BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY [Abstract] | |
BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY | NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY Trecora Resources, formerly Arabian American Development Company, (the "Company") was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1967. The Company's principal business activities are the manufacturing of various specialty petrochemical products, specialty waxes and providing custom processing services. The Company owns 33% of a Saudi Arabian joint stock company, Al Masane Al Kobra Mining Company ("AMAK") (see Note 11) and approximately 55% of the capital stock of a Nevada mining company, Pioche Ely Valley Mines, Inc. ("PEVM"), which does not conduct any substantial business activity but owns undeveloped properties in the United States. The Company's petrochemical operations are primarily conducted through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Texas Oil and Chemical Co. II, Inc. ("TOCCO"). TOCCO owns all of the capital stock of South Hampton Resources, Inc. ("SHR") and Trecora Chemical, Inc. ("TC"). SHR owns all of the capital stock of Gulf State Pipe Line Company, Inc. ("GSPL"). SHR owns and operates a specialty petrochemical product facility near Silsbee, Texas which manufactures high purity hydrocarbons used primarily in polyethylene, packaging, polypropylene, expandable polystyrene, poly-iso/urethane foams, Canadian tar sands, and in the catalyst support industry. TC owns and operates a facility located in Pasadena, Texas which manufactures specialty waxes and provides custom processing services. These specialty waxes are used in the production of coatings, hot melt adhesives and lubricants. GSPL owns and operates pipelines that connect the SHR facility to a natural gas line, to SHR's truck and rail loading terminal and to a major petroleum pipeline owned by an unaffiliated third party. We attribute revenues to countries based upon the origination of the transaction. All of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, originated in the United States. In addition, all of our long-lived assets are in the United States. For convenience in this report, the terms "Company", "our", "us" or "we" may be used to refer to Trecora Resources and its subsidiaries. Certain reclassifications have been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the year ended December 31, 2016, related to our adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-17 as noted below and in Note 2. The impact of the adoption ASU 2015-17 on the Company's previously issued December 31, 2016, balance sheet is as follows: As Originally Reported As Retrospectively Adjusted (in thousands) Deferred income tax asset, current $ 1,615 $ - Total current assets 57,562 55,947 Total assets 292,099 290,484 Deferred income tax liability, noncurrent 24,698 23,083 Total liabilities 127,723 126,108 Total liabilities and equity 292,099 290,484 |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments Inventories Trade Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Notes Receivable Plant, Pipeline and Equipment Interest costs incurred to finance expenditures during construction phase are capitalized as part of the historical cost of constructing the assets. Construction commences with the development of the design and ends when the assets are ready for use. Capitalized interest costs are included in plant, pipeline and equipment and are depreciated over the service life of the related assets. Labor costs incurred to self-construct assets are capitalized as part of the historical cost the assets. Construction commences with the development of the design and ends when the assets are ready for use. Capitalized labor costs are included in plant, pipeline and equipment and are depreciated over the service life of the related assets. Platinum catalyst is included in plant, pipeline and equipment at cost. Amortization of the catalyst is based upon cost less estimated salvage value of the catalyst using the straight line method over the estimated useful life (see Note 9). Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Definite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, licenses, permits and developed technology that were acquired as part of the Acquisition of TC. The majority of these assets are being amortized using discounted estimated future cash flows over the term of the related agreements. Intangible assets associated with customer relationships are being amortized using the discounted estimated future cash flows method based upon assumed rates of annual customer attrition. We continually evaluate the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Once these assets are fully amortized, they will be removed from the consolidated balance sheets. Business Combinations and Related Business Acquisition Costs Business acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and are reported as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. We define these costs to include finder's fees, advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional consulting fees, as well as, travel associated with the evaluation and effort to acquire specific businesses. Investment in AMAK We assess our investment in AMAK for impairment when events are identified, or there are changes in circumstances that may have an adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. We consider recoverable ore reserves, changes in commodity prices, and the amount and timing of the cash flows to be generated by the production of those reserves, as well as, recent equity transactions within AMAK. Other Assets Long-Lived Assets Impairment The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis although other factors including the state of the economy are considered. Revenue Recognition – Revenues received in advance of future sales of products or prior to the performance of services are presented as deferred revenues. Shipping and Handling Costs - Retirement Plan Environmental Liabilities Other Liabilities Net Income Per Share Foreign Currency Management Estimates Share-Based Compensation Guarantees – a) We have a non-contingent and immediate obligation to stand ready to make payments if certain future triggering events occur. For certain guarantees, a liability is recognized for the stand ready obligation at the inception of the guarantee; and b) We have an obligation to make future payments if those certain future triggering events do occur. A liability for the payment under the guarantee is recognized when 1) it becomes probable that one or more future events will occur, triggering the requirement to make payments under the guarantee and 2) when the payment can be reasonably estimated. Derivatives Income Taxes Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issues is subject to management's assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at that time. We use a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. To the extent that our assessment of such tax position changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. We report tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. On December 22, 2017, Public Law No. 115-97 known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was enacted. The TCJA includes a number of changes to existing U.S. tax laws that impact the Company, most