NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION PDC Energy, Inc. is a domestic independent exploration and production company that produces, develops, acquires and explores for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, with primary operations in the Wattenberg Field in Colorado and the Utica Shale in southeastern Ohio. Our operations in the Wattenberg Field are focused in the horizontal Niobrara and Codell plays and our Ohio operations are focused in the Utica Shale play. As of June 30, 2015 , we owned an interest in approximately 2,900 gross wells. We are engaged in two business segments: Oil and Gas Exploration and Production and Gas Marketing. In October 2014 , we sold our entire 50% ownership interest in our joint venture, PDCM, to an unrelated third-party. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PDC, our wholly-owned subsidiary Riley Natural Gas ("RNG"), our proportionate share of our four affiliated partnerships and, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , our proportionate share of PDCM. Pursuant to the proportionate consolidation method, our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our pro rata share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the entities which we proportionately consolidate. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2014 Form 10-K. Our results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications are mainly attributable to reporting the results of operations related to PDCM's Marcellus Shale assets as discontinued operations. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported cash flows, net income, earnings per share or shareholders' equity. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Recently Adopted Accounting Standards On January 1, 2014, we adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") regarding the accounting for income taxes. The change provides clarification on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. Adoption of these changes had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2014, the FASB issued changes related to the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modified related disclosure requirements. Under the new pronouncement, a discontinued operation is defined as a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results. These changes were required to be applied prospectively for new disposals or components of an entity classified as held for sale during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. On July 1, 2014, we elected to early adopt the new pronouncement. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued their converged standard on revenue recognition that provides a single, comprehensive model that entities will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard outlines a five-step approach to apply the underlying principle: (a) identify the contract with the customer, (b) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. The revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and can be adopted under the full retrospective method or simplified transition method. Entities are permitted to adopt the revenue standard early, beginning with annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The new standard will explicitly require management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern every reporting period and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The new standard will be effective for all entities in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2014, the FASB issued an update to accounting for derivatives and hedging instruments. The update clarifies how current accounting guidance should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. Specifically, the accounting update clarifies that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of the host contract. Furthermore, the update clarifies that no single term or feature would necessarily determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Rather, the nature of the host contract depends upon the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument. The assessment of the substance of the relevant terms and features should incorporate a consideration of the characteristics of the terms and features themselves, the circumstances under which the hybrid financial instrument was issued or acquired, and the potential outcomes of the hybrid financial instrument, as well as the likelihood of those potential outcomes. The accounting update is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance eliminating from current accounting guidance the concept of extraordinary items, which, among other things, required an entity to segregate extraordinary items considered to be unusual and infrequent from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting update modifying existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015, and require either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting update simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs and requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The update did not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures. |
Fair Value Measurements and Dis

