GOING CONCERN | 2. GOING CONCERN At March 31, 2021, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations. We had a net loss of $ 2,055,688 113,991,285 The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Managements plan to address the Companys ability to continue as a going concern includes: (1) obtaining debt or equity funding from private placement, institutional, or public sources; (2) obtain loans from financial institutions, where possible, or (3) participating in joint venture transactions with third parties. Although management believes that it will be able to obtain the necessary funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and therefore, the financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accounting principles followed and the methods of applying those principles, which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below: Use of estimates Basis of presentation These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the financial position as of, and the results of operations for, all periods presented. In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the condensed financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. TORCHLIGHT ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Risks and uncertainties Concentration of risks Fair value of financial instruments For assets and liabilities that require re-measurement to fair value the Company categorizes them in a three-level fair value hierarchy as follows: ● Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ● Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration. ● Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on managements own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Cash and cash equivalents Accounts receivable Oil and gas properties Oil and gas properties include costs that are excluded from costs being depleted or amortized. Oil and natural gas property costs excluded represent investments in unevaluated properties and include non-producing leasehold, geological, and geophysical costs associated with leasehold or drilling interests and exploration drilling costs. The Company allocates a portion of its acquisition costs to unevaluated properties based on relative value. Costs are transferred to the full cost pool as the properties are evaluated over the life of the reservoir. Unevaluated properties are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly and are determined through an evaluation considering, among other factors, seismic data, requirements to relinquish acreage, drilling results, remaining time in the commitment period, remaining capital plan, and political, economic, and market conditions. Gains and losses on the sale of oil and gas properties are not generally reflected in income unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. Sales of less than 100% of the Companys interest in the oil and gas property are treated as a reduction of the capital cost of the field, with no gain or loss recognized, as long as doing so does not significantly affect the unit-of-production depletion rate. Costs of retired equipment, net of salvage value, are usually charged to accumulated depreciation. TORCHLIGHT ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Capitalized interest 141,048 614,479 Depreciation, depletion, and amortization Ceiling test The ceiling test calculation uses a commodity price assumption which is based on the unweighted arithmetic average of the price on the first day of each month for each month within the prior 12-month period and excludes future cash outflows related to estimated abandonment costs. The determination of oil and gas reserves is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data and the application of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable reserves and future net cash flows depend on a number of variable factors and assumptions that are difficult to predict and may vary considerably from actual results. In particular, reserve estimates for wells with limited or no production history are less reliable than those based on actual production. Subsequent re-evaluation of reserves and cost estimates related to future development of proved oil and gas reserves could result in significant revisions to proved reserves. Other issues, such as changes in regulatory requirements, technological advances, and other factors which are difficult to predict could also affect estimates of proved reserves in the future. Asset retirement obligations Inherent in the fair value calculation of an ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental, and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement. Income taxes Authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an examination. Management has reviewed the Companys tax positions and determined there were no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Company tax returns remain subject to Federal and State tax examinations. Generally, the applicable statutes of limitation are three to four years from their respective filings. TORCHLIGHT ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Estimated interest and penalties related to potential underpayment on any unrecognized tax benefits are classified as a component of tax expense in the statements of operation. The Company has not recorded any interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits for any periods covered by these financial statements. Share-based compensation The Company accounts for stock option awards using the calculated value method. The expected term was derived using the simplified method provided in Securities and Exchange Commission release Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, which averages an awards weighted average vesting period and contractual term for plain vanilla share options. The Company accounts for any forfeitures of options when they occur. Previously recognized compensation cost for an award is reversed in the period that the award is forfeited. The Company also issues equity awards to non-employees. The fair value of these option awards is estimated when the award recipient completes the contracted professional services. The Company recognizes expense for the estimated total value of the awards during the period from their issuance until performance completion. The Company values warrant and option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Revenue recognition Revenues from oil and gas sales Three Months Three Months March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Revenues Oil sales $ 1,166 $ 82,113 Gas sales 1,305 2,507 Total $ 2,471 $ 84,620 Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue in the amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring control of those goods to the customer. Amounts allocated in the Companys price contracts are based on the standalone selling price of those products in the context of long-term contracts. Payment is generally received one or two months after the sale has occurred. TORCHLIGHT ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Gain or loss on derivative instruments is outside the scope of ASC 606 and is not considered revenue from contracts with customers subject to ASC 606. The Company may in the future use financial or physical contracts accounted for as derivatives as economic hedges to manage price risk associated with normal sales, or in limited cases may use them for contracts the Company intends to physically settle but do not meet all of the criteria to be treated as normal sales. Producer Gas Imbalances. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share – 8,741,060 Environmental laws and regulations Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2019-12 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued in December 2019 with the intent of simplifying the accounting for income taxes. The accounting update removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 Income Taxes as well as provides simplification by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-09, Debt- Debt (Topic 470): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762 (ASU 2020-09). The amendments in ASU 2020-09 amend rules focused on the provision of material, relevant, and decision-useful information regarding guarantees and other credit enhancements, and eliminate prescriptive requirements that have imposed unnecessary burdens and incentivized issuers of securities with guarantees and other credit enhancements to offer and sell those securities on an unregistered basis. The adopted amendments relate to the financial disclosure requirements for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities registered or being registered in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, and affiliates whose securities collateralize securities registered or being registered in Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X. The amendments in ASU 2020-09 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has evaluated the provisions of ASU 2020-09 and noted no material impact to our consolidated financial statements or disclosures from the adoption of this ASU. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updated various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SECs regulations. The amendments in ASU 2020-10 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, for public business entities. The Company adopted ASU 2020-10 on January 1, 2021 and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements and related disclosures. Other recently issued or adopted accounting pronouncements are not expected to have, or did not have, a material impact on the Companys financial position or results from operations.

