Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation, Spin-off and Nature of Business	Basis of Presentation and Spin-off Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes present the financial position of Seventy Seven Energy Inc. (“SSE,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “ours”) as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 . These notes relate to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (the “Current Quarter” and “Current Period,” respectively) and the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 (the “Prior Quarter” and “Prior Period,” respectively). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions within SSE have been eliminated. Seventy Seven Finance Inc. (“SSF”) is a 100% owned finance subsidiary of SSE that was incorporated for the purpose of facilitating the offering of SSE’s 2019 Notes (see Note 6). SSF does not have any operations or revenues. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. All material adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been reflected. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been appropriately condensed or omitted. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (Commission File No. 001-36354) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2015. Spin-off On June 9, 2014, Chesapeake Energy Corporation (“CHK”) announced that its board of directors approved the spin-off of its oilfield services division through the pro rata distribution of 100% of the shares of common stock of SSE to CHK’s shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 19, 2014. On June 30, 2014, each CHK shareholder received one share of SSE common stock for every fourteen shares of CHK common stock held by such shareholder on the record date, and SSE became an independent, publicly traded company as a result of the distribution. The transactions in which SSE became an independent, publicly traded company, including the distribution, are referred to collectively as the “spin-off”. Prior to the spin-off, we conducted our business as Chesapeake Oilfield Operating, L.L.C. (“COO”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CHK. Following the spin-off, CHK retained no ownership interest in SSE, and each company has separate public ownership, boards of directors and management. A registration statement on Form 10, as amended through the time of its effectiveness, describing the spin-off was filed by SSE with the SEC and was declared effective on June 17, 2014. On July 1, 2014, SSE stock began trading the “regular-way” on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol of “SSE”. For a detailed description of the transactions completed and agreements entered into as part of the spin-off, please read Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Sale of Hodges Trucking Company, L.L.C.	Sale of Hodges Trucking Company, L.L.C. On June 14, 2015, we sold Hodges Trucking Company, L.L.C. (“Hodges”), our previously wholly-owned subsidiary that provided drilling rig relocation and logistics services, to Aveda Transportation and Energy Services Inc. (“Aveda”) for aggregate consideration of $42.0 million . At the time of the sale, Hodges owned 270 rig relocation trucks and 65 cranes and forklifts. The sale did not include the land and buildings used in Hodges’ operations. The consideration received consisted of $15.0 million in cash and a $27.0 million secured promissory note due June 15, 2020 (the “Note Receivable”). The Note Receivable bears a fixed interest rate of 9.00% per annum, which is payable quarterly in arrears beginning on June 30, 2015 . Aveda can, at any time, make prepayments of principal before the maturity date without premium or penalty. The Note Receivable is secured by a second lien on substantially all of Aveda’s fixed assets and accounts receivable. The Note Receivable is presented in other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the Current Quarter, we recognized interest income of $0.1 million related to the Note Receivable. We recognized a loss of $35.0 million on the sale of Hodges during the Current Quarter. Additionally, during the Current Quarter, we recognized $2.1 million of additional stock-based compensation expense related to the vesting of restricted stock held by Hodges employees and $0.6 million of severance-related costs. Hodges was included in our oilfield trucking segment. The sale of Hodges did not qualify as discontinued operations because the sale did not represent a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Change in Accounting Estimate	Change in Accounting Estimate We review the estimated useful lives of our property and equipment on an ongoing basis. Based on this review in the first quarter of 2015, we concluded that the estimated useful lives of certain drilling rig components and certain drilling rigs were shorter than the estimated useful lives used for depreciation in our consolidated financial statements. As a result, effective January 1, 2015, we changed our estimate of the useful lives of these components and the drilling rigs to better reflect the estimated periods during which these drilling rig components and drilling rigs will remain in service. The effect of the drilling rig component change in estimate resulted in an increase to depreciation expense of $10.9 million , pre-tax, during the Current Period. The effect of the change in estimate of certain drilling rigs was an increase of $1.1 million and $2.2 million , pre-tax, to depreciation expense during the Current Quarter and Current Period, respectively. For the Current Quarter and the Current Period, these changes increased our net loss by $0.7 million and $8.6 million , respectively, and increased our basic and diluted loss per share by $0.01 and $0.18 , respectively.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2015
Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and includes the effect of any participating securities as appropriate. Participating securities consist of unvested restricted stock issued to our employees and non-employee directors that provide nonforfeitable dividend rights and are required to be included in the computation of our basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share, plus the dilutive effect of stock options. The dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock and stock options is determined using the treasury stock method, which assumes the amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation awards is used to repurchase shares at the average market price for the period.

