Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 (unaudited), condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ending June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 (unaudited), condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2016 (unaudited) and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 (unaudited). All such adjustments represent normal recurring items. The financial information contained in this report for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 , and as of June 30, 2016 , is unaudited. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the notes thereto. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glori Energy Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In the first quarter of 2016, ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest--Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" became effective for the Company. The standard moved the presentation of the Company's deferred loan costs from an asset to a contra-liability account thus reducing the liability balance of loans by the amount of the deferred loan costs. The deferred loan costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. The standard was applied retrospectively and accordingly the December 31, 2015 previously reported total current and non-current loan principal balance of $10,525,000 is now shown net of total deferred loan costs of $227,000 and the June 30, 2016 total current and non-current loan principal balance of $10,260,000 is now shown net of total deferred loan costs of $156,000 . The change did not have an impact to net income. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15: Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 asserts that management should evaluate whether there are relevant conditions or events that are known and reasonably knowable that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued when applicable. If conditions or events at the date the financial statements are issued raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosures are required which will enable users of the financial statements to understand the conditions or events as well as management’s evaluation and plan. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter; early application is permitted. Glori adopted this standard during the second quarter of 2016. Early adoption did not have an impact on the financial statements. See NOTE 3 of this report for a discussion about liquidity considerations and Glori's ability to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Liquidity Considerations and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern	LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN As a small company with an emerging technology, the Company has generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. The downturn in the oil market has resulted in a decrease in oil revenues from Company-owned oil properties, and a decrease in AERO services revenues as the exploration & production ("E&P") industry significantly reduced its capital expenditures. As a result of these factors, the Company continues to generate negative cash flows from operations. The significant decrease in oil prices has also made it difficult for the Company to execute on its strategy of acquiring producing properties, which would contribute to its revenues and cash flows, due to potential sellers' reluctance to sell at distressed prices. Additionally, the current oil price environment has negatively affected the availability of capital to Glori and the E&P industry in general. These factors have also resulted in a dramatic decrease in the Company's share price, which also impacts the ability to raise new capital. Cash has decreased from $8.4 million at December 31, 2015 to $3.1 million at June 30, 2016 due to the net cash used in operating activities of $3.3 million , the repayment of debt of $316 thousand , capital expenditures of $1.4 million and other uses of $300 thousand . As of August 2016, the Company does not have lines of credit available to it. As a result of the negative operating cash flows, the Company will need to raise capital over the next six to nine months to fund its operations and to repay or refinance the term note of $10.2 million , owed by GEP, which matures March 2017. The Company may have difficulty obtaining such additional financing as a result of the decrease in oil prices, its negative cash flows from operations and the significant decrease in its share price. In order to address this challenging environment, the Company made significant cost reductions, both in its administrative and professional staff, and lease operating expenses. The Company has limited its capital spending primarily to the implementation of its AERO technology at the Coke field, most of which was completed in the first quarter of 2016. Additionally, the Company is actively pursuing alternatives to raise capital in order to funds its operations and position the Company to take advantage of identified opportunities to acquire abandoned fields which the Company believes have significant economic quantities of oil remaining and are compatible with its AERO technology. In August 2015, the Company implemented the first phase of AERO at the Coke field. In March 2016 it completed installation of phase II of AERO implementation. Phase II incorporates the addition of two AERO injection wells to increase the proportion of the field that is impacted by AERO technology. The Company now has three injection wells running in total. Additionally, the Company applied to the United States Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office (“LPO”) for a $150 million loan guarantee in connection with a project applying AERO to previously abandoned reservoirs in the U. S. Based on LPO’s evaluation of Part I of the application, in March 2016, LPO invited the Company to submit Part II of its application. In May 2016, the Company submitted Part II of the application, however, the ultimate outcome of the application and whether a loan guarantee will be issued cannot be predicted. It is currently anticipated that the loan guarantee, if issued, will fund up to 75% of project costs. The