GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION | 6 Months Ended |
Feb. 29, 2020 | |
General Information [Abstract] | |
GENERAL INFORMATION | 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Petroteq Energy Inc. (the “Company”) is an Ontario, Canada corporation which conducts oil sands mining and oil extraction operations in the USA. It operates through its indirectly wholly owned subsidiary company, Petroteq Oil Sands Recovery, LLC (“POSR”), which is engaged in mining and oil extraction from tar sands. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 6000, 1 First Canadian Place, 100 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1E2, Canada and its principal operating office is located at 15315 W. Magnolia Blvd, Suite 120, Sherman Oaks, California 91403, USA. POSR is engaged in a tar sands mining and oil processing operation, using a closed-loop solvent based extraction system that recovers bitumen from surface mining, and has completed the construction of an oil processing plant in the Asphalt Ridge area of Utah. In November 2017, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Petrobloq, LLC, to design and develop a blockchain-powered supply chain management platform for the oil and gas industry. On June 1, 2018, the Company finalized the acquisition of a 100% interest in two leases for 1,312 acres of land within the Asphalt Ridge, Utah area. On January 18, 2019, the Company paid $10,800,000 for the acquisition of 50% of the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases, administered by the U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) covering approximately 5,960 gross acres (2,980 net acres) within the State of Utah. The total consideration of $10,800,000 was settled by the payment of $1,800,000 and by the issuance of 15,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.60 per share. On July 22, 2019, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases, administered by the BLM covering approximately 5,960 gross acres (2,980 net acres) within the State of Utah for a total consideration of $13,000,000 settled by the issuance of 30,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.40 per share, and cash of $1,000,000, which has not been paid to date. Between March 14, 2019 and February 29, 2020, the Company made cash deposits of $1,907,000, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets for the acquisition of 100% of the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases, administered by the BLM in Garfield and Wayne Counties covering approximately 8,480 gross acres in P.R. Springs and the Tar Sands Triangle within the State of Utah. The total consideration of $3,000,000 has been partially settled by a cash payment of $1,907,000, with the balance of $1,093,000 still outstanding. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of preparation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting policies (“US GAAP”) and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities which are measured at fair value. The Company’s reporting currency and the functional currency of all of its operations is the U.S. dollar, as it is the principal currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which the Company considers necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended February 29, 2020 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire fiscal year. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Petroteq for the year ended August 31, 2019, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 16, 2019. All amounts referred to in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise. The Company is an “SEC Issuer” as defined under National Instrument 52-107 “Accounting Principles and Audit Standards” “Continuous Disclosure Obligations” The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on June 5, 2020. (b) Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries in which it has at least a majority voting interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The entities included in these consolidated financial statements are as follows: Entity % of Jurisdiction Petroteq Energy Inc. Parent Canada Petroteq Energy CA, Inc. 100% USA Petroteq Oil Sands Recovery, LLC 100% USA TMC Capital, LLC 100% USA Petrobloq, LLC 100% USA An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investment in associate is carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost as adjusted for changes in the Company’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of the investment. Losses of an associate in excess of the Company’s interest in that associate are not recognized. Additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payment on behalf of the associate. The Company had accounted for its investment in Accord GR Energy, Inc. (“Accord”) on the equity basis since March 1, 2017. The Company had previously owned a controlling interest in Accord and the results were consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. However, subsequent equity subscriptions into Accord reduced the Company’s ownership to 44.7% as of March 1, 2017 and the results of Accord were deconsolidated from that date. As of August 31, 2019, the Company has impaired 100% of the remaining investment in Accord due to inactivity and a lack of adequate investment in Accord to progress to commercial production and viability. (c) Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to recovery of long-lived assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to the Company’s reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the following; ● the useful lives and depreciation rates for intangible assets and property, plant and equipment; ● the carrying and fair value of oil and gas properties and product and equipment inventories; ● All provisions; ● the fair value of reporting units and the related assessment of goodwill for impairment, if applicable; ● the fair value of intangibles other than goodwill; ● income taxes and the recoverability of deferred tax assets ● legal and environmental risks and exposures; and ● general credit risks associated with receivables, if any. (d) Foreign currency translation adjustments The Company’s reporting currency and the functional currency of all its operations is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian parent company are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period. Income, expenses and cash flows are translated using an average exchange rate during the reporting period. Since the reporting currency as well as the functional currency of all entities is the U.S. Dollar there is no translation difference recorded. (e) Revenue recognition Impact of ASC 606 Adoption The Company recognizes revenue in terms of ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and includes a five-step revenue recognition model to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods or services. The five steps are as follows: i. identify the contract with a customer; ii. identify the performance obligations in the contract; iii. determine the transaction price; iv. allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and v. recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue from hydrocarbon sales Revenue from hydrocarbon sales include the sale of hydrocarbon products and are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, delivery has occurred, control has transferred and collectability of the revenue is probable. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. This occurs when control is transferred to the purchaser upon delivery of contract specified production volumes at a specified point. The transaction price used to recognize revenue is a function of the contract billing terms. Revenue is invoiced, if required, upon delivery based on volumes at contractually based rates with payment typically received within 30 days after invoice date. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities on hydrocarbon sales, if any, are not included in such revenues, but are presented separately in the consolidated comprehensive statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations The Company does not anticipate entering into long-term supply contracts, rather it expects all contracts to be short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. The Company intends applying the practical expedient in ASC 606 exempting the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. For contracts with terms greater than one year, the Company will apply the practical expedient in ASC 606 exempting the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if there is any variable consideration to be allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. The Company anticipates that with respect to the contracts it will enter into, each unit of product will typically represent a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. Contract balances The Company does not anticipate that it will receive cash relating to future performance obligations. However, if such cash is received, the revenue will be deferred and recognized when all revenue recognition criteria are met. Disaggregation of revenue The Company has limited revenues to date. Disaggregation of revenue disclosures can be found in Note 24. Customers The Company anticipates that it will have a limited number of customers which will make up the bulk of its revenues due to the nature of the oil and gas industry. (f) General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses will be presented net of any working interest owners, if any, of the oil and gas properties owned or leased by the Company. (g) Share-based payments The Company may grant stock options to directors, officers, employees and others providing similar services. The fair value of these stock options is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the options vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. The Company may also grant equity instruments to consultants and other parties in exchange for goods and services. Such instruments are measured at the fair value of the goods and services received on the date they are received and are recorded as share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in equity. If the fair value of the goods and services received are not reliably determinable, their fair value is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. (h) Income taxes The Company utilizes ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Accounting guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements, under which a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Accordingly, the Company would report a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company elects to recognize any interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. (i) Net income (loss) per share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for stock options and share purchase warrants. Under this method, “in-the-money” stock options and share purchase warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. (j) Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original contractual maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. (k) Accounts receivable The Company had minimal sales during the period and accounts receivable balances are minimal. (l) Oil and gas property and equipment The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. Exploration costs, such as exploratory geological and geophysical costs, and costs associated with delay rentals and exploration overhead are charged against earnings as incurred. Costs of successful exploratory efforts along with acquisition costs and the costs of development of surface mining sites are capitalized. Site development costs are initially capitalized, or suspended, pending the determination of proved reserves. If proved reserves are found, site development costs remain capitalized as proved properties. Costs of unsuccessful site developments are charged to exploration expense. For site development costs that find reserves that cannot be classified as proved when development is completed, costs continue to be capitalized as suspended exploratory site development costs if there have been sufficient reserves found to justify completion as a producing site and sufficient progress is being made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. If management determines that future appraisal development activities are unlikely to occur, associated suspended exploratory development costs are expensed. In some instances, this determination may take longer than one year. The Company reviews the status of all suspended exploratory site development costs quarterly. Capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties are depleted by an equivalent unit-of-production method. Proved leasehold acquisition costs, less accumulated amortization, are depleted over total proved reserves, which includes proved undeveloped reserves. Capitalized costs of related equipment and facilities, including estimated asset retirement costs, net of estimated salvage values and less accumulated amortization are depreciated over proved developed reserves associated with those capitalized costs. Depletion is calculated by applying the DD&A rate (amortizable base divided by beginning of period proved reserves) to current period production. Costs associated with unproved properties are excluded from the depletion calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. The Company assesses its unproved properties for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Proved properties will be assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes based on a common operating location. If there is an indication the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered, the asset is assessed for potential impairment by management through an established process. If, upon review, the sum of the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. Because there is usually a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of impaired assets is typically determined based on the present values of expected future cash flows using discount rates believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants or by comparable transactions. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are typically based on judgmental assessments of future production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, and capital investment plans, considering all available information at the date of review. Gains or losses are recorded for sales or dispositions of oil and gas properties which constitute an entire common operating field or which result in a significant alteration of the common operating field’s DD&A rate. These gains and losses are classified as asset dispositions in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Partial common operating field sales or dispositions deemed not to significantly alter the DD&A rates are generally accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized. The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred and attributable to material unproved oil and gas properties and major development projects of oil and gas properties. (m) Other property and equipment Depreciation and amortization of other property and equipment, including corporate and leasehold improvements, are provided using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. Interest costs incurred and attributable to major corporate construction projects are also capitalized. (n) Asset retirement obligations and environmental liabilities The Company recognizes liabilities for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, such as producing sites when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of such assets and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its fair value, with an offsetting asset retirement cost recorded as an increase to the associated property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. When the assumptions used to estimate a recorded asset retirement obligation change, a revision is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. The Company’s asset retirement obligations also include estimated environmental remediation costs which arise from normal operations and are associated with the retirement of such long-lived assets. The asset retirement cost is depreciated using a systematic and rational method similar to that used for the associated property and equipment. (o) Commitments and contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation or other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities for environmental remediation or restoration claims resulting from allegations of improper operation of assets are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Expenditures related to such environmental matters are expensed or capitalized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for property and equipment. (p) Fair value measurements Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This price is commonly referred to as the “exit price.” Fair value measurements are classified according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs underlying the valuation techniques. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 – Inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. When available, the Company measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. Level 2 – Inputs consist of quoted prices that are generally observable for the asset or liability. Common examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets not considered to be active. Level 3 – Inputs are not observable from objective sources and have the lowest priority. The most common Level 3 fair value measurement is an internally developed cash flow model. (q) Comparative amounts The comparative amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the presentation used in the current year. (r) Recent accounting standards Issued accounting standards not yet adopted The Company will evaluate the applicability of the following issued accounting standards and intends to adopt those which are applicable to its activities. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Effective September 1, 2019, the Company will adopt the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s standard, Leases (Topic 842), as amended. The standard requires all leases to be recorded on the balance sheet as a right of use asset and a lease liability. The Company intends to use a transition method that applies the new lease standard at September 1, 2019 and recognizes any cumulative effect adjustments to the opening balance of fiscal year 2020 retained earnings. The Company intends to apply a policy election to exclude short-term leases from balance sheet recognition and also intends to elect certain practical expedients at adoption. As permitted under these expedients the company will not reassess whether existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification for any existing leases, initial direct costs for any existing lease and whether existing land easements and rights of way, that were not previously accounted for as leases, are or contain a lease. The Company has certain capital leases that meet the requirements of this ASU. These leases have historically been treated in line with the requirements of ASU 2016-02, therefore no adjustment is required. The Company entered into a property operating lease during the current period whereby does not have any leases that meet the criteria currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) The Amendments in this update reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to accounting for income taxes and deferred taxes and simplifying the accounting treatment of franchise taxes, a step up in the tax basis of goodwill as part of business combinations, the allocation of current and deferred tax to a legal entity not subject to tax in its own financial statements, reflecting changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective rate in interim periods that include the enactment date and minor codification improvements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The effects of this ASU on the Company's financial statements is not considered to be material. The FASB issued several updates during the period, none of these standards are either applicable to the Company or require adoption at a future date and none are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. |

ADVANCED ROYALTY PAYMENTS | 7. ADVANCED ROYALTY PAYMENTS Advance royalty payments to Asphalt Ridge, Inc. During the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company acquired TMC Capital, LLC, which has a mining and mineral lease with Asphalt Ridge, Inc. (the “TMC Mineral Lease”) (Note 8(a)). The mining and mineral lease with Asphalt Ridge, Inc. required the Company to make minimum advance royalty payments which can be used to offset future production royalties for a maximum of two years following the year the advance royalty payment was made. Effective February 21, 2018, a third amendment was made to the TMC Mineral Lease. The amended advanced royalty payments required are a minimum of $100,000 per quarter from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020 and a minimum of $150,000 per quarter thereafter. Royalties payable on production range from 8% to 16% of adjusted revenues, dependent on hydrocarbon prices. As at February 29, 2020, the Company has paid advance royalties of $2,350,336 (August 31, 2019 - $2,250,336) to the lease holder, of which a total of $1,586,169 have been used to pay royalties as they have come due under the terms of the TMC Mineral Lease. During the six months ended February 29, 2020, $100,000 in advance royalties were paid and $203,862 have been used to pay royalties which have come due. The royalties expensed have been recognized in cost of goods sold on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. As at February 29, 2020, the Company expects to record minimum royalties paid of $432,500 from these advance royalties either against production royalties or for the royalties due within a twelve month period. |