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value, Measurement Inputs, Disclosure | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Derivative Financial Instruments Determination of fair value. Our fair value measurements are estimated pursuant to a fair value hierarchy that requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are defined as: Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity. Derivative Financial Instruments. We measure the fair value of our derivative instruments based on a pricing model that utilizes market-based inputs, including, but not limited to, the contractual price of the underlying position, current market prices, crude oil and natural gas forward curves, discount rates such as the LIBOR curve for a similar duration of each outstanding position, volatility factors and nonperformance risk. Nonperformance risk considers the effect of our credit standing on the fair value of derivative liabilities and the effect of our counterparties' credit standings on the fair value of derivative assets. Both inputs to the model are based on published credit default swap rates and the duration of each outstanding derivative position. We validate our fair value measurement through the review of counterparty statements and other supporting documentation, the determination that the source of the inputs is valid, the corroboration of the original source of inputs through access to multiple quotes, if available, or other information and monitoring changes in valuation methods and assumptions. While we use common industry practices to develop our valuation techniques and believe our valuation method is appropriate and consistent with those used by other market participants, changes in our pricing methodologies or the underlying assumptions could result in significantly different fair values. Our fixed-price swaps, basis swaps and physical purchases are included in Level 2 and our collars and physical sales are included in Level 3. The following table presents, for each applicable level within the fair value hierarchy, our derivative assets and liabilities, including both current and non-current portions, measured at fair value on a recurring basis: June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Significant Other Significant Total Significant Other Significant Total (in thousands) Assets: Commodity-based derivative contracts $ 167,362 $ 58,417 $ 225,779 $ 237,939 $ 62,356 $ 300,295 Basis protection derivative contracts — — — 19 — 19 Total assets 167,362 58,417 225,779 237,958 62,356 300,314 Liabilities: Commodity-based derivative contracts 1,016 162 1,178 742 — 742 Basis protection derivative contracts 1,923 — 1,923 25 — 25 Total liabilities 2,939 162 3,101 767 — 767 Net asset $ 164,423 $ 58,255 $ 222,678 $ 237,191 $ 62,356 $ 299,547 The following table presents a reconciliation of our Level 3 assets measured at fair value: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 (in thousands) Fair value, net asset, beginning of period $ 74,817 $ (129 ) $ 62,356 $ 1,111 Changes in fair value included in statement of operations line item: Commodity price risk management gain (loss), net (10,749 ) (7,454 ) 4,440 (8,797 ) Sales from natural gas marketing (1 ) (4 ) — (26 ) Settlements included in statement of operations line items: Commodity price risk management gain (loss), net (5,809 ) 621 (8,534 ) 740 Sales from natural gas marketing (3 ) (1 ) (7 ) 5 Fair value, net asset (liability) end of period $ 58,255 $ (6,967 ) $ 58,255 $ (6,967 ) Net change in fair value of unsettled derivatives included in statement of operations line item: Commodity price risk management gain (loss), net $ (10,056 ) $ (2,993 ) $ 3,629 $ (4,227 ) Sales from natural gas marketing — (2 ) — (4 ) Total $ (10,056 ) $ (2,995 ) $ 3,629 $ (4,231 ) The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of our derivative contracts is the implied volatility curve, which is provided by a third-party vendor. A significant increase or decrease in the implied volatility, in isolation, would have a directionally similar effect resulting in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of our Level 3 derivative contracts. There has been no change in the methodology we apply to measure the fair value of our Level 3 derivative contracts. Non-Derivative Financial Assets and Liabilities The carrying value of the financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities, excluding the current portion of long-term debt, approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The liability associated with our non-qualified deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors may be settled in cash or shares of our common stock. The carrying value of this obligation is based on the quoted market price of our common stock, which is a Level 1 input. The liability related to this plan, which was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was immaterial as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . The portion of our long-term debt related to our revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the variable nature of related interest rates. We have not elected to account for the portion of our debt related to our senior notes under the fair value option; however, as of June 30, 2015 , we estimate the fair value of the portion of our long-term debt related to our 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2016 to be $155.9 million , or 135.6% of par value, and the portion related to our 7.75% senior notes due 2022 to be $527.2 million , or 105.4% of par value. We determined these valuations based upon measurements of trading activity and broker and/or dealer quotes, respectively, which are published market prices, and therefore are Level 2 inputs. The carrying value of our capital lease obligations approximates fair value as it represents the present value of future lease payments. Concentration of Risk Derivative Counterparties. Our derivative arrangements expose us to credit risk of nonperformance by our counterparties. We primarily use financial institutions who are also lenders under our revolving credit facility as counterparties to our derivative contracts. To date, we have had no counterparty default losses relating to our derivative arrangements. We have evaluated the credit risk of our derivative assets from our counterparties using relevant credit market default rates, giving consideration to amounts outstanding for each counterparty and the duration of each outstanding derivative position. Based on our evaluation, we have determined that the potential impact of nonperformance of our counterparties on the fair value of our derivative instruments was not significant at June 30, 2015 , taking into account the estimated likelihood of nonperformance. The following table presents the counterparties that expose us to credit risk as of June 30, 2015 with regard to our derivative assets: Counterparty Name Fair Value of (in thousands) JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A (1) $ 63,200 Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (1) 53,050 Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