balance would need to be raised and contributed by the Company. If the loan guarantee is ultimately not issued by the LPO, or if the final terms of the loan guarantee are not advantageous, the Company plans to seek alternative financing to enable it to acquire and redevelop certain identified abandoned fields which fit its criteria. On March 18, 2016, GEP entered into an amendment to the credit agreement on the senior secured term loan facility with its lender, Stellus Capital Investment Corporation, which had the effect of removing the financial ratio covenants and the semi-annual collateral value redeterminations until maturity in March 2017 (see NOTE 7 ). On October 23, 2015, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC indicating that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Capital Market under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was afforded 180 calendar days, or until April 20, 2016, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In order to regain compliance, shares of the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum bid closing price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, subject to NASDAQ's discretion to increase such ten-day period. On April 25, 2016, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ granting the Company an additional 180 days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company has until October 17, 2016 to regain compliance with the bid price requirement. In addition, the Company must continue to meet the continued listing criteria, including maintaining stockholders' equity of at least $2.5 million . As a result of its net losses, including the impairment of oil and gas properties incurred in 2014 and 2015 as a result of the decrease in oil prices, the Company's stockholders' equity was below the required $2.5 million as of June 30, 2016. In order to maintain its NASDAQ listing, the Company will need to raise equity in the near-term in amounts sufficient to satisfy the $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirement. Additionally, based on the Company's recent share price, in order to meet the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement, the Company would most likely have to implement a reverse stock split which requires the approval of shareholders at a shareholder meeting. In light of the Company's non-compliance with these continuing listing requirements, the Company may elect to voluntarily delist from the NASDAQ. The Company is currently evaluating its alternatives. If the Company's common stock is delisted, it would likely trade in the over-the-counter market. In the event of termination of the Company's NASDAQ listing, the Company may determine to re-apply to re-establish its NASDAQ listing at such later date as the Company is able to meet the initial listing requirements. Such NASDAQ delisting or further declines in our stock price could impair our ability to raise additional capital to finance our operations and additional capital expenditures and could significantly increase the ownership dilution to shareholders caused by our issuing equity or other transactions. Glori's listing does not affect the Company’s business operations or its SEC reporting requirements and does not cause a default under any material agreement. The significant risks, uncertainties, significant working capital deficit, historical operating losses and resulting cash used in operations described above raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments, in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the going concern uncertainty.

The Etzold Field was originally purchased in 2010 as a greenfield lab to advance the development of the Company's AERO technology, and the operations have historically been included in the Company's Oil and Gas Segment (see NOTE 12 ). With the purchase of the larger Coke Field and with the Company's future acquisition plans, the Company made the strategic decision to divest the Etzold Field. Prior to the sale the Company had associated net assets of $89,000 , which were composed primarily of the purchase and development charges less accumulated depreciation and depletion and associated liabilities of $435,000 related to the plugging and abandonment obligation associated with the Etzold Field. In exchange for the leasehold interest in the field, the Company received $75,000 and the purchaser's assumption of the related asset retirement obligation. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of $422,000 . For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had revenues of $41 thousand and $57 thousand , respectively, and a net loss of $20 thousand and $104 thousand , respectively, associated with the Etzold Field. On June 1, 2015, GEP executed a purchase and sale agreement to acquire certain proved oil and gas mineral leases in Refugio County, Texas (the “Bonnie View Field”) from a third party seller for $2,644,000 . The carrying value of the Bonnie View Field assets is also increased by an asset retirement obligation associated with plugging and abandoning the Bonnie View Field assets of $432,000 . The effective date of the purchase was May 1, 2015. The Bonnie View Field does not meet the definition of a significant acquisition which would require pro forma financial information.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FASB standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standard also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. The following table summarizes the financial assets measured at fair value, on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 (in thousands) : Fair value measurements using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2015 Short-term commodity derivatives, asset $ — $ 3,411 $ — $ 3,411 Fair value measurements using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Unaudited) June 30, 2016 Short-term commodity derivatives, asset $ — $ 1,243 $ — $ 1,243 The Level 2 instruments presented in the table above consists of derivative instruments made up of commodity price swaps at December 31, 2015 and commodity swaps and put and call options at June 30, 2016. The fair values of the Company's commodity derivative instruments are based upon the NYMEX futures prices of oil compared to the contracted per barrel rate to be received or paid. For the swaps, the Company records a liability associated with the futures contracts when the futures price of oil is greater than the contracted per barrel rate to be received and an asset when the futures price of oil is less than the contracted per barrel rate to be received. For the oil put and call options (collars), the Company records a liability when the futures price of oil is greater than the contracted ceiling price to be received and an asset when the futures prices of oil is lower than the contracted floor to be received.