For comparative purposes, and to provide a more meaningful calculation for weighted average shares, we have assumed this amount to be outstanding for periods prior to the spin-off presented in the calculation of weighted average shares. (b) 3,863,324 and 2,296,081 unvested restricted shares were excluded from the computation of basic earnings per share for the Current Quarter and Current Period, respectively, as these shares are not obligated to participate in our losses. (c) The exercise price of stock options exceeded the average market price of our common stock during the Current Quarter and Current Period. Therefore, the stock options were not dilutive.

Asset Sales, Assets Held for Sale and Impairments [Abstract]
Asset Sales and Impairments and Other	Asset Sales and Impairments and Other Asset Sales During the Current Quarter, we sold our water hauling assets, which consisted of property and equipment that had a total carrying amount of $12.3 million , for $6.5 million . During the Prior Period, we sold 15 drilling rigs and ancillary equipment that were not being utilized in our business for $13.7 million , net of selling expenses. During the Prior Period, we sold our crude hauling assets, which included 124 fluid handling trucks and 122 trailers that had a total carrying amount of $20.7 million , for $43.8 million . During the Current Period and Prior Period, we sold other ancillary equipment for $9.9 million and $3.4 million , respectively. We recorded net losses (gains) on sales of property and equipment of approximately $13.2 million and ($8.0) million related to these asset sales during the Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. Impairments and Other A summary of our impairments and other is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 (In thousands) Drilling rigs held for use $ — $ 2,940 $ 3,290 $ 8,366 Drilling rigs held for sale — — — 5,714 Lease termination costs — 70 — 8,449 Drilling-related services equipment 8,687 — 8,687 — Trucking and fluid disposal equipment 195 — 2,737 — Other — 162 440 451 Total impairments and other $ 8,882 $ 3,172 $ 15,154 $ 22,980 We recognized impairment charges of $8.7 million during the Current Quarter for drilling-related services equipment that we deemed to be impaired based on expected future cash flows of this equipment. Estimated fair values for drilling-related services equipment were determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) based on a market approach. We recognized $2.9 million , $3.3 million and $8.4 million of impairment charges during the Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively, for certain drilling rigs that we deemed to be impaired based on our assessment of future demand and the suitability of the identified rigs in light of this demand. Estimated fair value for these drilling rigs was determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) based on a market approach. We recognized $0.2 million and $2.7 million of impairment charges during the Current Quarter and Current Period, respectively, for certain trucking and fluid disposal equipment that we deemed impaired based on expected future cash flows of this equipment. Estimated fair value for the trucking and fluid disposal equipment was determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) based on an income approach. We recognized $5.7 million of impairment charges during the Prior Period for certain drilling rigs and spare equipment we had identified to sell as part of our broader strategy to divest of non-essential drilling rigs. We are required to present such assets at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less the anticipated costs to sell at the time that they met the criteria for held-for-sale accounting. Estimated fair value was based on the expected sales price, less costs to sell. During the Prior Quarter and the Prior Period, we purchased 11 and 31 of our leased drilling rigs for approximately $54.1 million and $131.0 million , respectively, and paid lease termination costs of approximately $0.1 million and $8.4 million , respectively. We subsequently sold eight of these drilling rigs. We identified certain other property and equipment during the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period, and Prior Period that we deemed to be impaired based on our assessment of the market value and expected future cash flows of the long-lived asset. We recorded impairment charges of $0.2 million , $0.4 million and $0.5 million during the Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively, related to these assets. Estimated fair value for this property and equipment was determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) based on an income approach. The assumptions used in the impairment evaluation for long-lived assets are inherently uncertain and require management’s judgment. A prolonged period of low oil and natural gas prices or continued reductions in capital expenditures by CHK or our other customers would likely have an adverse impact on our utilization and the prices that we receive for our services. This could result in the recognition of future material impairment charges on the same, or additional, property and equipment if future cash flow estimates, based upon information then available to management, indicate that their carrying values are not be recoverable.

