Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies | Note 1: Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies Nature of operations Chaparral Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”) are involved in the acquisition, exploration, development, production and operation of oil and natural gas properties. Our properties are located primarily in Oklahoma and our commodity products include crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Reorganization, fresh start accounting and comparability of financial statements to prior periods On May 9, 2016, the Company and ten of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) commencing cases for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On March 10, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed our Reorganization Plan and on March 21, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Reorganization Plan became effective and we emerged from bankruptcy. Upon emergence, all existing equity was canceled and we issued new common stock to the previous holders of our Prior Senior Notes and certain general unsecured creditors whose claims were impaired as a result of our bankruptcy, as well as to certain other parties as set forth in the Reorganization Plan, including to parties participating in a rights offering. Additionally, upon emergence we qualified for and applied fresh start accounting to our financial statements in accordance with the provisions set forth in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 852: Reorganizations, as (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Company prior to its emergence received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Company outstanding following its emergence from bankruptcy and (ii) the reorganization value of our assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Reorganization Plan was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting, as well as the effects of the implementation of the Reorganization Plan, the Company’s consolidated financial statements after March 21, 2017, are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements prior to that date. To facilitate our financial statement presentations, we refer to the post-emergence reorganized company in these consolidated financial statements and footnotes as the “Successor” for periods subsequent to March 21, 2017, and to the pre-emergence company as “Predecessor” for periods prior to and including March 21, 2017. Interim financial statements The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and do not include all of the financial information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The financial information as of September 30, 2018 (Successor), for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 (Successor), the periods of March 22, 2017, through September 30, 2017 (Successor), and the three months ended September 30, 2017 (Successor), is unaudited. The financial information as of December 31, 2017 (Successor), and the period of January 1, 2017, through March 21, 2017 (Predecessor), have been derived from the audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . In management’s opinion, such information contains all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 (Successor) are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to current period presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported results of operations. Cash and cash equivalents We maintain cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts and money market funds which may not be federally insured. As of September 30, 2018 , cash with a recorded balance totaling approximately $46,640 was held at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts. Accounts receivable We have receivables from joint interest owners and oil and natural gas purchasers which are generally uncollateralized. Accounts receivable consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, Joint interests $ 28,867 $ 29,032 Accrued commodity sales 34,381 26,516 Derivative settlements — 157 Other 3,338 5,326 Allowance for doubtful accounts (806 ) (668 ) $ 65,780 $ 60,363 Inventories Inventories consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, Equipment inventory $ 5,282 $ 4,163 Commodities 671 1,154 Inventory valuation allowance (179 ) (179 ) $ 5,774 $ 5,138 Oil and natural gas properties Costs associated with unevaluated oil and natural gas properties are excluded from the amortizable base until a determination has been made as to the existence of proved reserves. Unevaluated leasehold costs are transferred to the amortization base with the costs of drilling the related well upon proving up reserves of a successful well or upon determination of a dry or uneconomic well under a process that is conducted each quarter. Furthermore, unevaluated oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment if events and circumstances exist that indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying amount of such property. The impairment assessment is conducted at least once annually and whenever there are indicators that impairment has occurred. In assessing whether impairment has occurred, we consider factors such as intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; assignment of proved reserves; and economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. Upon determination of impairment, all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and become subject to amortization. The processes above are applied to unevaluated oil and natural gas properties on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. Our future depreciation, depletion and amortization rate would increase if costs are transferred to the amortization base without any associated reserves. In the past, the costs associated with unevaluated properties typically related to acquisition costs of unproved acreage. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting on the Effective Date, a substantial portion of the carrying value of our unevaluated properties are the result of a fair value increase to reflect the value of our acreage in our STACK play. The costs of unevaluated oil and natural gas properties consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, Leasehold acreage $ 532,531 $ 466,711 Capitalized interest 9,289 2,134 Wells and facilities in progress of completion 16,261 13,394 Total unevaluated oil and natural gas properties excluded from amortization $ 558,081 $ 482,239 Ceiling Test. In accordance with the full cost method of accounting, the net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties are not to exceed their related PV-10 value, net of tax considerations, plus the cost of unproved properties not being amortized. Our estimates of oil and natural gas reserves as of September 30, 2018 , and the related PV-10 value, were prepared using an average price for oil and natural gas on the first day of each month for the prior twelve months as required by the SEC. Producer imbalances. We account for natural gas production imbalances using the sales method, whereby we recognize revenue on all natural gas sold to our customers regardless of our proportionate working interest in a well. Liabilities are recorded for imbalances greater than our proportionate share of remaining estimated natural gas reserves. Our aggregate imbalance positions at September 30, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 , were immaterial. Income taxes In December 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”), making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a federal corporate tax rate of 21% , additional limitations on executive compensation, and limitations on the deductibility of interest. The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): "Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 118" to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act. Upon final determination of tax return amounts for the year ended December 31, 2017, we completed the accounting with regard to Section 162(m) provisions under the Act and recorded an immaterial discrete income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, fully offset by a corresponding increase in valuation allowance. Despite the Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we did not record any net deferred tax benefit, as any deferred tax asset arising from the benefit is reduced by a valuation allowance as utilization of the loss carryforwards and realization of other deferred tax assets cannot be reasonably assured. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, we use estimates and judgment regarding our future taxable income, as well as the jurisdiction in which such taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence can include our current financial position, our results of operations, both actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies as well as the current and forecasted business economics of our industry. We will continue to evaluate whether the valuation allowance is needed in future reporting periods. The valuation allowance will remain until we can determine that the net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Future events or new evidence which may lead us to conclude that it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets will be realized include, but are not limited to, cumulative historical pre-tax earnings, improvements in oil prices, and taxable events that could result from one or more transactions. The valuation allowance does not prevent future utilization of the tax attributes if we recognize taxable income. As long as we conclude that the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets is necessary, we likely will not have any additional deferred income tax expense or benefit. The benefit of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return is recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions would be recorded in interest expense and other expense, respectively. There were no uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2018 , or December 31, 2017 . Elements of the Reorganization Plan provided that our indebtedness related to Prior Senior Notes and certain general unsecured claims were exchanged for Successor common stock in settlement of those claims. Absent an exception, a debtor recognizes cancellation of indebtedness income (“CODI”) upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is less than its adjusted issue price. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), provides that a debtor in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case may exclude CODI from taxable income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of any CODI realized as a result of the consummation of a plan of reorganization. The amount of CODI realized by a taxpayer is determined based on the fair market value of the consideration received by the creditors in settlement of outstanding indebtedness. As a result of the market value of equity upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the amount of CODI was $60,398 , which reduced the value of the Company’s net operating losses. IRC Section 382 addresses company ownership changes and specifically limits the utilization of certain deductions and other tax attributes on an annual basis following an ownership change. As a result of the Chapter 11 reorganization and related transactions, the Company experienced an ownership change within the meaning of IRC Section 382 on March 21, 2017. The Company analyzed alternatives available within the IRC to taxpayers in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in order to minimize the impact of the March 21, 2017 ownership change on its tax attributes. Upon filing the 2017 U.S. Federal income tax return, the Company elected an available alternative which resulted in a limitation that subjects existing tax attributes at emergence to an IRC Section 382 limitation that could result in some or all of the remaining net operating loss carryforwards expiring unused. Upon final determination of tax return amounts for the year ended December 31, 2017, including attribute reduction that occurred on January 1, 2018, the Company has total federal net operating loss carryforwards of $1,011,368 including $760,067 which are subject to limitation due to the ownership change that occurred upon emergence from bankruptcy and $251,301 of post-change net operating loss carryforwards not subject to this limitation. The Company estimates that it will incur an additional $85,863 of post-change net operating loss carryforward not subject to the limitation for the tax year ended December 31, 2018. The limitation did not result in a current tax liability for the tax year ended December 31, 2017 and is not expected to result in a tax liability for the tax year ended December 31, 2018. Other Other consisted of the following: Three months ended Nine months ended Restructuring $ — $ 425 Subleases 402 1,208 Total other expense $ 402 $ 1,633 Restructuring . We previously incurred exit costs in conjunction