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage risks related to changes in oil prices. The Company is currently engaged in oil commodity price swaps where a fixed price is received from the counterparty for a portion of the Company's oil production. In return the Company pays a floating price based upon NYMEX oil prices. In June 2016, Glori executed option contracts including oil call agreements as well as oil put agreements covering certain portions of our anticipated 2017 oil production. No net premiums were paid as a result of these option agreements. Although these arrangements are designed to reduce the downside risk of a decline in oil prices on the covered production, they conversely limit potential income from increases in oil prices and expose the Company to the credit risk of counterparties. The Company endeavors to manage the default risk of counterparties by engaging in these agreements with only high credit quality companies and through the continuous monitoring of their performance. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company had the following open positions on outstanding commodity derivative contracts: Period Notional Amount (Bbl) Swap ($/Bbl) Floor ($/Bbl) Ceiling ($/Bbl) July 2016 - December 2016 39,300 $ 82.46 January 2017 - June 2017 18,100 $ 42.50 $ 55.60 The derivative contracts are carried at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as assets or liabilities. Derivatives for oil are netted on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are all contracts with the same counterparty. The following table presents the fair value and balance sheet location of each classification of commodity derivative contracts on a gross basis without regard to same-counterparty netting: Fair value as of December 31, 2015 June 30, 2016 Asset commodity derivatives: Current assets 3,411 1,278 Current liabilities — (35 ) Total commodity derivatives 3,411 1,243 The Company has not elected to designate any of these as derivative contracts for hedge accounting. Accordingly, for each reporting period the contracts are marked-to-market and the resulting unrealized changes in the fair value of the assets and liabilities are recognized on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Long-Term Debt	LONG-TERM DEBT On June 11, 2012, the Company entered into a secured term promissory note in the amount of $8.0 million . The note contained a 10.0% annual interest rate subject to increase based upon an increase in the prime rate. The loan was secured by substantially all assets of the Company with the exception of the Coke Field Assets. The lender also received a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s stock which was exchanged for 18,208 common shares upon consummation of the Merger. Equal monthly principal payments were due over 27 months beginning in April 2013 through June 2015 plus an end of term charge of $280,000 . The loan agreement contained covenants which place restrictions on the incurrence of debt, liens and capital expenditures. On March 2, 2015 the Company elected to prepay the entire remaining indebtedness. The payment included remaining principal of $888,000 and the end of term charge of $280,000 . On March 14, 2014 in connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Coke Field, the Company entered into a financing agreement of $18.0 million in order to fund a portion of the $38.0 million in cash required for the acquisition. The $18.0 million note is a senior secured term loan of GEP and is secured by the Coke Field and shares of common stock of GEP. The loan has a three year term bearing interest at 11.0% per annum, subject to increase upon a LIBOR rate increase above 1% . The credit agreement required quarterly principal payments equal to 50% of the excess cash flows, as defined, from GEP's oil properties during the first year and 75% thereafter subject to a minimum quarterly principal payment of $112,500 plus interest. The loan was funded net of closing costs of 2% , or $360,000 , which is shown on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of proceeds and amortized over the loan term. The loan agreement contains covenants which place restrictions on GEP’s ability to incur additional debt, incur other liens, make other investments, capital expenditures and the sale of assets. On March 18, 2016, GEP entered into an amendment to the credit agreement on the senior secured term loan facility with its lender, Stellus Capital Investment Corporation, which had the effect of removing the previously required financial ratio covenants and semi-annual collateral value redetermination until maturity in March 2017. In connection with the amendment, the interest rate on the loan increased to 13.0% per annum from 11.0% . The additional 2.0% may be “paid in kind”, and added to the principal amount, or paid in cash at the election of the Company. In addition, principal of $37,500 plus interest is payable monthly compared to the minimum principal payments of $112,500 plus interest which was previously payable quarterly. Without this amendment we likely would not have been able to meet all of our financial covenants in the future. For the three months ending June 30, 2016, the Company elected the additional 2.0% interest to be paid in kind and debt increased by $52,000 . As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 the outstanding loan balance was $10.5 million and $10.2 million , respectively. Maturities on long-term debt during the next five years are as follows (in thousands).