The 2019 Notes will mature on November 15, 2019 and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2019 Notes are guaranteed by all of our existing subsidiaries, other than certain immaterial subsidiaries and SSF, which is a co-issuer of the 2019 Notes. Prior to November 15, 2015, we may redeem some or all of the 2019 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium determined pursuant to a formula set forth in the indenture governing the 2019 Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On or after November 15, 2015, we may redeem all or part of the 2019 Senior Notes at the following prices (as a percentage of principal), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on November 15 of the years indicated below: Year Redemption Price 2015 103.313 % 2016 101.656 % 2017 and thereafter 100.000 % The 2019 Notes are subject to covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to: (1) sell assets; (2) declare dividends or make distributions on our equity interests or purchase or redeem our equity interests; (3) make investments or other specified restricted payments; (4) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness and issue disqualified or preferred equity; (5) create or incur certain liens; (6) enter into agreements that restrict the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends, make intercompany loans or transfer assets to us; (7) effect a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets; (8) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (9) designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The 2019 Senior Notes also have cross default provisions that apply to other indebtedness of SSE and any of its guarantor subsidiaries. If the 2019 Senior Notes achieve an investment grade rating from either Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”), our obligation to comply with certain of these covenants will be suspended, and if the 2019 Senior Notes achieve an investment grade rating from both Moody’s and S&P, then all such covenants will terminate. 2022 Senior Notes In June 2014, we issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). The 2022 Notes will mature on July 15, 2022 and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on July 15 and January 15 of each year. Prior to the full repayment or refinancing of the 2019 Notes, the 2022 Notes will become fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our domestic subsidiaries, if any, that has outstanding indebtedness or guarantees in an aggregate principal amount greater than $15.0 million , other than (i) guarantors of the 2019 Notes, (ii) Seventy Seven Operating LLC (“SSO”) or (iii) subsidiaries of SSO. We do not have any such subsidiaries currently; therefore, the 2022 Notes are not guaranteed. Upon the full repayment of the 2019 Notes, the 2022 Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our domestic subsidiaries that has outstanding indebtedness or guarantees in an aggregate principal amount greater than $15.0 million . We may redeem up to 35% of the 2022 Notes with proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.5% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest prior to July 15, 2017, subject to certain conditions. Prior to July 15, 2017, we may redeem some or all of the 2022 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium determined pursuant to a formula set forth in the indenture governing the 2022 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On or after July 15, 2017, we may redeem all or part of the 2022 Notes at the following prices (as a percentage of principal), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on July 15 of the years indicated below: Year Redemption Price 2017 104.875 % 2018 103.250 % 2019 101.625 % 2020 and thereafter 100.000 % The 2022 Notes are subject to covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to: (1) sell assets; (2) declare dividends or make distributions on our equity interests or purchase or redeem our equity interests; (3) make investments or other specified restricted payments; (4) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness and issue disqualified or preferred equity; (5) create or incur certain liens; (6) enter into agreements that restrict the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends, make intercompany loans or transfer assets to us; (7) effect a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets; (8) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (9) designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The 2022 Notes also have cross default provisions that apply to other indebtedness of SSE and certain of our subsidiaries. If the 2022 Notes achieve an investment grade rating from either Moody’s or S&P, our obligation to comply with certain of these covenants will be suspended, and if the 2022 Notes achieve an investment grade rating from both Moody’s and S&P, then all such covenants will terminate. During the Current Quarter, we repurchased and cancelled $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes in multiple transactions for $26.4 million . We recognized gains on extinguishment of debt of $13.1 million , which included the amortization of unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.5 million . Term Loans In June 2014, we entered into a $400.0 million seven -year term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan”). Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at our option at either (i) the Base Rate, calculated as the greatest of (1) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) a one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate adjusted daily plus 1.00% or (ii) LIBOR, with a floor of 0.75% , plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings is 2.00% for Base Rate loans and 3.00% for LIBOR loans, depending on whether the Base Rate or LIBOR is used, provided that if and for so long as the leverage ratio is less than a certain level and the term loans have certain ratings from each of S&P and Moody’s, such margins will be reduced by 0.25% . The Term Loan is repayable in equal consecutive quarterly installments equal to 0.25% ( 1.00% per annum) of the original principal amount of the Term Loan and will mature in full on June 25, 2021 . Obligations under the Term Loan are guaranteed jointly and severally by all of our present and future direct and indirect wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries. Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan are secured by liens on all of our equity interests in our current and future subsidiaries, and all of our subsidiaries’ present and future real property, equipment (including drilling rigs and frac spread equipment), fixtures and other fixed assets. We may prepay all or a portion of our Term Loan at any time, subject to a 1.00% principal premium on the repayment of principal pursuant to a refinancing within six months after the closing date. Borrowings under our Term Loan may be subject to mandatory prepayments with the net cash proceeds of certain issuances of debt, certain asset sales and other dispositions and certain condemnation events, and with excess cash flow in any calendar year in which our leverage ratio exceeds 3.25 to 1.00. The Term Loan contains various covenants and restrictive provisions which limit our ability to (1) enter into asset sales; (2) incur additional indebtedness; (3) make investments or loans and create liens; (4) pay certain dividends or make other distributions and (5) engage in transactions with affiliates. On May 13, 2015, we entered into an incremental term supplement to the Term Loan and borrowed $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount (the “Incremental Term Loan”) and received net proceeds of $94.5 million . Borrowings under the Incremental Term Loan bear interest at our option at either (i) LIBOR, with a floor of 1.00% or (ii) the Base Rate, calculated as the greatest of (1) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) a one-month LIBOR rate adjusted daily plus 1.00% , plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings is 9.00% for LIBOR loans and 8.00% for Base Rate loans, depending on whether the Base Rate or LIBOR is used. The Incremental Term Loan is payable in equal consecutive quarterly installments equal to 0.25% ( 1.00% per annum) of the original principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan and will mature in full on June 25, 2021 . Obligations under the Incremental Term Loan are guaranteed jointly and severally by all of our present and future direct and indirect wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries. Amounts borrowed under the Incremental Term Loan are secured by liens on all of our equity interests in our current and future subsidiaries, and all of our subsidiaries’ present and future real property, equipment (including drilling rigs and frac spread equipment), fixtures and other fixed assets. We may prepay all or a portion of our Incremental Term Loan at any time. Borrowings under our Incremental Term Loan may be subject to mandatory prepayments with the net cash proceeds of certain issuances of debt, certain asset sales and other dispositions and certain condemnation events, and with excess cash flow in any calendar year in which our leverage ratio exceeds 3.25 to 1.00. The Incremental Term Loan contains various covenants and restrictive provisions which limit our ability to (1) enter into asset sales; (2) incur additional indebtedness; (3) make investments or loans and create liens; (4) pay certain dividends or make other distributions and (5) engage in transactions with affiliates. All prepayments of the Incremental Term Loan, except for mandatory prepayments described above, if made on or prior to the 42 -month anniversary of the Incremental Term Loan, are subject to a prepayment premium equal to (i) a make-whole premium determined pursuant to a formula set forth in the Incremental Term Loan if made on or prior to the 18 -month anniversary of the Incremental Term Loan, (ii) 5.00% of such principal amount if made after the 18 -month anniversary and on or prior to the 30 -month anniversary of the Incremental Term Loan, or (iii) 3.00% of such principal amount if made after the 30 -month anniversary and on or prior to the 42 -month anniversary of the Incremental Term Loan. Credit Facility In June 2014, we, through SSO, entered into a five -year senior secured revolving bank credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with total commitments of $275.0 million . The maximum amount that we may borrow under the Credit Facility is subject to the borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, subject to reserves and other adjustments. As of June 30, 2015 , the Credit Facility had availability of $264.8 million , net of letters of credit of $10.2 million . All obligations under the Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by SSE, and all of our present and future direct and indirect material domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by liens on cash and accounts receivable of the borrowers and the guarantors, and bear interest at our option at either (i) the Base Rate, calculated as the greatest of (1) the rate of interest publicly announced by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as its “prime rate,” subject to each increase or decrease in such prime rate effective as of the date such change occurs, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (3) the one-month LIBOR Rate plus 1.00% , each of which is subject to an applicable margin, or (ii) LIBOR, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 0.50% to 1.00% per annum for Base Rate loans and 1.50% to 2.00% per annum for LIBOR loans. The unused portion of the Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee that varies from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum, according to average unused amounts. Interest on LIBOR loans is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly. Interest on Base Rate loans is payable monthly in arrears. The Credit Facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions which limit our ability to (1) enter into asset sales; (2) incur additional indebtedness; (3) make investments or loans and create liens; (4) pay certain dividends or make other distributions and (5) engage in transactions with affiliates. The Credit Facility requires maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio based on the ratio of consolidated EBITDA (minus unfinanced capital expenditures) to fixed charges, in each case as defined in the Credit Facility agreement, at any time availability is below a certain threshold and for a certain period of time thereafter. If we fail to perform our obligations under the agreement, the Credit Facility could be terminated and any outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable. The Credit Facility also contains cross default provisions that apply to our other indebtedness.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases As of June 30, 2015 , we were party to five lease agreements with various third parties to lease rail cars for initial terms of five to seven years . Additional rental payments are required for the use of rail cars in excess of the allowable mileage stated in the respective agreement. As of June 30, 2015 , we were also party to various lease agreements for other property and equipment with varying terms. Aggregate undiscounted minimum future lease payments under our operating leases at June 30, 2015 are presented below: Rail Cars Other Total (In thousands) Remainder of 2015 $ 2,723 $ 1,029 $ 3,752 2016 5,447 984 6,431 2017 2,168 426 2,594 2018 1,445 170 1,615 2019 722 3 725 Total $ 12,505 $ 2,612 $ 15,117 Rent expense for drilling rigs, real property, rail cars and other property and equipment for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period was $2.2 million , $12.6 million , $4.1 million and $27.6 million , respectively, and was included in operating costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other Commitments Much of the equipment we purchase requires long production lead times. As a result, we usually have outstanding orders and commitments for such equipment. As of June 30, 2015 , we had $141.8 million of purchase commitments related to future capital expenditures that we expect to incur in the second half of 2015 and 2016 . Litigation We are involved in various lawsuits and disputes incidental to our business operations, including commercial disputes, personal injury claims, property damage claims and contract actions. We record an associated liability when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. Although the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management is of the opinion that no pending or threatened lawsuit or dispute incidental to our business operations is likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The final resolution of such matters could exceed amounts accrued and actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates. Self-Insured Reserves We are self-insured up to