Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
COMPANY BACKGROUND | COMPANY BACKGROUND We are a diversified mineral company that delivers potassium, magnesium, sulfur, salt, and water products essential for customer success in agriculture, animal feed, and the oil and gas industry. We are the only U.S. producer of muriate of potash (sometimes referred to as potassium chloride or potash), which is applied as an essential nutrient for healthy crop development, utilized in several industrial applications, and used as an ingredient in animal feed. In addition, we produce a specialty fertilizer, Trio ® , which delivers three key nutrients, potassium, magnesium, and sulfate, in a single particle. We also provide water, salt, magnesium chloride, brine, and various oilfield products and services. Our extraction and production operations are conducted entirely in the continental U.S. We produce potash from three solution mining facilities: our HB solution mine in Carlsbad, New Mexico, our solution mine in Moab, Utah, and our brine recovery mine in Wendover, Utah. We also operate the North compaction facility in Carlsbad, New Mexico, which compacts and granulates product from the HB mine. We produce Trio ® from our conventional underground East mine in Carlsbad, New Mexico. We have permitted, licensed, declared, and partially adjudicated water rights in New Mexico that support our mining and industrial operations. Water that is not used to support our mining and industrial operations is primarily sold to support oil and gas development in the Permian Basin in New Mexico near our Carlsbad facilities. We continue to work to expand our water business. See Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies below for further information regarding our water rights. We also operate certain land, water rights, grazing leases, and other related assets in southeast New Mexico. We refer to these assets and operations as "Intrepid South." Due to the strategic location of Intrepid South, part of our long-term operating strategy is selling small parcels of land, including restricted use agreements of surface or subsurface rights, to customers where such sales provide a solution to such customer's operations in the oil and gas industry. We have three segments: potash, Trio ® , and oilfield solutions. We account for sales of byproducts as revenue in the potash or Trio ® segment based on which segment generates the byproduct. Intersegment sales prices are market based and are eliminated. "Intrepid," "our," "we," or "us" means Intrepid Potash, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Financial Statement Presentation —Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted —In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expenses and taxes paid. ASC 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the guidance and expect it to only impact disclosures with no impact to results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"). This new guidance: (i) introduces a requirement to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), (ii) extends certain annual disclosures to interim periods, (iii) clarifies disclosure requirements for single reportable segment entities, (iv) permits more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and (v) requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance applies retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the guidance and expect it to only impact disclosures with no impact to results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Jun. 30, 2024 | |
Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
EARNINGS PER SHARE | EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, basic weighted-average common shares outstanding is adjusted to include potentially dilutive securities, including restricted stock, stock options, and performance units. The treasury-stock method is used to measure the dilutive impact of potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. The following table shows the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net (loss) income $ (833) $ 4,305 $ (3,963) $ 8,811 Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 12,886 12,766 12,852 12,730 Add: Dilutive effect of restricted stock — 53 — 89 Add: Dilutive effect of stock options — 36 — 46 Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 12,886 12,855 12,852 12,865 Basic $ (0.06) $ 0.34 $ (0.31) $ 0.69 Diluted $ (0.06) $ 0.33 $ (0.31) $ 0.68 The following table shows the shares that have an anti-dilutive effect and are excluded from the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding computations (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2024 2023 2024 2023 Anti-dilutive effect of restricted stock 391 302 368 245 Anti-dilutive effect of stock options outstanding 273 207 273 182 |

The fair value of the Trio ® segment assets was primarily determined using the expected proceeds received in an orderly sale of the individual assets. For any Trio ® segment capital spending during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we also estimated the fair value of those assets using the expected proceeds received in an orderly sale of those new assets. As a result, we recorded an additional impairment of $2.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. We incurred the following expenses for depreciation, depletion, and amortization, including expenses capitalized into inventory, for the following periods (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Depreciation $ 7,594 $ 8,327 $ 15,059 $ 16,054 Depletion 661 170 2,133 1,347 Amortization of right of use assets 339 394 706 782 Total incurred $ 8,594 $ 8,891 $ 17,898 $ 18,183 |