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Loss Per Share	LOSS PER SHARE The Company follows current guidance for share-based payments which are considered as participating securities. Share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid, are designated as participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per share. However, in periods of net loss, participating securities other than common stock are not included in the calculation of basic loss per share because there is not a contractual obligation for owners of these securities to share in the Company’s losses, and the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share ( in thousands, except per share data ): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2016 2015 2016 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Numerator: Net loss $ (4,916 ) $ (3,247 ) $ (7,900 ) $ (6,648 ) Denominator: Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic 31,803 32,050 31,684 32,026 Effect of dilutive securities — — — — Weighted-average common shares - diluted 31,803 32,050 31,684 32,026 Net loss per common share - basic and diluted $ (0.15 ) $ (0.10 ) $ (0.25 ) $ (0.21 ) The following weighted average securities outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 were not included in the calculation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have been anti-dilutive ( in thousands ): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2016 2015 2016 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Common stock warrants ($10 strike price) 5,321 5,321 5,321 5,321 Common stock options 2,048 2,714 2,154 2,754 Restricted shares 132 427 102 565

Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES At December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 , the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax reporting purposes of approximately $64.3 million and $71.3 million , respectively, which will begin to expire in the year 2025, and tax credits of approximately $504,000 , which will begin to expire in 2027 . The NOL carry forward has been reduced by approximately $5.4 million of loss carryforwards that management estimates will expire due to limitations from changes in control. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 varies from the statutory rate primarily due to the effect of the valuation allowance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 the Company had an income tax benefit of $188,000 and $171,000 , respectively, due to a reduction in taxes payable on foreign income as the Company revised its methodology for service fee applications charged to foreign subsidiaries. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company had an income tax benefit of $6,000 due to the utilization of net operating losses to recover previously paid foreign income taxes.

Segment Information

Segment Information	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2016
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company generates revenues through the production and sale of oil and natural gas (the “Oil and Gas Segment”) and through the Company’s AERO services provided to third party oil companies (the “AERO Services Segment”). The Oil and Gas Segment produces and develops the Company’s acquired oil and natural gas interests. The revenues derived from the segment are from sales to the first purchaser. The Company uses two such arrangements for oil sales, one for the Coke and Quitman fields located in Wood County, Texas and one for the Bonnie View Field in Refugio County, Texas. The AERO Services Segment derives revenues from external customers by providing the Company’s biotechnology solution of enhanced oil recovery through a two -step process consisting of (1) the Analysis Phase and (2) the Field Deployment Phase. The Analysis Phase work is a reservoir screening process whereby the Company obtains field samples and evaluates the Company’s potential for AERO Services Segment success. This process is performed at the Company’s Houston laboratory facility. The science and technology expenses shown on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations are the expenses that are directly attributable to the Analysis Phase and expenses associated with the Company’s on-going research and development of its technology and are included in the "Corporate Segment". In the Field Deployment Phase, the Company deploys skid mounted injection equipment used to inject nutrient solution in the oil reservoir. The work in this phase is performed in oil fields of customers located in the United States and internationally and in the Company’s own oil fields. The service operations expense shown on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations are the expenses that are directly attributable to the Field Deployment Phase and included in the AERO Services Segment. Earnings of industry segments exclude income taxes, interest