with our EOR asset divestiture, which are predominantly comprised of one-time severance and termination benefits for the affected employees. The expense recorded in 2018 is a result of termination benefits for the final slate of employees terminated as a result of the divestiture. Subleases . Our subleases are comprised of CO 2 compressors that were previously utilized in our EOR operations and leased as capital and operating leases from U.S. Bank but are now subleased to the purchaser of our EOR assets (the “Sublessee”). Minimum payments under the subleases are equal to the original leases. Subsequent to the execution of the subleases, all payments received from the Sublessee are reflected as revenues on our statement of operations. Payments we make to U.S. Bank on the original operating leases, which are disclosed in the table above, are reflected in “Other” on our statement of operations while payments on the original capital leases are a reduction of debt and recognition of interest expense. With respect to the capital leases, we have reclassified the amount associated with these leases from the full cost amortization base to plant, property and equipment on our balance sheet and are amortizing the asset on a straight line basis prospectively. Please see “Note 1— Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies”,” Note 8— Debt”, and “Note 16— Commitments and contingencies” in Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary Data of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which contains additional information about our leases. Joint development agreement On September 25, 2017, we entered into a joint development agreement (“JDA”) with BCE Roadrunner LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bayou City Energy Management, LLC (“BCE”), pursuant to which BCE will fund 100 percent of our drilling, completion and equipping costs associated with 30 joint venture STACK wells, subject to average well cost caps that vary by well-type across location and targeted formations, approximately between $3,400 and $4,000 per gross well. The JDA wells, which will be drilled and operated by us, include 17 wells in Canadian County and 13 wells in Garfield County. The JDA provides us with a means to accelerate the delineation of our position within our Garfield and Canadian County acreage, realizing further efficiencies and holding additional acreage by production, and potentially adding reserves. In exchange for funding, BCE will receive wellbore-only interest in each well totaling an 85% carve-out working interest from our original working interest (and we retain 15% ) until the program reaches a 14% internal rate of return. Once achieved, ownership interest in all JDA wells will revert such that we will own a 75% working interest and BCE will retain a 25% working interest. We will retain all acreage and reserves outside of the wellbore, with both parties entitled to revenues and paying lease operating expenses based on their working interest. Our drilling and completion costs to date have been exceeding well cost caps specified under the JDA primarily due to inflation in the cost of oilfield services as a result of the rebound in industry conditions. In our negotiation with BCE to cover the inflationary cost increases, BCE had indicated willingness to increase the per well cost caps on remaining wells in exchange for adding more wells to the current program. Since we have achieved our goals to utilize the JDA as a means to delineate our acreage Garfield and Canadian counties, Oklahoma, we do not currently plan for any expansion of the JDA. We have therefore recorded additions to oil and natural gas properties of $7,834 in cumulative drilling and completion costs on JDA wells that have exceeded the well cost caps specified under the JDA. Cost reduction initiatives Cost reduction initiatives include expenses related to our efforts to reduce our capital, operating and administrative costs in response to industry conditions. The expense consists of costs for one-time severance and termination benefits in connection with our reductions in force and third party legal and professional services we have engaged to assist in our cost savings initiatives as follows: Successor Predecessor Three months ended September 30, 2018 Three months ended September 30, 2017 Nine months ended September 30, 2018 Period from March 22, 2017 through September 30, 2017 Period from One-time severance and termination benefits $ 210 $ 30 $ 1,034 $ 142 $ 608 Professional fees — 4 — 13 21 Total cost reduction initiatives expense $ 210 $ 34 $ 1,034 $ 155 $ 629 Reorganization items Reorganization items reflect, where applicable, expenses, gains and losses incurred that are incremental and a direct result of the reorganization of the business. As a result of our emergence from bankruptcy, we have also recorded gains on the settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and gains from restating our balance sheet to fair values under fresh start accounting. “Professional fees” in the table below for periods subsequent to the Effective Date are comprised of legal fees for continuing work to resolve outstanding bankruptcy claims and fees to the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee, which we will continue to incur until our bankruptcy case is closed. Reorganization items are as follows: Successor Predecessor Three months ended September 30, 2018 Three months ended September 30, 2017 Nine months ended September 30, 2018 Period from March 22, 2017 through September 30, 2017 Period from Loss (gain) on the settlement of liabilities subject to compromise $ — $ — $ 48 $ — $ (372,093 ) Fresh start accounting adjustments — — — — (641,684 ) Professional fees 493 858 1,962 2,548 18,790 Rejection of employment contracts — — — — 4,573 Write off unamortized issuance costs on Prior Credit Facility — — — — 1,687 Total reorganization items $ 493 $ 858 $ 2,010 $ 2,548 $ (988,727 ) Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that supersedes previous revenue recognition requirements and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Please see “Note 5—Revenue recognition” for our disclosure regarding adoption of this update. In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities constitutes a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described under updated revenue recognition guidance. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2018, without a material impact to our financial statements. We expect that the new guidance, when applied to the facts and circumstances of a future transaction, may impact the likelihood whether a future transaction would be accounted for as a business combination. In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends existing requirements on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The standard principally affects accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2018, with no material impact to our financial statements or results of operations. In August 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which provides clarification on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified on the statement of cash flows. This update provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies including bank-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and is required to be adopted using a retrospective approach if practicable. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2018, without a material impact on our financial statements or results of operations. In November 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2018, with no material impact to our financial statements or results of operations. Recently issued accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance significantly amending the current accounting for leases. Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less. Furthermore, all leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) a financing lease or (ii) an operating lease. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged with the exception that no leases entered into after the effective date will be classified as leveraged leases. For sale leaseback transactions, a sale will only be recognized if the criteria in the new revenue recognition standard are met. For public business entities, this guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods thereafter, and currently should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. Our planned adoption of the new standard will utilize the transition option that allows us to apply legacy guidance, including disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. This transition option was one of several practical expedients introduced in a July 2018 guidance update. Our current operating leases are predominantly comprised of a limited number of leases for CO 2 compressors. However, we also enter into contractual arrangements relating to rights of ways or surface use that are typical of upstream oil and gas operations. We are currently assessing whether such arrangements are included in the new guidance, especially in light of a guidance update issued in January 2018 which provides a practical expedient on land easements. The land easement practical expedient allows an entity to continue its legacy accounting policy for land easements that exist or expire before the new standard’s effective date and which are not accounted for under the current lease standard. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and as contracts are reviewed under the new standard, this analysis could result in an impact to our financial statements; however, that impact is currently not known. In June 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, however early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The updated guidance impacts our financial statements primarily due to its effect on our accounts receivables. Our history of accounts receivable credit losses almost entirely relates to receivables from joint interest owners in our operated oil and natural gas wells. Based on this history and on mitigating actions we are permitted to take to offset potential losses such as netting past due amounts against revenue and assuming title to the working interest, we do not expect this guidance to materially impact our financial statements or results of operations. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Note 2: Earnings per share We have not historically presented earnings per share (“EPS”) because our common stock did not previously trade on a public market, either on a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Accordingly, we were permitted under accounting guidance to omit such disclosure. However, on July 24, 2018 , our Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “CHAP”. From May 26, 2017 , through July 23, 2018 , our Class A common stock was quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol “CHPE”. From May 18, 2017, through May 25, 2017, our Class A common stock was quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace under the symbol “CHHP”. Our Class B common stock is not listed or quoted on the OTCQB or any other national exchange. Our Class A and Class B common stock shares equally in dividends and undistributed earnings. Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, our Class B common stock will convert to Class A common stock at the latest on December 15, 2018. We are presenting basic and diluted EPS for all Successor periods subsequent to our emergence from bankruptcy but are not presenting EPS for any Predecessor period. We are required under accounting guidance to compute EPS using the two-class method which considers multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. All securities that meet the definition of a participating security are to be included in the computation of basic EPS under the two-class method. A reconciliation of the components of basic and diluted EPS is presented below: Nine months ended September 30, 2018 Period from March 22, 2017 through September 30, 2017 Three months ended September 30, (in thousands, except share and per share data) 2018 2017 Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share Net loss $ (12,068 ) $ (19,115 ) $ (45,503 ) $ (17,433 ) Denominator for basic earnings per share Weighted average common shares - Basic for Class A and Class B 45,333,745 44,982,142 45,272,595 44,982,142 Denominator for diluted earnings per share Weighted average common shares - Diluted for Class A and Class B (1) 45,333,745 44,982,142 45,272,595 44,982,142 Earnings per share Basic for Class A and Class B $ (0.27 ) $ (0.42 ) $ (1.01 ) $ (0.39 ) Diluted for Class A and Class B $ (0.27 ) $ (0.42 ) $ (1.01 ) $ (0.39 ) Participating securities excluded from earnings per share calculations Unvested restricted stock awards (2) 1,126,669 1,796,943 1,126,669 1,796,943 ________________________________ (1) During the 2017 periods presented, 140,023 warrants were outstanding. All such warrants expired on June 30, 2018. The warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock were antidilutive due to the exercise price exceeding the average price of our Class A shares for the periods presented and due to the net losses we incurred. (2) Our unvested restricted stock awards are considered to be participating securities as they include non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event a dividend is paid on our common stock. Our participating securities do not participate in undistributed net losses because they are not contractually obligated to do so and hence are not included in the computation of EPS in periods when a net loss occurs. Figures reflect period end amounts. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt and Capital Leases | Note 4: Debt and capital leases As of the dates indicated, long-term debt and capital leases consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, 8.75% Senior Notes due 2023 $ 300,000 $ — New Credit Facility — 127,100 Real estate mortgage note 8,738 9,177 Installment note payable 371 — Capital lease obligations 12,358 14,361 Unamortized debt issuance costs (12,263 ) (5,979 ) Total debt, net 309,204 144,659 Less current portion 3,444 3,273 Total long-term debt, net $ 305,760 $ 141,386 New Credit Facility The New Credit Facility is a $400,000 facility collateralized by our oil and natural gas properties and is scheduled to mature on December 21, 2022 . Availability under our New Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base based on the value of our oil and natural gas properties and set by the banks semi-annually on or around May 1 and November 1 of each year. On June 29, 2018, we repaid $243,100 , representing the entire outstanding balance with proceeds from the issuance of our Senior Notes discussed below. Based on a borrowing base of $265,000 , availability on the New Credit Facility as of September 30, 2018 , after taking into account letters of credit, was $264,172 . As of June 29, 2018 (the day immediately preceding payment in full of the entire outstanding balance), our outstanding borrowings were accruing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the New Credit Facility), plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the New Credit Facility), which resulted in a weighted average interest rate of 5.31% . The New Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require, for each fiscal quarter, we maintain: (1) a Current Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) of no less than 1.00 to 1.00, and (2) a Ratio of Total Debt to EBITDAX (as defined in the New Credit Facility) of no greater than 4.0 to 1.0 calculated on a trailing four -quarter basis. We were in compliance with these financials covenants as of September 30, 2018 . The New Credit Facility contains covenants and events of default customary for oil and natural gas reserve-based lending facilities. Please see “Note 8—Debt” in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, for a discussion of the material provisions of our New Credit Facility. Effective May 9, 2018, we entered into the First Amendment to the Tenth Restated Credit Agreement, among the Company and its subsidiaries, as borrowers, certain financial institutions party thereto, as lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Amendment”). The Amendment reaffirmed our borrowing base at the same level of $285,000 . In addition, the Amendment provided us with: (i) an increase from $150,000 to $250,000 to the aggregate amount of secured debt allowed, (ii) a waiver on the automatic reduction to the borrowing base calculation for the issuance of up to $300,000 in unsecured debt, (iii) the ability to offset the total debt calculation in the financial covenant calculations by up to $50,000 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents whenever we do not have outstanding borrowings on the facility, and (iv) permission to make payments on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement, acquisition, cancellation or termination of our equity of up to $50,000 . Under the New Credit Facility, in the event of asset divestitures which occur between scheduled borrowing base redeterminations, individually or in aggregate amounting to more than 5% of the borrowing base value assigned to the disposed assets, an automatic borrowing base reduction under the Triggering Disposition clause (as defined in the New Credit Facility) would occur. In conjunction with the Triggering Disposition clause, we executed a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with the lenders under our New Credit Facility. The Letter Agreement decreased the borrowing base by $20,000 to $265,000 following the closing of several non-core asset divestitures which included the divestiture of certain properties in the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandle, which closed on July 27, 2018, for gross cash proceeds before selling costs of $17,000 and the conveyance of $629 in liabilities to the buyer, and two additional divestitures which closed in June 2018 for total proceeds of $6,913 . The Letter Agreement, which was effective July 27, 2018, also excludes the property divestitures above from future determinations of whether a Triggering Disposition has occurred. See further discussion about these divestitures in “Note 11 – Divestitures.” Our November 2018 borrowing base redetermination is currently in process. 8.75% Senior Notes On June 29, 2018, we completed the issuance and sale at par of $300,000 in aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The offering costs were $7,337 resulting in net proceeds of $292,663 , which we used to repay the New Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.75% per year beginning June 29, 2018 (payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2019 ) and will mature on July 15, 2023 . The Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, senior to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The indenture governing our Senior Notes contains certain covenants which limit our ability to: • incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock; • pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock; • make certain investments; • incur certain liens; • enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; • sell assets; • enter into agreements restricting their ability to pay dividends or make other payments; • consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets; and • create unrestricted subsidiaries. Prior to July 15, 2020, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or, from time to time, a part of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus an applicable make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. On or after July 15, 2020 , the Company may, at its option, redeem all or, from time to time, a part of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a premium declining ratably to par and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. On any one or more occasions prior to July 15, 2020, the Company, at its option, may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with proceeds of one or more qualified equity offerings at a redemption price of 108.75% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and liquidated damages provided that: 1) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding after each such redemption; and 2) such redemption occurs within 180 days after the closing of any such qualified equity offering Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture), the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes may declare the entire principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately. If the Company experiences certain kinds of changes of control, holders of the Senior Notes will be entitled to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the Senior Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Chaparral Energy, Inc. is a holding company and owns no operating assets and has no significant operations independent of its subsidiaries. Our obligations under our outstanding Senior Notes have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by all of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Capital Leases In 2013, we entered into lease financing agreements with U.S. Bank for $24,500 through the sale and subsequent leaseback of existing compressors owned by us. The carrying value of these compressors is included in our oil and natural gas full cost pool. The lease financing obligations are for terms of 84 months and include the option to purchase the equipment for a specified price at 72 months as well as an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for its then-current fair market value. Lease payments related to the equipment are recognized as principal and interest expense based on a weighted average implicit interest rate of 3.8% . Minimum lease payments are approximately $3,181 annually. In conjunction with the sale of our EOR assets, these compressors were subleased to the buyer of those assets although we remain the primary obligor in relation to U.S. Bank. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | Note 5: Revenue recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that supersedes previous revenue recognition requirements which has been codified as Accounting Standards Codification 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Description of products and revenue disaggregation Our revenue is predominantly derived from the production and sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs which, prior to January 1, 2018, was reported in the aggregate as “Commodity sales” on our statement of operations. Substantially all our oil and natural gas properties are located in Oklahoma and Texas and are sold to midstream gas processing plants or crude oil refineries in the vicinity. We have disaggregated revenue based on the separate commodities being sold: crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. In selecting the disaggregation categories, we considered a number of factors such as those affecting supply and demand and thus market prices, storage and the ability to transport the product, industry specific disclosures required by the SEC and FASB, other external disclosures we typically make, and information we have historically presented in the management discussion and analysis section of our annual and quarterly reports. As such, we believe that disaggregating revenue by commodity type appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following table displays the revenue disaggregated and reconciles the disaggregated revenue to the revenue reported: Three months ended Nine months ended Revenues: Oil $ 46,576 $ 132,378 Natural gas 9,458 26,584 Natural gas liquids 14,078 34,789 Gross commodity sales 70,112 193,751 Transportation and processing (4,593 ) (11,916 ) Net commodity sales $ 65,519 $ 181,835 Performance Obligations Our oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids contracts typically contain only one type of performance obligation, which is for the delivery of the underlying commodity, and which is satisfied at the point in time the commodity is transferred to the customer. We consider each commodity (ex. barrel of oil or MMBtu of natural gas) to be a separate performance obligation. For natural gas and natural gas liquids, all our sales are to midstream processing entities engaged in the processing of gas and marketing the resulting residue gas and NGLs to third party customers. We transfer control of the product to the midstream processing customer at the wellhead and recognize revenue upon such delivery. Under our oil sales contracts, we generally sell oil to the purchaser from storage tanks near the wellhead and collect a contractually agreed upon index price, net of pricing differentials. We transfer control of the product from the storage tanks to the purchaser and recognize revenue based on the contract price. We do not engage in activities to purchase and sell third party natural gas and NGLs. As a result, the commodity revenues we recognize are only for our working interest share of the production. Pricing and measurement All of our contracts use market or index-based pricing resulting in the entire transaction price being variable. Since our sales transactions meet the variable allocation criteria in the standard, all consideration is allocated entirely to performance obligations satisfied by distinct commodity units delivered. We record revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements for our commodity sales are received one to three months after the date production is delivered, and as a result, we are required to estimate the amount of production that was delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. We record the differences between our estimates and the actual amounts for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Historically, differences between our revenue estimates and actual revenue received have not been significant. We receive payment for a majority of our sales receivables in the month following delivery and substantially all within three months following delivery. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material. Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations For our product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, we have utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606, which states that a company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Each unit of product delivered to the customer represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. For our product sales that have a contract term of one year or less, we have utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606, which states that a company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. Nature of gas contracts All our natural gas and NGL production is sold to midstream processing entities and we do not elect to take our residue gas and/or NGLs in-kind at the tailgate of processing plant. The midstream customer provides us with services such as compressing the gas, transporting the gas to the processing plant and processing it into the separate commodity streams for fees which are deducted from the revenue we receive. We previously reported fees for these services as “Transportation and processing” expenses in our statement of operations. Under ASC 606, since control and possession of the gas is transferred to the customer at the wellhead prior to the receipt of the aforementioned services, the customer is not deemed to be providing a distinct service and any fees paid to the customer are accounted for as a reduction in revenue. We have presented transportation and processing fees as a revenue deduction for the fiscal period beginning January 1, 2018, while our presentation for prior periods remains unchanged. Contract assets and liabilities We recognize a receivable for the unconditional right to receive consideration when the commodity is transferred to the customer, at which point the performance obligation is satisfied. All our contract assets are in the form of receivables which are presented as “Accrued commodity sales” in our tabular disclosure of accounts receivable in Note 1—Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies. Since we are not entitled to advance payments from our customers prior to the transfer of our commodities nor do receive such payments, we do not have contract liabilities . Method of adoption We adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. Based on an assessment of our contracts, the new guidance did not have a material impact on prior net income and therefore we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. Reconciliation of Income Statement In accordance with ASC 606, the disclosure of the impact of adoption on our income statement is as follows: Three months ended September 30, 2018 As reported Balances without adoption of ASC 606 Effect of change Revenues Net commodity sales $ 65,519 $ 70,112 $ (4,593 ) Costs and expenses Transportation and processing $ — $ (4,593 ) $ 4,593 Nine months ended September 30, 2018 As reported Balances without adoption of ASC 606 Effect of change Revenues Net commodity sales $ 181,835 $ 193,751 $ (11,916 ) Costs and expenses Transportation and processing $ — $ (11,916 ) $ 11,916 |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative instruments | Note 6: Derivative instruments Overview Our results of operations, financial condition and capital resources are highly dependent upon the prevailing market prices of, and demand for, oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. These commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations and market uncertainties. To mitigate a portion of this exposure, we enter into various types of derivative instruments, including commodity price swaps, collars, put options, enhanced swaps and basis protection swaps. See “Note 9—Derivative Instruments” in Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary Data of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, for a description of the various kinds of derivatives we may enter into. During the second quarter of 2018, we entered into additional derivative contracts to hedge our exposure to natural gas liquids pricing, specifically propane and natural gasoline, natural gas basis differentials and the WTI NYMEX calendar month average roll (“oil roll”), which is a contractual component of our crude oil sales prices. The following table summarizes our crude oil derivatives outstanding as of September 30, 2018 : Weighted average fixed price per Bbl Period and type of contract Volume MBbls Swaps Purchased puts Sold calls 2018 Oil swaps 515 $ 58.21 $ — $ — Oil collars 46 $ — $ 50.00 $ 60.50 Oil roll swaps 150 $ 0.59 $ — $ — 2019 Oil swaps 1,562 $ 55.90 $ — $ — Oil roll swaps 530 $ 0.52 $ — $ — 2020 Oil swaps 1,548 $ 49.54 $ — $ — Oil roll swaps 410 $ 0.38 $ — $ — 2021 Oil swaps 543 $ 44.34 $ — $ — Oil roll swaps 150 $ 0.30 $ — $ — The following table summarizes our natural gas derivatives outstanding as of September 30, 2018 : Period and type of contract Volume BBtu Weighted average fixed price per MMBtu 2018 Natural gas swaps 2,519 $ 2.88 Natural gas basis swaps 1,500 $ 0.70 2019 Natural gas swaps 7,632 $ 2.81 Natural gas basis swaps 2,500 $ 0.70 2020 Natural gas swaps 3,600 $ 2.77 The following table summarizes our natural gas liquid derivatives outstanding as of September 30, 2018 : Period and type of contract Volume Gallons Weighted average fixed price per gallon 2018 Natural gasoline swaps 1,512 $ 1.55 Propane swaps 3,528 $ 0.88 2019 Natural gasoline swaps 4,956 $ 1.39 Propane swaps 11,466 $ 0.74 2020 Natural gasoline swaps 1,890 $ 1.39 Propane swaps 4,284 $ 0.74 In February 2018, we renegotiated the fixed pricing of certain crude oil swaps scheduled to settle during 2018 in exchange for entering crude oil swaps, scheduled to settle from 2020 through 2021, at lower-than-market pricing. The renegotiated swaps cover 1,086 MBbls and have a new fixed price of $60.00 per barrel, replacing the original weighted average fixed price of $54.80 per barrel. The new crude oil swaps scheduled to settle from 2020 through 2021 have weighted average fixed prices of $46.26 and $44.34 per barrel, respectively, and cover 543 MBbls each year. Effect of derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. See “Note 7—Fair value measurements” for additional information regarding fair value measurements. The estimated fair values of derivative instruments are provided below.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair value measurements | Note 7: Fair value measurements Fair value is defined by the FASB as 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. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. Fair value measurements are categorized according to the fair value hierarchy defined by the FASB. The hierarchical levels are based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities as follows: • Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. • Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the asset or liability is categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy. Recurring fair value measurements As of September 30, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 , our financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of commodity derivative contracts (see “Note 6—Derivative instruments”). We had no Level 1 assets or liabilities. Our derivative contracts classified as Level 2 consisted of commodity price swaps and oil roll swaps which are valued using an income approach. Future cash flows from the commodity price swaps are estimated based on the difference between the fixed contract price and the underlying published forward market price. Our derivative contracts classified as Level 3 consisted of collars and natural gas basis swaps. The fair value of these contracts is developed by a third-party pricing service using a proprietary valuation model, which we believe incorporates the assumptions that market participants would have made at the end of each period. Observable inputs include contractual terms, published forward pricing curves, and yield curves. Significant unobservable inputs are implied volatilities and proprietary pricing curves. Significant increases (decreases) in implied volatilities in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. We review these valuations and the changes in the fair value measurements for reasonableness. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and include a measure of our own nonperformance risk for derivative liabilities or our counterparty credit risk for derivative assets. The fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities is shown by the following table: As at September 30, 2018 As at December 31, 2017 Derivative assets Derivative liabilities Net assets (liabilities) Derivative assets Derivative liabilities Net assets (liabilities) Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $ 630 $ (69,172 ) $ (68,542 ) $ 1,332 $ (14,163 ) $ (12,831 ) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) 172 (577 ) (405 ) — (295 ) (295 ) Netting adjustments (1) (802 ) 802 — (1,332 ) 1,332 — $ — $ (68,947 ) (68,947 ) $ — $ (13,126 ) $ (13,126 ) ________________________________ (1) Amounts represent the impact of master netting agreements that allow us to net settle positive and negative positions with the same counterparty. Positive and negative positions with counterparties are netted on the balance sheet only to the extent that they relate to the same current versus noncurrent classification. Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments, classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, were as follows for the periods presented: Successor Predecessor Nine months ended Period from March 22, 2017 through September 30, 2017 Period from Net derivative assets (liabilities) September 30, 2018 Beginning balance $ (295 ) $ 715 $ (98 ) Realized and unrealized (losses) gains included in derivative (losses) gains (1,069 ) (259 ) 813 Settlements paid 959 — — Ending balance $ (405 ) $ 456 $ 715 (Losses) gains relating to instruments still held at the reporting date included in derivative (losses) gains for the period $ (342 ) $ (259 ) $ 813 Nonrecurring fair value measurements Asset retirement obligations. Additions to the asset and liability associated with our asset retirement obligations are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Our asset retirement obligations consist of the estimated present value of future costs to plug and abandon or otherwise dispose of our oil and natural gas properties and related facilities. Significant inputs used in determining such obligations include estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, inflation rates, discount rates, and well life, all of which are Level 3 inputs according to the fair value hierarchy. The estimated future costs to dispose of properties added during the first nine months of 2018 and 2017 were escalated using an annual inflation rate of 2.26% and 2.30% , respectively. The estimated future costs to dispose of properties added during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , were discounted with a credit-adjusted risk-free rate ranging from 6.92% to 8.77% . For the properties added during the period from March 22, 2017, through September 30, 2017 , a credit-adjusted risk-free rate range from 5.20% to 7.63% was used. These estimates may change based upon future inflation rates and changes in statutory remediation rules. See “Note 8—Asset retirement obligations” for additional information regarding our asset retirement obligations. Fair value of other financial instruments Our significant financial instruments, other than derivatives, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. We believe the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value and estimated fair value of our debt were as follows: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Level 2 Carrying value (1) Estimated fair value Carrying value (1) Estimated fair value 8.75% Senior Notes due 2023 $ 300,000 $ 299,718 $ — $ — New Credit Facility — — 127,100 127,100 Other secured debt 9,109 9,109 9,177 9,177 ________________________________ (1) The carrying value excludes deductions for debt issuance costs. The carrying value of our New Credit Facility and other secured long-term debt approximates fair value because the rates are comparable to those at which we could currently borrow under similar terms, are variable and incorporate a measure of our credit risk. The fair value of our Senior Notes was estimated based on quoted market prices. Counterparty credit risk Our derivative contracts are executed with institutions, or affiliates of institutions, that are parties to our credit facilities at the time of execution, and we believe the credit risks associated with all of these institutions are acceptable. We do not require collateral or other security from counterparties to support derivative instruments. Master agreements are in place with each of our derivative counterparties which provide