Disclosure Text Block [Abstract] | |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 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 began offering common units of limited partner interest (the “common units”) on a best-efforts basis on January 22, 2015, the date the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared the offering effective. The Partnership intended to raise up to $2,000,000,000 of capital, consisting of 100,263,158 common units. As of August 19, 2015, the Partnership completed the sale of the minimum offering of 1,315,790 common units. The subscribers were admitted as Limited Partners of the Partnership at the initial closing of the offering. The Partnership completed its offering on April 24, 2017 with a total of approximately 19.0 million common units sold for gross proceeds of approximately $374.2 million. The proceeds from the sale of the common units have been used to acquire producing and non-producing oil and natural gas properties onshore in the United States and to develop those properties. As of March 31, 2017, the Partnership owns an approximate 26-27% non-operated working interest in 216 existing producing wells and approximately 257 future development sites in the Sanish field located in Mountrail County, North Dakota (collectively, the “Sanish Field Assets”), which is part of the Bakken shale formation in the Greater Williston Basin. Whiting Petroleum Corporation (“Whiting”), one of the largest producers in the basin, operates substantially all of the Sanish Field Assets. The general partner of the Partnership is Energy 11 GP, LLC (the “General Partner”). The General Partner manages and controls the business affairs of the Partnership. David Lerner Associates, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), was the dealer manager for the offering of the common units. The Partnership’s fiscal year ends on December 31. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 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 SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 consolidated financial statements included in its 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2017. Offering Costs On April 24, 2017, the Partnership completed its best-efforts offering of common units by the Dealer Manager, which received a selling commission and a marketing expense allowance based on proceeds of the common units sold. Additionally, the Partnership incurred other offering costs including legal, accounting and reporting services. These offering costs are recorded by the Partnership as a reduction of partners’ equity. As of March 31, 2017, the Partnership had sold 17.7 million common units for gross proceeds of $348.7 million and proceeds net of offering costs of $325.6 million. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on previously reported net income, partners’ equity or cash flows. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Unit Basic net income (loss) per common unit is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common unit is calculated after giving effect to all potential common units that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. There were no common units with a dilutive effect for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. As a result, basic and diluted outstanding common units were the same. The Class B units and Incentive Distribution Rights, as defined below, are not included in net income (loss) per common unit until such time that it is probable Payout (as discussed in Note 6) would occur. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), which amends the existing accounting standards to clarify the definition of a business and assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public entities, the guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods, and should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early application is permitted for transactions that occur before the issuance or effective date of this amendment, provided the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The Partnership adopted the standard effective January 1, 2017. The Partnership’s acquisitions prior to 2017 were accounted for as acquisitions of an existing business and therefore, all transaction costs were expensed as incurred. The Partnership’s acquisitions in the first quarter of 2017 were accounted for as asset purchases with acquisition costs, such as legal, title and accounting costs, being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. The Partnership will evaluate any future acquisition(s) of oil and gas properties under the revised standard and account for the acquisition as either an asset purchase or business combination depending on the particular facts and circumstances of the acquisition. |