notably a reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35 percent to a flat 21 percent for tax years effective January 1, 2018. The TCJA also implements a territorial tax system, provides for a one-time deemed repatriation tax on unrepatriated foreign earnings, eliminates the alternative minimum tax (AMT), makes AMT credit carryforwards refundable, and permits the acceleration of depreciation for certain assets placed into service after September 27, 2017. In addition the TJCA creates prospective changes beginning in 2018, including repeal of the domestic manufacturing deduction, acceleration of tax revenue recognition, capitalization of research and development expenditures, additional limitations on executive compensation and limitations on the deductibility of interest. The Company has elected to recognize the income tax effects of the TCJA in its financial statements in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118), which provides guidance for the application of ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes Subsequent Events New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue Recognition Revenue from Contracts with Customers In November 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), In March 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 , Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In January 2017 the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) In February 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . |

ACQUISITION OF B PLANT [Abstract] | |
ACQUISITION OF B PLANT | NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF B PLANT On May 2, 2016, we purchased the idle BASF facility adjacent to our TC facility in exchange for $2.0 million in cash, transaction costs of approximately $11,000 plus an earnout provision calculated through calendar year 2020 based upon revenue generated by the facility but limited to $1.8 million. The cash payment was funded by working capital. The purchased facility includes production equipment similar to TC's plus equipment that broadens TC's capabilities and potential markets. The 6.5-acre site also includes substantial storage capacity, several rail and truck loading sites and utility tie-ins to TC. We refer to the facility as "B Plant". We have accounted for the purchase in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805"). In accordance with ASC 805, we used our best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible assets and liabilities acquired at the acquisition date.

CONCENTRATIONS OF REVENUES AND CREDIT RISK [Abstract] | |
CONCENTRATIONS OF REVENUES AND CREDIT RISK | NOTE 4 - CONCENTRATIONS OF REVENUES AND CREDIT RISK We sell our products and services to companies in the chemical, plastics, and petroleum industries. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral from our customers. For the year ended December 31, 2017, one customer accounted for 19.6% of petrochemical product revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2016, one customer accounted for 20.1% of petrochemical product revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2015, one customer accounted for 20.1% of petrochemical product revenue. The associated accounts receivable balances for those customers were approximately $5.8 million at December 31, 2017, and $5.1 million at December 31, 2016. The carrying amount of accounts receivable approximates fair value at December 31, 2017, and 2016. Accounts receivable serves as collateral for our amended and restated loan agreement (see Note 13). We market our products in many foreign jurisdictions. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, petrochemical product sales revenue in foreign jurisdictions accounted for approximately 20.8%, 23.5%, and 26.0% of total product sales revenue, respectively. SHR utilizes one major supplier for its feedstock supply. The feedstock is a commodity product commonly available from other suppliers if needed. The percentage of feedstock purchased from the supplier during 2017, 2016, and 2015 was 100% 99.4% and 100%, respectively. At December 31, 2017, and 2016, we owed the supplier approximately $8.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively for feedstock purchases. We hold our cash with various financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times during the year, cash balances may exceed this limit. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and do not believe we are exposed to any significant risk of loss related to cash. |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, taxes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of variable rate long term debt and notes payable reflect recent market transactions and approximate carrying value. We used other observable inputs that would qualify as Level 2 inputs to make our assessment of the approximate fair value of our cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, taxes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, other liabilities, notes payable and variable rate long term debt. The fair value of the derivative instruments are described below. We measure fair value by ASC Topic 820 Fair Value. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard amends numerous accounting pronouncements but does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances. ASC Topic 820 emphasizes that fair value, among other things, is based on exit price versus entry price, should include assumptions about risk such as nonperformance risk in liability fair values, and is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. When considering the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Commodity Financial Instruments We periodically enter into financial instruments to hedge the cost of natural gasoline (the primary feedstock) and natural gas (used as fuel to operate the plants). We use financial swaps on feedstock and options on natural gas to limit the effect of significant fluctuations in price on operating results. We assess the fair value of the financial swaps on feedstock using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 of fair value hierarchy). At December 31, 2017, and 2016, we had no derivative contracts outstanding. For additional information see Note 22. Interest Rate Swaps In March 2008 we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Bank of America related to the $10.0 million term loan secured by plant, pipeline and equipment. The interest rate swap was designed to minimize the effect of changes in the LIBOR rate. We had designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic 815 (see Note 22); however, due to the new debt agreements associated with the Acquisition, we believed that the hedge was no longer entirely effective. The agreement terminated in December 2017. We assessed the fair value of the interest rate swap using a present value model that includes quoted LIBOR rates and the nonperformance risk of the Company and Bank of America based on the Credit Default Swap Market (Level 2 of fair value hierarchy). Since the agreement terminated in December 2017, there was no outstanding liability at December 31, 2017. The following item was measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2016: Fair Value Measurements Using December 31, 2016 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (thousands of dollars) Liabilities: Interest rate swap $ 58 $ - $ 58 $ - We have consistently applied valuation techniques in all periods presented and believe we have obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts we hold. |