The following table presents information regarding our note receivable outstanding as of June 30, 2015 : Amount (in thousands) Note Receivable: Principal outstanding, December 31, 2014 $ 39,707 Paid-In-Kind interest 1,604 Principal outstanding, June 30, 2015 $ 41,311 In October 2014, we sold our entire 50% ownership interest in PDCM to an unrelated third-party. See Note 13, Assets Held for Sale, Divestitures and Discontinued Operations , for additional information regarding the sale. As part of the consideration, we received a promissory note (the “Note”) for a principal sum of $39.0 million , bearing interest at varying rates beginning at 8% , and increasing annually. Pursuant to the Note agreement, interest shall be paid quarterly, in arrears, commencing in December 2014 and continuing on the last business day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. At the option of the issuer of the Note, an unrelated third-party, interest can be paid-in-kind (the “PIK Interest”) and any such PIK Interest will be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Note. As of June 30, 2015 , the issuer of the Note had elected the PIK Interest option. The principal and any unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full in September 2020 and can be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, and in certain circumstances must be repaid prior to maturity. Any such prepayment will be made without premium or penalty. The Note is secured by a pledge of stock in certain subsidiaries of the unrelated third-party, debt securities and other assets. Under the effective interest method, we recognized $1.1 million and $2.2 million of interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively, of which $0.8 million and $1.6 million , respectively, was PIK Interest. As of June 30, 2015 , the $41.3 million outstanding balance on the Note was included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet line item other assets. |

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Our results of operations and operating cash flows are affected by changes in market prices for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. To manage a portion of our exposure to price volatility from producing crude oil and natural gas, we utilize the following economic hedging strategies for each of our business segments. • For crude oil and natural gas sales, we enter into derivative contracts to protect against price declines in future periods. While we structure these derivatives to reduce our exposure to changes in price associated with the derivative commodity, they also limit the benefit we might otherwise have received from price increases in the physical market; and • For natural gas marketing, we enter into fixed-price physical purchase and sale agreements that qualify as derivative contracts. In order to offset the fixed-price physical derivatives in our natural gas marketing, we enter into financial derivative instruments that have the effect of locking in the prices we will receive or pay for the same volumes and period, offsetting the physical derivative. We believe our derivative instruments continue to be effective in achieving the risk management objectives for which they were intended. As of June 30, 2015 , we had derivative instruments, which were comprised of collars, fixed-price swaps, basis protection swaps and physical sales and purchases, in place for a portion of our anticipated production through 2017 for a total of 76,328 BBtu of natural gas and 8,127 MBbls of crude oil. The majority of our derivative contracts are entered into at no cost to us as we hedge our anticipated production at the then-prevailing commodity market prices. We have elected not to designate any of our derivative instruments as hedges, and therefore do not qualify for use of hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are recorded in the statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments related to our Oil and Gas Exploration and Production segment are recorded in commodity price risk management, net. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments related to our Gas Marketing segment are recorded in sales from and cost of natural gas marketing.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Tax Disclosure | INCOME TAXES We evaluate and update our estimated annual effective income tax rate on a quarterly basis based on current and forecasted operating results and tax laws. Consequently, based upon the mix and timing of our actual earnings compared to annual projections, our effective tax rate may vary quarterly and may make quarterly comparisons not meaningful. A tax expense or benefit unrelated to the current year income or loss is recognized in its entirety as a discrete item of tax in the period identified. The quarterly income tax provision is generally comprised of tax expense on income or benefit on loss at the most recent estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the effect of discrete items. The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was a 39.1% and 39.4% benefit on loss, respectively, compared to a 38.8% benefit on loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 . The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are based upon a full year forecasted tax provision on income and are greater than the statutory rate, primarily due to state taxes and nondeductible officers' compensation, partially offset by percentage depletion and domestic production deduction. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 differ from the statutory rate primarily due to percentage depletion and domestic production deduction partially offset by state taxes and nondeductible officers' compensation. There were no significant discrete items recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014. As of June 30, 2015 , we had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of the date of this report, we are current with our income tax filings in all applicable state jurisdictions and are not currently under any state income tax examinations. We continue voluntary participation in the Internal Revenue Service’s ("IRS") Compliance Assurance Program for the 2014 and 2015 tax years. The IRS has notified us of full acceptance of our 2013 return with no changes. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Long-term Debt | LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following: June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (in thousands) Senior notes: 3.25% Convertible senior notes due 2016: Principal amount $ 115,000 $ 115,000 Unamortized discount (4,002 ) (6,077 ) 3.25% Convertible senior notes due 2016, net of discount 110,998 108,923 7.75% Senior notes due 2022 500,000 500,000 Total senior notes 610,998 608,923 Revolving credit facility 53,000 56,000 Total debt 663,998 664,923 Less current portion of long-term debt 110,998 — Long-term debt $ 553,000 $ 664,923 Senior Notes 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2016 . In November 2010 , we issued $115 million aggregate principal amount 3.25% convertible senior notes due May 15, 2016 (the "Convertible Notes") in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November 15 . The indenture governing the Convertible Notes contains certain non-financial covenants. We allocated the gross proceeds of the Convertible Notes between the liability and equity components of the debt. The initial $94.3 million liability component was determined based upon the fair value of similar debt instruments with similar terms, excluding the conversion feature, and priced on the same day we issued the Convertible Notes. The original issue discount and capitalized debt issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes using an effective interest rate of 7.4% . As the stated maturity for payment of principal is May 2016 , we have included the carrying value of the Convertible Notes, net of discount, in the current portion of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 . Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled, at our election, in shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. We have initially elected a net-settlement method to satisfy our conversion obligation, which allows us to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Notes in cash and to settle the excess conversion value in shares, as well as cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Convertible Notes were convertible at the option of holders as of June 30, 2015 . The conversion right was triggered on June 16, 2015 , when the closing sale price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market exceeded $55.12 ( 130% of the applicable conversion price) for the 20th trading day in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on June 30, 2015 . In the event a holder elects to convert its note, we expect to fund any cash settlement of any such conversion from working capital and/or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In the event that a holder exercises the right to convert its note, we will write-off a ratable portion of the remaining debt issuance costs and unamortized discount to interest expense. Based on a June 30, 2015 stock price of $53.64 , the “if-converted” value of the Convertible Notes exceeded the aggregate principal amount by approximately $30.5 million . As of the date of this filing, no holders of the Convertible Notes have elected to convert their notes. 7.75% Senior Notes Due 2022. In October 2012 , we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount 7.75% senior notes due October 15, 2022 (the “2022 Senior Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers. Interest on the 2022 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15 . The indenture governing the 2022 Senior Notes contains customary restrictive incurrence covenants. Capitalized debt issuance costs are being amortized as interest expense over the life of the 2022 Senior Notes using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2015 , we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Convertible Notes and the 2022 Senior Notes and expect to remain in compliance throughout the next 12-month period. Credit Facility Revolving Credit Facility. In May 2013 , we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and other lenders party thereto. This agreement amends and restates the credit agreement dated November 2010 and expires in May 2018 . The revolving credit facility is available for working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes and to support letters of credit. The revolving credit facility provides for a maximum of $1 billion in allowable borrowing capacity, subject to the borrowing base. As