Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization The Ridgewood Energy X Fund, LLC (the “Fund”), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on August 30, 2007 and operates pursuant to a limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) dated as of January 2, 2008 by and among Ridgewood Energy Corporation (the “Manager”) and the shareholders of the Fund, which addresses matters such as the authority and voting rights of the Manager and shareholders, capitalization, transferability of membership interests, participation in costs and revenues, distribution of assets and dissolution and winding up. The Fund was organized to primarily acquire interests in oil and gas properties located in the United States offshore waters of Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama in the Gulf of Mexico. The Manager has direct and exclusive control over the management of the Fund's operations. With respect to project investments, the Manager locates potential projects, conducts due diligence and negotiates and completes the transactions in which the investments are made. The Manager performs, or arranges for the performance of, the management, advisory and administrative services required for Fund operations. Such services include, without limitation, the administration of shareholder accounts, shareholder relations and the preparation, review and dissemination of tax and other financial information. In addition, the Manager provides office space, equipment and facilities and other services necessary for Fund operations. The Manager also engages and manages the contractual relations with unaffiliated custodians, depositories, accountants, attorneys, broker-dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurers, banks and others as required. See Notes 2 and 3. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Manager reviews its estimates, including those related to the fair value of financial instruments, property balances, determination of proved reserves, impairments and asset retirement obligations. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Reclassifications The Fund's financial statements for prior periods include reclassifications that were made to conform to the current-year presentation. Fair Value Measurements The fair value measurement guidance provides a hierarchy that prioritizes and defines the types of inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs, which consists of unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 inputs consist of quoted prices for similar instruments. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the instrument; hence, these inputs have the lowest priority. Cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value based on Level 1 inputs. Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with maturities, when purchased, of three months or less, are considered cash and cash equivalents. At times, deposits may be in excess of federally insured limits, which are $ 250 Salvage Fund The Fund deposits in a separate interest-bearing account, or salvage fund, money to provide for the dismantling and removal of production platforms and facilities and plugging and abandoning its wells at the end of their useful lives in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Interest earned on the account will become part of the salvage fund. There are no restrictions on withdrawals from the salvage fund. Investment in Delta House The Fund has investments in Delta House Oil and Gas Lateral, LLC and Delta House FPS, LLC (collectively “Delta House”), legal entities that own interests in a deepwater floating production system operated by LLOG Exploration Company. The Fund accounts for its investment in Delta House using the cost method of accounting for investments as it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over such investment. Under the cost method, the Fund recognizes an investment in the equity of an investee at cost. The Fund recognizes as income dividends received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the investee since the date of acquisition by the Fund. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions of cost of the investment. The fair value of this investment is not estimated because there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. The aggregate prior year balance of the Fund's investment in Delta House was classified as “Equipment and facilities – in progress” within “Oil and gas properties” in the Fund's December 31, 2014 balance sheet. Such amount has been corrected to reclassify these investments in the Fund's December 31, 2014 balance sheet as “Investment in Delta House”. The reclassification had no impact on the Fund's statement of operations or statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014. Oil and Gas Properties The Fund invests in oil and gas properties, which are operated by unaffiliated entities that are responsible for drilling, administering and producing activities pursuant to the terms of the applicable operating agreements with working interest owners. The Fund's portion of exploration, drilling, operating and capital equipment expenditures is billed by operators. Exploration, development and acquisition costs are accounted for using the successful efforts method. Costs of acquiring unproved and proved oil and natural gas leasehold acreage, including lease bonuses, brokers' fees and other related costs are capitalized. Costs of drilling and equipping productive wells and related production facilities are capitalized. The costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether proved reserves have been found. If proved commercial reserves are not found, exploratory costs are expensed as dry-hole costs. At times, the Fund receives adjustments to certain wells from their respective operators upon review and audit of the wells' costs. Annual lease rentals and exploration expenses are expensed as incurred. All costs related to production activity, transportation expense and workover efforts are expensed as incurred. Insurance expense related to operating wells of $ 0.1 0.1 0.4 Once a well has been determined to be fully depleted or upon the sale, retirement or abandonment of a property, the cost and related accumulated depletion and amortization, if any, is eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, amounts recorded in due to operators totaling $ 37 0.2 Advances to Operators for Working Interests and Expenditures The Fund may be required to advance its share of the estimated succeeding month's expenditures to the operator for its oil and gas properties. The Fund accounts for such payments as advances to operators for working interests and expenditures. As the costs are incurred, the advances are reclassified to proved properties. Asset Retirement Obligations For oil and gas properties, there are obligations to perform removal and remediation activities when the properties are retired. When a project reaches drilling depth and is determined to be either proved or dry, an asset retirement obligation is incurred. Plug and abandonment costs associated with unsuccessful projects are expensed as dry-hole costs. The following table presents changes in asset retirement obligations for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. 