certain retention limits with respect to workers’ compensation and general liability matters. We maintain accruals for self-insurance retentions that we estimate using third-party data and claims history. Included in operating costs is workers’ compensation expense of $2.2 million , $2.7 million , $4.8 million and $5.1 million during the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Our stock-based compensation program consists of restricted stock available to employees and stock options. The restricted stock awards and stock options are equity-classified awards. We also recognize compensation expense (benefit) related to performance share units granted by CHK to our chief executive officer. Included in operating costs and general and administrative expenses is stock-based compensation expense (credit) of $10.1 million , ($8.2) million , $22.6 million and ($5.0) million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. Prior to the spin-off, we reimbursed CHK for these costs in accordance with the administrative services agreement. To the extent compensation cost related to employees indirectly involved in oilfield services operations, such amounts were charged to us through an overhead allocation and are reflected as general and administrative expenses. Equity-Classified Awards Restricted Stock . The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the fair market value of SSE common shares on the date of the grant. This value is amortized over the vesting period. A summary of the status and changes of unvested shares of restricted stock is presented below. Number of Unvested Restricted Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value (In thousands) Unvested shares as of January 1, 2015 3,933 $ 24.02 Granted 4,003 $ 4.58 Vested (714 ) $ 19.69 Forfeited (293 ) $ 21.51 Unvested shares as of June 30, 2015 6,929 $ 13.34 The aggregate intrinsic value of restricted stock vested for the Current Quarter, as reflected in the table above, was approximately $4.7 million based on the market price of SSE’s common stock at the time of vesting. As of June 30, 2015 , there was $59.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested restricted stock. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 31 months . Stock Options . CHK granted stock options to our chief executive officer under CHK’s Long-Term Incentive Plan for incentive and retention purposes. The incentive-based stock options vest ratably over a three -year period and our retention-based stock options will vest one-third on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date of the original CHK award, in the case of a replacement award. Outstanding options expire ten years from the date of grant of the original CHK award, in the case of a replacement award. We have not issued any new stock options, other than the replacement awards, since the spin-off. The following table provides information related to stock option activity for the Current Quarter: Number of Shares Underlying Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Weighted Average Contract Life in Years Aggregate Intrinsic Value (a) (in thousands) (in thousands) Outstanding at January 1, 2015 348 $ 16.19 9.24 $ — Granted — $ — — $ — Exercised — $ — — $ — Outstanding at June 30, 2015 348 $ 16.19 7.74 $ — Exercisable at June 30, 2015 89 $ 16.46 7.78 $ — (a) The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the current market value or the market value upon exercise of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. As of June 30, 2015 , there was $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 17 months . Other Performance Share Units . CHK granted performance share units (“PSUs”) to our chief executive officer under CHK’s Long-Term Incentive Plan that includes both an internal performance measure and external market condition as it relates to CHK. Following the spin-off, compensation expense is recognized through the changes in fair value of the PSUs over the vesting period with a corresponding adjustment to equity and any related cash obligations are the responsibility of CHK. We recognized (credits) expenses of ($0.4) million , ($1.2) million and $0.1 million for the Current Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Through the effective date of the spin-off, our operations were included in the consolidated federal income tax return and other state returns for CHK. The income tax provision for the period before the spin-off has been prepared on a separate return basis for us and all of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, we have recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases for all our subsidiaries as if each entity were a corporation, regardless of its actual characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our effective tax rate was 35% , 39% , 34% and 51% for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. Our effective tax rate can fluctuate as a result of the impact of state income taxes, permanent differences and changes in pre-tax income. Effective with the spin-off, we entered into a tax sharing agreement with CHK which governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of each company, for tax periods prior to the spin-off, with respect to the payment of taxes, filing of tax returns, reimbursement of taxes, control of audits and other tax proceedings, liability for taxes that may be triggered as a result of the spin-off and other matters regarding taxes. Following the spin-off, we are not entitled to federal income tax net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards that were generated prior to the spin-off and that have historically been reflected in our net deferred income tax liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. As of the spin-off date, we made an adjustment to our deferred tax liabilities of approximately $178.8 million to reflect the treatment of NOLs under the tax sharing agreement. In connection with the spin-off, we received a one-time step-up in tax basis of our assets due to the tax gain recognized by CHK related to the spin-off in the tax affected amount of approximately $202.6 million . A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including NOLs, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, we use estimates and judgment regarding our future taxable income, as well as the jurisdiction in which such taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence can include our current financial position, our results of operations, both actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies as well as the current and forecasted business economics of our industry. We had no valuation allowance at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . However, some or all of these NOLs could expire unused if we are unable to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize them or we enter into transactions that limit our right to use them. If it became more-likely-than-not NOLs would expire unused, we would have to record a valuation allowance to reflect this fact, which could materially increase our income tax expense, and therefore, adversely affect our results of operations in the period in which it is recorded. We will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance in the future. The benefit of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return is recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions would be recorded in interest expense and other expense, respectively. There were no uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 .