TMC holds a mining and mineral lease, subleased from Asphalt Ridge, Inc., on the Asphalt Ridge property located in Uintah County, Utah (the “TMC Mineral Lease”). The primary term of the TMC Mineral Lease is from July 1, 2013 continuing for six years. During the primary term, the Company must meet certain requirements for oil production. After July 1, 2018, the TMC Mineral Lease will remain in effect as long as certain requirements for oil production continue to be met by the Company. If the Company fails to meet these requirements, the lease will automatically terminate 90 days after the calendar year in which the requirements are not met. In addition, the Company is required to make certain advance royalty payments to the lessor (Note 7). The TMC Mineral Lease was subject to a 10% royalty for the first three years and varying percentages thereafter based on the price of oil. An additional royalty of 1.6% is payable to the previous lessees of the TMC Mineral Lease. The TMC Mineral Lease also required the Company to make minimum expenditures on the property of $1,000,000 for the first three years, increasing to $2,000,000 for the next three years. On October 1, 2015, the Company amended the TMC Mineral Lease to defer the requirements for oil extraction until July 1, 2016 and to include the oil extraction from the MCW Mineral Lease as well. The advance royalty payments required under the TMC Mineral Lease were also amended (Note 7). Production royalties were amended to 7% until June 30, 2020 and a varying percentage thereafter, based on the price of oil. Minimum expenditures were amended to $1,000,000 per year until June 30, 2020 and $2,000,000 thereafter if certain operational requirements for oil extraction are not met. On March 1, 2016, a second amendment to the TMC Mineral Lease amended the termination clause in the lease to provide for: (i) Automatic termination if there is a lack of a written financial commitment to fund the proposed 3,000 barrel per day production facility prior to March 1, 2018; (ii) Termination following cessation of operations or inadequate production due to increased operating costs or decreased marketability if production is not restored to 80% of capacity within six months of such cessation; (iii) Termination if the proposed 3,000 barrel per day plant fails to produce a minimum of 80% of its rated capacity for at least 180 calendar days during the lease year commencing July 1, 2020 plus any extension periods; (iv) The ability of the lessee to surrender the lease with 30 days written notice; and (v) A remedial provision whereby upon written notice by the lessor to the lessee of a breach of any material term of the lease, the lessor will inform the lessee in writing and the lessee will have 30 days to cure financial breaches and 150 days to cure any other non-monetary breaches. The term of the lease was extended by the termination clause, provided that a written commitment is obtained to fund the 3,000 barrel per day proposed plant. The Company is required to produce a minimum average daily quantity of bitumen, crude oil and/or bitumen products, for a minimum of 180 days during each lease year and 600 days in three consecutive lease years, of: (i) By July 1, 2016 plus any extension periods, 80% of 100 barrels per day; (ii) By July 1, 2018 plus any extension periods, 80% of 1,500 barrels per day and (iii) By July 1, 2020, plus any extension periods, 80% of 3,000 barrels per day. Advance royalties required are: (i) From October 1, 2015 to February 28, 2018, minimum payments of $60,000 per quarter; (ii) From March 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020, minimum payments of $100,000 per quarter; (iii) From January 1, 2021, minimum payments of $150,000 per quarter; and (iv) Minimum payments commencing on July 1, 2020 will be adjusted for CPI inflation. Production royalties payable are amended to 7% of the gross sales revenue, subject to certain adjustments up until June 30, 2020. After that date, royalties will be calculated on a sliding scale based on crude oil prices ranging from 7% to 15% of gross sales revenues, subject to certain adjustments. Minimum expenditures to be incurred on the properties are $1,000,000 per year up to June 30, 2020 and $2,000,000 per year after that if a minimum daily production of 3,000 barrels per day during a 180 day period is not achieved. On February 1, 2018, a third amendment to the TMC Mineral Lease amended the termination clause in the lease to: (i) Automatic termination if there is a lack of a written financial commitment to fund the proposed 1,000 barrel per day production facility prior to March 1, 2019 and another 1,000 barrel per day production facility prior to March 1, 2020; (ii) Termination following cessation of operations or inadequate production due to increased operating costs or decreased marketability if production is not restored to 80% of capacity within six months of such cessation; (iii) Termination if the proposed 5,000 barrel per day plant fails to produce a minimum of 80% of its rated capacity for at least 180 calendar days during the lease year commencing July 1, 2020 plus any extension periods; (iv) The ability of the lessee to surrender the lease with 30 days written notice; and (v) A remedial provision whereby upon notice by the lessor to the lessee of a breach of any material term of the lease, the lessor will inform the lessee in writing and the lessee will have 30 days to cure financial breaches and 150 days to cure any other non-monetary breaches. The term of the lease was extended by the amendment, provided that a written commitment is obtained to fund the 3,000 barrel per day proposed plant. The Company is required to produce a minimum average daily quantity of bitumen, crude oil and/or bitumen products, for a minimum of 180 days during each lease year and 600 days in three consecutive lease years, of: (i) By July 1, 2018 plus any extension periods, 80% of 1,000 barrels per day; (ii) By July 1, 2020 plus any extension periods, 80% of 3,000 barrels per day; and (iii) By July 1, 2022, plus any extension periods, 80% of 5,000 barrels per day. Advance royalties required are: (i) From July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020, minimum payments of $100,000 per quarter; (ii) From July 1, 2020, minimum payments of $150,000 per quarter; and (iii) Minimum payments commencing on July 1, 2020 will be adjusted for CPI inflation. Production royalties payable are amended to 8% of the gross sales revenue, subject to certain adjustments up until June 30, 2020. After that date, royalties will be calculated on a sliding scale based on crude oil prices ranging from 8% to 16% of gross sales revenues, subject to certain adjustments. Minimum expenditures to be incurred on the properties are $2,000,000 beginning July 1, 2020 if a minimum daily production of 3,000 barrels per day during a 180 day period is not achieved. On November 21, 2018, a fourth amendment was made to the mining and mineral lease agreement whereby certain properties previously excluded from the third amendment were included in the lease agreement. The termination clause was amended to provide for: (i) Automatic termination if there is a lack of a written financial commitment to fund the proposed 1,000 barrel per day production facility prior to July 1, 2019, and another 1,000 barrel per day production facility prior to July 1, 2020; (ii) Termination following cessation of operations or inadequate production due to increased operating costs or decreased marketability if production is not restored to 80% of capacity within six months of such cessation; (iii) Termination if the proposed 3,000 barrel per day plant fails to produce a minimum of 80% of its rated capacity for at least 180 calendar days during the lease year commencing July 1, 2021 plus any extension periods; (iv) The ability of the lessee to surrender the lease with 30 days written notice; and (v) A remedial provision whereby upon notice by the lessor to the lessee of a breach of any material term of the lease, the lessor will inform the lessee in writing and the lessee will have 30 days to cure financial breaches and 150 days to cure any other non-monetary breaches. The term of the lease was extended by the amendment, provided that a written commitment is obtained to fund the 3,000 barrel per day proposed plant.