The Amendment further amends that certain Cooperative Development Agreement, by and between us, BOPCO, L.P. and the other parties thereto, effective as of February 28, 2011 (as amended, including by the Amendment, the "CDA"), which was executed for the purpose of pursuing the cooperative development of potassium and oil and gas on certain lands. The CDA restricts and limits the rights of Intrepid and XTO, as successors in interest to BOPCO, L.P., to explore and develop their respective interests, including limitations on the locations of wells. Intrepid and XTO entered into the Amendment in an effort to further the cooperation, remove the restrictions and limitations, and allow for the efficient co-development of resources within the Designated Potash Area ("DPA") consistent with the United States Secretary of the Interior Order 3324. Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, we agreed to provide support to XTO's for development and operation of XTO's oil and gas interests within the DPA. As consideration under the Amendment, XTO agreed to pay us an initial fee of $50.0 million (the "Initial Fee"). We received a partial payment of $5.0 million of the Initial Fee in December 2023, and we received payment of the remaining $45.0 million from XTO in January 2024. The Amendment further provides that we shall receive an additional one-time payment equal to $50.0 million (the "Access Fee")," which XTO will pay within 90 days upon the earlier occurrence of (i) the approval of the first new or expanded drilling island within a specific area to be used by XTO or (ii) within seven Because the cooperative development support we are providing under the CDA is not an output of our ordinary business activities, ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") does not apply to the CDA. However, we apply the principles in ASC 606 by analogy to determine amounts of other income to recognize. Under ASC 606, we are required to identify the performance obligations in the CDA and to determine the transaction price. The transaction price may include fixed consideration, variable consideration, or both. Variable consideration may only be included in the transaction price if it is probable that a significant reversal of amounts recognized will not occur (referred to as the variable consideration constraint). The Access Realization Fee is considered variable consideration. Our performance obligation under the Amendment is to "stand-ready" to provide support to XTO, when and as needed, during the term of the Amendment. We estimate the transaction price to be $100.0 million, which is comprised of the $50.0 million Initial Fee and the $50.0 million Access Fee. We are not including any amounts of the Access Realization Fee in the transaction price because of the variable consideration constraint. Since our performance obligation is a "stand-ready" obligation, we are recognizing the transaction price on a straight-line basis over the term of the Amendment which ends on February 28, 2046. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded other operating income of $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, from the Amendment. Because we have not yet been paid the Access Fee included in the transaction price, we recorded a long-term receivable for the amount of the Access Fee that we earned during the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $1.1 million, which is included in "Other Assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the amount of the Initial Fee we earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we reduced the "Deferred other income, long-term" liability recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024, we had $2.3 million recorded in "Other current liabilities," and $46.6 million recorded in "Deferred other income, long-term" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the unearned portion of the Initial Fee. As of December 31, 2023, we had $5.0 million recorded in "Other current liabilities," and zero recorded in "Deferred other income, long-term" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. |

Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Abstract] | |
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION | ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION We recognize an estimated liability for future costs associated with the abandonment and reclamation of our mining properties. A liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation and a corresponding increase to the carrying value of the related long-lived asset are recorded as the mining operations occur or the assets are acquired. Our asset retirement obligation is based on the estimated cost to close and reclaim the mining operations, the economic life of the properties, and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is discounted using credit adjusted risk-free rate estimates at the time the liability is incurred or when there are upward revisions to estimated costs. The credit adjusted risk-free rates used to discount our reclamation liabilities range from 6.9% to 12.0%. Revisions to the liability occur due to construction of new or expanded facilities, changes in estimated closure costs or economic lives, or to reflect new federal or state rules, regulations, or requirements regarding the closure or reclamation of mines. Following is a table of the changes to our asset retirement obligation for the following periods (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Asset retirement obligation, at beginning of period $ 30,981 $ 27,399 $ 30,359 $ 26,864 Accretion of discount 622 535 1,244 1,070 Total asset retirement obligation, at end of period $ 31,603 $ 27,934 $ 31,603 $ 27,934 Less current portion of asset retirement obligation $ (282) $ (300) $ (282) $ (300) Long-term portion of asset retirement obligation $ 31,321 $ 27,634 $ 31,321 $ 27,634 The current portion of the asset retirement obligation is included in "Other current liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024. |

