| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | (1) Partnership Organization Energy 11, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was formed as a Delaware limited partnership. The initial capitalization of the Partnership of $1,000 occurred on July 9, 2013. The Partnership is offering common units of limited partner interest (the “Units”) on a “best efforts” basis with the intention of raising up to $2,000,000,000 of capital, consisting of 100,263,158 Units.

| Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited December 31, 2014 financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The fair market value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying value. Cash balances may at times exceed federal depository insurance limits. Offering Costs Offering costs will be deferred and recorded as deferred offering costs until the commencement of the Partnership’s offering. Upon commencement of the Partnership’s offering these costs will be recorded as a reduction to Partners’ equity. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the US requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Oil and Gas Properties The Partnership will use the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas costs associated with property acquisitions and exploration and development activities. Costs to acquire leaseholds and mineral interests in crude oil and natural gas properties will be capitalized when incurred. Drilling costs of successful wells and developmental dry holes will be capitalized and amortized. The costs of exploratory wells will be initially capitalized, but expensed if and when the well is determined to be nonproducing. Geological and geophysical costs, production costs, and general company overhead will all be expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method based on proved oil and natural gas reserves for leasehold costs and proven developed oil and natural gas reserves for exploration and development costs. Unproven oil and natural gas leasehold costs will be assessed for impairment at the property level on a quarterly basis or when events and circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Capitalized costs related to proven properties will be assessed for impairment quarterly or when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment assessment for proven properties will be based on a logical asset grouping of wells within a producing field or geological formation. These assessments will utilize estimates of future discounted net cash flows. Significant judgments and assumptions in these assessments will include estimates of future oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas prices, projected drilling plans and expected capital costs. The value of cash flows associated with probable and possible reserves will be risk adjusted. Income Tax The Partnership is taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. No provision for income taxes has been recorded since the liability for such taxes is that of each of the partners rather than the Partnership. The Partnership’s income tax returns will be subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities, and changes, if any, could adjust the individual income tax of the partners. Recent Accounting Standard In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement related to revenue recognition, which amends the former guidance and provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. This standard contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The entity will recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement. |

| Partners' Capital Notes [Abstract] | ||
| Partners' Capital Notes Disclosure [Text Block] | (3) Capital Contribution and Partners’ Equity The General Partner and organizational limited partner have made initial capital contributions totaling $1,000 to the Partnership. Upon closing of the minimum offering the organizational limited partner will withdraw, its initial capital contribution of $990 will be returned, the General Partner will receive Incentive Distribution Rights (defined below), and will be reimbursed for its documented third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred in organizing the Partnership and offering the Units. The Partnership intends to raise capital through a “best-efforts” offering of Units by the Managing Dealer. Under the agreement with the Managing Dealer, the Managing Dealer will receive a total of 6% in selling commissions and a marketing expense allowance based on gross proceeds of the Units sold. The Managing Dealer will also be paid a contingent incentive fee which is a cash payment of up to an amount equal to 4% of gross proceeds of the Units sold as outlined in the prospectus based on the performance of the Partnership. The minimum offering must be sold before January 23, 2017 or the offering will terminate and investors’ subscription payments will be refunded to investors. Pending sale of such minimum offering amount, investors’ subscription payments will be placed in an escrow account. As of June 30, 2015 subscriptions totaling approximately $20.0 million had been received in the escrow account. In addition, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership expects to issue to the Manager 100,000 class B units. Prior to “Payout,” which is defined below, all of the distributions made by the Partnership, if any, will be paid to the holders of Units. Accordingly, the Partnership will not make any distributions with respect to the Incentive Distribution Rights or with respect to class B units and will not make the contingent, incentive payments to the Managing Dealer, until Payout occurs. The Partnership Agreement provides that Payout occurs on the day when the aggregate amount distributed with respect to each of the Units equals $20.00 plus the Payout Accrual. The Partnership Agreement defines “Payout Accrual” as 7% per annum simple interest accrued monthly until paid on the Net Investment Amount outstanding from time to time. The Partnership Agreement defines Net Investment Amount initially as $20.00 per Unit, regardless of the amount paid for the Unit. If at any time the Partnership distributes to holders of Units more than the Payout Accrual, the amount the Partnership distributes in excess of the Payout Accrual will reduce the Net Investment Amount. All distributions made by the Partnership after Payout, which may include all or a portion of the proceeds of the sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, will be made as follows: · First, 35% to the holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights, 35% to the holders of the class B units and 30% to the Managing Dealer as its contingent, incentive fee until the Managing Dealer receives incentive fees equal to 4% of the gross proceeds of the offering of common units; and then · Thereafter, 35% to the holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights, 35% to the holders of the class B units and 30% to the holders of the Units. All items of income, gain, loss and deduction will be allocated to each Partner’s capital account in a manner generally consistent with the distribution procedures outlined above. | (3) Capital Contribution and Partners’ Equity The General Partner and organizational limited partner have made initial capital contributions totaling $1,000 to the Partnership.

The planned fees under the Dealer Manager Agreement have changed from the December 31, 2013 financial statements. The minimum offering must be sold before January 23, 2017 or the offering will terminate and investors’ subscription payments will be refunded to investors. Pending sale of such minimum offering amount, investors’ subscription payments will be placed in an escrow account.

The distribution structure under the Partnership Agreement has changed from the December 31, 2013 financial statements. All items of income, gain, loss and deduction will be allocated to each Partner’s capital account in a manner generally consistent with the distribution procedures outlined above. |