On September 1, 2015, the first phase of the plant was completed and was ready for production of hydrocarbon products for resale to third parties. During the year ended August 31, 2017 the Company began the dismantling and relocating the oil extraction facility to its TMC Mineral Lease facility to improve production and logistical efficiencies while continuing its project to increase production capacity to a minimum capacity of 1,000 barrels per day. The plant has been relocated to the TMC mining site and expansion of the plant to production of 1,000 barrels per day has been substantially completed. The cost of construction includes capitalized borrowing costs for the six months ended February 29, 2020 of $0 (August 31, 2019 - $2,190,309) and total capitalized borrowing costs as at February 29, 2020 of $4,421,055 (August 31, 2019 - $4,421,055). As a result of the relocation of the plant and the planned expansion of the plant’s production capacity to 1,000 barrels per day, and subsequently to an additional 3,000 barrels per day, the Company reevaluated the depreciation policy of the oil extraction plant and the oil extraction technologies (Note 10) and determined that depreciation should be recorded on the basis of the expected production of the completed plant at various capacities. No amortization has been recorded during the six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019 as there has only been immaterial production during these periods. |

The Company has filed patents for this technology in the USA and Canada and has employed it in its oil extraction plant. The Company commenced partial production from its oil extraction plant on September 1, 2015 and was amortizing the cost of the technology over fifteen years, the expected life of the oil extraction plant. Since the company has increased the capacity of the plant to 1,000 barrels daily during 2018, and expects to further expand the capacity to an additional 3,000 barrels daily, it determined that a more appropriate basis for the amortization of the technology is the units of production at the plant after commercial production begins again. No amortization of the technology was recorded during the six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019. |

Derivative Liability [Abstract] | |
DERIVATIVE LIABILITY | 14. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY The short-term convertible note issued to several lenders, disclosed in note 13(m)(n)(p)(q) above have conversion rights that are linked to the Company’s stock price, typically at a factor ranging from 70% to 75% of an average stock price over a period ranging from 15 to 30 days. The number of shares issuable upon conversion of these convertible notes is therefore not determinable until conversion takes place. In order to estimate the potential impact of the conversion of these convertible notes, we calculate what the expected gain or loss would amount to based on a Black Scholes valuation model which takes into account the following factors: Historical share price volatility; Maturity dates of the underlying securities being valued; Risk free interest rates; and Expected dividend policies of the Company. This expected gain or loss gives rise to a derivative liability which is recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss with a corresponding liability recorded on the balance sheet. The value of the derivative financial liabilities above was re-assessed at February 29, 2020 and a total of $695,432 was charged to the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The value of the derivative liability will be re-assessed at each financial reporting period, with any movement thereon recorded in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which it is incurred. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes valuation model: Six months Conversion price CAD$0.095 to CAD$0.25 Risk free interest rate 1.38 to 2.12 % Expected life of derivative liability 6 to 9 months Expected volatility of underlying stock 93.9 to 108.7 % Expected dividend rate 0 % The movement in derivative liability is as follows: February 29, Opening balance $ — Derivative financial liability arising from convertible notes 358,853 Fair value adjustment to derivative liability 659,885 $ 1,018,738 |

During the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company recorded a provision of $350,000 for dismantling the facility. During the year ended August 31, 2019, in accordance with the requirements to provide a surety bond to the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining in terms of the amendment to the Notice of Intent to Commence Large Mining Operations at an estimated production of 4,000 barrels per day, the Company estimated that the cost of dismantling the oil extraction plant and related equipment would increase to $498,484. The discount rate used in the calculation is estimated to be 2.32% on operations that are expected to commence in September 2021. Because of the long-term nature of the liability, the greatest uncertainties in estimating this provision are the costs that will be incurred and the timing of the dismantling of the oil extraction facility. In particular, the Company has assumed that the oil extraction facility will be dismantled using technology and equipment currently available and that the plant will continue to be economically viable until the end of the lease term. The discount rate used in the calculation of the provision as at August 31, 2019 and 2018 is 2.0%. (b) Site restoration In accordance with environmental laws in the United States, the Company’s environmental permits and the lease agreements, the Company is required to restore contaminated and disturbed land to its original condition before the end of the lease term, which is expected to be in 25 years. During the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company provided $200,000 for this purpose. The site restoration provision represents rehabilitation and restoration costs related to oil extraction sites. This provision has been created based on the Company’s internal estimates. Significant assumptions in estimating the provision include the technology and equipment currently available, future environmental laws and restoration requirements, and future market prices for the necessary restoration works required. During the year ended August 31, 2019, in accordance with the requirements to provide a surety bond to the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining in terms of the amendment to the Notice of Intent to Commence Large Mining Operations at an estimated production of 4,000 barrels per day, the Company estimated that the cost of restoring the site would increase to $2,472,013. The discount rate used in the calculation is estimated to be 2.32% on operations that are expected to commence in September 2021. The discount rate used in the calculation of the provision as at August 31, 2019 and 2018 is 2.0%. |

Management of Financial Risks [Abstract] | |
MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS | 26. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS The risks to which the Company’s financial instruments are exposed to are: (a) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash held at financial institutions, trade receivables from customers and notes receivable. The Company has cash balances at various financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any loss on these accounts, although balances in the accounts may exceed the insurable limits. The Company considers credit risk from cash to be minimal. Credit extension, monitoring and collection are performed for each of the Company’s business segments. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness, as determined by a review of the customer’s credit information. Accounts receivable, collections and payments from customers are monitored based upon historical experience with customers, current market and industry conditions and specific customer collection issues. At February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the Company had $12,000 and $0 in trade receivables, respectively and $724,670 and $845,743 in notes receivable, respectively. The Company considers its maximum exposure to credit risk to be its trade and other receivables and notes receivable. The Company expects to collect these amounts in full and has not provided an expected credit loss allowance against these amounts. (b) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the fair value or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of holding fixed rate investments of varying maturities as well as through certain floating rate instruments. The Company considers its exposure to interest rate risk to be minimal. (c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses. The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted and include estimated interest payments. The Company has included both the interest and principal cash flows in the analysis as it believes this best represents the Company's liquidity risk. At February 29, 2020 Contractual cash flows Carrying 1 year More than (in ’000s of dollars) amount Total or less 2 - 5 years 5 years Accounts payable $ 2,484 $ 2,484 $ 2,484 $ — $ — Accrued liabilities 2,509 2,509 2,509 — — Promissory notes 167 167 167 Convertible debenture 7,754 8,846 8,119 727 — Long-term debt 1,150 1,248 1,108 140 — $ 14,064 $ 15,254 $ 14,387 $ 867 $ — |