OIL & GAS PROPERTIES The following table presents the capitalized costs for oil & gas properties March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Evaluated costs subject to amortization $ 15,656,182 $ 15,656,182 Unevaluated costs 31,441,701 30,857,959 Total capitalized costs 47,097,883 46,514,141 Less accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization (15,656,182 ) (15,656,182 ) Total oil and gas properties $ 31,441,701 $ 30,857,959 Unevaluated costs as of March 31, 2021 include cumulative costs on developing projects including the Orogrande and Hazel projects in West Texas. The Company periodically adjusts for the separation of evaluated versus unevaluated costs within its full cost pool to recognize any value impairment related to the expiration of, or changes in market value, of unevaluated leases. The impact of reclassifications as they become necessary is to increase the basis for calculation of future periods depletion, depreciation and amortization which effectively recognizes any impairment on the consolidated statement of operations over future periods. Reclassified costs also become evaluated costs for purposes of ceiling tests and which may cause recognition of increased impairment expense in future periods. The remaining cumulative unevaluated costs which have been reclassified within our full cost pool totals $ 5,881,635 TORCHLIGHT ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 4. OIL & GAS PROPERTIES - continued Due to the volatility of commodity prices, should oil and natural gas prices decline in the future, it is possible that a write-down could occur. Proved reserves are estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. The independent engineering estimates include only those amounts considered to be proved reserves and do not include additional amounts which may result from new discoveries in the future, or from application of secondary and tertiary recovery processes where facilities are not in place or for which transportation and/or marketing contracts are not in place. Estimated reserves to be developed through secondary or tertiary recovery processes are classified as unevaluated properties. Current Projects We are an energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, exploitation and/or development of oil and natural gas properties in the United States. We are primarily focused on the acquisition of early stage projects, the development and delineation of these projects, and then the monetization of those assets once these activities are completed. Since 2010, our primary focus has been the development of interests in oil and gas projects we hold in the Permian Basin in West Texas. We also hold minor interests in certain other oil and gas projects in Central Oklahoma that we are in the process of divesting. As of March 31, 2021, we had interests in three oil and gas projects: the Orogrande Project in Hudspeth County, Texas, the Hazel Project in Sterling, Tom Green, and Irion Counties, Texas, and two wells in Central Oklahoma. Orogrande Project, West Texas On August 7, 2014, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Hudspeth Oil Corporation (Hudspeth), McCabe Petroleum Corporation (MPC), and Gregory McCabe, our Chairman. Mr. McCabe was the sole owner of both Hudspeth and MPC. Under the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, we purchased 100% We believe all drilling obligations through March 31, 2021 have been met. Effective March 27, 2017, the property became subject to a DDU Agreement which allows for all 192 existing leases covering approximately 134,000 net acres leased from University Lands to be combined into one drilling and development unit for development purposes. The term of the DDU Agreement expires on December 31, 2023, and the time to drill on the drilling and development unit continues through December 2023. The DDU Agreement also grants the right to extend the DDU Agreement through December 2028 if compliance with the DDU Agreement is met and the extension fee associated with the additional time is paid. Our drilling obligations include four five TORCHLIGHT ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 4. OIL & GAS PROPERTIES - continued On July 25, 2018, we and Hudspeth entered into a Settlement & Purchase Agreement (the Settlement Agreement) with Founders (and Founders Oil & Gas Operating, LLC, former Operator), Wolfbone and MPC (entities controlled by our Chairman), which agreement provided for Founders assigning all of its working interest in the oil and gas leases of the Orogrande Project to Hudspeth and Wolfbone equally. Future well capital spending obligations remained the same 50% contribution from Hudspeth and 50% from Wolfbone until such time as the $40.5 million to be spent on the project. The Company estimates that there is still approximately $8.7 million remaining to be spent on the project until such time as the capital expenditures revert back to the percentages of the working interest owners. The Company has drilled nine test wells in the Orogrande in order to stay in compliance with University Lands D&D Unit Agreement, as well as, to test for potential shallow pay zones and deeper pay zones that may be present on structural plays. Development of the wells continued through March 31, 2021 to further capture and document the scientific base in support of demonstrating the production potential of the property. The Company is currently marketing the project for an outright sale or farm in partner. This marketing process has been long and arduous as the overall market is quite soft. Due to the size and scope of the project, we are dealing with very large companies that have multitudes of people reviewing our material, which in