Oil and Gas Property [Abstract] | |
Oil and Gas Properties [Text Block] | Note 3. Oil and Natural Gas Investments On December 18, 2015, the Partnership completed its purchase (“Acquisition No. 1”) of an approximate 11% non-operated working interest in the Sanish Field Assets for approximately $159.6 million. The Partnership accounted for Acquisition No. 1 as a business combination, and therefore expensed, as incurred, transaction costs associated with this acquisition. These costs included, but were not limited to, due diligence, reserve reports, legal and engineering services and site visits. On January 11, 2017, the Partnership closed on its purchase (“Acquisition No. 2”) of an additional approximate 11% non-operated working interest in the Sanish Field Assets for approximately $130.0 million, consisting of cash payments totaling $90.0 million and the delivery of a promissory note in favor of the seller of $40.0 million. See Note 4. Notes Payable for further discussion on this promissory note. The Partnership recorded an asset retirement obligation liability of approximately $0.8 million in conjunction with Acquisition No. 2. See Note 5. Asset Retirement Obligations for further discussion. During the first quarter of 2017, the Partnership and the sellers adjusted the purchase price for the settlement of operating activity that occurred prior to the closing date, which resulted in a net decrease of approximately $1.6 million to the purchase price of the asset. The Partnership accounted for Acquisition No. 2 as a business combination through December 31, 2016; all transaction costs incurred on or prior to December 31, 2016 were expensed as incurred. As discussed above in Note 2, the Partnership adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017. Therefore, Acquisition No. 2 was accounted for as an acquisition of a group of assets and transaction costs incurred during the first quarter of 2017 were capitalized, increasing the purchase price of the asset. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Partnership capitalized approximately $31,000 of transaction costs related to Acquisition No. 2. After purchase price adjustments, the Partnership recorded the assets acquired in this transaction at a cost of approximately $128.5 million. Acquisition No. 2 increased the Partnership’s non-operated working interest in the Sanish Field Assets to approximately 22-23%. On March 31, 2017, the Partnership closed on its purchase (“Acquisition No. 3”) of an additional approximate average 10.5% non-operated working interest in 82 of the Partnership’s 216 existing producing wells and 150 of the Partnership’s 257 future development locations in the Sanish Field Assets (“Additional Interest”) for approximately $53.0 million of consideration consisting of cash payments totaling $20.0 million and the delivery of a promissory note in favor of the seller of $33.0 million. See Note 4. Notes Payable for further discussion on this promissory note. The Partnership recorded an asset retirement obligation liability of approximately $0.3 million in conjunction with Acquisition No. 3. See Note 5. Asset Retirement Obligations for further discussion. The purchase was accounted for as an acquisition of a group of assets; as a result, transaction costs were capitalized, increasing the purchase price of the asset. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Partnership capitalized approximately $56,000 of transactions costs related to Acquisition No. 3. Acquisition No. 3 increased the Partnership’s total non-operated working interest in the Sanish Field Assets to approximately 26-27%. The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared as if Acquisitions No. 2 and No. 3 of the Sanish Field Assets had occurred on January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma financial information was derived from the historical Statement of Operations of the Partnership and the historical information provided by the sellers. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisitions of the Sanish Field Assets and related financings occurred on the basis assumed above, nor is such information indicative of the Partnership’s expected future results of operations.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 4. Notes Payable As part of the financing for Acquisition No. 2, as described above in Note 3. Oil and Natural Gas Investments, on January 11, 2017, the Partnership executed a note in favor of the sellers in the original principal amount of $40.0 million. The Partnership paid the $40.0 million promissory note, which bore interest at 5%, in full on February 23, 2017. As part of the financing for Acquisition No. 3, as described above in Note 3. Oil and Natural Gas Investments, on March 31, 2017, the Partnership executed a note (“Seller Note”) in favor of the sellers in the original principal amount of $33.0 million. The Seller Note bears interest at 5% per annum and is payable in full no later than August 1, 2017 (“Maturity Date”). There is no penalty for prepayment of the Seller Note. Payment of the Seller Note is secured by a mortgage and liens on the Additional Interest in the Sanish Field Assets in customary form. The first interest payment is due April 30, 2017 and subsequent interest is due on the last day of each month until the Maturity Date. In addition to interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Seller Note, the Partnership was required to make a principal payment on or before April 28, 2017 in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds the Partnership received from the sale of its equity securities in April 2017. As a result, the Partnership made a principal payment of $24.5 million in April 2017. As of April 30, 2017, the outstanding balance on the Seller Note was $8.5 million. If the Partnership sells any of its owned property, the Partnership is required to make a principal payment equal to 100% of the net proceeds of such sale until the principal amount of the Seller Note is paid in full. As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding balance on the note was $33.0 million, which approximates its fair market value. The carrying value of all of the other financial instruments of the Partnership approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The Partnership estimated the fair value of its note payable by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity of a debt obligation with similar credit terms and credit characteristics, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. The market rate, which approximated the Partnership’s interest rate for the Seller Note, takes into consideration general market conditions and maturity. |

Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 5. Asset Retirement Obligations The Partnership records an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) and capitalizes the asset retirement costs in oil and natural gas properties in the period in which the asset retirement obligation is incurred based upon the fair value of an obligation to perform site reclamation, dismantle facilities or plug and abandon wells. After recording these amounts, the ARO is accreted to its future estimated value using an assumed cost of funds and the additional capitalized costs are depreciated on a unit-of-production basis. Inherent in the present value calculation are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. To the extent future revisions of these assumptions impact the present value of the existing asset retirement obligation, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and natural gas property balance. The changes in the aggregate ARO are as follows: 2017 2016 Balance as of January 1 $ 70,623 $ 105,459 Liabilities incurred - Acquisition No. 2 781,628 - Liabilities incurred - Acquisition No. 3 289,827 - Revisions 36,625 - Accretion expense 11,172 2,954 Balance as of March 31 $ 1,189,875 $ 108,413 |