for net settlement in the event of default or termination of the contracts under each respective agreement. As a result of the netting provisions, our maximum amount of loss under derivative transactions due to credit risk is limited to the net amounts due from the counterparties under the derivatives. Our loss is further limited as any amounts due from a defaulting counterparty that is a Lender, or an affiliate of a Lender, under our credit facilities can be offset against amounts owed to such counterparty Lender. As of September 30, 2018 , the counterparties to our open derivative contracts consisted of five financial institutions, of which all were lenders under our New Credit Facility. The following table summarizes our derivative assets and liabilities which are offset in the consolidated balance sheets under our master netting agreements. It also reflects the amounts outstanding under our credit facilities that are available to offset our net derivative assets due from counterparties that are lenders under our credit facilities. Offset in the consolidated balance sheets Gross amounts not offset in the consolidated balance sheets Gross assets (liabilities) Offsetting assets (liabilities) Net assets (liabilities) Derivatives (1) Amounts outstanding under credit facilities (2) Net amount September 30, 2018 Derivative assets $ 802 $ (802 ) $ — $ — $ — $ — Derivative liabilities (69,749 ) 802 (68,947 ) — — (68,947 ) $ (68,947 ) $ — $ (68,947 ) $ — $ — $ (68,947 ) December 31, 2017 Derivative assets $ 1,332 $ (1,332 ) $ — $ — $ — $ — Derivative liabilities (14,458 ) 1,332 (13,126 ) — — (13,126 ) $ (13,126 ) $ — $ (13,126 ) $ — $ — $ (13,126 ) ________________________________ (1) Since positive and negative positions with a counterparty are netted on the balance sheet only to the extent that they relate to the same current versus noncurrent classification, these represent remaining amounts that could have been offset under our master netting agreements. (2) The amount outstanding under our New Credit Facility that is available to offset our net derivative assets due from counterparties that are lenders under our New Credit Facility. We did not post additional collateral under any of these contracts as all of our counterparties are secured by the collateral under our credit facilities. Payment on our derivative contracts could be accelerated in the event of a default on our New Credit Facility. The aggregate fair value of our derivative liabilities subject to acceleration in the event of default was $69,749 before offsets at September 30, 2018 . |

Share-based Compensation [Abstract] | |
Deferred Compensation | Note 9: Deferred compensation Cash Incentive Plan We adopted the Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (the “Cash LTIP”) on August 7, 2015. The Cash LTIP provides additional cash compensation to certain employees of the Company in the form of awards that generally vest in equal annual increments over a four -year period. Since the awards do not vary according to the value of the Company’s equity, the awards are not considered “stock-based compensation” under accounting guidance. We accrue for the cost of each annual increment over the period service is required to vest. A summary of compensation expense for the Cash LTIP is presented below: Successor Predecessor Three months ended Three months ended Nine months ended Period from March 22, 2017 through September 30, 2017 Period from Cash LTIP expense (net of amounts capitalized) $ 185 $ 493 $ 473 $ 1,100 $ 5 Cash LTIP awarded 127 2,316 174 5,637 — Cash LTIP payments 1,166 1,285 1,183 1,285 42 As of September 30, 2018 , the outstanding liability accrued for our Cash LTIP, based on requisite service provided, was $1,182 . In October 2018, the Cash LTIP plan was replaced by the Chaparral Energy Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Employee LTIP") discussed below. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan Prior to the Effective Date, stock awards were granted under the Chaparral Energy, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) which was implemented on April 12, 2010. The awards granted under the 2010 Plan consisted of shares that were subject to service vesting conditions and shares that were subject to market and performance vested conditions. As of result of our bankruptcy and subsequent emergence, all unvested restricted stock was cancelled on the Effective Date. 2017 Management Incentive Plan Our Reorganization Plan authorized the issuance of seven percent of outstanding Successor common shares on a fully diluted basis toward a new management incentive plan. On August 9, 2017, we adopted the Chaparral Energy, Inc. Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”). The MIP provides for the following types of awards: options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and other incentive awards. The aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, reserved for issuance pursuant to the MIP was initially set at 3,388,832 subject to changes in the event additional shares of common stock are issued under our Reorganization Plan. The MIP contemplates that any award granted under the plan may provide for the earlier termination of restrictions and acceleration of vesting in the event of a Change in Control, as may be described in the particular award agreement. Pursuant to the MIP, we have granted restricted stock to employees and members of our Board of Directors (the “Board”). Of the grants awarded to employees, 75% were comprised of shares that are subject to service vesting conditions (the “Time Shares”) and 25% were comprised of shares that are subject to performance or market-based vesting conditions (the “Performance Shares”). All grants to the Board were Time Shares. Both the Time and Performance Shares are classified as equity-based awards. Compensation cost is generally recognized and measured according to the grant date fair value of the awards which are based on the market price of our common stock for awards with service and performance conditions. The Time Shares vest in equal annual installments over the three -year vesting period. The Performance Shares vest in three tranches annually according to performance or market-based conditions established each year which generally relate to profitability, stock returns, drilling results and other strategic goals. As of September 30, 2018 , performance or market-based goals have not been established for Performance Shares allocated for vesting subsequent to 2018 and hence a grant date with respect to those tranches has not been established for accounting purposes and expense has not been recognized thus far. Vesting conditions for Performance Shares vesting in 2018 were established and approved by our Board in May 2018 and we have commenced recognizing expense for the related shares in the second quarter of 2018. Of the Performance Shares scheduled for vesting in 2018, 20% are allocated to a market condition that is based on our stock return relative to a group of peer companies. The fair value of these market condition shares was estimated utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation with stock price volatility, the risk free rate, dividend yields and stock price correlation among peer companies as primary inputs into the model. A summary of our restricted stock activity pursuant to our MIP is presented below: Time Shares Performance Shares Weighted average award date fair value Restricted shares Vest date fair value Weighted average award date fair value Restricted shares ($ per share) ($ per share) Unvested and outstanding at January 1, 2018 $ 20.11 1,403,626 $ 20.15 $ 269,476 Granted $ 18.75 41,250 $ 18.75 $ 13,750 Vested $ 20.05 (435,980 ) $ 7,717 $ — $ — Forfeited $ 20.05 (130,972 ) $ 20.05 $ (34,481 ) Unvested and outstanding at September 30, 2018 $ 20.09 877,924 $ 20.10 $ 248,745 2018 Employee LTIP On October 1, 2018, we granted 130,008 restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Employee LTIP. Of these grants, 92,017 RSUs are to be settled in stock upon vesting while 37,991 RSUs are to be settled in cash. These awards, which are service-based, will vest in equal installments over a three -year period. Companywide stock award New employees are eligible for a grant of 100 shares subsequent to being employed for a certain period of time. There are no vesting requirements for these awards and thus compensation is recognized in full on the award date based on the closing price of our common stock on that date. In October 2018, 600 shares were awarded to new employees which were the first of such awards in 2018. Stock-based compensation cost Compensation cost is calculated net of forfeitures. As allowed by recent accounting guidance, we recognize the impact of forfeitures due to employee terminations on expense as they occur instead of incorporating an estimate of such forfeitures. For awards with performance conditions, we will assess the probability that a performance condition will be achieved at each reporting period to determine whether and when to recognize compensation cost. For awards with market conditions, expense is recognized on the entire value of the award regardless of the vesting outcome so long as the participant remains employed. A portion of stock-based compensation cost associated with employees involved in our acquisition, exploration, and development activities has been capitalized as part of our oil and natural gas properties. The remaining cost is reflected in lease operating and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense is as follows for the periods indicated: Successor Predecessor Three months ended Three months ended Nine months ended Period from March 22, 2017 through September 30, 2017 Period from Stock-based compensation cost $ 3,112 $ 3,577 $ 11,027 $ 3,577 $ 194 Less: stock-based compensation cost capitalized (807 ) (801 ) (2,428 ) (801 ) (39 ) Stock-based compensation expense $ 2,305 $ 2,776 $ 8,599 $ 2,776 $ 155 Number of vested shares repurchased — — 256,895 — — Payments for stock-based compensation $ — $ — $ 4,872 $ — $ — Based on a quarter end market price of $17.62 per share of our Class A common stock, the aggregate intrinsic value of all restricted shares outstanding was $19,852 as of September 30, 2018 . The repurchases of shares and associated payments disclosed above were primarily for tax withholding and are reflected as treasury stock transactions on our consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. As of September 30, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 , there were no accrued payroll and benefits payable included for stock-based compensation costs expected to be settled within the next twelve months. Unrecognized stock-based compensation cost of approximately $8,831 as of September 30, 2018 , is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years . |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and contingencies | Note 10: Commitments and contingencies Standby letters of credit (“Letters”) available under our New Credit Facility are used in lieu of surety bonds with various organizations for liabilities relating to the operation of oil and natural gas properties. We had Letters outstanding totaling $828 as of September 30, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 . When amounts under the Letters are paid by the lenders, interest accrues on the amount paid at the same interest rate applicable to borrowings under the New Credit Facility. No amounts were paid by the lenders under the Letters; therefore, we paid no interest on the Letters during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017 . Litigation and Claims Chapter 11 Proceedings. Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed many of the proceedings and actions against us noted below as well as other claims and actions that were or could have been brought prior to May 9, 2016 ("Petition Date"), and the claims remain subject to Bankruptcy Court jurisdiction. In connection with the proofs of claim asserted during bankruptcy from the proceedings or actions below which were initiated prior to the Petition Date, we are unable to estimate the amounts that will be allowed through the bankruptcy proceedings due to the complexity and number of legal and factual issues presented by the matters and uncertainties with respect to, amongst other things, the nature of the claims and defenses, the potential size of the putative classes, the scope and types of the properties and agreements involved, and the ultimate potential outcomes of the matters. As a result, no reserves were established within our liabilities in connection with the proceedings and actions described below. To the extent that any of the legal proceedings were filed prior to the Petition Date and result in a claim being allowed against us, pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Plan, such claims will be satisfied through the issuance of new stock in the Company or, if the amount is such claim is below the convenience class threshold, through cash settlement.