itself is extensive. Should a farm out partner or sale not occur, the Company and Wolfbone will continue to drill additional wells in the play in order to fulfill the obligations under the DDU Agreement. On March 9, 2020, holders of notes payable by the Company entered into a Conversion Agreement under which the noteholders elected to convert principal of $6,000,000 and approximately $1,331,000 of accrued interest on the notes, in accordance with their terms, into an aggregate 6% working interest (of all such holders) in the Orogrande Project The Orogrande Project ownership Revenue Working Interest Interest University Lands - Mineral Owner 20.000 % n/a ORRI - Magdalena Royalties, LLC, an entity controlled by Gregory McCabe, Chairman 4.500 % n/a ORRI - Unrelated Party 0.500 % n/a Hudspeth Oil Corporation, a subsidiary of Torchlight Energy Resources Inc. 49.875 % 66.500 % Wolfbone Investments LLC, an entity controlled by Gregory McCabe, Chairman 18.750 % 25.000 % Conversion by Note Holders in March, 2020 4.500 % 6.000 % Unrelated Party 1.875 % 2.500 % 100.000 % 100.000 % TORCHLIGHT ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.

OIL & GAS PROPERTIES - continued Hazel Project in the Midland Basin in West Texas Effective April 4, 2016, TEI acquired from MPC a 66.66% working interest in approximately 12,000 acres in the Midland Basin. A back-in after payout of a 25% working interest was retained by MPC and another unrelated working interest owner. In October 2016, the holders of all of our then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (which were issued in July 2016) elected to convert into a total 33.33% working interest in our Hazel Project, reducing our ownership from 66.66% to a 33.33% working interest. Acquisition of Additional Interests in Hazel Project On January 30, 2017, we entered into and closed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and a Plan of Merger with an entity which was wholly-owned by Mr. McCabe, which resulted in the acquisition of approximately 40.66% working interest in the 12,000 gross acres, 9,600 net acres, in the Hazel Project. Also, on January 30, 2017, the Company entered into and closed a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Wolfbone. Under the agreement, we acquired certain of Wolfbones Hazel Project assets, including its interest in the Flying B Ranch #1 well and the 40-acre unit surrounding the well. Upon the closing of the transactions, our working interest in the Hazel Project increased by 40.66% to a total ownership of 74%. Effective June 1, 2017, we acquired an additional 6% working interest from unrelated working interest owners increasing our working interest in the Hazel project to 80%, and an overall net revenue interest of 74-75%. The Company has drilled six test wells on the Hazel Project to capture and document the scientific base in support of demonstrating the production potential of the property. Lease Modifications In May 2019 we entered into agreements with two of the three mineral owners on the northern section of the leases to keep the entire acreage block as one lease with a one-year extension. We issued each of them 50,000 shares of our common stock as consideration for this extension. As of December 31, 2020, we have structured the extension agreement retroactively with the third mineral owner for cash consideration. Due to this extension, our obligation for 2019 reduced to one obligation well. We finished that obligation well targeting a shallow zone that showed oil potential. For the remainder of 2020 the Company must drill one well in June and two wells by the December 31, 2020. Development of the June well was initiated during June 2020. The December obligation was met under the terms of the Option Agreement. See below. Option Agreement with Masterson Hazel Partners, LP On August 13, 2020, our subsidiaries Torchlight Energy, Inc. and Torchlight Hazel, LLC (collectively, Torchlight) entered into an option agreement (the Option Agreement) with Masterson Hazel Partners, LP (MHP) and McCabe Petroleum Corporation. Under the agreement, MHP was obligated to drill and complete, or cause to be drilled and completed, at its sole cost and expense, a new lateral well (the Well) on our Hazel Project, sufficient to satisfy Torchlights continuous development obligations on the southern half of the prospect no later than September 30, 2020. MHP has satisfied this drilling obligation. MHP paid to Torchlight $1,000 as an option fee at the time of execution of the Option Agreement. MHP is entitled to receive, as its sole recourse for the recoupment of drilling costs, the revenue from production of the Well attributable to Torchlights interest until such time as it has recovered its reasonable costs and expenses for drilling, completing, and operating the well. TORCHLIGHT ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED ) 4. OIL & GAS PROPERTIES - continued In exchange for MHP satisfying the above drilling obligations, Torchlight granted to MHP the exclusive right and option to perform operations, at MHPs sole cost and expense, on the Hazel Project sufficient to satisfy Torchlights continuous development obligations on the northern half of the prospect. Because MHP exercised this drilling option and satisfied the continuous development obligations on the northern half of the prospect, under the terms of the Option Agreement (as amended in September 2020 and in April 2021) MHP now has the option to purchase the entire Hazel Project no later than September 30, 2021; provided, however, that the Option Price increases by $500,000 on the first of every calendar month beginning on June 1, 2021, without proration, during the option period. Further, the option period will expire upon