2015 2014 (in thousands) Balance, beginning of year $ 1,571 $ 1,513 Liabilities incurred 36 19 Accretion expense 140 39 Revisions in estimated cash flows 778 - Balance, end of year $ 2,525 $ 1,571 As indicated above, the Fund maintains a salvage fund to provide for the funding of future asset retirement obligations. Syndication Costs Syndication costs are direct costs incurred by the Fund in connection with the offering of the Fund's shares, including professional fees, selling expenses and administrative costs payable to the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and unaffiliated broker-dealers, which are reflected on the Fund's balance sheet as a reduction of shareholders' capital. Revenue Recognition and Imbalances Oil and gas revenues are recognized when oil and gas is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectability of the revenue is probable. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Fund reviews the value of its oil and gas properties annually and when management determines that events and circumstances indicate that the recorded carrying value of properties may not be recoverable. Impairments are determined by comparing estimated future net undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value at the time of the review. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the asset is written down to fair value, which is determined using estimated future net discounted cash flows from the asset. The fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to change. Different pricing assumptions, reserve estimates or discount rates could result in a different calculated impairment. Given the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, it is reasonably possible that the Fund's estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves could change in the near term. Significant declines in oil and natural gas prices since fourth quarter 2014 have impacted the fair value of the Fund's oil and gas properties. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Fund did not record an impairment of oil and gas properties. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Fund recorded an impairment of oil and gas properties of $ 1.6 Depletion and Amortization Depletion and amortization of the cost of proved oil and gas properties are calculated using the units-of-production method. Proved developed reserves are used as the base for depleting capitalized costs associated with successful exploratory well costs, development costs and related facilities. The sum of proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves is used as the base for depleting or amortizing leasehold acquisition costs. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Fund recorded $ 0.4 Income Taxes No provision is made for income taxes in the financial statements. The Fund is a limited liability company, and as such, the Fund's income or loss is passed through and included in the tax returns of the Fund's shareholders. The Fund files U.S. Federal and State tax returns and the 2012 through 2014 tax returns remain open for examination by tax authorities. Income and Expense Allocation Profits and losses are allocated to shareholders and the Manager in accordance with the LLC Agreement. Distributions Distributions to shareholders are allocated in proportion to the number of shares held. The Manager determines whether available cash from operations, as defined in the LLC Agreement, will be distributed. Such distributions are allocated 85 15 Available cash from dispositions, as defined in the LLC Agreement, will be paid 99 1 85 15 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01 that requires, among other things, companies to measure investments in other entities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption not permitted. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	3. Commitments and Contingencies Capital Commitments The Fund has entered into multiple agreements for the acquisition, drilling and development of its oil and gas properties. The estimated capital expenditures associated with these agreements vary depending on the stage of development on a property-by-property basis. As of December 31, 2015, the Fund had two properties, the Diller and Marmalard projects, for which additional development costs must be incurred. The Fund currently expects to spend an additional $ 4.2 As of December 31, 2015, the Fund's estimated capital commitments related to its oil and gas properties were $ 6.7 3.8 1.2 Based upon its current cash position and its current reserve estimates, the Fund expects cash flow from operations to be sufficient to cover its commitments, as well as ongoing operations. Reserve estimates are projections based on engineering data that cannot be measured with precision, require substantial judgment, and are subject to frequent revision. Environmental Considerations The exploration for and development of oil and natural gas involves the extraction, production and transportation of materials which, under certain conditions, can be hazardous or cause environmental pollution problems. The Manager and operators of the Fund's properties are continually taking action they believe appropriate to satisfy applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations and do not currently anticipate that compliance with federal, state and local environmental regulations will have a material adverse effect upon capital expenditures, results of operations or the competitive position of the Fund in the oil and gas industry. However, due to the significant public and governmental interest in environmental matters related to those activities, the Manager cannot predict the effects of possible future legislation, rule changes, or governmental or private claims. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no known environmental contingencies that required the Fund to record a liability. During the past several years, the United States Congress, as well as certain regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over the Fund's business, have considered or proposed legislation or regulation relating to the upstream oil and gas industry both onshore and offshore. If any such proposals were to be enacted or adopted they could potentially materially impact the Fund's operations. It is not possible at this time to predict whether such legislation or regulation, if proposed, will be adopted as initially written, if at all, or how legislation or new regulation that may be adopted would impact the Fund's business. Any such future laws and regulations could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions, which could have a material adverse effect on the Fund's operating results and cash flows. Insurance Coverage The Fund is subject to all risks inherent in the exploration for and development of oil and natural gas. Insurance coverage as is customary for entities engaged in similar operations is maintained, but losses may occur from uninsurable risks or amounts in excess of existing insurance coverage. The occurrence of an event that is not insured or not fully insured could have a material adverse impact upon earnings and financial position. Moreover, insurance is obtained as a package covering all of the funds managed by the Manager. Claims made by other funds managed by the Manager can reduce or eliminate insurance for the Fund.