REVENUE | REVENUE Revenue Recognition —We account for revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Under ASC 606, we recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect in exchange for those goods or services. The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collection may result in contract assets or contract liabilities. Contract Balances: As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had a total of $2.9 million and $2.3 million of contract liabilities, respectively, of which $1.3 million and $1.0 million were current as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and included in "Other current liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Reclamation Deposits and Surety Bonds —As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had $27.1 million and $26.8 million, respectively, of security placed principally with the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") and the States of Utah and New Mexico for eventual reclamation of our various facilities. As of June 30, 2024, $0.5 million consisted of long-term restricted cash deposits and $26.6 million was secured by surety bonds issued by an insurer. As of December 31, 2023, $0.5 million consisted of long-term restricted cash deposits and $26.3 million was secured by surety bonds issued by an insurer. The restricted cash deposits are included in "Other assets, net" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the surety bonds are held in place by an annual fee paid to the issuer. We may be required to post additional security to fund future reclamation obligations as reclamation plans are updated or as statutory, regulatory, or other agency requirements change. Legal —We are subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. We expense legal costs as they are incurred. While there are uncertainties in predicting the outcome of any claim or legal action, except as noted below, we believe the ultimate resolution of these claims or actions is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Water Rights and Other Legal Contingencies On March 17, 2022, following an expedited inter se proceeding, a court entered a subfile order and partial final judgment and decree ("Order") determining the validity of our claim to 20,000 acre feet of Pecos River surface water rights. The Order found that our predecessors in interest had forfeited all but approximately 5,800 acre feet of water per year, and that of the remaining 5,800 acre feet of water that had not been forfeited, all but 150 acre feet of water had been abandoned prior to 2017. The Order limited our right to 150 acre fee per annum of water for industrial-salt processing use. We appealed the Order to the New Mexico Court of Appeals ("NMCA"), which, on July 7, 2023, affirmed the Order. On November 17, 2023, we filed a request for the New Mexico Supreme Court ("NMSC") to reconsider and review the NMCA's decision to affirm the Order's abandonment determination. The NMSC agreed to review the NMCA's abandonment determination on February 7, 2024, where it is still before the court. In 2017 and 2018 the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer ("OSE") granted us preliminary and emergency authorizations to sell approximately 5,700 acre-feet of water per year from our Pecos River Water rights. The preliminary and emergency authorizations allowed for water sales to begin immediately, subject to repayment if the underlying water rights were ultimately found to be invalid. If the NMCA's decision is ultimately affirmed, we may have to repay for the water we sold under the preliminary and emergency authorizations. Repayment of this water can be up to two times the amount of water removed from the river. Repayment is customarily made in-kind over a period of time but can take other forms including cash repayment. If we are not able to repay in-kind due to the lack of remaining water rights or logistical constraints, we may need to purchase water to meet this repayment or be subject to a cash repayment. We cannot reasonably estimate the potential volume, timing, or form of repayment, if any, and have not recorded a loss contingency in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations related to this legal matter. We have estimated contingent liabilities recorded in "Other current liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of $2.5 million as of June 30, 2024, mainly related to the potential underpayment of royalties from 2012 to 2016, and a potential fine related to a violation of one of our air quality permits at our New Mexico facility. As of December 31, 2023, we had $3.4 million in contingent liabilities mainly related to the potential underpayment of royalties from 2012 to 2016 and potential royalties on water revenues in 2019 to 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we paid $1.9 million to the New Mexico State Land Office to resolve the matter related to potential royalties on water revenues from 2019 to 2022. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE We measure our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Fair value is defined 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. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation at the measurement date: Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Inputs, other than Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions which reflect those that market participants would use. The classification of fair value measurement within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. Other financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, refundable income taxes, investment securities, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and, if any, advances under our credit facility. With the exception of investment securities, we believe cost approximates fair value for our financial instruments because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash Equivalents —As of June 30, 2024, we had cash equivalents of $1.0 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash equivalents of $0.5 million. Held-to-Maturity Investments —As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we owned debt investment securities classified as held-to-maturity because we have the intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity. Our