INVENTORIES | NOTE 8 – INVENTORIES Inventories include the following at December 31: 2017 2016 (thousands of dollars) Raw material $ 3,703 $ 3,627 Work in process 27 12 Finished products 14,720 14,232 Total inventory $ 18,450 $ 17,871 Inventory serves as collateral for our amended and restated loan agreement with a domestic bank (see Note 13). Effective January 1, 2017, we changed the inventory basis of SHR to FIFO. We believe that the use of FIFO more accurately reflects current inventory valuation. The drop in crude oil prices over the last several years has caused LIFO value of inventory to be above the FIFO value for each period presented. There was no LIFO reserve in any of the periods in this filing; therefore, no change is reflected in our current statements for the retrospective application. Prior to this change, the difference between the calculated value of inventory under the FIFO and LIFO bases generated either a recorded LIFO reserve (i.e., where FIFO value exceeds the LIFO value) or an unrecorded negative LIFO reserve (i.e., where LIFO value exceeds the FIFO value). In the latter case, in order to ensure that inventory was reported at the lower of cost or market and in accordance with ASC 330-10, we did not increase the stated value of our inventory to the LIFO value. At December 31, 2016, LIFO value of petrochemical inventory exceeded FIFO; therefore, in accordance with the above policy, no LIFO reserve was recorded. Inventory included products in transit valued at approximately $3.7 million and $2.1 million at December 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively. |

INVESTMENT IN AL MASANE AL KOBRA MINING COMPANY ("AMAK") | NOTE 11 - INVESTMENT IN AL MASANE AL KOBRA MINING COMPANY ("AMAK") We have concluded that we have significant influence over the operating and financial policies of AMAK and, accordingly, should account for our investment in AMAK using the equity method. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, we had a non-controlling equity interest of approximately $45.1 million and $49.4 million, respectively. We have received and attached to this Form 10-K the financial statements of AMAK prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America as of December 31, 2017, and 2016, and for each of the three years ended December 31, 2017. These financial statements have been prepared in the functional currency of AMAK which is the Saudi Riyal (SR). In June 1986 the SR was officially pegged to the U.S. Dollar (USD) at a fixed exchange rate of 1 USD to 3.75 SR. The summarized results of operation and financial position for AMAK are as follows: Results of Operations Years Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 (Thousands of Dollars) Sales $ 36,435 $ 9,921 $ 50,744 Gross loss (6,869 ) (17,211 ) (10,437 ) General, administrative and other expenses 9,903 9,690 8,796 Loss from operations $ (16,772 ) $ (26,901 ) $ (19,233 ) Gain on settlement with former operator - 17,425 - Net loss $ (16,772 ) $ (9,476 ) $ (19,233 ) Depreciation and amortization for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 was $22.4 million, $11.7 million and $23.2 million, respectively. Therefore, net income before depreciation and amortization was as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 (Thousands of Dollars) Net income before depreciation and amortization $ 5,647 $ 2,196 $ 4,016 Financial Position December 31, 2017 2016 (Thousands of Dollars) Current assets $ 23,333 $ 22,860 Noncurrent assets 237,875 251,741 Total assets $ 261,208 $ 274,601 Current liabilities $ 24,439 $ 8,005 Long term liabilities 68,837 82,546 Shareholders' equity 167,932 184,050 Total liabilities and equity $ 261,208 $ 274,601 The equity in the income or loss of AMAK reflected on the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, is comprised of the following: 2017 2016 2015 AMAK Net Loss $ (16,772 ) $ (9,476 ) $ (19,233 ) Zakat tax applicable to Saudi Arabian shareholders only - 320 303 AMAK Net Loss before Saudi Arabian shareholders' portion of Zakat $ (16,772 ) $ (9,156 ) $ (18,930 ) Company's share of loss reported by AMAK (33.44% beginning July 10, 2016 and 35.25% prior to July 10, 2016) $ (5,608 ) $ (2,826 ) $ (6,672 ) Amortization of difference between Company's investment in AMAK and Company's share of net assets of AMAK 1,347 1,347 1,347 Equity in loss of AMAK $ (4,261 ) $ (1,479 ) $ (5,325 ) In 2016 the difference between our effective share of income (loss) from our investment and our actual ownership percentage is attributable to the change in our ownership percentage during the third quarter of 2016. A gain of approximately $16.2 million for the difference between our initial investment in AMAK and our share of AMAK's initial assets recorded at fair value was not recognized in 2008. This basis difference is being amortized over the life of AMAK's mine which is estimated to be twelve years beginning with its commencement of production in July 2012 as an adjustment to our equity in AMAK's income or loss. In July 2016 AMAK issued four million shares to provide additional funds for ongoing exploration work and mine start-up activities. Arab Mining Co. ("Armico") purchased 3.75 million shares at SR 20 per share (USD$5.33 per share) and the remaining 250,000 shares are for future use as employee incentives. We did not participate in the offering, thereby reducing our ownership percentage in AMAK to 33.44% from 35.25%. As a result of the equity issuance, our share of the net assets of AMAK increased approximately $3.2 million which we recognized as a gain (with a corresponding increase in our investment) in accordance with ASC 323-10-40-1. The following table shows AMAK shareholders and percentages owned at December 31, 2017: Name Percentage Owned Various Saudi shareholders 46.73 % Trecora Resources 33.44 % Armico 19.83 % Total 100.00 % At December 31, 2017, we had a receivable from AMAK of approximately $121,000 relating to unreimbursed travel and Board expenses which is included in prepaid and other assets. We assess our investment in AMAK for impairment when events are identified, or there are changes in circumstances that may have an adverse effect on the fair value or recoverability of the investment. We consider recoverable ore reserves and the amount and timing of the cash flows to be generated by the production of those reserves, as well as, recent equity transactions within AMAK. No impairment charges were recorded in 2017, 2016, or 2015. |

Loan fees of $501,000 and $748,000 net of accumulated amortization are included with long term debt and long term obligations at December 31, 2017 and 2016. Amortization of loan fees amounted to approximately $247,000, $272,000, and $272,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. (A) On March 28, 2017, we entered into a Second Amendment to the ARC with terms which increased the Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial covenant of 3.25x to 4.00x at March 31, 2017, and 4.25x at June 30, 2017, before stepping down to 3.75x at September 30, 2017, 3.50x at December 31, 2017, and reverting to the original financial covenant of 3.25x at March 31, 2018.