During January 2015, the Carrera Project was shut-in due to ongoing mechanical issues related to a blockage in the flowline. Upon evaluation, it was determined that estimated costs to bring the well back on production were not economic relative to the remaining reserves. As a result, approximately 37 3 44 Table IV - Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves Summarized in the following table is information for the Fund with respect to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves.

See Note 1 of “Notes to Financial Statements” – “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” under the heading and “Oil and Gas Properties” contained in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” within this Annual Report for more information on the reclassification . It is necessary to emphasize that the data presented should not be viewed as representing the expected cash flow from, or current value of, existing proved reserves as the computations are based on a number of estimates. Reserve quantities cannot be measured with precision and their estimation requires many judgmental determinations and frequent revisions. The required projection of production and related expenditures over time requires further estimates with respect to pipeline availability, rates and governmental control. Actual future prices and costs are likely to be substantially different from the current price and cost estimates utilized in the computation of reported amounts. Any analysis or evaluation of the reported amounts should give specific recognition to the computational methods utilized and the limitation inherent therein.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Manager reviews its estimates, including those related to the fair value of financial instruments, property balances, determination of proved reserves, impairments and asset retirement obligations. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications The Fund's financial statements for prior periods include reclassifications that were made to conform to the current-year presentation.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The fair value measurement guidance provides a hierarchy that prioritizes and defines the types of inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs, which consists of unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 inputs consist of quoted prices for similar instruments. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the instrument; hence, these inputs have the lowest priority. Cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value based on Level 1 inputs.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with maturities, when purchased, of three months or less, are considered cash and cash equivalents. At times, deposits may be in excess of federally insured limits, which are $ 250
Salvage Fund	Salvage Fund The Fund deposits in a separate interest-bearing account, or salvage fund, money to provide for the dismantling and removal of production platforms and facilities and plugging and abandoning its wells at the end of their useful lives in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Interest earned on the account will become part of the salvage fund. There are no restrictions on withdrawals from the salvage fund.