Reconciliation of Ifrs Disclosure to UsGaap Disclosure [Abstract] | |
RECONCILIATION OF IFRS DISCLOSURE TO US GAAP DISCLOSURE | 27. RECONCILIATION OF IFRS DISCLOSURE TO US GAAP DISCLOSURE The Company's primary listing is on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The consolidated financial statements filed on that exchange are now filed in terms of US GAAP. Previously the consolidated financial statements were filed in terms of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Company’s comparative consolidated financial statements were prepared using US GAAP, therefore a reconciliation of the comparative IFRS and US GAAP presentation was performed for the comparative period. The main differences between IFRS and US GAAP are as follows: For the three months ended February 28, Net loss and comprehensive loss in accordance with IFRS $ 2,682,650 Share-based compensation (248,912 ) Debt issue costs 1,190,132 Net loss and comprehensive loss in accordance with US GAAP $ 3,623,870 For the six months ended February 28, 2019 Net loss and comprehensive loss in accordance with IFRS $ 8,955,106 Share-based compensation (497,824 ) Debt issue costs 95,694 Net loss and comprehensive loss in accordance with US GAAP $ 8,552,976 February 28, Total shareholders’ equity in accordance with IFRS $ 37,942,916 Components of share capital in accordance with IFRS Share capital 88,062,341 Shares to be issued 1,051,950 Share option reserve 13,931,650 Share warrant reserve 5,820,603 108,866,544 Adjustment for: Share-based compensation 31,050 Share capital in accordance with US GAAP 108,897,594 Deficit in accordance with IFRS (70,923,628 ) Adjustment for: Debt issue costs (95,694 ) Share-based compensation (31,050 ) Deficit in accordance with US GAAP (71,050,372 ) Shareholders equity in accordance with US GAAP $ 37,847,222 Share-based compensation The Company granted certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company share purchase options with vesting terms attached thereto, 25% vested immediately and a further 25%, per annum will vest on the grant date of the share purchase options. These share purchase options were valued using a Black Scholes valuation model utilizing the assumptions as disclosed in note 16 above. Under IFRS share-based compensation paid to certain directors, consultants and employees were amortized over the vesting period of the option grant using a weighted average expense over the vesting period, including the immediately vesting share purchase options. Under US GAAP, the share purchase options issued to consultants were expensed immediately and the share purchase options issued to directors and officers were amortized as follows; (i) the value of the twenty five percent of the options that vested immediately were expensed immediately; (ii) the remaining value of the seventy five percent of the options which vest equally on an annual basis are being expensed over the vesting period on a straight line basis. The difference in treatment between IFRS and US GAAP gave rise to a reversal of expense of $248,912 and $497,824 for the three months and six months ended February 28, 2019, respectively. There was no impact on the prior periods as all options issued during that period vested immediately and were accordingly expensed immediately. Debt issue costs The Company settled certain commitment fees and finders fees related to the issue of convertible notes by the issue of common shares valued at $1,276,980. Under IFRS, these debt issue costs were originally expensed in the three month period ended November 30, 2018 and subsequently recorded as a prepaid commitment fee in the six month period ended February 28, 2019. Under IFRS this commitment fee is not directly linked to the convertible debt and is amortized on a straight line basis over the commitment period. In terms of US GAAP, the commitment fee and finder's fee is regarded as directly related to the debt and is recorded as a debt discount which is amortized over the life of the debt, including any accelerated amortization due to repayment or early settlement of the debt. The difference in treatment between IFRS and USGAAP gave rise to an additional expense of $1,190,132, including the reversal of debt issue costs of $1,276,980 under IFRS, and $95,694 for the three and six months ended February 28, 2019, respectively. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | 28. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Events after the reporting date not otherwise separately disclosed in these consolidated financial statements are: (a) Debt conversions Between May 8, 2020 and May 27, 2020 a convertible debt holder converted $110,000 of principal into 4,224,964 shares at an average conversion price of $0.026 per share. (b) Financing Activity On March 11, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note to a private investor who advanced the Company $100,000, guaranteed by the Chairman of the Board. The promissory bears no interest and was repayable on April 13, 2020. The promissory note has not been repaid as yet. On March 30, 2020, the Company issued to Petroleum Capital Funding L.P., an arm's length private lender, a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of US$471,000, which after taking into account an original issue discount of US$78,500, or approximately 16.67%, resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of US$392,500. The proceeds of this debenture were received prior to February 29, 2020. The Company's obligations to the Lender under the Debentures have been secured by a first priority lien on all bitumen reserves at the Company's Asphalt Ridge property, consisting of 8,000 acres. |

Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Operations [Abstract] | |
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS | 29. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS Supplemental unaudited information regarding the Company's oil and gas activities is presented in this note. The Company has not commenced commercial operations, therefore the disclosure of the results of operations of hydrocarbon activities is limited to advance royalties paid. All expenditure incurred to date is capitalized as part of the development cost of the company's oil extraction plant. The Company does not have any proven hydrocarbon reserves or historical data to forecast the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows related to proven hydrocarbon reserve quantities. Upon the commencement of production, the Company will be able to forecast future revenues and expenses of its hydrocarbon activities. Costs incurred The following table reflects the costs incurred in hydrocarbon property acquisition and development expenses. All costs were incurred in the US. (In US$ 000’s) Three months ended Three months ended Six months ended February 29, 2020 Six months ended February 28, 2019 Advanced royalty payment $ 40 $ 100 $ 100 $ 200 Deposits paid on mineral rights 50 1,800 610 1,800 Construction of oil extraction plant 223 2,449 2,116 7,204 $ 313 $ 4,349 $ 2,826 $ 9,204 Results of operations The only operating expenses incurred to date on hydrocarbon activities relate to minimum royalties paid on mineral leases that the Company has entered into and certain maintenance and personnel costs incurred. All costs were incurred in the US. (In US$ 000’s) Three months ended Three months ended Six months ended February 29, 2020 Six months ended February 28, 2019 Advanced royalty payments applied or expired $ 112 $ 138 $ 204 $ 172 Production and maintenance costs 728 — 1,406 — $ 840 $ 138 $ 1,610 $ 172 Proven reserves The Company does not have any proven hydrocarbon reserves as of February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 6 Months Ended |
Feb. 29, 2020 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of preparation | (a) Basis of preparation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting policies (“US GAAP”) and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities which are measured at fair value. The Company’s reporting currency and the functional currency of all of its operations is the U.S. dollar, as it is the principal currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which the Company considers necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended February 29, 2020 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire fiscal year. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Petroteq for the year ended August 31, 2019, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 16, 2019. All amounts referred to in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise. The Company is an “SEC Issuer” as defined under National Instrument 52-107 “Accounting Principles and Audit Standards” “Continuous Disclosure Obligations” The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on June 5, 2020. |