of June 30, 2015 , the borrowing base was $700 million ; however, we have elected to maintain the aggregate commitment at $450 million . The borrowing base is based on, among other things, the loan value assigned to the proved reserves attributable to our crude oil and natural gas interests, excluding proved reserves attributable to our affiliated partnerships. The borrowing base is subject to a semi-annual size redetermination based upon quantification of our reserves at June 30 and December 31, and is also subject to a redetermination upon the occurrence of certain events. The May 2015 semi-annual redetermination resulted in the reaffirmation of our borrowing base at $700 million and our commitment level at $450 million . The revolving credit facility is secured by a pledge of the stock of certain of our subsidiaries, mortgages of certain producing crude oil and natural gas properties and substantially all of our and such subsidiaries' other assets. Our affiliated partnerships are not guarantors of our obligations under the revolving credit facility. We had a $53.0 million outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2015 , compared to a $56.0 million outstanding balance as of December 31, 2014 . The weighted-average interest rate on the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility, exclusive of fees on the unused commitment and the letter of credit noted below, was 3.0% and 3.8% per annum as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2015 , RNG had an irrevocable standby letter of credit of approximately $11.7 million in favor of a third-party transportation service provider to secure firm transportation of the natural gas produced by third-party producers for whom we market production in the Appalachian Basin. The letter of credit expires in September 2015. The letter of credit reduces the amount of available funds under our revolving credit facility by an amount equal to the letter of credit. As of June 30, 2015 , the available funds under our revolving credit facility, including the reduction for the $11.7 million letter of credit, was $385.3 million . The revolving credit facility contains covenants customary for agreements of this type, with the most restrictive being certain financial tests on a quarterly basis. The financial tests, as defined per the revolving credit facility, include requirements to: (a) maintain a minimum current ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 and (b) not exceed a maximum leverage ratio of 4.25 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2015 , we were in compliance with all the revolving credit facility covenants and expect to remain in compliance throughout the next 12-month period. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Firm Transportation, Processing and Sales Agreements. We enter into contracts that provide firm transportation, sales and processing agreements on pipeline systems through which we transport or sell crude oil and natural gas. Satisfaction of the volume requirements includes volumes produced by us, purchased from third parties and produced by our affiliated partnerships and other third-party working interest owners. We record in our financial statements only our share of costs based upon our working interest in the wells. These contracts require us to pay these transportation and processing charges, whether or not the required volumes are delivered. The following table presents gross volume information related to our long-term firm transportation, sales and processing agreements for pipeline capacity: For the Twelve Months Ending June 30, Area 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 and Total Expiration Natural gas (MMcf) Appalachian Basin 7,136 7,117 7,117 7,117 22,274 50,761 August 31, 2022 Utica Shale 2,745 2,737 2,737 2,737 11,190 22,146 July 22, 2023 Total 9,881 9,854 9,854 9,854 33,464 72,907 Crude oil (MBbls) Wattenberg Field 2,420 2,413 2,413 2,413 2,421 12,080 June 30, 2020 Dollar commitment (in thousands) $ 17,625 $ 17,577 $ 16,540 $ 16,328 $ 25,429 $ 93,499 Litigation. The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that it considers normal to its business. The Company reviews the status of these proceedings on an ongoing basis and, from time to time, may settle or otherwise resolve these matters on terms and conditions that management believes are in the best interests of the Company. There is no assurance that settlements can be reached on acceptable terms or that adverse judgments, if any, in the remaining litigation will not exceed the amounts reserved. Although the results cannot be known with certainty, we currently believe that the ultimate results of such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Class Action Regarding 2010 and 2011 Partnership Purchases In December 2011, the Company and its wholly-owned merger subsidiary were served with an alleged class action on behalf of unit holders of 12 former limited partnerships, related to its repurchase of the 12 partnerships, which were formed beginning in late 2002 through 2005. The mergers were completed in 2010 and 2011. The action was filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and was titled Schulein v. Petroleum Development Corp . The complaint primarily alleged that the disclosures in the proxy statements issued in connection with the mergers were inadequate, and a state law breach of fiduciary duty. In January 2014, the plaintiffs were certified as a class by the court. In October 2014, the Company and plaintiffs’ counsel reached a settlement agreement. That settlement agreement was signed in December 2014 and was given final court approval in March 2015. Under this settlement agreement, the plaintiffs received a cash payment of $37.5 million in January 2015, of