On June 7, 2011, an alleged class action was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma (“Naylor Trial Court”) alleging that we improperly deducted post-production costs from royalties paid to plaintiffs and other royalty interest owners as categorized in the petition from crude oil and natural gas wells located in Oklahoma. Plaintiffs indicated they seek damages in excess of $5,000 , the majority of which would be comprised of interest and may increase with the passage of time. The purported class includes non-governmental royalty interest owners in oil and natural gas wells we operate in Oklahoma. The plaintiffs have alleged a number of claims, including breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and other claims and seek termination of leases, recovery of compensatory damages, interest, punitive damages and attorney fees on behalf of the alleged class. We responded to the Naylor Farms petition, denied the allegations and raised arguments and defenses. Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in October 2015. In addition, the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment asking the court to determine as a matter of law that natural gas is not marketable until it is in the condition and location to enter an interstate pipeline. On May 20, 2016, we filed a Notice of Suggestion of Bankruptcy with the Naylor Trial Court. As of November 9, 2018 , the Tenth Circuit has not ruled. On January 17, 2017, the Naylor Trial Court certified a modified class of plaintiffs in the Naylor Trial Court with oil and gas leases containing specific language. The modified class constitutes less than 60% of the leases the plaintiffs originally sought to certify. After additional briefing on the subject, on April 18, 2017, the Naylor Trial Court issued an order certifying the class to include only claims relating back to June 1, 2006. On May 1, 2017, we filed a Petition for Permission to Appeal Class Certification Order with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals (the “Tenth Circuit”), which was granted. Oral arguments were held on March 20, 2018. In addition to filing claims on behalf of the named and putative plaintiffs, on August 15, 2016, plaintiffs’ attorneys filed a proof of claim on behalf of the putative class claiming damages in excess of $150,000 in our Chapter 11 Cases. The Company objected to treatment of the claim on a class basis, asserting the claim should be addressed on an individual basis. On April 20, 2017, plaintiffs filed an amended proof of claim reducing the claim to an amount in excess of $90,000 inclusive of actual and punitive damages, statutory interest and attorney fees. On May 24, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Company’s objection, ruling the plaintiffs may file a claim on behalf of the class. This order did not establish liability or otherwise address the merits of the plaintiffs’ claims, to which we will also object. On June 7, 2017 we appealed the Bankruptcy Court order to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, if the plaintiffs ultimately prevail on the merits of their claims, any liability arising under judgment or settlement of the plaintiff's claims would be satisfied through the issuance of stock in the Company. We continue to dispute the plaintiffs’ allegations, dispute the case meets the requirements for class certification, and are objecting to the claims both individually and on a class-wide basis. Martha Donelson and John Friend, on behalf of themselves and on behalf of all similarly situated persons v. Chaparral Energy, L.L.C. On August 11, 2014, an alleged class action was filed against us, as well as several other operators in Osage County, Oklahoma in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, alleging claims on behalf of the named plaintiffs and all similarly situated Osage County land owners and surface lessees. The plaintiffs challenged leases and drilling permits approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs without the environmental studies allegedly required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The plaintiffs assert claims seeking recovery for trespass, nuisance, negligence and unjust enrichment. Relief sought includes declaring oil and natural gas leases and drilling permits obtained in Osage County without a prior NEPA study void ab initio , removing us from all properties owned by the class members, disgorgement of profits, and compensatory and punitive damages. On March 31, 2016, the Court dismissed the case against all defendants as an improper challenge under NEPA and the Administrative Procedures Act. On April 29, 2016, the plaintiffs filed motions to alter or amend the court’s opinion and vacate the judgment, and to file an amended complaint to cure the deficiencies which the court found in the dismissed complaint. On May 20, 2016, the Company filed a Notice of Suggestion of Bankruptcy, and as a result has not responded to the plaintiffs’ motions. After plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration was denied, plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals on December 6, 2016. Oral argument regarding the appeal was held on November 14, 2017, and on April 5, 2018, the Tenth Circuit affirmed the dismissal. Plaintiffs petitioned for rehearing on May 21, 2018. The deadline to appeal the order of the Tenth Circuit passed without an appeal being filed. Lisa West and Stormy Hopson, individually and as class representatives on behalf of all similarly situated persons v. Chaparral Energy, L.L.C. On February 18, 2016, an alleged class action was filed against us, as well as several other operators in the District Court of Pottawatomie County, State of Oklahoma, alleging claims on behalf of named plaintiffs and all similarly situated persons having an insurable real property interest in eight counties in central Oklahoma (the “Class Area”). The plaintiffs allege the oil and gas operations conducted by us and the other defendants have induced earthquakes in the Class Area. The plaintiffs did not seek damages for property damage, instead asked the court to require the defendants to reimburse plaintiffs and class members for earthquake insurance premiums from 2011 through the time at which the court determines there is no longer a risk of induced earthquakes, as well as attorney fees and costs and other relief. We responded to the petition, denied the allegations and raised a number of affirmative defenses. On March 18, 2016, the case was removed to the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma under the Class Action Fairness Act. On May 20, 2016, we filed a Notice of Suggestion of Bankruptcy, informing the court that we had filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On October 14, 2016, the plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint adding additional defendants and increasing the Class Area to 25 central Oklahoma counties. Other defendants filed motions to dismiss the action, which were granted on May 12, 2017. On July 18, 2017, plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint adding additional named plaintiffs as putative class representatives and adding three additional counties to the putative class area. In the Second Amended Complaint, plaintiffs seek damages for nuisance, negligence, abnormally dangerous activities, and trespass. Due to Chaparral’s bankruptcy, plaintiffs specifically limit alleged damages related to Chaparral’s disposal activities occurring after our emergence from bankruptcy on March 21, 2017. We moved to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on September 15, 2017. On August 13, 2018, the court granted our motion to dismiss, and on August 16, 2018 issued an order striking the class allegations from the Second Amended Complaint. On August 30, 2018, plaintiffs filed a motion for a permissive appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, challenging the order dismissing the class allegations. Plaintiffs’ attorneys filed a proof of claim on behalf of the putative class claiming in excess of $75,000 in our Chapter 11 Cases. We filed an objection to class treatment of the proof of claim filed by the West plaintiffs in our bankruptcy proceeding. The Bankruptcy Court heard our objection, and on February 9, 2018 granted our objection to class treatment of the proof of claim. To the extent the appeal to the Tenth Circuit disputes the dismissal of claims against us, we will dispute the plaintiffs’ claims, dispute that the case meets the requirements for a class action, dispute the remedies requested are available under Oklahoma law, and vigorously defend the case. Lisa Griggs and April Marler, on behalf of themselves and other Oklahoma citizens similarly situated v. New Dominion, L.L.C. et al. On July 21, 2017, an alleged class action was filed against us and other operators, in the District Court of Logan County, State of Oklahoma. The named plaintiffs assert claims on behalf of themselves and Oklahoma citizens owning a home or business between March 30, 2014, and the present in a Class Area which encompasses nine counties in central Oklahoma. The plaintiffs allege disposal of saltwater produced during oil and gas operations induced earthquakes in the Class Area, and each defendant has liability under theories of ultra-hazardous activities, negligence, nuisance, and trespass. On October 24, 2017, plaintiffs filed a First Amended Class Petition in Logan County, Oklahoma, adding Creek County, Oklahoma to the Class Area, and adding an additional earthquake to the list of seismic events allegedly caused by the defendants. The plaintiffs asked the court to award unspecified damages for damage to real and personal property and loss of market value, loss of use and enjoyment of the properties, and emotional harm, as well as punitive damages and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. The case was removed to the Western District of Oklahoma on December 15, 2017, and on December 18, 2017, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed us from the suit without prejudice. Due to subsequent remand to state court, we filed notice of the dismissal in the state court action on January 31, 2018. James Butler et al. v. Berexco, L.L.C., Chaparral Energy, L.L.C, et al . On October 13, 2017, a group of fifty-two individual plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Payne County, State of Oklahoma against twenty-six named defendants, including us, and twenty-five unnamed defendants. Plaintiffs are all property owners and residents of Payne County, Oklahoma, and allege salt water disposal activities by the defendants, owners or operators of salt water disposal wells, induced earthquakes which have caused damage to real and personal property, and emotional damages. Plaintiffs claim absolute liability for ultra-hazardous activities, negligence, gross negligence, public and private nuisance, trespass, and ask for compensatory and punitive damages. On December 18, 2017, we moved the court to dismiss the claims against us. Prior to plaintiffs responding to our motion, a hearing on a motion to stay the Butler case was held on January 4, 2018. The judge granted the motion to stay proceedings, ruling the Butler case was stayed pending final judgment or denial of class certification in the Lisa West et al. v. ABC Oil Company, Inc. case, supra . Despite the dismissal of the class allegations in the West case, the stay has not been lifted. Our motion to dismiss will not be considered until the stay is lifted, at which time, if necessary, we will dispute plaintiffs’ claims, dispute that the remedies requested are available under Oklahoma law, and vigorously defend the case. Lacheverjuan Bennett et al. v. Chaparral Energy, L.L.C., et al . On March 26, 2018, a group of twenty-seven individual plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Logan County, State of Oklahoma against twenty-three named defendants, including us, and twenty-five unnamed defendants. Plaintiffs are all property owners and residents of Logan County, Oklahoma, and allege the defendants, all oil and gas companies which have engaged in injection well operations, induced earthquakes which have caused damage to real and personal property, and caused emotional damages. Plaintiffs claim absolute liability for ultra-hazardous activities, negligence, gross negligence, public and private nuisance, and trespass, and ask for compensatory and punitive damages, and attorney fees and costs. Jointly with other defendants, we filed a motion to stay the proceedings pending resolution of Lisa West et al. v. ABC Oil Company, Inc . Despite dismissal of the class allegations in the West case, the stay has not been lifted. When the stay is lifted, we will dispute the plaintiffs’ claims, dispute the remedies requested are available under Oklahoma law, and vigorously defend the case. Hallco Petroleum, Inc. v. Chaparral Energy, L.L.C. On November 7, 2017, Hallco Production, LLC (“Hallco”) filed a lawsuit against us in the District Court of Kay County, State of Oklahoma. Plaintiffs alleged carbon dioxide which was injected for enhanced oil recovery in wells operated by us migrated to wells operated by Hallco, damaging its salt water disposal well and therefore preventing operation of all wells in the unit. Plaintiffs allege the migration of carbon dioxide constituted trespass, and further allege negligence and nuisance, and see damages in excess of $75 . Because we sold the EOR wells on November 17, 2017, Hallco filed an amended petition on March 6, 2018 to add the purchaser as a defendant in the lawsuit, alleging the damage is ongoing. We dispute the plaintiff’s claims, dispute the remedies requested are available under Oklahoma law, and are vigorously defending the case. We are involved in various other legal proceedings including, but not limited to, commercial disputes, claims from royalty and surface owners, property damage claims, quiet title actions, personal injury claims, employment claims, and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. These proceedings may include allegations of damages from induced earthquakes, which we will vigorously defend as necessary. In addition, other proofs of claim have been filed in our bankruptcy case which we anticipate repudiating. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect any of them individually to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We have numerous contractual commitments in the ordinary course of business including debt service requirements, operating leases, capital leases and purchase obligations. Our operating leases primarily relate to CO 2 compressors and office equipment while our capital leases are related to the sale and subsequent leaseback of CO 2 compressors. In conjunction with the sale of our EOR assets in November 2017, all CO 2 compressors were subleased to the buyer of those assets although we remain the primary obligor in relation to U.S. Bank. The subleases are structured such that the lease payments and remaining lease terms are identical to the original leases. Our purchase obligations as of September 30, 2018 , include contracts for four drilling rigs of which two contracts were signed in September 2018 for durations through the end of 2019. Our commitment as of September 30, 2018, on the two long term drilling rig contracts was $16,524 . Other than the changes described herein, the issuance of Senior Notes and repayment of the New Credit Facility described in “Note 4—Debt and capital leases,” there were no material changes to our contractual commitments since December 31, 2017 . |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Divestitures | Note 11: Divestitures For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we received total cash proceeds of $36,335 on various non-core oil and gas assets, property and equipment disposals. Included in these disposals were: • A divestiture of certain properties in the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandle for gross cash proceeds before selling costs of $17,000 and the conveyance of $629 in liabilities to the buyer, all of which are subject to customary post-close adjustments. The purchaser of these assets is a company affiliated with Mark A. Fischer, our former Chief Executive Officer and former Chairman of the Board. • A divestiture of certain saltwater disposal infrastructure where we received proceeds of $8,299 in September 2018 with an additional $1,205 received in the fourth quarter of 2018. • Disposals of various other non-core assets resulting in proceeds of approximately $11,279 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , followed by additional disposals for proceeds of $5,989 in October 2018. As the properties above did not represent a material portion of our oil and natural gas reserves, individually or in the aggregate, no gain or loss was recognized on these disposals and instead, we reduced our full cost pool by the amount of the net proceeds without significant alteration to our depletion rate. We have recently entered into service agreements with two providers to dispose, via pipeline or truck, salt water produced by our wells within areas that encompass Kingfisher, Garfield and Canadian Counties, Oklahoma. The agreements covering Kingfisher and Garfield Counties, Oklahoma are for 15 years and specify fixed rates per barrel according to age of the well. The agreement covering Canadian County, Oklahoma is for 5 years and specifies per barrel rates that vary according to volume of water disposed. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Nature of operations | Nature of operations Chaparral Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”) are involved in the acquisition, exploration, development, production and operation of oil and natural gas properties. Our properties are located primarily in Oklahoma and our commodity products include crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. |
Interim financial statements | Interim financial statements The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and do not include all of the financial information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The financial information as of September 30, 2018 (Successor), for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 (Successor), the periods of March 22, 2017, through September 30, 2017 (Successor), and the three months ended September 30, 2017 (Successor), is unaudited. The financial information as of December 31, 2017 (Successor), and the period of January 1, 2017, through March 21, 2017 (Predecessor), have been derived from the audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . In management’s opinion, such information contains all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 (Successor) are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to current period presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported results of operations. |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents We maintain cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts and money market funds which may not be federally insured. As of September 30, 2018 , cash with a recorded balance totaling approximately $46,640 was held at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts. |
Accounts receivable | Accounts receivable We have receivables from joint interest owners and oil and natural gas purchasers which are generally uncollateralized. Accounts receivable consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, Joint interests $ 28,867 $ 29,032 Accrued commodity sales 34,381 26,516 Derivative settlements — 157 Other 3,338 5,326 Allowance for doubtful accounts (806 ) (668 ) $ 65,780 $ 60,363 |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, Equipment inventory $ 5,282 $ 4,163 Commodities 671 1,154 Inventory valuation allowance (179 ) (179 ) $ 5,774 $ 5,138 |
Oil and natural gas properties | Oil and natural gas properties Costs associated with unevaluated oil and natural gas properties are excluded from the amortizable base until a determination has been made as to the existence of proved reserves. Unevaluated leasehold costs are transferred to the amortization base with the costs of drilling the related well upon proving up reserves of a successful well or upon determination of a dry or uneconomic well under a process that is conducted each quarter. Furthermore, unevaluated oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment if events and circumstances exist that indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying amount of such property. The impairment assessment is conducted at least once annually and whenever there are indicators that impairment has occurred. In assessing whether impairment has occurred, we consider factors such as intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; assignment of proved reserves; and economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. Upon determination of impairment, all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and become subject to amortization. The processes above are applied to unevaluated oil and natural gas properties on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. Our future depreciation, depletion and amortization rate would increase if costs are transferred to the amortization base without any associated reserves. In the past, the costs associated with unevaluated properties typically related to acquisition costs of unproved acreage. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting on the Effective Date, a substantial portion of the carrying value of our unevaluated properties are the result of a fair value increase to reflect the value of our acreage in our STACK play. The costs of unevaluated oil and natural gas properties consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, Leasehold acreage $ 532,531 $ 466,711 Capitalized interest 9,289 2,134 Wells and facilities in progress of completion 16,261 13,394 Total unevaluated oil and natural gas properties excluded from amortization $ 558,081 $ 482,239 Ceiling Test. In accordance with the full cost method of accounting, the net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties are not to exceed their related PV-10 value, net of tax considerations, plus the cost of unproved properties not being amortized. Our estimates of oil and natural gas reserves as of September 30, 2018 , and the related PV-10 value, were prepared using an average price for oil and natural gas on the first day of each month for the prior twelve months as required by the SEC. Producer imbalances. We account for natural gas production imbalances using the sales method, whereby we recognize revenue on all natural gas sold to our customers regardless of our proportionate working interest in a well. Liabilities are recorded for imbalances greater than our proportionate share of remaining estimated natural gas reserves. Our aggregate imbalance positions at September 30, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 , were immaterial. |
Income taxes | Income taxes In December 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”), making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a federal corporate tax rate of 21% , additional limitations on executive compensation, and limitations on the deductibility of interest. The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): "Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 118" to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act. Upon final determination of tax return amounts for the year ended December 31, 2017, we completed the accounting with regard to Section 162(m) provisions under the Act and recorded an immaterial discrete income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, fully offset by a corresponding increase in valuation allowance. Despite the Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we did not record any net deferred tax benefit, as any deferred tax asset arising from the benefit is reduced by a valuation allowance as utilization of the loss carryforwards and realization of other deferred tax assets cannot be reasonably assured. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, we use estimates and judgment regarding our future taxable income, as well as the jurisdiction in which such taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence can include our current financial position, our results of operations, both actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies as well as the current and forecasted business economics of our industry. We will continue to evaluate whether the valuation allowance is needed in future reporting periods. The valuation allowance will remain until we can determine that the net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Future events or new evidence which may lead us to conclude that it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets will be realized include, but are not limited to, cumulative historical pre-tax earnings, improvements in oil prices, and taxable events that could result from one or more transactions. The valuation allowance does not prevent future utilization of the tax attributes if we recognize taxable income. As long as we conclude that the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets is necessary, we likely will not have any additional deferred income tax expense or benefit. The benefit of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return is recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions would be recorded in interest expense and other expense, respectively. There were no uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2018 , or December 31, 2017 . Elements of the Reorganization Plan provided that our indebtedness related to Prior Senior Notes and certain general unsecured claims were exchanged for Successor common stock in settlement of those claims. Absent an exception, a debtor recognizes cancellation of indebtedness income (“CODI”) upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is less than its adjusted issue price. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), provides that a debtor in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case may exclude CODI from taxable income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of any CODI realized as a result of the consummation of a plan of reorganization. The amount of CODI realized by a taxpayer is determined based on the fair market value of the consideration received by the creditors in settlement of outstanding indebtedness. As a result of the market value of equity upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the amount of CODI was $60,398 , which reduced the value of the Company’s net operating losses. IRC Section 382 addresses company ownership changes and specifically limits the utilization of certain deductions and other tax attributes on an annual basis following an ownership change. As a result of the Chapter 11 reorganization and related transactions, the Company experienced an ownership change within the meaning of IRC Section 382 on March 21, 2017. The Company analyzed alternatives available within the IRC to taxpayers in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in order to minimize the impact of the March 21, 2017 ownership change on its tax attributes. Upon filing the 2017 U.S. Federal income tax return, the Company elected an available alternative which resulted in a limitation that subjects existing tax attributes at emergence to an IRC Section 382 limitation that could result in some or all of the remaining net operating loss carryforwards expiring unused. Upon final determination of tax return amounts for the year ended December 31, 2017, including attribute reduction that occurred on January 1, 2018, the Company has total federal net operating loss carryforwards of $1,011,368 including $760,067 which are subject to limitation due to the ownership change that occurred upon emergence from bankruptcy and $251,301 of post-change net operating loss carryforwards not subject to this limitation. The Company estimates that it will incur an additional $85,863 of post-change net operating loss carryforward not subject to the limitation for the tax year ended December 31, 2018. The limitation did not result in a current tax liability for the tax year ended December 31, 2017 and is not expected to result in a tax liability for the tax year ended December 31, 2018. |
Restructuring | Restructuring . We previously incurred exit costs in conjunction with our EOR asset divestiture, which are predominantly comprised of one-time severance and termination benefits for the affected employees. The expense recorded in 2018 is a result of termination benefits for the final slate of employees terminated as a result of the divestiture. |
Other | Subleases . Our subleases are comprised of CO 2 compressors that were previously utilized in our EOR operations and leased as capital and operating leases from U.S. Bank but are now subleased to the purchaser of our EOR assets (the “Sublessee”). Minimum payments under the subleases are equal to the original leases. Subsequent to the execution of the subleases, all payments received from the Sublessee are reflected as revenues on our statement of operations. Payments we make to U.S. Bank on the original operating leases, which are disclosed in the table above, are reflected in “Other” on our statement of operations while payments on the original capital leases are a reduction of debt and recognition of interest expense. With respect to the capital leases, we have reclassified the amount associated with these leases from the full cost amortization base to plant, property and equipment on our balance sheet and are amortizing the asset on a straight line basis prospectively. Please see “Note 1— Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies”,” Note 8— Debt”, and “Note 16— Commitments and contingencies” in Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary Data of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which contains additional information about our leases. |
Cost reduction initiatives | Cost reduction initiatives Cost reduction initiatives include expenses related to our efforts to reduce our capital, operating and administrative costs in response to industry conditions. The expense consists of costs for one-time severance and termination benefits in connection with our reductions in force and third party legal and professional services we have engaged to assist in our cost savings initiatives as follows: Successor Predecessor Three months ended September 30, 2018 Three months ended September 30, 2017 Nine months ended September 30, 2018 Period from March 22, 2017 through September 30, 2017 Period from One-time severance and termination benefits $ 210 $ 30 $ 1,034 $ 142 $ 608 Professional fees — 4 — 13 21 Total cost reduction initiatives expense $ 210 $ 34 $ 1,034 $ 155 $ 629 |
Reorganization items | Reorganization items Reorganization items reflect, where applicable, expenses, gains and losses incurred that are incremental and a direct result of the reorganization of the business. As a result of our emergence from bankruptcy, we have also recorded gains on the settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and gains from restating our balance sheet to fair values under fresh start accounting. “Professional fees” in the table below for periods subsequent to the Effective Date are comprised of legal fees for continuing work to resolve outstanding bankruptcy claims and fees to the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee, which we will continue to incur until our bankruptcy case is closed. Reorganization items are as follows: Successor Predecessor Three months ended September 30, 2018 Three months ended September 30, 2017 Nine months ended September 30, 2018 Period from March 22, 2017 through September 30, 2017 Period from Loss (gain) on the settlement of liabilities subject to compromise $ — $ — $ 48 $ — $ (372,093 ) Fresh start accounting adjustments — — — — (641,684 ) Professional fees 493 858 1,962 2,548 18,790 Rejection of employment contracts — — — — 4,573 Write off unamortized issuance costs on Prior Credit Facility — — — — 1,687 Total reorganization items $ 493 $ 858 $ 2,010 $ 2,548 $ (988,727 ) |
Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements | Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that supersedes previous revenue recognition requirements and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Please see “Note 5—Revenue recognition” for our disclosure regarding adoption of this update. In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities constitutes a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described under updated revenue recognition guidance. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2018, without a material impact to our financial statements. We expect that the new guidance, when applied to the facts and circumstances of a future transaction, may impact the likelihood whether a future transaction would be accounted for as a business combination. In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends existing requirements on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The standard principally affects accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2018, with no material impact to our financial statements or results of operations. In August 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which provides clarification on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified on the statement of cash flows. This update provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies including bank-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and is required to be adopted using a retrospective approach if practicable. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2018, without a material impact on our financial statements or results of operations. In November 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2018, with no material impact to our financial statements or results of operations. Recently issued accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance significantly amending the current accounting for leases. Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less. Furthermore, all leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) a financing lease or (ii) an operating lease. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged with the exception that no leases entered into after the effective date will be classified as leveraged leases. For sale leaseback transactions, a sale will only be recognized if the criteria in the new revenue recognition standard are met. For public business entities, this guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods thereafter, and currently should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. Our planned adoption of the new standard will utilize the transition option that allows us to apply legacy guidance, including disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. This transition option was one of several practical expedients introduced in a July 2018 guidance update. Our current operating leases are predominantly comprised of a limited number of leases for CO 2 compressors. However, we also enter into contractual arrangements relating to rights of ways or surface use that are typical of upstream oil and gas operations. We are currently assessing whether such arrangements are included in the new guidance, especially in light of a guidance update issued in January 2018 which provides a practical expedient on land easements. The land easement practical expedient allows an entity to continue its legacy accounting policy for land easements that exist or expire before the new standard’s effective date and which are not accounted for under the current lease standard. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and as contracts are reviewed under the new standard, this analysis could result in an impact to our financial statements; however, that impact is currently not known. In June 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, however early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The updated guidance impacts our financial statements primarily due to its effect on our accounts receivables. Our history of accounts receivable credit losses almost entirely relates to receivables from joint interest owners in our operated oil and natural gas wells. Based on this history and on mitigating actions we are permitted to take to offset potential losses such as netting past due amounts against revenue and assuming title to the working interest, we do not expect this guidance to materially impact our financial statements or results of operations. |

All such warrants expired on June 30, 2018. The warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock were antidilutive due to the exercise price exceeding the average price of our Class A shares for the periods presented and due to the net losses we incurred. (2) Our unvested restricted stock awards are considered to be participating securities as they include non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event a dividend is paid on our common stock. Our participating securities do not participate in undistributed net losses because they are not contractually obligated to do so and hence are not included in the computation of EPS in periods when a net loss occurs.

[2] | Our unvested restricted stock awards are considered to be participating securities as they include non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event a dividend is paid on our common stock.
