Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 – Organization, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Norris Industries, Inc. (“NRIS” or the “Company”) (formerly International Western Petroleum, Inc.), was incorporated on February 19, 2014, as a Nevada corporation. The Company was formed to conduct operations in the oil and gas industry. The Company’s principal operating properties are in the Ellenberger formation in Coleman County, and in Jack County and Palo-Pinto County. Texas. The Company’s production operations are all located in the State of Texas. On April 25, 2018, the Company incorporated a Texas registered subsidiary, Norris Petroleum, Inc., as an operating entity. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Liquidity and Capital Considerations The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company’s business and operations have been adversely affected by and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak and may be adversely affected in the future by other similar outbreaks. As a result of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, including voluntary and mandatory quarantines, travel restrictions and other restrictions, the Company’s operations, and those of its subcontractors, customers and suppliers, have and are anticipated to continue to experience delays or disruptions and temporary suspensions of operations. In addition, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations have been and are likely to continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. The timeline and potential magnitude of the COVID-19 outbreak is currently unknown. The continuation or amplification of this virus could continue to more broadly affect the United States and global economy, including our business and operations, and the demand, for oil and gas. The Company has incurred continuing losses since 2016, including a loss of $2,898,132 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020 and $239,105 for the three months ended May 31, 2020. During the three months ended May 31, 2020, the Company received $100,000 in funding from its credit line and incurred cash losses of approximately $140,000 from its operating activities. As of May 31, 2020, the Company had $500,000 available to borrow under its existing credit line with JBB Partners, Inc. (“JBB”), an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and a cash balance of approximately $126,000 and negative working capital of approximately $138,000. The Company’s principal capital and exploration expenditures during next fiscal year are expected to relate to selected well workovers on its Jack and Palo Pinto County acreages. The Company believes that it has the ability to fund its costs for such expenditures from cash on-hand and available funds from its line of credit. In the event that the Company requires additional capital to fund higher operational losses or oil and gas property lease purchases for fiscal year ending February 28, 2021, the Company expects to seek additional capital from one or more sources via restricted private placement sales of equity and debt securities from those other than JBB. However, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to secure the necessary capital to fund its costs on acceptable terms, or at all. If, for any reason, the Company is unable to fund its operations, it would have to undertake other aggressive cost cutting measures and then be subject to possible loss of some of its rights and interests in prospects to curtail operations and forced to forego opportunities or in worst case, cease operations . Use of Estimates The preparation of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Risks and Uncertainties The Company’s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating an emerging business, including the potential risk of business failure. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of the year or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents . Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations. Depletion and depreciation of proved oil properties are calculated on the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved reserves. Such calculations include the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not included in the costs subject to depletion. These costs are assessed periodically for impairment. At the end of each quarter, the unamortized cost of oil and gas properties, net of related deferred income taxes, is limited to the sum of the estimated future after-tax net revenues from proved properties, after giving effect to cash flow hedge positions, discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties, adjusted for related income tax effects. Costs in excess of the present value of estimated future net revenues are charged to impairment expense. This limitation is known as the “ceiling test,” and is based on SEC rules for the full cost oil and gas accounting method. The Company capitalizes pre-acquisition costs directly identifiable with specific properties when the acquisition of such properties is probable. Capitalized pre-acquisition costs are presented in the balance sheet. Equipment Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments which extend the life or improve existing equipment are capitalized. Upon disposition or retirement of equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 10 years. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Revenue Recognition ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) The Company’s revenue is comprised entirely of revenue from exploration and production activities. The Company’s oil is sold primarily to wholesalers and others that sell product to end use customers. Natural gas is sold primarily to interstate and intrastate natural-gas pipelines, various end-users, local distribution companies, and natural-gas marketers. NGLs are sold primarily to various end-users. Payment is generally received from the customer in the month following delivery. Contracts with customers have varying terms, including spot sales or month-to-month contracts, or contracts with a finite term, where the production from a well or group of wells is sold to one or more customers. The Company recognizes sales revenues for oil, natural gas, and NGLs based on the amount of each product sold to a customer when control transfers to the customer. Generally, control transfers at the time of delivery to the customer at a pipeline interconnect, the tailgate of a processing facility, or as a tanker lifting is completed. Revenue is measured based on the contract price, which may be index-based or fixed, and may include adjustments for market differentials and downstream costs incurred by the customer, including gathering, transportation, and fuel costs. Revenues are recognized for the sale of the Company’s net share of production volumes. Sales on behalf of other working interest owners and royalty interest owners are not recognized as revenues. The Company does not hedge nor forward sell any of its current production via derivative financial contracts. Share-based Compensation The Company estimates the fair value of each share-based compensation award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital. Net Loss per Common Share Basic net loss per common share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss available to Norris Industries, Inc. shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding over the reporting period. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share as the inclusion of these shares would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019: 2020 2019 Stock options - 1,440,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 66,666,667 66,666,667 Convertible debt 14,000,000 10,250,000 Total common shares to be issued 80,666,667 78,356,667 Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash deposits placed with financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At May 31, 2020, $0 of the Company’s cash balances was uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments The Company does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated all transactions through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure consideration. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Liquidity and Capital Considerations | Liquidity and Capital Considerations The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company’s business and operations have been adversely affected by and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak and may be adversely affected in the future by other similar outbreaks. As a result of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, including voluntary and mandatory quarantines, travel restrictions and other restrictions, the Company’s operations, and those of its subcontractors, customers and suppliers, have and are anticipated to continue to experience delays or disruptions and temporary suspensions of operations. In addition, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations have been and are likely to continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. The timeline and potential magnitude of the COVID-19 outbreak is currently unknown. The continuation or amplification of this virus could continue to more broadly affect the United States and global economy, including our business and operations, and the demand, for oil and gas. The Company has incurred continuing losses since 2016, including a loss of $2,898,132 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020 and $239,105 for the three months ended May 31, 2020. During the three months ended May 31, 2020, the Company received $100,000 in funding from its credit line and incurred cash losses of approximately $140,000 from its operating activities. As of May 31, 2020, the Company had $500,000 available to borrow under its existing credit line with JBB Partners, Inc. (“JBB”), an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and a cash balance of approximately $126,000 and negative working capital of approximately $138,000. The Company’s principal capital and exploration expenditures during next fiscal year are expected to relate to selected well workovers on its Jack and Palo Pinto County acreages. The Company believes that it has the ability to fund its costs for such expenditures from cash on-hand and available funds from its line of credit. In the event that the Company requires additional capital to fund higher operational losses or oil and gas property lease purchases for fiscal year ending February 28, 2021, the Company expects to seek additional capital from one or more sources via restricted private placement sales of equity and debt securities from those other than JBB. However, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to secure the necessary capital to fund its costs on acceptable terms, or at all. If, for any reason, the Company is unable to fund its operations, it would have to undertake other aggressive cost cutting measures and then be subject to possible loss of some of its rights and interests in prospects to curtail operations and forced to forego opportunities or in worst case, cease operations . |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties The Company’s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating an emerging business, including the potential risk of business failure. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of the year or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents . |
Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method | Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations. Depletion and depreciation of proved oil properties are calculated on the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved reserves. Such calculations include the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not included in the costs subject to depletion. These costs are assessed periodically for impairment. At the end of each quarter, the unamortized cost of oil and gas properties, net of related deferred income taxes, is limited to the sum of the estimated future after-tax net revenues from proved properties, after giving effect to cash flow hedge positions, discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties, adjusted for related income tax effects. Costs in excess of the present value of estimated future net revenues are charged to impairment expense. This limitation is known as the “ceiling test,” and is based on SEC rules for the full cost oil and gas accounting method. The Company capitalizes pre-acquisition costs directly identifiable with specific properties when the acquisition of such properties is probable. Capitalized pre-acquisition costs are presented in the balance sheet. |
Equipment | Equipment Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments which extend the life or improve existing equipment are capitalized. Upon disposition or retirement of equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 10 years. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) The Company’s revenue is comprised entirely of revenue from exploration and production activities. The Company’s oil is sold primarily to wholesalers and others that sell product to end use customers. Natural gas is sold primarily to interstate and intrastate natural-gas pipelines, various end-users, local distribution companies, and natural-gas marketers. NGLs are sold primarily to various end-users. Payment is generally received from the customer in the month following delivery. Contracts with customers have varying terms, including spot sales or month-to-month contracts, or contracts with a finite term, where the production from a well or group of wells is sold to one or more customers. The Company recognizes sales revenues for oil, natural gas, and NGLs based on the amount of each product sold to a customer when control transfers to the customer. Generally, control transfers at the time of delivery to the customer at a pipeline interconnect, the tailgate of a processing facility, or as a tanker lifting is completed. Revenue is measured based on the contract price, which may be index-based or fixed, and may include adjustments for market differentials and downstream costs incurred by the customer, including gathering, transportation, and fuel costs. Revenues are recognized for the sale of the Company’s net share of production volumes. Sales on behalf of other working interest owners and royalty interest owners are not recognized as revenues. The Company does not hedge nor forward sell any of its current production via derivative financial contracts. |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-based Compensation The Company estimates the fair value of each share-based compensation award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital. |
Net Loss Per Common Share | Net Loss per Common Share Basic net loss per common share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss available to Norris Industries, Inc. shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding over the reporting period. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share as the inclusion of these shares would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019: 2020 2019 Stock options - 1,440,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 66,666,667 66,666,667 Convertible debt 14,000,000 10,250,000 Total common shares to be issued 80,666,667 78,356,667 |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash deposits placed with financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At May 31, 2020, $0 of the Company’s cash balances was uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. |
Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments The Company does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated all transactions through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure consideration. |