II, Inc. ("TOCCO"), South Hampton Resources, Inc. ("SHR"), Gulf State Pipe Line Company, Inc. ("GSPL"), and Trecora Chemical, Inc. ("TC") (SHR, GSPL and TC collectively the "Guarantors") entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("3rd Amendment") with the lenders which from time to time are parties to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Lenders") and Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders. The Third Amendment increased the Revolving Facility from $40,000,000 to $60,000,000. There were no other changes to the Revolving Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions of the ARC Agreement as amended, TOCCO may (a) borrow, repay and re-borrow revolving loans (collectively, the "Revolving Loans") from time to time during the period ending September 30, 2019, up to but not exceeding at any one time outstanding $60.0 million (the "Revolving Loan Commitment") and (b) request up to $5.0 million of letters of credit and $5.0 million of swingline loans. Each of the issuance of letters of credit and the advance of swingline loans shall be considered usage of the Revolving Loan Commitment. All outstanding loans under the Revolving Loans must be repaid on October 1, 2019. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, TOCCO had long-term outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loans of $35.0 million and $9.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2017, approximately $25.0 million was available to be drawn. (B) Under the ARC Agreement, TOCCO also borrowed $70.0 million in a single advance term loan (the "Acquisition Term Loan") to partially finance the Acquisition. At December 31, 2017, there was a short-term amount of $7.0 million and a long-term amount of $40.3 million outstanding. At December 31, 2016, there was a short-term amount of $8.8 million and a long-term amount of $47.3 million outstanding. (C) Under the ARC Agreement, TOCCO also has the right to borrow $25.0 million in a multiple advance loan (the "Term Loans," together with the Revolving Loans and Acquisition Term Loan, collectively the "Loans"). Borrowing availability under the Term Loans ended on December 31, 2015. The Term Loans convert from a multiple advance loan to a "mini-perm" loan once TOCCO has fulfilled certain obligations such as certification that construction of D Train was completed in a good and workmanlike manner, receipt of applicable permits and releases from governmental authorities, and receipt of releases of liens from the contractor and each subcontractor and supplier. The Loans also include a $40.0 million uncommitted increase option (the "Accordion Option"). As of December 31, 2016, TOCCO had borrowed funds under the agreement aggregating $20.0 million with no additional availability remaining. At December 31, 2017, there was a short-term amount of $1.3 million and a long-term amount of $16.0 million outstanding. At December 31, 2016, there was a short-term amount of $1.7 million and a long-term amount of $17.3 million outstanding. All of the Loans under the ARC Agreement will accrue interest at the lower of (i) a London interbank offered rate ("Eurodollar Rate") plus a margin of between 2.00% and 2.50% based on the total leverage ratio of TOCCO and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, or (ii) a base rate ("Base Rate") equal to the highest of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, the rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. as its prime rate, and Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%, plus a margin of between 1.00% to 1.50% based on the total leverage ratio of TOCCO and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Revolving Loans accrue a commitment fee on the unused portion thereof at a rate between 0.25% and 0.375% based on the total leverage ratio of TOCCO and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Interest on the Revolving Loans is payable quarterly, with principal due and payable at maturity. Interest on the Acquisition Term Loan is payable quarterly using a ten year commercial style amortization, commencing on December 31, 2014. The Acquisition Term Loan is also payable as to principal beginning on December 31, 2014, and continuing on the last business day of each March, June, September and December thereafter, each payment in an amount equal to $1,750,000, provided that the final installment on the September 30, 2019, maturity date shall be in an amount equal to the then outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Acquisition Term Loan. Interest on the Term Loans is payable quarterly using a fifteen year commercial style amortization, with interest only through December 31, 2015, and quarterly principal payments of $333,333 commenced on March 31, 2016. Interest on the Loans is computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. At December 31, 2017, the variable interest rate under the loans was 4.07%. The Loans may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty (Eurodollar Rate Loans are prepayable only on the last days of related interest periods or upon payment of any breakage costs) and the lenders' commitments relative thereto reduced or terminated. Subject to certain exceptions and thresholds, outstanding Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds from: (i) all sales, transfers, licenses, lease or other disposition of any property by TOCCO and Guarantors (other than a permitted transfer); (ii) any equity issuance by TOCCO or the Guarantors; (iii) any debt issuance by TOCCO or the Guarantors; or (iv) the receipt of any cash received by TOCCO or the Guarantors not in the ordinary course of business. Amounts prepaid in connection with the mandatory repayments described above will be applied first, to the principal repayment installments of the Acquisition Term Loan in inverse order of maturity, second, to the principal repayment installments of the Term Loans in inverse order of maturity and, third, to the Revolving Loans in the manner set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. All amounts owing under the ARC Agreement and all obligations under the guarantees will be secured in favor of the Lenders by substantially all of the assets of TOCCO and its subsidiaries and guaranteed by its subsidiaries. The ARC Agreement