Investment in Delta House	Investment in Delta House The Fund has investments in Delta House Oil and Gas Lateral, LLC and Delta House FPS, LLC (collectively “Delta House”), legal entities that own interests in a deepwater floating production system operated by LLOG Exploration Company. The Fund accounts for its investment in Delta House using the cost method of accounting for investments as it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over such investment. Under the cost method, the Fund recognizes an investment in the equity of an investee at cost. The Fund recognizes as income dividends received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the investee since the date of acquisition by the Fund. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions of cost of the investment. The fair value of this investment is not estimated because there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. The aggregate prior year balance of the Fund's investment in Delta House was classified as “Equipment and facilities – in progress” within “Oil and gas properties” in the Fund's December 31, 2014 balance sheet. Such amount has been corrected to reclassify these investments in the Fund's December 31, 2014 balance sheet as “Investment in Delta House”. The reclassification had no impact on the Fund's statement of operations or statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Oil and Gas Properties	Oil and Gas Properties The Fund invests in oil and gas properties, which are operated by unaffiliated entities that are responsible for drilling, administering and producing activities pursuant to the terms of the applicable operating agreements with working interest owners. The Fund's portion of exploration, drilling, operating and capital equipment expenditures is billed by operators. Exploration, development and acquisition costs are accounted for using the successful efforts method. Costs of acquiring unproved and proved oil and natural gas leasehold acreage, including lease bonuses, brokers' fees and other related costs are capitalized. Costs of drilling and equipping productive wells and related production facilities are capitalized. The costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether proved reserves have been found. If proved commercial reserves are not found, exploratory costs are expensed as dry-hole costs. At times, the Fund receives adjustments to certain wells from their respective operators upon review and audit of the wells' costs. Annual lease rentals and exploration expenses are expensed as incurred. All costs related to production activity, transportation expense and workover efforts are expensed as incurred. Insurance expense related to operating wells of $ 0.1 0.1 0.4 Once a well has been determined to be fully depleted or upon the sale, retirement or abandonment of a property, the cost and related accumulated depletion and amortization, if any, is eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, amounts recorded in due to operators totaling $ 37 0.2
Advances to Operators for Working Interests and Expenditures	Advances to Operators for Working Interests and Expenditures The Fund may be required to advance its share of the estimated succeeding month's expenditures to the operator for its oil and gas properties. The Fund accounts for such payments as advances to operators for working interests and expenditures. As the costs are incurred, the advances are reclassified to proved properties.
Asset Retirement Obligations	Asset Retirement Obligations For oil and gas properties, there are obligations to perform removal and remediation activities when the properties are retired. When a project reaches drilling depth and is determined to be either proved or dry, an asset retirement obligation is incurred. Plug and abandonment costs associated with unsuccessful projects are expensed as dry-hole costs. The following table presents changes in asset retirement obligations for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. 2015 2014 (in thousands) Balance, beginning of year $ 1,571 $ 1,513 Liabilities incurred 36 19 Accretion expense 140 39 Revisions in estimated cash flows 778 - Balance, end of year $ 2,525 $ 1,571 As indicated above, the Fund maintains a salvage fund to provide for the funding of future asset retirement obligations.
Syndication Costs	Syndication Costs Syndication costs are direct costs incurred by the Fund in connection with the offering of the Fund's shares, including professional fees, selling expenses and administrative costs payable to the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and unaffiliated broker-dealers, which are reflected on the Fund's balance sheet as a reduction of shareholders' capital.
Revenue Recognition and Imbalances	Revenue Recognition and Imbalances Oil and gas revenues are recognized when oil and gas is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectability of the revenue is probable.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Fund reviews the value of its oil and gas properties annually and when management determines that events and circumstances indicate that the recorded carrying value of properties may not be recoverable. Impairments are determined by comparing estimated future net undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value at the time of the review. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the asset is written down to fair value, which is determined using estimated future net discounted cash flows from the asset. The fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to change. Different pricing assumptions, reserve estimates or discount rates could result in a different calculated impairment. Given the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, it is reasonably possible that the Fund's estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves could change in the near term. Significant declines in oil and natural gas prices since fourth quarter 2014 have impacted the fair value of the Fund's oil and gas properties. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Fund did not record an impairment of oil and gas properties. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Fund recorded an impairment of oil and gas properties of $ 1.6
Depletion and Amortization	Depletion and Amortization Depletion and amortization of the cost of proved oil and gas properties are calculated using the units-of-production method. Proved developed reserves are used as the base for depleting capitalized costs associated with successful exploratory well costs, development costs and related facilities. The sum of proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves is used as the base for depleting or amortizing leasehold acquisition costs. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Fund recorded $ 0.4
Income Taxes	Income Taxes No provision is made for income taxes in the financial statements. The Fund is a limited liability company, and as such, the Fund's income or loss is passed through and included in the tax returns of the Fund's shareholders. The Fund files U.S. Federal and State tax returns and the 2012 through 2014 tax returns remain open for examination by tax authorities.
Income and Expense Allocation	Income and Expense Allocation Profits and losses are allocated to shareholders and the Manager in accordance with the LLC Agreement.
Distributions	Distributions Distributions to shareholders are allocated in proportion to the number of shares held. The Manager determines whether available cash from operations, as defined in the LLC Agreement, will be distributed. Such distributions are allocated 85 15 Available cash from dispositions, as defined in the LLC Agreement, will be paid 99 1 85 15
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01 that requires, among other things, companies to measure investments in other entities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption not permitted. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.