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity Method Investment	Equity Method Investment We own 49% of the membership interest in Maalt Specialized Bulk, L.L.C. (“Maalt”). We use the equity method of accounting to account for our investment in Maalt, which had a carrying value of $9.0 million as of June 30, 2015 . We recorded equity method adjustments to our investment of $0.1 million , a nominal amount, $1.1 million and ($0.9) million for our share of Maalt’s income (loss) for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. We also made additional investments of $0.1 million and $0.1 million in the Current Period and Prior Period, respectively. As of June 30, 2015 , the carrying value of our investment in Maalt is in excess of the underlying equity in Maalt’s net assets by approximately $8.3 million . This excess is attributable to goodwill recorded on Maalt’s financial statements and is not being amortized. We review our equity method investment for impairment whenever certain impairment indicators exist including the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment. A loss in value of an investment which is other than a temporary decline should be recognized. We estimated that the fair value of our investment in Maalt was approximately $7.9 million as of June 30, 2014, which was below the carrying value of the investment and resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $4.5 million in the Prior Quarter, which is included in loss from equity investees on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Estimated fair value for our investment in Maalt was determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) based on an income approach.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The fair value measurement standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (referred to as an “exit price”). Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures clarifies that a fair value measurement for a liability should reflect the entity’s non-performance risk. In addition, a fair value hierarchy is established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 - Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources. Fair Value on Recurring Basis The carrying values of cash, trade receivables and trade payables are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Fair Value on Non-Recurring Basis Fair value measurements were applied with respect to our non-financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis, which consist primarily of long-lived asset impairments based on Level 3 inputs. See Note 5 for additional discussion. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The fair values of the Note Receivable and our debt are the estimated amounts a market participant would have to pay to purchase the Note Receivable or our debt, including any premium or discount attributable to the difference between the stated interest rate and market rate of interest at the balance sheet date. Fair values are based on quoted market prices or average valuations of similar debt instruments at the balance sheet date for those debt instruments for which quoted market prices are not available. Estimated fair values are determined by using available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers	Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables. Accounts receivable from CHK and its affiliates were $177.5 million and $326.7 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , or 68% and 77% , respectively, of our total accounts receivable. Revenues from CHK and its affiliates were $203.2 million , $447.1 million , $520.5 million and $877.9 million for the Current Quarter, Prior Quarter, Current Period, and Prior Period, or 69% , 81% , 72% and 83% , respectively, of our total revenues. We believe that the loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on our operating results as there can be no assurance that replacement customers would be identified and accessed in a timely fashion. See Note 14 for further discussion of agreements entered into as part of the spin-off, including a new services agreement and rig-specific daywork drilling contracts.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Transactions with Chesapeake	Transactions with CHK Prior to the completion of our spin-off on June 30, 2014, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of CHK, and transactions between us and CHK (including its subsidiaries) were considered to be transactions with affiliates. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, CHK and its subsidiaries are not considered affiliates of us or any of our subsidiaries. We have disclosed below agreements entered into between us and CHK prior to the completion of our spin-off. On June 25, 2014, we entered into a master separation agreement and several other agreements with CHK as part of the spin-off. The master separation agreement entered into between CHK and us governs the separation of our businesses from CHK, the distribution of our shares to CHK shareholders and other matters related to CHK’s relationship with us, including cross-indemnities between us and CHK. In general, CHK agreed to indemnify us for any liabilities relating to CHK’s business and we agreed to indemnify CHK for any liabilities relating to our business. On June 25, 2014, we entered into a tax sharing agreement with CHK, which governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of CHK and us with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings, and certain other matters regarding taxes. On June 25, 2014, we entered into an employee matters agreement with CHK providing that each company has responsibility for our own employees and compensation plans. The agreement also contains provisions concerning benefit protection for both SSE and CHK employees, treatment of holders of CHK stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share units, and cooperation between us and CHK in the sharing of employee information and maintenance of confidentiality. On June 25, 2014, we entered into a transition services agreement with CHK under which CHK provides or makes available to us various administrative services and assets for specified periods beginning on the distribution date. In consideration for such services, we pay CHK fees, a portion of which is a flat fee, generally in amounts intended to allow CHK to recover all of its direct and indirect costs incurred in providing those services. These charges from CHK were $2.7 million and $8.3 million for the Current Quarter and Current Period, respectively. This agreement was terminated during the Current Quarter. We are party to a master services agreement with CHK