Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial reporting. All adjustments which are normal and recurring by nature, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement of Samson Oil & Gas Limited’s (the Company) Consolidated Financial Statements have been included herein. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of expected annual results because of the impact of fluctuations in prices received for oil and natural gas, as well as other factors. In the course of preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and in the disclosures of commitments and contingencies. Changes in these assumptions, judgments and estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events, and, accordingly, actual results could differ from amounts previously established. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting principles and policies reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 201 6 . The year-end Consolidated Balance Sheet presented herein was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report (“Form 10-K”).  Accruals. A ccrued liabilities at June 30, 201 6 consist primarily of estimate s for goods and services received but not yet invoiced. Accrued liabilities at September 30, 2016 primarily consisted of the deposit received from Angelus Energy with respect to the pending acquisition of our North Stockyard properties. This transaction closed on October 28, 2016. The effective date of the transaction was October 29, 2016. The accounting for this divestment will be recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.  Prepayments. Prepayments at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 include insurance premiums and other subscription costs paid in advance for the year.  Comparatives. Changes have been made to the classification of certain prior period comparatives in order to remain consistent with the current period presentation. These changes have had no material impact on the financial statements.  Recent Accounting Standards  In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements –Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). The objective of ASU 2014-15 is to provide guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016 and annual and interim periods thereafter. This standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s co nsolidated financial statements and we are currently assessing the expected impact on footnote disclosures.  

Income Taxes

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	2. Income Taxes       The Company has cumulative net operating losses (“NOLs”) that may be carried forward to reduce taxable income in future years. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that limit the utilization of NOLs if there has been a change in ownership as described in Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company’s prior year NOLs are limited by IRC Section 382.  ASC Topic 740 requires that a valuation allowance be provided if it is more likely than not that some portion or all deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s ability to realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets will depend on the generation of future taxable income through profitable operations. Due to the Company’s history of losses and the uncertainty of future profitable operations, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	3. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to ordinary shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Under the treasury stock method, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding including all potentially dilutive ordinary shares (which in Samson’s case consists of unexercised stock options). In the event of a net loss, however no potential ordinary shares are included in the calculation of shares outstanding since the impact would be anti-dilutive. The following table details the weighted average dilutive and anti-dilutive securities outstanding, which consist of transferable options to purchase ordinary shares which are tradeable on the ASX (“options”), for the periods presented:     Three months ended  30-Sep-16 30-Sep-15  Dilutive - -  Anti–dilutive 320,615,486 324,626,401  The following tables set forth the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share:       Three months ended  30-Sep-16 30-Sep-15  Net income (loss) $ (535,442) (2,094,159)   Basic weighted average ordinary shares outstanding 3,215,854,701 2,837,823,386  Basic earnings per ordinary share – cents per share (0.02) (0.07)  Diluted earnings per ordinary share – cents per share (0.02) (0.07)  