contains, among other things, customary covenants, including restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the granting of additional liens, the making of investments, the disposition of assets and other fundamental changes, the transactions with affiliates and the declaration of dividends and other restricted payments. The ARC Agreement further includes customary representations and warranties and events of default, and upon occurrence of such events of default the outstanding obligations under the ARC Agreement may be accelerated and become immediately due and payable and the commitment of the Lenders to make loans under the ARC Agreement may be terminated. TOCCO was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2017. Principal payments of long-term debt for the next two years and thereafter ending December 31 are as follows: Year Ending December 31, Long-Term Debt (thousands of dollars) 2018 $ 8,333 2019 91,250 Total $ 99,583 |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Guarantees On October 24, 2010, we executed a limited guarantee in favor of the Saudi Industrial Development Fund ("SIDF") whereby we agreed to guaranty up to 41% of the SIDF loan to AMAK in the principal amount of 330.0 million Saudi Riyals (US$88.0 million) (the "Loan"). The term of the loan is currently through June 2022. As a condition of the Loan, SIDF required all shareholders of AMAK to execute personal or corporate guarantees; as a result, the Company's guarantee is for approximately 135.3 million Saudi Riyals (US$36.1 million). The loan was necessary to continue construction of the AMAK facilities and provide working capital needs. Our current assessment is that the probability of contingent performance is remote based on our analysis of the contingent portion of the guarantee which included but was not limited to the following: (1) the SIDF has historically not called guarantees, (2) the value of the assets exceeds the amount of the loan (3) the other shareholders have indicated that they would prioritize their personal guarantees ahead of the corporate guarantee, and (4) according to Saudi Arabian legal counsel, assets outside of Saudi Arabia are protected from the Saudi Court System. We received no consideration in connection with extending the guarantee and did so to maintain and enhance the value of our investment. Our non-contingent and immediate obligation to stand ready to make payments if the events of default under the guarantee occur was not material to the financial statements. The total amount outstanding to the SIDF at December 31, 2017, and 2016 was 305.0 million and 310.0 million Saudi Riyals (US$81.3 million and $82.7 million), respectively. During 2017, AMAK did not make certain scheduled payments on their loan. AMAK obtained a waiver from SIDF regarding the missed payments and is currently working with SIDF to renegotiate the terms and repayment schedule of the loan agreement. We do not believe that these events will result in any performance under our guarantee. Operating Lease Commitments We have operating leases for the rental of approximately 335 railcars for shipping purposes with expiration dates through 2026. Invoices are received and paid on a monthly basis. The total amount of the commitment is approximately $17.8 million over the next 9 years. We also have an operating lease for our office space in Sugar Land, TX. The expiration date for this lease is January 2018. The total amount of the commitment is less than $10,000. We are in the process of negotiating a new lease for the same space. In addition, we are required to make periodic payments for property taxes, utilities and common area operating expenses. In addition, we have operating leases for other equipment such as forklifts and copiers with varying expiration dates through 2020. The total amount of the commitment is less than $50,000. Future minimum property and equipment lease payments under the non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2017, are as follows: Year Ending December 31, (thousands of dollars) 2018 $ 3,393 2019 3,341 2020 3,250 2021 3,120 2022 1,498 Thereafter 3,177 Total $ 17,779 Rental expense for these operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 was $4.4 million, $4.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Litigation From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future. On March 21, 2011, Mr. El Khalidi filed suit against the Company in Texas alleging breach of contract and other claims. The 88th Judicial District Court of Hardin County, Texas dismissed all claims and counterclaims for want of prosecution in this matter on July 24, 2013. The Ninth Court of Appeals subsequently affirmed the dismissal for want of prosecution and the Supreme Court of Texas denied Mr. El Khalidi's petition for review. On May 1, 2014, Mr. El Khalidi refiled his lawsuit against the Company for breach of contract and defamation in the 356th Judicial District Court of Hardin County, Texas. The case was transferred to the 88th Judicial District Court of Hardin County, Texas. On September 1, 2016, the Trial Court dismissed all of Mr. El Khalidi's claims and causes of action with prejudice. On November 9, 2017, the 9th Court of Appeals affirmed the Trial Court's dismissal. Mr. El Khalidi filed a petition for review with the Supreme Court of Texas on January 23, 2018. Liabilities of approximately $1.0 million remain recorded, and the options will continue to accrue in accordance with their own terms until all matters are resolved. Supplier Agreements – From time to time, we may incur shortfall fees due to feedstock purchases being below the minimum amounts as prescribed by our agreements with our suppliers. The shortfall fee expenses were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015. Environmental Remediation Amounts charged to expense for various activities related to environmental monitoring, compliance, and improvements were approximately $593,000 in 2017, $622,000 in 2016 and $604,000 in 2015. |