pursuant to which we provide drilling and other services and supply materials and equipment to CHK. Drilling services are typically provided pursuant to rig-specific daywork drilling contracts similar to those we use for other customers. The specific terms of each request for other services are typically set forth in a field ticket, purchase order or work order. The master services agreement contains general terms and provisions, including minimum insurance coverage amounts that we are required to maintain and confidentiality obligations with respect to CHK’s business, and allocates certain operational risks between CHK and us through indemnity provisions. The master services agreement will remain in effect until we or CHK provides 30 days written notice of termination, although such agreement may not be terminated during the term of the services agreement described below. Prior to the spin-off, we were party to a services agreement with CHK under which CHK guaranteed the utilization of a portion of our drilling rig and hydraulic fracturing fleets during the term of the agreement. In connection with the spin-off, we entered into new services agreements with CHK which supplements the master services agreement. Under the new services agreement, CHK is required to utilize the lesser of (i) seven , five and three of our pressure pumping crews in years one , two and three of the agreement, respectively, or (ii) 50% of the total number of all pressure pumping crews working for CHK in all its operating regions during the respective year. CHK is required to utilize our pressure pumping services for a minimum number of stages as set forth in the agreement. CHK is entitled to terminate the agreement in certain situations, including in the event we fail to materially comply with the overall quality of service provided by similar service providers. Additionally, CHK’s requirement to utilize our services may be suspended under certain circumstances, such as if we are unable to timely accept and supply services ordered by CHK or as a result of a force majeure event. In connection with the spin-off, we entered into rig-specific daywork drilling contracts with CHK for the provision of drilling services. The drilling agreements have a commencement date of July 1, 2014 and a term ranging from three months to three years. CHK has the right to terminate the drilling agreements under certain circumstances. Prior to the spin-off, we were party to a facilities lease agreement with CHK pursuant to which we leased a number of the storage yards and physical facilities out of which we conduct our operations. We incurred $4.1 million and $8.2 million of lease expense for the Prior Quarter and Prior Period, respectively, under this facilities lease agreement. In connection with the spin-off, we acquired the property subject to the facilities lease agreement, and the facilities lease agreement was terminated. Prior to the spin-off, CHK provided us with general and administrative services and the services of its employees pursuant to an administrative services agreement. These services included legal, accounting, treasury, environmental, safety, information technology and other corporate services. In return for the general and administrative services provided by CHK, we reimbursed CHK on a monthly basis for the overhead expenses incurred by CHK on our behalf in accordance with its allocation policy, which included costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of any of the services under the agreement, including the wages and benefits of CHK employees who perform services on our behalf. The administrative expense allocation was determined by multiplying revenues by a percentage determined by CHK based on the historical average of costs incurred on our behalf. All of the administrative cost allocations were based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable; however, these allocations are not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses that would have resulted if we had been operating as a stand-alone entity. These charges from CHK were $14.0 million and $26.8 million for the Prior Quarter and Prior Period, respectively. In connection with the spin-off, we terminated the administrative services agreement and entered into the transition services agreement.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information As of June 30, 2015, our revenues, income (loss) before income taxes and identifiable assets are primarily attributable to three reportable segments. During the Current Quarter, we sold the remaining business and assets included in the oilfield trucking segment. Our former oilfield trucking segment’s historical results for periods prior to the sales continue to be included in our historical financial results as a component of continuing operations as reflected in the tables below. Each of these segments represents a distinct type of business. These segments have separate management teams which report to our chief operating decision maker. The results of operations in these segments are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of determining resource allocation and assessing performance. Management evaluates the performance of our segments based upon earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization. The following is a description of our segments and other operations: Drilling . Our drilling segment provides land drilling and drilling-related services, including directional drilling for oil and natural gas exploration and development activities. As of June 30, 2015 , we owned a fleet of 90 land drilling rigs. Hydraulic Fracturing . Our hydraulic fracturing segment provides hydraulic fracturing and other well stimulation services. As of June 30, 2015 , we owned 10 hydraulic fracturing fleets with an aggregate of 400,000 horsepower. Oilfield Rentals . Our oilfield rentals segment provides premium rental tools for land-based oil and natural gas drilling, completion and workover activities. Former Oilfield Trucking . Our oilfield trucking segment historically provided drilling rig relocation and logistics services as well as fluid handling services. During the Current Quarter, we sold Hodges, which provided drilling rig relocation and logistics services (see Note 2), and sold our water hauling assets. As part of the spin-off, we sold our crude hauling assets to a third party. Other Operations . Prior to the spin-off, our other operations consist primarily of our compression unit manufacturing business and corporate functions, including our 2019 Notes, 2022 Notes, Term Loans and Credit Facility. As part of the spin-off, we distributed our compression unit manufacturing business to CHK.