Consolidation | (b) Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries in which it has at least a majority voting interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The entities included in these consolidated financial statements are as follows: Entity % of Jurisdiction Petroteq Energy Inc. Parent Canada Petroteq Energy CA, Inc. 100% USA Petroteq Oil Sands Recovery, LLC 100% USA TMC Capital, LLC 100% USA Petrobloq, LLC 100% USA An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investment in associate is carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost as adjusted for changes in the Company’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of the investment. Losses of an associate in excess of the Company’s interest in that associate are not recognized. Additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payment on behalf of the associate. The Company had accounted for its investment in Accord GR Energy, Inc. (“Accord”) on the equity basis since March 1, 2017. The Company had previously owned a controlling interest in Accord and the results were consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. However, subsequent equity subscriptions into Accord reduced the Company’s ownership to 44.7% as of March 1, 2017 and the results of Accord were deconsolidated from that date. As of August 31, 2019, the Company has impaired 100% of the remaining investment in Accord due to inactivity and a lack of adequate investment in Accord to progress to commercial production and viability. |
Estimates | (c) Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to recovery of long-lived assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to the Company’s reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the following; ● the useful lives and depreciation rates for intangible assets and property, plant and equipment; ● the carrying and fair value of oil and gas properties and product and equipment inventories; ● All provisions; ● the fair value of reporting units and the related assessment of goodwill for impairment, if applicable; ● the fair value of intangibles other than goodwill; ● income taxes and the recoverability of deferred tax assets ● legal and environmental risks and exposures; and ● general credit risks associated with receivables, if any. |
Foreign currency translation adjustments | (d) Foreign currency translation adjustments The Company’s reporting currency and the functional currency of all its operations is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian parent company are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period. Income, expenses and cash flows are translated using an average exchange rate during the reporting period. Since the reporting currency as well as the functional currency of all entities is the U.S. Dollar there is no translation difference recorded. |
Revenue recognition | (e) Revenue recognition Impact of ASC 606 Adoption The Company recognizes revenue in terms of ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and includes a five-step revenue recognition model to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods or services. The five steps are as follows: i. identify the contract with a customer; ii. identify the performance obligations in the contract; iii. determine the transaction price; iv. allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and v. recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue from hydrocarbon sales Revenue from hydrocarbon sales include the sale of hydrocarbon products and are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, delivery has occurred, control has transferred and collectability of the revenue is probable. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. This occurs when control is transferred to the purchaser upon delivery of contract specified production volumes at a specified point. The transaction price used to recognize revenue is a function of the contract billing terms. Revenue is invoiced, if required, upon delivery based on volumes at contractually based rates with payment typically received within 30 days after invoice date. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities on hydrocarbon sales, if any, are not included in such revenues, but are presented separately in the consolidated comprehensive statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations The Company does not anticipate entering into long-term supply contracts, rather it expects all contracts to be short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. The Company intends applying the practical expedient in ASC 606 exempting the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. For contracts with terms greater than one year, the Company will apply the practical expedient in ASC 606 exempting the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if there is any variable consideration to be allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. The Company anticipates that with respect to the contracts it will enter into, each unit of product will typically represent a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. Contract balances The Company does not anticipate that it will receive cash relating to future performance obligations. However, if such cash is received, the revenue will be deferred and recognized when all revenue recognition criteria are met. Disaggregation of revenue The Company has limited revenues to date. Disaggregation of revenue disclosures can be found in Note 24. Customers The Company anticipates that it will have a limited number of customers which will make up the bulk of its revenues due to the nature of the oil and gas industry. |
General and administrative expenses | (f) General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses will be presented net of any working interest owners, if any, of the oil and gas properties owned or leased by the Company. |
Share-based payments | (g) Share-based payments The Company may grant stock options to directors, officers, employees and others providing similar services. The fair value of these stock options is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the options vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. The Company may also grant equity instruments to consultants and other parties in exchange for goods and services. Such instruments are measured at the fair value of the goods and services received on the date they are received and are recorded as share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in equity. If the fair value of the goods and services received are not reliably determinable, their fair value is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. |
Income taxes | (h) Income taxes The Company utilizes ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Accounting guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements, under which a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Accordingly, the Company would report a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company elects to recognize any interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. |
Net income (loss) per share | (i) Net income (loss) per share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for stock options and share purchase warrants. Under this method, “in-the-money” stock options and share purchase warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. |
Cash and cash equivalents | (j) Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original contractual maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
Accounts receivable | (k) Accounts receivable The Company had minimal sales during the period and accounts receivable balances are minimal. |
