Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION | Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of EFLO Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been made. Operating results for the six months ended February 28, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2015. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation (ASU 2014-10), which eliminates the concept of a development stage entity (DSE) from U.S. GAAP. This change rescinds certain financial reporting requirements that have historically applied to DSEs and is intended to result in cost-savings for affected entities. ASU 2014-10 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods therein. | |
The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 on September 1, 2014 and has applied its guidance in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The application of ASU 2014-10 resulted in the removal of 1) inception-to-date information in the statements of operations and cash flows, 2) labels on the financial statements indicating the Company’s exploration stage status, 3) certain historic disclosures describing exploration stage activities in which the Company has been engaged. The Company does not believe, however, that the removal of this information has a material effect on its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements or the related footnote disclosures thereto. | |
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments require management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The standard applies to all entities and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its financial statements. |

Extractive Industries [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
2. OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES | Oil and Gas Acquisition – Kotaneelee Gas Project (the “KGP”) | ||||||||||||
As a result of two working interest acquisitions, the Company generally owns a 53.65% working interest in the KGP, including a 100% working interest in one shut in gas well. | |||||||||||||
The KGP covers 30,188 gross acres in the Yukon Territory in Canada, and includes: a gas dehydration plant (capacity: 70 MMcf/d), one shut in gas well, one water disposal well (capacity: 6,000 bbl/d), and two suspended gas wells. The KGP has a fully developed gas gathering, sales and delivery infrastructure, airstrip, roads, flarestack, storage tanks, barge dock and a 24 person permanent camp facility. The KGP gas dehydration plant has a processing capacity of 70 MMcf/d, outlet gas compression of 1,200 psig and is tied-in through a 24-inch gas sales line to a gas processing plant in Fort Nelson, British Columbia. | |||||||||||||
On July 18, 2012, the Company completed an acquisition of Devon Canada’s (“Devon”) entire right and interest (generally a working interest of 22.989%, with a working interest of 69.337% in one shut in gas well) in the KGP. As consideration for Devon’s working interest in the KGP, (the “Devon Assets”), the Company paid approximately $23,298,000. The consideration was comprised of $290,000 in cash, 7,250,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $15,950,000, and the absorption of approximately $7,058,000 in asset retirement obligations. | |||||||||||||
On October 17, 2012, the Company completed a Share Purchase Agreement with Nahanni Energy Inc., 1700665 Alberta Ltd., Apex Energy (2000), Inc. and Canada Southern Petroleum #1 L.P. (jointly “Nahanni”) for the acquisition of its entire right and interest (generally a working interest of 30.664%) in the KGP (the “Nahanni Assets”) which, in addition to the 69.337% working interest acquired from Devon on July 18, 2012, provided the Company with a 100% interest in one shut in gas well in the KGP. | |||||||||||||
As consideration for the Nahanni Assets, the Company paid Nahanni approximately $13,761,000. The consideration was comprised of approximately $133,000 in cash ($398,550 offset by $265,950 paid in connection with the acquisition of the Devon Assets in settlement of certain Nahanni indebtedness), 1,614,767 shares of one of the Company’s subsidiaries, which are exchangeable for 1,614,767 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at approximately $4,191,000, and the absorption of approximately $9,437,000 in asset retirement obligations. The number of shares issued by the Company’s subsidiary was calculated by dividing the fair value of the exchangeable shares by the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to closing the purchase agreement. The fair value of the exchangeable shares has been recorded as additional paid in capital in the Company’s equity. The exchangeable shares enjoy no voting or revenue participation rights in the subsidiary. | |||||||||||||
The Company records assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisitions are expensed as incurred. The Company uses relevant market assumptions to determine fair value and allocate purchase price, such as future commodity pricing for purchased hydrocarbons, market multiples for similar transactions and replacement value for certain equipment. Many of the assumptions are unobservable. The Company’s preliminary assessment of the fair value of the Nahanni Assets resulted in a valuation of $25,526,554. As a result of incorporating this information into the purchase price allocation, a gain on bargain purchase of $11,766,787 was recognized in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The gain on bargain purchase was primarily attributable to the strategic nature of the divestiture by the motivated seller, coupled with a confluence of certain favorable economic trends in the industry and the geographic region in which the Nahanni Assets are located. | |||||||||||||
The Company allocated the consideration paid for the Nahanni Assets and Devon assets based upon its assessment of their fair value at the dates of purchase, as follows: | |||||||||||||