Condensed Financial Information of Parent Company Only Disclosure [Abstract]
Condensed Consolidating Financial Information	Condensed Consolidating Financial Information In October 2011, we issued and sold the 2019 Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million (see Note 6). In connection with the spin-off, COO transferred all of its assets, operations and liabilities, including the 2019 Notes, to SSO, which has been reflected retrospectively in the condensed consolidating financial information. Pursuant to the Indenture governing the 2019 Notes, such notes are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by SSO’s parent, SSE, and all of SSO’s subsidiaries, other than SSF, which is a co-issuer of the 2019 Notes, and certain immaterial subsidiaries. Each of the subsidiary guarantors is 100% owned by SSO and there are no material subsidiaries of SSO other than the subsidiary guarantors. SSF and Western Wisconsin Sand Company, LLC are minor non-guarantor subsidiaries whose condensed consolidating financial information is included with the subsidiary guarantors. SSE and SSO have independent assets and operations. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of SSO or any subsidiary guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements for SSE (“Parent”) and SSO (“Subsidiary Issuer”) on a stand-alone, unconsolidated basis, and their combined guarantor subsidiaries as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 .

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, “Interest—Imputation of Interest,” which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern,” which requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). ASU 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating what impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605),” and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as permission to early adopt the new revenue recognition standard as of the original effective date. The FASB plans to issue a final ASU to amend ASU 2014-09 by the end of the third quarter of 2015. We are currently evaluating what impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes present the financial position of Seventy Seven Energy Inc. (“SSE,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “ours”) as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 . These notes relate to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (the “Current Quarter” and “Current Period,” respectively) and the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 (the “Prior Quarter” and “Prior Period,” respectively). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions within SSE have been eliminated. Seventy Seven Finance Inc. (“SSF”) is a 100% owned finance subsidiary of SSE that was incorporated for the purpose of facilitating the offering of SSE’s 2019 Notes (see Note 6). SSF does not have any operations or revenues. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. All material adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been reflected. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been appropriately condensed or omitted. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (Commission File No. 001-36354) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2015. Spin-off On June 9, 2014, Chesapeake Energy Corporation (“CHK”) announced that its board of directors approved the spin-off of its oilfield services division through the pro rata distribution of 100% of the shares of common stock of SSE to CHK’s shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 19, 2014. On June 30, 2014, each CHK shareholder received one share of SSE common stock for every fourteen shares of CHK common stock held by such shareholder on the record date, and SSE became an independent, publicly traded company as a result of the distribution. The transactions in which SSE became an independent, publicly traded company, including the distribution, are referred to collectively as the “spin-off”. Prior to the spin-off, we conducted our business as Chesapeake Oilfield Operating, L.L.C. (“COO”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CHK. Following the spin-off, CHK retained no ownership interest in SSE, and each company has separate public ownership, boards of directors and management. A registration statement on Form 10, as amended through the time of its effectiveness, describing the spin-off was filed by SSE with the SEC and was declared effective on June 17, 2014. On July 1, 2014, SSE stock began trading the “regular-way” on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol of “SSE”. For a detailed description of the transactions completed and agreements entered into as part of the spin-off, please read Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(b) 3,863,324 and 2,296,081 unvested restricted shares were excluded from the computation of basic earnings per share for the Current Quarter and Current Period, respectively, as these shares are not obligated to participate in our losses. (c) The exercise price of stock options exceeded the average market price of our common stock during the Current Quarter and Current Period. Therefore, the stock options were not dilutive.