income, interest expense and unallocated corporate expenses. Although the AERO Services Segment provides enhanced oil recovery services to the Oil and Gas Segment, the Company does not utilize intercompany charges. The direct costs of the services such as the injection solution, transportation of the solution and expenses associated with the injection are charged directly to the Oil and Gas Segment. All of the AERO Services Segment capital expenditures and depreciation expenses associated with injection equipment are viewed as part of the AERO Services Segment. The following table sets forth the operating segments of the Company and the associated revenues and expenses (in thousands) : Oil and Gas AERO Services Corporate Total (Unaudited) Three months ended June 30, 2015 Revenues $ 2,136 $ 496 $ — $ 2,632 Total operating expenses 2,500 534 2,163 5,197 Depreciation, depletion and amortization 912 109 18 1,039 Loss from operations (1,276 ) (147 ) (2,181 ) (3,604 ) Other expense, net (980 ) — (520 ) (1,500 ) Income tax benefit — — (188 ) (188 ) Net loss $ (2,256 ) $ (147 ) $ (2,513 ) $ (4,916 ) Oil and Gas AERO Services Corporate Total (Unaudited) Three months ended June 30, 2016 Revenues $ 1,163 $ 72 $ — $ 1,235 Total operating expenses 1,240 213 1,712 3,165 Depreciation, depletion and amortization 372 57 67 496 Loss from operations (449 ) (198 ) (1,779 ) (2,426 ) Other expense, net (437 ) — (390 ) (827 ) Income tax benefit — — (6 ) (6 ) Net loss $ (886 ) $ (198 ) $ (2,163 ) $ (3,247 ) Oil and Gas AERO Services Corporate Total (Unaudited) Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Revenues $ 4,136 $ 1,063 $ — $ 5,199 Total operating expenses 4,892 1,055 4,355 10,302 Depreciation, depletion and amortization 1,865 209 33 2,107 Loss from operations (2,621 ) (201 ) (4,388 ) (7,210 ) Other income (expense), net 389 — (1,250 ) (861 ) Income tax benefit — — (171 ) (171 ) Net loss (2,232 ) (201 ) (5,467 ) (7,900 ) Oil and Gas AERO Services Corporate Total (Unaudited) Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Revenues $ 2,187 $ 246 $ — $ 2,433 Total operating expenses 3,131 486 3,464 7,081 Depreciation, depletion and amortization 747 147 108 1,002 Loss from operations (1,691 ) (387 ) (3,572 ) (5,650 ) Other expense, net (282 ) — (722 ) (1,004 ) Income tax benefit — — (6 ) (6 ) Net loss (1,973 ) (387 ) (4,288 ) (6,648 )

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 (unaudited), condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ending June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 (unaudited), condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2016 (unaudited) and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 (unaudited). All such adjustments represent normal recurring items. The financial information contained in this report for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 , and as of June 30, 2016 , is unaudited. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the notes thereto.
Principles of Consolidation	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glori Energy Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	In the first quarter of 2016, ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest--Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" became effective for the Company. The standard moved the presentation of the Company's deferred loan costs from an asset to a contra-liability account thus reducing the liability balance of loans by the amount of the deferred loan costs. The deferred loan costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. The standard was applied retrospectively and accordingly the December 31, 2015 previously reported total current and non-current loan principal balance of $10,525,000 is now shown net of total deferred loan costs of $227,000 and the June 30, 2016 total current and non-current loan principal balance of $10,260,000 is now shown net of total deferred loan costs of $156,000 . The change did not have an impact to net income. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15: Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 asserts that management should evaluate whether there are relevant conditions or events that are known and reasonably knowable that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued when applicable. If conditions or events at the date the financial statements are issued raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosures are required which will enable users of the financial statements to understand the conditions or events as well as management’s evaluation and plan. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter; early application is permitted. Glori adopted this standard during the second quarter of 2016. Early adoption did not have an impact on the financial statements. See NOTE 3 of this report for a discussion about liquidity considerations and Glori's ability to continue as a going concern.