the occurrence of the earlier of following: (1) if MHP fails to, no later than 30 days prior to the date of any drilling obligation on the Hazel Project, deliver notice of intent to conduct operations sufficient to satisfy such obligation; or (2) if MHP fails to commence operations sufficient to satisfy any drilling obligation on the Hazel Project seven days prior to the deadline for satisfying the applicable drilling obligation. Such purchase would be under the terms of a form of Purchase and Sale Agreement included as an exhibit to the Option Agreement, at an aggregate purchase price of $12,690,704 (subject to additions as described above) for approximately 9,762 net mineral acres, and not less than 74% net revenue interest (approximately $1,300 per net mineral acre). In the event MHP exercises its option to purchase the entire Hazel Project, McCabe Petroleum Corporation, which is owned by our chairman Gregory McCabe, has agreed to reduce its reversionary interest in the Hazel Project from 20% to not more than 12.5%. Hunton Play, Central Oklahoma Presently, we are producing from one well in the Viking Area of Mutual Interest and one well in Prairie Grove. Assessment for Assets Held for Sale Classification With respect to marketing oil and natural gas properties, the Company has evaluated the properties being marketed to determine whether any should be reclassified as held-for-sale at March 31, 2021. The held-for-sale criteria include: management commits to a plan to sell; the asset is available for immediate sale; an active program to locate a buyer exists; the sale of the asset is probable and expected to be completed within one year; the asset is being actively marketed for sale; and it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made. If each of these criteria is met, the property would be reclassified as held-for-sale on the Companys consolidated balance sheets and measured at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are estimated using accepted valuation techniques, such as a discounted cash flow model, valuations performed by third parties, earnings multiples, or indicative bids, when available. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the estimates are made; however, the fair value that is ultimately realized upon the sale of the assets to be divested may differ from the estimated fair values reflected in the consolidated financial statements. If each of these criteria is met, DD&A expense would not be recorded on assets to be divested once they are classified as held for sale. Based on managements assessment, certain criteria have not been met and no assets are classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2021. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates |
Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the financial position as of, and the results of operations for, all periods presented. In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the condensed financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. |
Risks and uncertainties | Risks and uncertainties |
Concentration of risks | Concentration of risks |
Fair value of financial instruments | Fair value of financial instruments For assets and liabilities that require re-measurement to fair value the Company categorizes them in a three-level fair value hierarchy as follows: ● Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ● Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration. ● Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on managements own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash and cash equivalents |
Accounts receivable | Accounts receivable |
Oil and gas properties | Oil and gas properties Oil and gas properties include costs that are excluded from costs being depleted or amortized. Oil and natural gas property costs excluded represent investments in unevaluated properties and include non-producing leasehold, geological, and geophysical costs associated with leasehold or drilling interests and exploration drilling costs. The Company allocates a portion of its acquisition costs to unevaluated properties based on relative value. Costs are transferred to the full cost pool as the properties are evaluated over the life of the reservoir. Unevaluated properties are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly and are determined through an evaluation considering, among other factors, seismic data, requirements to relinquish acreage, drilling results, remaining time in the commitment period, remaining capital plan, and political, economic, and market conditions. Gains and losses on the sale of oil and gas properties are not generally reflected in income unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. Sales of less than 100% of the Companys interest in the oil and gas property are treated as a reduction of the capital cost of the field, with no gain or loss recognized, as long as doing so does not significantly affect the unit-of-production depletion rate. Costs of retired equipment, net of salvage value, are usually charged to accumulated depreciation. |
Capitalized interest | Capitalized interest 141,048 614,479 |
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization | Depreciation, depletion, and amortization |