Partners' Capital Notes [Abstract] | |
Partners' Capital Notes Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 6. Capital Contribution and Partners’ Equity At inception, the General Partner and organizational limited partner made initial capital contributions totaling $1,000 to the Partnership. Upon closing of the minimum offering, the organizational limited partner withdrew its initial capital contribution of $990, the General Partner received Incentive Distribution Rights (defined below), and has been and will be reimbursed for its documented third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred in organizing the Partnership and offering the common units. The Partnership completed its best-efforts offering of common units on April 24, 2017. The Partnership completed its minimum offering of 1,315,790 common units at $19.00 per common unit on August 19, 2015. All subsequent shares of common units were sold at $20.00 per common unit. As of March 31, 2017, the Partnership had completed the sale of 17.7 million common units for total gross proceeds of $348.7 million and proceeds net of selling commissions and marketing expenses of $327.7 million. As of the conclusion of the offering on April 24, 2017, the Partnership had completed the sale of approximately 19.0 million common units for total gross proceeds of $374.2 million and proceeds net of selling commissions and marketing expenses of $351.8 million. Under the agreement with the Dealer Manager, the Dealer Manager received a total of 6% in selling commissions and a marketing expense allowance based on gross proceeds of the common units sold. The Dealer Manager 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 common units sold based on the performance of the Partnership. Based on the common units sold through April 24, 2017, the total contingent fee is a maximum of approximately $15.0 million. Prior to “Payout,” which is defined below, all of the distributions made by the Partnership, if any, will be paid to the holders of common 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 Dealer Manager, until Payout occurs. The Partnership Agreement provides that Payout occurs on the day when the aggregate amount distributed with respect to each of the common 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 common 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, (i) to the Record Holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights, 35%; (ii) to the Record Holders of the Outstanding Class B units, pro rata based on the number of Class B units owned, 35% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class B units outstanding and the denominator of which is 100,000; (iii) to the Dealer Manager, as the Dealer Manager contingent incentive fee paid under the Dealer Manager Agreement, 30%, and (iv) the remaining amount, if any, to the Record Holders of outstanding common units, pro rata based on their percentage interest until such time as the Dealer Manager receives the full amount of the Dealer Manager contingent incentive fee under the Dealer Manager Agreement; · Thereafter, (i) to the Record Holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights, 35%; (ii) to the Record Holders of the Outstanding Class B units, pro rata based on the number of Class B units owned, 35% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class B units outstanding and the denominator of which is 100,000; (iii) the remaining amount to the Record Holders of outstanding common units, pro rata based on their percentage interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Partnership paid distributions of $0.349041 and $0.326027 per common unit, or $5.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. |

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2017. |
Offering Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Offering Costs On April 24, 2017, the Partnership completed its best-efforts offering of common units by the Dealer Manager, which received a selling commission and a marketing expense allowance based on proceeds of the common units sold. Additionally, the Partnership incurred other offering costs including legal, accounting and reporting services. These offering costs are recorded by the Partnership as a reduction of partners’ equity. As of March 31, 2017, the Partnership had sold 17.7 million common units for gross proceeds of $348.7 million and proceeds net of offering costs of $325.6 million. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on previously reported net income, partners’ equity or cash flows. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Net Income (Loss) Per Common Unit Basic net income (loss) per common unit is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common unit is calculated after giving effect to all potential common units that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. There were no common units with a dilutive effect for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. As a result, basic and diluted outstanding common units were the same. The Class B units and Incentive Distribution Rights, as defined below, are not included in net income (loss) per common unit until such time that it is probable Payout (as discussed in Note 6) would occur. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), which amends the existing accounting standards to clarify the definition of a business and assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public entities, the guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods, and should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early application is permitted for transactions that occur before the issuance or effective date of this amendment, provided the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The Partnership adopted the standard effective January 1, 2017. The Partnership’s acquisitions prior to 2017 were accounted for as acquisitions of an existing business and therefore, all transaction costs were expensed as incurred. The Partnership’s acquisitions in the first quarter of 2017 were accounted for as asset purchases with acquisition costs, such as legal, title and accounting costs, being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. The Partnership will evaluate any future acquisition(s) of oil and gas properties under the revised standard and account for the acquisition as either an asset purchase or business combination depending on the particular facts and circumstances of the acquisition. |

Key Provisions of Operating or Partnership Agreement, Description | The Partnership Agreement provides that Payout occurs on the day when the aggregate amount distributed with respect to each of the common 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 common 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, (i) to the Record Holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights, 35%; (ii) to the Record Holders of the Outstanding Class B units, pro rata based on the number of Class B units owned, 35% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class B units outstanding and the denominator of which is 100,000; (iii) to the Dealer Manager, as the Dealer Manager contingent incentive fee paid under the Dealer Manager Agreement, 30%, and (iv) the remaining amount, if any, to the Record Holders of outstanding common units, pro rata based on their percentage interest until such time as the Dealer Manager receives the full amount of the Dealer Manager contingent incentive fee under the Dealer Manager Agreement;·Thereafter, (i) to the Record Holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights, 35%; (ii) to the Record Holders of the Outstanding Class B units, pro rata based on the number of Class B units owned, 35% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class B units outstanding and the denominator of which is 100,000; (iii) the remaining amount to the Record Holders of outstanding common units, pro rata based on their percentage interest. | |||||||||