held-to-maturity debt investment securities consist of investment grade corporate bonds and U.S. government issued bonds. These debt securities are carried at amortized cost and consist of the following (amounts in thousands): As of June 30, 2024 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Short-term Corporate bonds $ 496 $ — $ (2) $ 494 Government bonds 1,968 — (10) 1,958 Total $ 2,464 $ — $ (12) $ 2,452 As of December 31, 2023 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Short-term Corporate bonds $ 991 $ — $ (9) $ 982 Government bonds 1,979 — (13) 1,966 Total $ 2,970 $ — $ (22) $ 2,948 Long-term Corporate bonds $ — $ — $ — $ — Government bonds 954 1 (4) 951 Total $ 954 $ 1 $ (4) $ 951 Our long-term held to maturity investments are recorded in "Long-term investments" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $2.5 million and $3.9 million in held-to-maturity debt investment securities, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, our held-to-maturity investments mature in less than one year. Equity Investments without a Readily Determinable Fair Value —In May 2020, we acquired a non-controlling equity investment in W.D. Von Gonten Laboratories ("WDVGL") for $3.5 million. We initially accounted for this investment as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value and elected to measure our investment, as permitted by GAAP, at cost plus or minus any adjustments for observable changes in prices resulting from orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer or impairment. In July 2022, WDVGL entered into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with National Energy Services Reunited Corporation (“NSER”), a British Virgin Islands corporation headquartered in Houston, Texas. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, WDVGL was combined with the consulting business owned by W.D. Von Gonten (“Consulting”) to form a new entity, W.D. Von Gonten Engineering, LLC (“Engineering”), and NESR purchased Engineering in a majority stock transaction at an agreed upon selling price. NESR stock received from the sale of Engineering will be distributed to investors in WDVGL and Consulting. In February 2023, we received $0.2 million in cash for our investment in WDVG. We recorded that cash received as a liability because we were required to return the cash to WDVGL if the sale of Engineering to NESR was not finalized. The sale of Engineering to NESR has since been finalized and we reduced our investment in WDVG by the amount of cash received. NESR trades on the over-the-counter “Pink Market.” We are valuing our investment in WDVGL primarily based upon the quoted closing share price of NESR on June 30, 2024 and the estimated number of shares of NESR stock we expect to receive for our investment in WDVG. The value of NESR stock is considered a level two input in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had not recorded any adjustments to the carrying value of this investment since the purchase in May 2020. We include this investment in "Long-term investments" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Equity Method Investments |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
BUSINESS SEGMENTS | BUSINESS SEGMENTS Our operations are organized into three segments: potash, Trio ® , and oilfield solutions. We determine reportable segments based on several factors including the types of products and services sold, production processes, markets served and the financial information available for our CODM.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 6 Months Ended |
Jun. 30, 2024 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Financial Statement Presentation | Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. |
Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted | In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expenses and taxes paid. ASC 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the guidance and expect it to only impact disclosures with no impact to results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"). This new guidance: (i) introduces a requirement to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), (ii) extends certain annual disclosures to interim periods, (iii) clarifies disclosure requirements for single reportable segment entities, (iv) permits more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and (v) requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance applies retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the guidance and expect it to only impact disclosures with no impact to results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. |
Revenue Recognition | We account for revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Under ASC 606, we recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect in exchange for those goods or services. The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collection may result in contract assets or contract liabilities. |
Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation | Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Schedule of Calculation of Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share | Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, basic weighted-average common shares outstanding is adjusted to include potentially dilutive securities, including restricted stock, stock options, and performance units. The treasury-stock method is used to measure the dilutive impact of potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. The following table shows the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net (loss) income $ (833) $ 4,305 $ (3,963) $ 8,811 Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 12,886 12,766 12,852 12,730 Add: Dilutive effect of restricted stock — 53 — 89 Add: Dilutive effect of stock options — 36 — 46 Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 12,886 12,855 12,852 12,865 Basic $ (0.06) $ 0.34 $ (0.31) $ 0.69 Diluted $ (0.06) $ 0.33 $ (0.31) $ 0.68 |