Ceiling test | Ceiling test The ceiling test calculation uses a commodity price assumption which is based on the unweighted arithmetic average of the price on the first day of each month for each month within the prior 12-month period and excludes future cash outflows related to estimated abandonment costs. The determination of oil and gas reserves is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data and the application of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable reserves and future net cash flows depend on a number of variable factors and assumptions that are difficult to predict and may vary considerably from actual results. In particular, reserve estimates for wells with limited or no production history are less reliable than those based on actual production. Subsequent re-evaluation of reserves and cost estimates related to future development of proved oil and gas reserves could result in significant revisions to proved reserves. Other issues, such as changes in regulatory requirements, technological advances, and other factors which are difficult to predict could also affect estimates of proved reserves in the future. |
Asset retirement obligations | Asset retirement obligations Inherent in the fair value calculation of an ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental, and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement. |
Income taxes | Income taxes Authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an examination. Management has reviewed the Companys tax positions and determined there were no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Company tax returns remain subject to Federal and State tax examinations. Generally, the applicable statutes of limitation are three to four years from their respective filings. TORCHLIGHT ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Estimated interest and penalties related to potential underpayment on any unrecognized tax benefits are classified as a component of tax expense in the statements of operation. The Company has not recorded any interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits for any periods covered by these financial statements. |
Share-based compensation | Share-based compensation The Company accounts for stock option awards using the calculated value method. The expected term was derived using the simplified method provided in Securities and Exchange Commission release Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, which averages an awards weighted average vesting period and contractual term for plain vanilla share options. The Company accounts for any forfeitures of options when they occur. Previously recognized compensation cost for an award is reversed in the period that the award is forfeited. The Company also issues equity awards to non-employees. The fair value of these option awards is estimated when the award recipient completes the contracted professional services. The Company recognizes expense for the estimated total value of the awards during the period from their issuance until performance completion. The Company values warrant and option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. |

The Company recognizes revenue in the amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring control of those goods to the customer. Amounts allocated in the Companys price contracts are based on the standalone selling price of those products in the context of long-term contracts. Payment is generally received one or two months after the sale has occurred. TORCHLIGHT ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Gain or loss on derivative instruments is outside the scope of ASC 606 and is not considered revenue from contracts with customers subject to ASC 606. The Company may in the future use financial or physical contracts accounted for as derivatives as economic hedges to manage price risk associated with normal sales, or in limited cases may use them for contracts the Company intends to physically settle but do not meet all of the criteria to be treated as normal sales.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements | Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2019-12 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued in December 2019 with the intent of simplifying the accounting for income taxes. The accounting update removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 Income Taxes as well as provides simplification by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-09, Debt- Debt (Topic 470): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762 (ASU 2020-09). The amendments in ASU 2020-09 amend rules focused on the provision of material, relevant, and decision-useful information regarding guarantees and other credit enhancements, and eliminate prescriptive requirements that have imposed unnecessary burdens and incentivized issuers of securities with guarantees and other credit enhancements to offer and sell those securities on an unregistered basis. The adopted amendments relate to the financial disclosure requirements for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities registered or being registered in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, and affiliates whose securities collateralize securities registered or being registered in Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X. The amendments in ASU 2020-09 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has evaluated the provisions of ASU 2020-09 and noted no material impact to our consolidated financial statements or disclosures from the adoption of this ASU. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updated various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SECs regulations. The amendments in ASU 2020-10 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, for public business entities. The Company adopted ASU 2020-10 on January 1, 2021 and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements and related disclosures. Other recently issued or adopted accounting pronouncements are not expected to have, or did not have, a material impact on the Companys financial position or results from operations. |