Compensation expense of approximately $0, $49,000 and $97,000 was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, related to the options awarded to Mr. El Khalidi. Approximately $413,000 was reversed during 2012 due to the performance condition associated with 200,000 shares in options not being met as required by the terms of the award by June 30, 2012. Previously, on May 9, 2010, the Board of Directors determined that Mr. El Khalidi forfeited all options and other retirement benefits when he made various demands against the Company and other AMAK Saudi shareholders which would benefit him personally and were not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. As discussed in Note 15 we are currently in litigation with Mr. El Khalidi and in connection therewith, we are currently reviewing our legal right to withdraw the options and benefits. However, as of December 31, 2017, the options vesting upon a cash dividend distribution from AMAK continue to be shown as outstanding. A summary of the status of the Company's stock option and warrant awards is presented below: Stock Options and Warrants Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding at January 1, 2017 1,348,437 $ 7.79 Granted - - Expired - - Exercised (24,850 ) 5.90 Forfeited - - Outstanding at December 31, 2017 1,323,587 $ 7.82 4.2 $ 7,518 Expected to vest 125,000 $ 12.26 6.1 $ 155 Exercisable at December 31, 2017 998,587 $ 8.15 4.6 $ 5,342 The aggregate intrinsic value of options was calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock. At December 31, 2017, options and warrants to purchase approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock were in-the-money. Since no options were granted, the weighted average grant-date fair value per share of options granted during the years 2017, 2016, and 2015 was $0. During 2017, 2016, and 2015 the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was approximately $164,000, $237,000 and $2,300,000 respectively, determined as of the date of option exercise. The Company received approximately $25,000, $11,000 and $123,000 in cash from the exercise of options during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Some of the options were exercised via a net transaction. The tax benefit realized from the exercise was insignificant. A summary of the status of the Company's non-vested options that are expected to vest is presented below: Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share Non-vested at January 1, 2017 492,500 $ 8.25 Granted - - Forfeited - - Vested (167,500 ) 11.04 Non-vested at December 31, 2017 325,000 $ 6.81 Total fair value of options that vested during 2017 was approximately $1,849,000. As of December 31, 2017, there was approximately $0.4 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.2 years. The Company expects to issue shares upon exercise of options and warrants from its treasury stock and authorized but unissued common stock. |

INCOME TAXES [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | NOTE 17 – INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes consisted of the following: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 (thousands of dollars) Current federal provision (benefit) $ (1,202 ) $ 1,691 $ 4,062 Current state provision 282 18 285 Deferred federal provision (benefit) (6,320 ) 8,645 5,367 Deferred state provision 81 150 50 Income tax expense (benefit) $ ( 7,159 ) $ 10,504 $ 9,764 We had no Saudi Arabian income tax expense or liability in 2017, 2016, or 2015. The difference between the effective tax rate in income tax expense and the Federal statutory rate of 35% for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, is as follows: 2017 2016 2015 (thousands of dollars) Income taxes at U.S. statutory rate $ 3,885 $ 10,476 $ 9,927 State taxes, net of federal benefit 235 285 230 Net operating loss carryback (961 ) - - Permanent and other items (11 ) (257 ) (393 ) Deferred tax impact of US tax reform (10,307 ) - - Total tax expense (benefit) $ (7,159 ) $ 10,504 $ 9,764 The Texas margin tax rate was reduced in a legislative reduction effective January 1, 2015. Permanent differences are primarily due to the Federal manufacturer's deduction, research and development credit, and stock based compensation. The Company has recognized the provisional tax impacts related to the acceleration of depreciation and included these amounts in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the TCJA. The Company did not identify items for which the income tax effects of the TCJA have not been completed and a reasonable estimate could not be determined as of December 31, 2017. The changes to existing U.S. tax laws as a result of the TCJA, which will have the most significant impact on the Company's federal income taxes are as follows: Reduction of the U.S. Corporate Income Tax Rate - Acceleration of Depreciation - Tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of federal and state deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were as follows: December 31, 2017 2016 (thousands of dollars) Deferred tax liabilities: Plant, pipeline and equipment $ (17,014 ) $ (22,598 ) Intangible assets (778 ) (786 ) Other assets (4 ) (10 ) Investment in AMAK (1,023 ) (3,109 ) Total deferred tax liabilities $ (18,819 ) $ (26,503 ) Deferred tax assets: Accounts receivable 198 322 Inventory 156 1,283 Mineral interests 226 376 Unrealized loss on swap agreements - 20 Post-retirement benefits 252 423 Stock-based compensation 971 1,372 Gross deferred tax assets 1,803 3,796 Valuation allowance (226 ) (376 ) Total net deferred tax assets $ 1,577 $ 3,420 Net deferred tax liabilities $ (17,242 ) $ (23,083 ) We provided a valuation allowance in 2017 and 2016 against certain deferred tax assets because of uncertainties regarding their realization. The change in valuation allowance for 2017 of $150 was due to the re-measuring of the valuation allowance due to the TCJA. There was no change in the valuation allowance for 2016. We file an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a margin tax return in Texas. We received notification from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in November 2016 on the selection of the December 31, 2014 tax return for audit. The IRS expanded its audit to include the Research and Development ("R&D") Credits for the year ended December 31, 2015. We also received notification that Texas will audit our R&D credit calculations for 2014 and 2015. We recognized no adjustment for uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions had been accrued. |