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset Retirement Obligations [Abstract]
Asset Retirement Obligations	4. Asset Retirement Obligations The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily represent the estimated present value of the amounts expected to be incurred to plug, abandon and remediate producing and shut–in properties at the end of their productive lives in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. The Company determines the estimated fair value of its asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to those obligations. The significant inputs used to calculate such liabilities include estimates of costs to be incurred, the Company’s credit adjusted discount rates, inflation rates and estimated dates of abandonment. The asset retirement liability is accreted to its present value each period and the capitalized asset retirement cost is depleted using the units–of–production method.  The amount recorded as a current liability in the current period, relates to work expected to be performed in our Hawk Springs project in Wyoming prior to December 31, 2016.  The following table summarizes the activities for the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:    Three months ended  30-Sep-16 30-Sep-15  Asset retirement obligations at beginning of period $ 3,750,245 $ 1,810,674  Liabilities incurred or acquired - -  Liabilities settled (13,976) (46,130)  Disposition of properties - -  Accretion expense 79,187 14,888  Asset retirement obligations at end of period 3,815,456 1,779,432  Less: current asset retirement obligations (classified with accounts payable and accrued liabilities) (300,000) -  Long-term asset retirement obligations $ 3,515,456 $ 1,779,432 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	5. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The FASB has established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:   Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.    Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date and for substantially the full term of the instrument. Inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.    Level 3—Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally unobservable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of September 30, 201 6 and June 30, 201 6 .     Carrying value at September 30, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Netting (1) Fair Value at September 30, 2016  Current Assets:  Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,582,924 $ 1,582,924 $ - $ - $ - $ 1,582,924  Derivative Instruments - - 127,936 - (127,936) -   Non Current Assets  Derivative Instruments - - 143,102 (143,102) -   Current Liabilities  Derivative instruments 1,410,421 - 1,538,357 - (127,936) 1,410,421   Non Current Liabilities  Derivative Instruments 782,431 - 925,533 (143,102) 782,431   Carrying value at June 30, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Netting (1) Fair Value at June 30, 2016  Current Assets:  Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,654,812 $ 2,654,812 $ - $ - $ - $ 2,654,812  Derivative Instruments - - 136,727 - (136,727) -   Non Current Assets  Derivative Instruments - - 220,317 - (220,317) -   Current Liabilities  Derivative instruments 1,671,653 - 1,808,380 - (136,727) 1,671,653   Non Current Liabilities  Derivative Instruments 1,233,076 - 1,453,393 - (220,317) 1,233,076  (1) Netting In accordance with the Company’s standard practice, its commodity derivatives are subject to counterparty netting under agreements governing such derivatives and therefore the risk of loss is somewhat mitigated.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the assets and liabilities in the table above:  Level 1 Fair value Measurements Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and payable and derivatives (discussed below). The carrying values of cash equivalents and accounts receivable and payable are representative of their fair values due to their short–term maturities.  Level 2 Fair Measurements Derivative Contracts. The Company’s derivative contracts consist of oil collars and oil call options. The fair value of these contracts are based on inputs that are either readily available in the public market, such as oil future prices or inputs that can be corroborated from active markets. Fair value is determined through the use of a discounted cash model using applicable inputs discussed above.  Other fair value measurements Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis. The Company also applies fair value accounting guidance to measure non–financial assets and liabilities such as business acquisitions, proved oil and gas properties, and asset retirement obligations. These assets and liabilities are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances and are not subject to recurring revaluations. These items are primarily valued using the present value of estimated future cash inflows and/or outflows. Given the unobservable nature of these inputs, they are deemed to be Level 3.  Some oil and gas properties are stated at fair value as at June 30 , 201 6 . As a result of the significant decline in oil prices experienced in recent months, the carrying value of oil and gas properties was reviewed and subject to impairment costs of $ 11 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016, the majority of which relat ed to our North Stockyard field due to the sustained decrease in the oil price .  Following the sale of our North Stockyard property in October 2016, we closed out 42,300 barrels of oil hedges and 220,750 mcf of natural gas hedges at a cost of $169,182 to us, including $165,003 in deferred premiums.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	6. Commitments and Contingencies  The Company has no accrued environmental liabilities for its sites, including sites in which governmental agencies have designated the Company as a potentially responsible party , because it is not probable that a loss will be incurred and the minimum cost and/or amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. However, due to uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future expense to remediate the currently identified sites, and sites identified in the future , if any, could be incurred. Management believes, based upon current site assessments, that the ultimate resolution of any such matters will not materially affect our results of operations or cash flows.  From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings through the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome is not known, management believes that any resolution will not materially impact the financial statements.