Oil and gas property and equipment | (l) Oil and gas property and equipment The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. Exploration costs, such as exploratory geological and geophysical costs, and costs associated with delay rentals and exploration overhead are charged against earnings as incurred. Costs of successful exploratory efforts along with acquisition costs and the costs of development of surface mining sites are capitalized. Site development costs are initially capitalized, or suspended, pending the determination of proved reserves. If proved reserves are found, site development costs remain capitalized as proved properties. Costs of unsuccessful site developments are charged to exploration expense. For site development costs that find reserves that cannot be classified as proved when development is completed, costs continue to be capitalized as suspended exploratory site development costs if there have been sufficient reserves found to justify completion as a producing site and sufficient progress is being made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. If management determines that future appraisal development activities are unlikely to occur, associated suspended exploratory development costs are expensed. In some instances, this determination may take longer than one year. The Company reviews the status of all suspended exploratory site development costs quarterly. Capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties are depleted by an equivalent unit-of-production method. Proved leasehold acquisition costs, less accumulated amortization, are depleted over total proved reserves, which includes proved undeveloped reserves. Capitalized costs of related equipment and facilities, including estimated asset retirement costs, net of estimated salvage values and less accumulated amortization are depreciated over proved developed reserves associated with those capitalized costs. Depletion is calculated by applying the DD&A rate (amortizable base divided by beginning of period proved reserves) to current period production. Costs associated with unproved properties are excluded from the depletion calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. The Company assesses its unproved properties for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Proved properties will be assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes based on a common operating location. If there is an indication the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered, the asset is assessed for potential impairment by management through an established process. If, upon review, the sum of the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. Because there is usually a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of impaired assets is typically determined based on the present values of expected future cash flows using discount rates believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants or by comparable transactions. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are typically based on judgmental assessments of future production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, and capital investment plans, considering all available information at the date of review. Gains or losses are recorded for sales or dispositions of oil and gas properties which constitute an entire common operating field or which result in a significant alteration of the common operating field’s DD&A rate. These gains and losses are classified as asset dispositions in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Partial common operating field sales or dispositions deemed not to significantly alter the DD&A rates are generally accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized. The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred and attributable to material unproved oil and gas properties and major development projects of oil and gas properties. |
Other property and equipment | (m) Other property and equipment Depreciation and amortization of other property and equipment, including corporate and leasehold improvements, are provided using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. Interest costs incurred and attributable to major corporate construction projects are also capitalized. |
Asset retirement obligations and environmental liabilities | (n) Asset retirement obligations and environmental liabilities The Company recognizes liabilities for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, such as producing sites when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of such assets and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its fair value, with an offsetting asset retirement cost recorded as an increase to the associated property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. When the assumptions used to estimate a recorded asset retirement obligation change, a revision is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. The Company’s asset retirement obligations also include estimated environmental remediation costs which arise from normal operations and are associated with the retirement of such long-lived assets. The asset retirement cost is depreciated using a systematic and rational method similar to that used for the associated property and equipment. |
Commitments and contingencies | (o) Commitments and contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation or other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities for environmental remediation or restoration claims resulting from allegations of improper operation of assets are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Expenditures related to such environmental matters are expensed or capitalized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for property and equipment. |
Fair value measurements | (p) Fair value measurements Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This price is commonly referred to as the “exit price.” Fair value measurements are classified according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs underlying the valuation techniques. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 – Inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. When available, the Company measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. Level 2 – Inputs consist of quoted prices that are generally observable for the asset or liability. Common examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets not considered to be active. Level 3 – Inputs are not observable from objective sources and have the lowest priority. The most common Level 3 fair value measurement is an internally developed cash flow model. |
Comparative amounts | (q) Comparative amounts The comparative amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the presentation used in the current year. |
Recent accounting standards | (r) Recent accounting standards Issued accounting standards not yet adopted The Company will evaluate the applicability of the following issued accounting standards and intends to adopt those which are applicable to its activities. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Effective September 1, 2019, the Company will adopt the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s standard, Leases (Topic 842), as amended. The standard requires all leases to be recorded on the balance sheet as a right of use asset and a lease liability. The Company intends to use a transition method that applies the new lease standard at September 1, 2019 and recognizes any cumulative effect adjustments to the opening balance of fiscal year 2020 retained earnings. The Company intends to apply a policy election to exclude short-term leases from balance sheet recognition and also intends to elect certain practical expedients at adoption. As permitted under these expedients the company will not reassess whether existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification for any existing leases, initial direct costs for any existing lease and whether existing land easements and rights of way, that were not previously accounted for as leases, are or contain a lease. The Company has certain capital leases that meet the requirements of this ASU. These leases have historically been treated in line with the requirements of ASU 2016-02, therefore no adjustment is required. The Company entered into a property operating lease during the current period whereby does not have any leases that meet the criteria currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) The Amendments in this update reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to accounting for income taxes and deferred taxes and simplifying the accounting treatment of franchise taxes, a step up in the tax basis of goodwill as part of business combinations, the allocation of current and deferred tax to a legal entity not subject to tax in its own financial statements, reflecting changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective rate in interim periods that include the enactment date and minor codification improvements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The effects of this ASU on the Company's financial statements is not considered to be material. The FASB issued several updates during the period, none of these standards are either applicable to the Company or require adoption at a future date and none are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. |