Therefore, the sum of quarterly basic and diluted per share information may not equal annual basic and diluted earnings per share. (2) On May 2, 2016, we purchased B Plant. As discussed in Note 3, we recorded a bargain purchase gain of approximately $11.5 million on the transaction. (3) As discussed in Note 11, in July 2016 AMAK issued four million shares. As a result of the equity issuance, our share of the net assets of AMAK increased approximately $3.2 million which we recognized as a gain. (4) As discussed in Note 17 the TCJA changed the federal corporate income tax rates from 35% to 21% resulting in a benefit from deferred taxes of approximately $10.3 million. |

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS [Abstract] | |
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS | NOTE 22 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Commodity Financial Instruments Hydrocarbon based manufacturers, such as SHR, are significantly impacted by changes in feedstock and natural gas prices. Not considering derivative transactions, feedstock and natural gas used for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, represented approximately 68.3%, 62.2% and 69.3% of SHR's operating expenses, respectively. On February 26, 2009, the Board of Directors rescinded its original commodity trading resolution from 1992 and replaced it with a new resolution. The 2009 resolution allows the Company to establish a commodity futures account for the purpose of maximizing our resources and reducing risk as pertaining to our purchases of natural gas and feedstock for operational purposes by employing a four step process. This process, in summary, includes, (1) education of employees who are responsible for carrying out the policy, (2) adoption of a derivatives policy by the Board explaining the objectives for use of derivatives including accepted risk limits, (3) implementation of a comprehensive derivative strategy designed to clarify the specific circumstances under which we will use derivatives, and (4) establishment and maintenance of a set of internal controls to ensure that all of the derivatives transactions taking place are authorized and in accord with the policies and strategies that have been enacted. On August 31, 2009, the Company adopted a formal risk management policy which incorporates the above process, as well as, established a "hedge committee" for derivative oversight. We endeavor to acquire feedstock and natural gas at the lowest possible cost. The primary feedstock (natural gasoline) is traded over the counter and not on organized futures exchanges. Financially settled instruments (fixed price swaps) are the principal vehicle used to give some predictability to feed prices. We do not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The following tables detail (in thousands) the impact the feedstock and natural gas instruments had on the financial statements: December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Realized gain (loss) $ - $ - $ (180 ) Unrealized gain (loss) - - 180 Net loss $ - $ - $ - Realized and unrealized gains / (losses) are recorded in Cost of Petrochemical Product Sales and Processing for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015. Interest Rate Swaps On March 21, 2008, SHR entered into a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreement with Bank of America related to the $10.0 million (later increased to $14 million) term loan secured by plant, pipeline and equipment. The effective date of the interest rate swap agreement was August 15, 2008, and terminated on December 15, 2017. We received credit for payments of variable rate interest made on the term loan at the loan's variable rates, which are based upon the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and paid Bank of America an interest rate of 5.83% less the credit on the interest rate swap. We originally designated the transaction as a cash flow hedge according to ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Beginning on August 15, 2008, the derivative instrument was reported at fair value with any changes in fair value reported within other comprehensive income (loss) in the Company's Statement of Stockholders' Equity. We entered into the interest rate swap to minimize the effect of changes in the LIBOR rate. The following tables detail (in thousands) the impact the agreement had on the financial statements: December 31, 2017 2016 Fair value of derivative liability $ - $ 58 Due to the new debt agreements associated with the Acquisition, we believed that the hedge was no longer entirely effective. Due to the time required to make the determination and the immateriality of the hedge, we began treating the interest rate swap as ineffective as of October 1, 2014. |

POST-RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS [Abstract] | |
POST-RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS | NOTE 23- POST-RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS In January 2008 an amended retirement agreement, replacing the February 2007 agreement, was entered into with Hatem El Khalidi. The amended agreement provided $6,000 per month in benefits to Mr. El Khalidi upon his retirement for the remainder of his life. Additionally, upon his death $4,000 per month would be paid to his surviving spouse for the remainder of her life. A health insurance benefit was also to be provided. An additional $382,000 was accrued in January 2008 for the increase in benefits. A liability of approximately $922,000 and $918,000 based upon an annuity single premium value contract was outstanding at December 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively, and was included in post-retirement benefits. Mr. El Khalidi retired effective June 30, 2009. As of December 31, 2017, no payments have been made pursuant to this agreement. In June 2009 the Company's Board of Directors awarded Mr. El Khalidi a retirement bonus in the amount of $31,500 for 42 years of service. While there is no written policy regarding retirement bonus compensation, the Company has historically awarded all employees (regardless of job position) a retirement bonus equal to $750 for each year of service. Since Mr. El Khalidi was employed by the Company for 42 years, the Board of Directors voted to award him a $31,500 retirement bonus, consistent with that provided to all other retired employees. This amount was outstanding at December 31, 2017, and 2016, and was included in post-retirement benefits. On May 9, 2010, the Board of Directors terminated the retirement agreement, options, retirement bonus, and any outstanding directors' fees due to Mr. El Khalidi; however, due to the litigation discussed in Note 15, all amounts remain outstanding until a resolution is achieved. In July 2015 we entered into a retirement agreement with former CEO, Nicholas Carter which provides continued welfare benefits for Mr. Carter and his wife for life at the same cost sharing basis as regular employees. Approximately $249,000 and $265,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively, and included in post-retirement benefits. For the period ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, approximately $16,000 and $12,000, respectively had been paid. |

