Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies General Sable Natural Resources Corporation (“Sable”) is an independent oil and gas company focused on the acquisition and exploitation of unconventional liquids rich gas and oil reserves in the Fort Worth Basin. The company's strategy is to increase production and expand oil and gas reserves through unconventional recompletions and restimulations of existing conventional wells and the drilling of low risk, high rate-of-return gas and oil wells. Sable and subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the "Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our.” The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. These financial statements include the accounts of Sable and entities in which it holds a controlling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year classification. The interim financial data as of June 30, 2015 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is unaudited; in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Due to time and financial constraints, this report has not been reviewed by our independent auditors. We cannot be certain that our existing sources of cash will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements, including cash requirements that may be due under existing debt obligations as well as amounts due to our vendors in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred a net loss of $ 2,736,494 26,543,992 We intend to seek substantial sources of liquidity. In addition, management has implemented plans to improve liquidity through cash flows generated from development of new business initiatives within the energy & n atural A fundamental principle of the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is the assumption that an entity will continue in existence as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities occurring in the ordinary course of business. This principle is applicable to all entities except for entities in liquidation or entities for which liquidation appears imminent. In accordance with this requirement, our policy is to prepare our consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis unless we intend to liquidate or have no other alternative but to liquidate. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not reflect any adjustments that might specifically result from the outcome of this uncertainty. On May 4, 2012, (the “Closing Date”), we entered into an agreement with a third party, FDF Resources Holdings LLC (the” Purchaser”), which resulted in the sale of 100 62.5 6,250,000 2,986,154 On May 4, 2015 a final claim of $ 60,000 2,926,204 173,479 2,752,725 2,356,331 The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to proved reserves; the value of properties and equipment; goodwill; intangible assets; asset retirement obligations; litigation liabilities; environmental liabilities; pension assets, liabilities, and costs; income taxes; and fair values. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ from these estimates. Basic earnings per share amounts have been computed based on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive share-based instruments were exercised.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY	NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Warrants The fair value of our warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation. The expected term of each warrant is estimated based on the contractual term or an expected time-to-liquidity event. The volatility assumption is estimated based on expectations of volatility over the term of the warrant as indicated by implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for a term commensurate with the expected term of the warrant.

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Financial Instruments Disclosure [Text Block]	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable, derivative liabilities, and long-term debt. Because of their short maturity, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value. The carrying value of certain long-term debt instruments approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of interest. Additional non-interest bearing long-term instruments have been reduced by a market interest rate. They approximate fair value as a result of this imputed interest. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We utilize a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable. • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. • Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances. As discussed in Note 3, we consider the warrants issued to the holders of the Company’s 13% Secured Notes and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be derivatives, and, as a result, the fair value of the derivative liabilities are reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We value the derivative liabilities using a Monte Carlo simulation, which contains significant unobservable, or Level 3, inputs. The use of valuation techniques requires us to make various key assumptions for inputs into the model, including assumptions about the expected behavior of the instruments’ holders and expected future volatility of the price of our common stock. At certain common stock price points within the Monte Carlo simulation, we assume holders of the instruments will convert into shares of our common stock.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. These financial statements include the accounts of Sable and entities in which it holds a controlling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year classification. The interim financial data as of June 30, 2015 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is unaudited; in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Due to time and financial constraints, this report has not been reviewed by our independent auditors.
Liquidity [Policy Text Block]	We cannot be certain that our existing sources of cash will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements, including cash requirements that may be due under existing debt obligations as well as amounts due to our vendors in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred a net loss of $ 2,736,494 26,543,992 We intend to seek substantial sources of liquidity. In addition, management has implemented plans to improve liquidity through cash flows generated from development of new business initiatives within the energy & n atural A fundamental principle of the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is the assumption that an entity will continue in existence as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities occurring in the ordinary course of business. This principle is applicable to all entities except for entities in liquidation or entities for which liquidation appears imminent. In accordance with this requirement, our policy is to prepare our consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis unless we intend to liquidate or have no other alternative but to liquidate. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not reflect any adjustments that might specifically result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Restricted cash On May 4, 2012, (the “Closing Date”), we entered into an agreement with a third party, FDF Resources Holdings LLC (the” Purchaser”), which resulted in the sale of 100 62.5 6,250,000 2,986,154 On May 4, 2015 a final claim of $ 60,000 2,926,204 173,479 2,752,725 2,356,331
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to proved reserves; the value of properties and equipment; goodwill; intangible assets; asset retirement obligations; litigation liabilities; environmental liabilities; pension assets, liabilities, and costs; income taxes; and fair values. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ from these estimates.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per share amounts have been computed based on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive share-based instruments were exercised.