This sale closed on October 28, 2016 and the pay down of the facility occurred October 31, 2016.  In January 2014, we entered into a $ 25.0 million credit facility with our primary lender, Mutual of Omaha Bank, with an initial borrowing base of $8.0 million, which was increased to $ 15.5 million in June 2014. In March 2016, the facility was extended to $30.5 million to partly fund the Foreman Butte acquisition. As a result of this amendment to the facility agreement, the following changes were made to the original facility agreement: · The addition of more restrictive financial covenants (including the debt to EBITDA ratio and the minimum liquidity requirement); · Increases in the interest rate and unused facility fee; · The addition of a minimum hedging requirement of 75% of forecasted production; · A requirement to reduce our general and administrative costs from $6 million per year to $3 million per year; · A requirement to raise $5 million in equity on or before September 30, 2016 (this was extended to November 15, 2016 and then effective November 10, 2016 Mutual of Omaha agreed that this requirement had been met following the $1.4 million capital raise completed in April 2016 and by the application of retained funds from the North Stockyard sale); · A requirement to pay down at least $10 million of the loan by June 30, 2016 (which was increased to $11.5 million and extended to October 31, 2016 in line with the closing of the North Stockyard sale) and we repaid $11.5 million on October 31, 2016; and · The addition of a monthly cash flow sweep whereby 50% of cash operating income will be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. No repayments have been made under this covenant.  Effective November 10, 2016 Mutual of Omaha increased our borrowing base to $20 million, of which $19 million is drawn. We have entered into further negotiations with Mutual of Omaha and expect a new borrowing base will be determined in early 2017 based on a November 30, 2016 reserve report. While we can make no assurances we believe it is likely that this facility will be syndicated with another bank.  The borrowing base under our credit facility may be increased, (up to the credit facility maximum of $50.0 million) or decreased depending on the value of our reserves. Borrowing base redeterminations are performed by the lender every six months based on our June and December reserve reports . While we can make no assurances, w e expect the November 2016 redetermination mentioned above will be a wildcard determination, which the facility agreement allows once a year. We also have the ability to request a borrowing base redetermination at another period, once a year. The facility matures October 31, 2017 . The interest rate is LIBOR plus 6.00% or approximately 6.30% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. This decreased to 3.5% plus LIBOR following the pay down of the facility in October 2016.  The credit facility includes the following covenants, tested on a quarterly basis: · Current ratio greater than 1 · Debt to EBITDAX (annualized) ratio no greater than 5.75 for the quarter ended March 30, 2016 through to September 30, 2016 reducing to 4.00 by September 30, 2017 · Senior leverage ratio of no greater than 4.25 to 1 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 reducing to 3.75 for the quarter ending December 31, 2016 and thereafter · Interest coverage ratio minimum of between 2.5 and 1.0  We were in compliance with all of our covenants as at June 30, 2016.  As at September 30, 2016 we were in breach of our spending cap with respect to the general and administrative expenses. We have received a waiver with respect to this covenant.  We were in compliance with all other covenants as at September 30, 2016.  If the current pricing environment does not improve it will difficult to maintain compliance with covenants based our current debt levels. If we are not in compliance with the financial covenants in the credit facility, or if we do not receive a waiver from the lender, and if we fail to cure any such noncompliance during the applicable cure period, the due date of our debt could be accelerated by the lender. In addition, failure to comply with any of the covenants under our credit facility could adversely affect our ability to fund ongoing operations.  We incurred $0. 6 million in borrowing costs (including legal fees and bank fees) in connection with the establishment of this facility which have been deferred and are being amortized over the life of the facility.

Derivatives [Abstract]
Derivatives	11. Derivatives  The Company has not designated any of its derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company records all derivative contracts at fair value. Changes in derivative contracts are recognized in earnings. Changes in settlements and valuation gains and losses are included in loss/(gain) on derivative instruments in the Statement of Operations. These contracts are settled on a monthly basis. Derivative assets and liabilities arising from the Company’s derivative contracts with the same counterparty that provide for net settlement are reported on a net basis in the Balance Sheet.  The Company is exposed to commodity price risk, which impacts the predictability of its cash flows from the sale of oil. The Company seeks to manage this risk through the use of commodity derivative contracts These derivative contracts allow the Company to limit its exposure to commodity price volatility on a portion of its forecasted oil sales. At September 30, 2016, the Company’s commodity derivative contracts consisted of collars and fixed price swaps, which are described below:  Collar Collars contain a fixed floor price (put) and fixed ceiling price (call). If the market price exceeds the call strike price or falls below the put strike price, the Company receives the fixed price and pays the market price. If the market price is between the call and the put strike price, no payments are due from the either party.  Fixed price swap The Company receives a fixed price for the contract and pays a floating market price to the counterparty over a specified period for a contracted volume.  All of the Company’s derivative contracts are with the same counterparty (a large multinational oil company) and are shown on a net basis on the Balance Sheet. The Company’s counterparty has entered into an inter-creditor agreement with the Company’s primary lender, and as such, no additional collateral is required by the counterparty.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2016 we recognized $443,356 in gain on derivative instruments in the Statement of Operations.  Following the closing of the North Stockyard project, we closed out we closed out a portion of our previous hedge positions in line with the reduced production forecast.  Following the sale of our North Stockyard property in October 2016, we closed out 42,300 barrels of oil hedges and 220,750 mcf of natural gas hedges at a cost of $169,182 to us, including $165,003 in deferred premiums .  At September 30, 2016 the Company’s open derivative contracts consisted of the following:     Collars  Deferred  Product Start Date End Date Volume (BO/Mmbtu) Floor Ceiling Premium  WTI 1-Oct-16 30-Apr-18 110,667 41.50 63.00 (383,070)  Henry Hub 1-Oct-16 31-Oct-16 32,364 1.90 2.40 -  Henry Hub 1-Nov-16 31-Mar-17 134,088 2.60 3.35 (17,431)  Henry Hub 1-Apr-17 31-Oct-17 167,682 2.40 2.91 -  Henry Hub 1-Nov-17 30-Apr-18 127,030 2.80 3.60 (24,135)  (424,636)   Costless Swaps  Product Start End Volume (BO) Swap  WTI 1-Oct-16 31-Dec-16 42,780 41.20  WTI 1-Jan-17 31-Dec-17 141,255 44.09  WTI 1-Jan-18 30-Apr-18 39,720 45.55