Plant, Pipeline and Equipment | Plant, Pipeline and Equipment Interest costs incurred to finance expenditures during construction phase are capitalized as part of the historical cost of constructing the assets. Construction commences with the development of the design and ends when the assets are ready for use. Capitalized interest costs are included in plant, pipeline and equipment and are depreciated over the service life of the related assets. Labor costs incurred to self-construct assets are capitalized as part of the historical cost the assets. Construction commences with the development of the design and ends when the assets are ready for use. Capitalized labor costs are included in plant, pipeline and equipment and are depreciated over the service life of the related assets. Platinum catalyst is included in plant, pipeline and equipment at cost. Amortization of the catalyst is based upon cost less estimated salvage value of the catalyst using the straight line method over the estimated useful life (see Note 9). |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Definite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, licenses, permits and developed technology that were acquired as part of the Acquisition of TC. The majority of these assets are being amortized using discounted estimated future cash flows over the term of the related agreements. Intangible assets associated with customer relationships are being amortized using the discounted estimated future cash flows method based upon assumed rates of annual customer attrition. We continually evaluate the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Once these assets are fully amortized, they will be removed from the consolidated balance sheets. |
Business Combinations and Related Business Acquisition Costs | Business Combinations and Related Business Acquisition Costs Business acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and are reported as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. We define these costs to include finder's fees, advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional consulting fees, as well as, travel associated with the evaluation and effort to acquire specific businesses. |
Investment in AMAK | Investment in AMAK We assess our investment in AMAK for impairment when events are identified, or there are changes in circumstances that may have an adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. We consider recoverable ore reserves, changes in commodity prices, and the amount and timing of the cash flows to be generated by the production of those reserves, as well as, recent equity transactions within AMAK. |
Other Assets | Other Assets |
Long-Lived Assets Impairment | Long-Lived Assets Impairment The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value.

A liability for the payment under the guarantee is recognized when 1) it becomes probable that one or more future events will occur, triggering the requirement to make payments under the guarantee and 2) when the payment can be reasonably estimated. |
Derivatives | Derivatives |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issues is subject to management's assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at that time. We use a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. To the extent that our assessment of such tax position changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. We report tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. On December 22, 2017, Public Law No. 115-97 known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was enacted. The TCJA includes a number of changes to existing U.S. tax laws that impact the Company, most notably a reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35 percent to a flat 21 percent for tax years effective January 1, 2018. The TCJA also implements a territorial tax system, provides for a one-time deemed repatriation tax on unrepatriated foreign earnings, eliminates the alternative minimum tax (AMT), makes AMT credit carryforwards refundable, and permits the acceleration of depreciation for certain assets placed into service after September 27, 2017. In addition the TJCA creates prospective changes beginning in 2018, including repeal of the domestic manufacturing deduction, acceleration of tax revenue recognition, capitalization of research and development expenditures, additional limitations on executive compensation and limitations on the deductibility of interest. The Company has elected to recognize the income tax effects of the TCJA in its financial statements in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118), which provides guidance for the application of ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes |

Therefore, the sum of quarterly basic and diluted per share information may not equal annual basic and diluted earnings per share. (2) On May 2, 2016, we purchased B Plant. As discussed in Note 3, we recorded a bargain purchase gain of approximately $11.5 million on the transaction. (3) As discussed in Note 11, in July 2016 AMAK issued four million shares. As a result of the equity issuance, our share of the net assets of AMAK increased approximately $3.2 million which we recognized as a gain. (4) As discussed in Note 17 the TCJA changed the federal corporate income tax rates from 35% to 21% resulting in a benefit from deferred taxes of approximately $10.3 million. |