Development costs incurred to obtain access and provide facilities for extracting, gathering, treating and storing oil and gas related to unproved oil and gas properties that are being evaluated for economic viability are capitalized to the full cost pool until proved reserves are established, or determination is made that the unproved properties are impaired. During the six months ended February 28, 2015, the full cost pool was increased by $228,557 (2014 - $548,495) as a result of these costs. |

3. ASSET RETIRMENT OBLIGATIONS | In connection with its acquisition of the Nahanni Assets and the Devon Assets, the Company acquired $9,436,526 and $7,057,716 in asset retirement obligations, respectively, relating to its portion of the abandonment, reclamation and environmental liabilities associated with the KGP. | ||||
On March 31, 2011, the Company initiated oil and gas operations by entry into a Farmout and Participation Agreement which provided for its acquisition of a net working interest ranging from 21.25% to 42.5%, in a 2,629 acre oil and gas lease, insofar as that lease covers from the surface to the base of the San Miguel formation (the “San Miguel Lease”). The San Miguel Lease, which is located in Zavala County, Texas, is unproven and has no current production. The Company recorded $80,000 in asset retirement obligations related to the future plugging and abandonment of a test well on the San Miguel Lease. At May 31, 2014, the Company’s interest in the San Miguel lease was impaired and expensed to the extent of its carrying value, which included the full amount of the associated asset retirement obligation. The entire asset retirement obligation relating to the San Miguel Lease has been classified as a current liability. | |||||
The Company has no assets that are legally restricted for purposes of settling asset retirement obligations. As part of the Company’s acquisition of the Devon Assets, it provided Devon a corporate guarantee (the “Guarantee”) in the amount of CAD$10,000,000 ($9,225,000) and delivered a letter of credit in the amount of CAD$4,380,000 ($4,041,000) to Devon (the “Devon LOC”). The Company also delivered a letter of credit in the amount of CAD$625,000 ($577,000) to the government of the Yukon Territory (the “Yukon LOC”). The amounts of the Devon LOC and Yukon LOC reduce the amount of the Guarantee on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The Company is primarily responsible for payment of all asset retirement obligations. The Guarantee, Devon LOC and Yukon LOC are only available to Devon in the event the Company defaults upon its asset retirement obligations relating to the Devon Assets. | |||||

During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Company paid $176,400 in finders’ fees which were recognized as financing fees in the statement of loss.

● | at the option of the note holder, the principal amount is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share to be determined in connection with the Company’s planned offering of shares upon migration to a senior stock exchange, less a 10% discount (the “2014 Conversion Right”); | ||||||||
● | a 6% financing fee on the principal sum of the 2014 Convertible Notes, is payable at the option of the note holder, in shares of the Company’s common stock (the number of which is to be calculated using the closing market price of the Company’s shares at the notes’ maturity date), or in cash of $84,000. | ||||||||
● | the 2014 Convertible Notes are non-interest bearing so long as they are paid or converted prior to their maturity date. In the event of default, or if a 2014 Convertible Note is not paid, or converted on or within ten (10) days following its maturity date: | ||||||||
a) | the note will bear interest at 10% per annum, payable monthly; and, | ||||||||
b) | an additional 4% financing fee (the “Default Financing Fee”) on the then outstanding principal balance of the 2014 Convertible Note(s) shall become due and payable. The Company is obligated to pay the Default Financing Fee in common shares at a conversion price equal to the closing market price of the common shares on the date of an event of default, or at the maturity date, whichever is earliest. | ||||||||
Entities controlled, in part or in whole, by the Company’s Chairman and former President acquired $1,000,000 and $350,000 of 2014 Convertible Notes under these terms. | |||||||||
