of the Debentures was separated from the host contract (i.e., the Debentures) and recognized as a derivative instrument. | ||||||||||||

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the convertible debentures and notes was determined by the maturity date of the notes. The expected life of the warrants was determined by their expiration dates. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future. | |||||||||||||
At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of the aggregate derivative liability of the conversion features and warrants was $2,316,353 and $7,908,415, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized additional derivative liabilities of $898,793, related to the issuances of convertible promissory notes payable (see Note 5). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 the Company recorded a change in fair value of the derivative liability of $1,231,086 and $1,216,999, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, a derivative liability of $5,259,769 related to convertible debentures was extinguished and recorded as part of the recession of notes related to oil and gas properties (see Notes 2 and 7). |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net income was $2,744,108 and the Company did not record any provision for income taxes primarily because the income in 2014 is a result of the extinguishment of a derivative liability due to the recession of the property discussed in Note 2. The income from the removal of the derivative liability is not considered income for tax purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the net loss was $2,057,150 and the Company did not record any provisions for income taxes. |
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, the Company evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard, with significant weight being given to evidence that can be objectively verified. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability; the length of statutory carryover periods for operating losses and tax credit carryovers; and available tax planning alternatives. Our deferred tax assets are composed primarily of U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences related to stock based compensation. Based on available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets are not recognizable and will not be recognizable until its determined that we have sufficient taxable income. We may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods, and disclosures. As of September 30, 2014, the Company does not have any liabilities for unrecognized tax uncertainties. |

Organization | Organization – Paxton Energy, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 30, 2004. On January 27, 2012, Paxton Energy, Inc. changed its name to Worthington Energy, Inc. (the “Company”). On October 2, 2013 the Company effected a 1-for-50 reverse common stock split. All references in these consolidated financial statements and related notes to numbers of shares of common stock, prices per share of common stock, and weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding prior to the reverse stock splits have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock splits on a retroactive basis for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. | ||||||||||||||||
Nature of Operations | Nature of Operations – As further described in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements, the Company commenced acquiring working interests in oil and gas properties in June 2005. We are in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing oil and gas-related assets. The Company was considered to be in the exploration stage through March 31, 2014. In June 2014, as discussed in Note, 2, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance that removed incremental financial reporting requirements from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for development and exploration stage entities. The Company early adopted this new guidance effective June 30, 2014, as a result of which all inception-to-date financial information and disclosures have been omitted from this report. | ||||||||||||||||
Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements | Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of 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. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2014, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Worthington Energy, Inc., and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2014. | ||||||||||||||||
Going Concern | Going Concern – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not had significant revenue and is still considered to be in the exploration stage. At September 30, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficit of $6,417,318 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $5,828,867 and a significant portion of the Company’s debt is in default. The Company also used cash of $357,130 in its operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $228,024 during the year ended December 31, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2013 financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. | ||||||||||||||||
The Company is currently seeking debt and equity financing to fund potential acquisitions and other expenditures, although it does not have any contracts or commitments for either at this time. The Company will have to raise additional funds to continue operations and, while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary additional funds to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations. The Company hopes that working capital will become available via financing activities currently contemplated with regards to its intended operating activities. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available, can be obtained, or if obtained, on terms reasonable to the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. | |||||||||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Worthington Energy, Inc. and of PaxAcq Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates – In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the valuation of long-lived assets, accrued other liabilities, and valuation assumptions related to share-based payments and derivative liability. | ||||||||||||||||
Oil and Gas Properties | Oil and Gas Properties – The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs, are capitalized. Costs capitalized include acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties, and costs of drilling and equipping productive and nonproductive wells. Drilling costs include directly related overhead costs. Capitalized costs are categorized either as being subject to amortization or not subject to amortization. | ||||||||||||||||
All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, will be amortized, on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no capitalized costs subject to amortization. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is charged to operations. The Company has not yet obtained a reserve report on its producing properties in Kansas because the properties are considered to be in the exploration stage. | |||||||||||||||||
In addition, properties subject to amortization will be subject to a “ceiling test,” which basically limits such costs to the aggregate of the “estimated present value,” based on the projected future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum to present value of future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties. | |||||||||||||||||
Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Abandonments of properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no loss recognized. | |||||||||||||||||
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligation – The Company accounts for its future asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) by recording the fair value of the liability during the period in which it was incurred. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The increase in carrying value of a property associated with the capitalization of an ARO is included in oil and gas properties in the balance sheets. The ARO consists of costs related to the plugging of wells, removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on its oil and gas properties. The asset retirement liability is accreted to operating expense over the useful life of the related asset. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had an ARO of $195,512 and $37,288, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition – All revenues are derived from the sale of produced crude oil and natural gas. Revenue and related production taxes and lease operating expenses are recorded in the month the product is delivered to the purchaser. Normally, payment for the revenue, net of related taxes and lease operating expenses, is received from the operator of the well approximately 45 days after the month of delivery. | ||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation – The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards to employees expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make estimates for certain assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected life of options, expected volatility of stock and expected dividend yield of stock. | ||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees and non-employee directors in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration for other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to share-based compensation expense and credited to paid-in capital. | |||||||||||||||||
Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share | Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share – Basic loss per common share amounts are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share amounts are computed assuming the issuance of common stock for potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013 there were options, warrants, and stock awards to acquire 2,493,270 and 2,029,594 shares of common stock outstanding and promissory notes and debentures convertible into an aggregate of 32,865,133,013 and 697,345,978 shares of common stock outstanding.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments | Fair Values of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, payable to Ironridge Global IV, Ltd., and payable to former officer approximate fair value because of the immediate or, short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for unsecured convertible promissory notes payable, secured notes payable, and convertible debentures approximate fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates. The fair value of derivative liabilities are estimated based on a probability weighted average Black Scholes-Merton pricing model. | ||||||||||||||||
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the Company uses the following hierarchy of inputs: | |||||||||||||||||
· | Level one – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | ||||||||||||||||
· | Level two – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and | ||||||||||||||||
· | Level three – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use. | ||||||||||||||||

Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments – The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. | ||||||||||||||||

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted.

ASU 2014-10 eliminates the requirement to present inception-to-date information about income statement line items, cash flows, and equity transactions, and clarifies how entities should disclosure the risks and uncertainties related to their activities. ASU 2014-10 also eliminates an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (ASC Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and the revised consolidation standards will take effect in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-10 effective for its financial statements for the interim period ended June 30, 2014, and will no longer present the inception-to-date information formally required. | |||||||||||||||||
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (ASU 2014-15), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures. | |||||||||||||||||
In November 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-16 (ASU 2014-16), Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current criteria in U.S. GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. The amendments clarify that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of the host contract. The ASU applies to all entities that are issuers of, or investors in, hybrid financial instruments that are issued in the form of a share and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. | |||||||||||||||||
In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-01 (Subtopic 225-20) - Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items. ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of an extraordinary item from GAAP. As a result, an entity will no longer be required to segregate extraordinary items from the results of ordinary operations, to separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations or to disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. However, ASU 2015-01 will still retain the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently. ASU 2015-01 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. | |||||||||||||||||
In February, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted | |||||||||||||||||
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements. |