which the Company paid $31.5 million and insurers paid $6 million . In March 2015, the class action was dismissed with prejudice and all class claims were released. As of December 31, 2014, the Company accrued a liability of $37.5 million related to this litigation, which was included in other accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Environmental. Due to the nature of the natural gas and oil industry, we are exposed to environmental risks. We have various policies and procedures to minimize and mitigate the risks from environmental contamination. We conduct periodic reviews to identify changes in our environmental risk profile. Liabilities are recorded when environmental damages resulting from past events are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , we had accrued environmental liabilities in the amount of $3.8 million and $0.8 million , respectively, included in other accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We are not aware of any environmental claims existing as of June 30, 2015 which have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on our financial statements; however, there can be no assurance that current regulatory requirements will not change or unknown past non-compliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on our properties. Employment Agreements with Executive Officers . Each of our senior executive officers may be entitled to a severance payment and certain other benefits upon the termination of the officer's employment pursuant to the officer's employment agreement and/or the Company's executive severance compensation plan. The nature and amount of such benefits would vary based upon, among other things, whether the termination followed a change of control of the Company. |

Net proceeds of the offering were $202.9 million , after deducting offering expenses and underwriting discounts, of which $40,020 is included in common shares-par value and $202.8 million is included in additional paid-in capital on the June 30, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet. The shares were issued pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC in March 2015. Stock-Based Compensation Plans The following table provides a summary of the impact of our outstanding stock-based compensation plans on the results of operations for the periods presented: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 (in thousands) Stock-based compensation expense $ 5,097 $ 5,032 $ 9,465 $ 8,879 Income tax benefit (1,936 ) (1,912 ) (3,595 ) (3,374 ) Net stock-based compensation expense $ 3,161 $ 3,120 $ 5,870 $ 5,505 Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") The SARs vest ratably over a three-year period and may be exercised at any point after vesting through ten years from the date of issuance. Pursuant to the terms of the awards, upon exercise, the executive officers will receive, in shares of common stock, the excess of the market price of the award on the date of exercise over the market price of the award on the date of issuance. In January 2015, the Compensation Committee awarded 68,274 SARs to our executive officers. The fair value of each SAR award was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions: Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Expected term of award 6 years 6 years Risk-free interest rate 1.6 % 2.1 % Expected volatility 59.4 % 65.6 % Weighted-average grant date fair value per share $ 21.99 $ 29.96 The expected term of the award was estimated using historical stock option exercise behavior data. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yields approximating the expected life of the award in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatilities were based on our historical volatility. We do not expect to pay or declare dividends in the foreseeable future. The following table presents the changes in our SARs for the periods presented: Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Number of Weighted-Average Average Remaining Contractual Aggregate Intrinsic (in thousands) Number of Weighted-Average Average Remaining Contractual (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic (in thousands) Outstanding beginning of year, January 1, 279,011 $ 38.77 190,763 $ 33.77 Awarded 68,274 39.63 88,248 49.57 Outstanding at June 30, 347,285 38.94 7.8 $ 5,107 279,011 38.77 8.3 $ 6,803 Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 339,980 38.88 7.7 5,019 268,453 38.53 8.3 6,609 Exercisable at June 30, 191,149 35.68 6.9 3,433 109,920 32.71 7.3 3,346 Total compensation cost related to SARs granted, net of estimated forfeitures, and not yet recognized in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as of June 30, 2015 was $2.8 million . The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. Restricted Stock Awards Time-Based Awards. The fair value of the time-based restricted shares is amortized ratably over the requisite service period, primarily three years. The time-based shares vest ratably on each anniversary following the grant date that a participant is continuously employed. In January 2015, the Compensation Committee awarded to our executive officers a total of 80,707 time-based restricted shares that vest ratably over a three -year period ending in January 2018. The following table presents the changes in non-vested time-based awards to all employees, including executive officers, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 : Shares Weighted-Average Non-vested at December 31, 2014 564,332 $ 46.02 Granted 291,903 48.54 Vested (201,006 ) 43.82 Forfeited (11,003 ) 54.94 Non-vested at June 30, 2015 644,226 47.69 The following table presents the weighted-average grant date fair value per share and related information as of/for the periods presented: As of/for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 (in thousands, except per share data) Total intrinsic value of time-based awards vested $ 10,126 $ 11,690 Total intrinsic value of time-based awards non-vested 34,556 44,940 Market price per common share as of June 30, 53.64 63.15 Weighted-average grant date fair value per share 48.54 56.56 Total compensation cost related to non-vested time-based awards, net of estimated forfeitures, and not yet recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as of June 30, 2015 was $22.8 million . This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. Market-Based Awards. The fair value of the market-based restricted shares is amortized ratably over the requisite service period, primarily three years. The market-based shares vest if the participant is continuously employed throughout the performance period and the market-based performance measure is achieved, with a maximum vesting period of three years. All compensation cost related to the market-based awards will be recognized if the requisite service period is fulfilled, even if the market condition is not achieved. In January 2015, the Compensation Committee awarded a total of 29,398 market-based restricted shares to our executive officers. In addition to continuous employment, the vesting of these shares is contingent on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR"), which is essentially the Company’s stock price change including any dividends, as compared to the TSR of a set group of 15 peer companies. The shares are measured over a three-year period ending on December 31, 2017 and can result in a payout between 0% and 200% of the total shares awarded. The weighted-average grant date fair value per market-based share for these awards granted was computed using the Monte Carlo pricing model using the following assumptions: Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Expected term of award 3 years 3 years Risk-free interest rate 0.9 % 0.8 % Expected volatility 53.0 % 55.2 % Weighted-average grant date fair value per share $ 57.35 $ 56.87 The expected term of the awards was based on the requisite service period. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant and extrapolated to approximate the life of the award. The expected volatility was based on our historical volatility. The following table presents the change in non-vested market-based awards during the six months ended June 30, 2015 : Shares Weighted-Average Non-vested at December 31, 2014 83,721 $ 52.98 Granted 29,398 57.35 Non-vested at June 30, 2015 113,119 54.12 The following table presents the weighted-average grant date fair value per share and related information as of/for the periods presented: As of/for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 (in thousands, except per share data) Total intrinsic value of market-based awards non-vested $ 6,068 $ 7,216 Market price per common share as of June 30, 53.64 63.15 Weighted-average grant date fair value per share 57.35 56.87 Total compensation cost related to non-vested market-based awards, net of estimated forfeitures, and not yet recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as of June 30, 2015 was $2.9 million . This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly computed, except that the denominator includes the effect, using the treasury stock method, of unvested restricted stock, outstanding SARs, stock options, Convertible Notes and shares held pursuant to our non-employee director deferred compensation plan, if including such potential shares of common stock is dilutive. The following table presents a reconciliation of the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 (in thousands) Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic 40,035 35,762 38,202 35,726 Weighted-average common shares and equivalents outstanding - diluted 40,035 35,762 38,202 35,726 We reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As a result, our basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were the same as the effect of the common share equivalents was anti-dilutive. The following table presents the weighted-average common share equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 (in thousands) Weighted-average common share equivalents excluded from diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect: Restricted stock 871 896 832 859 SARs 108 92 89 96 Stock options 4 4 4 4 Non-employee director deferred compensation 6 5 6 5 Convertible notes 677 881 523 758 Total anti-dilutive common share equivalents 1,666 1,878 1,454 1,722 In November 2010, we issued our Convertible Notes, which give the holders the right to convert the aggregate principal amount into 2.7 million shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $42.40 per share. The Convertible Notes could be included in the diluted earnings per share calculation using the treasury stock method if the average market share price exceeds the $42.40 conversion price during the period presented. Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as the effect would be anti-dilutive to our earnings per share. |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure | ASSETS HELD FOR SALE, DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In October 2014 , we completed the sale of our entire 50% ownership interest in PDCM to an unrelated third-party for aggregate consideration, after our share of PDCM's debt repayment and other working capital adjustments, of approximately $192 million , comprised of approximately $153 million in net cash proceeds and a promissory note due in 2020 of approximately $39 million . The transaction included the buyer's assumption of our share of the firm transportation commitment related to the assets owned by PDCM, as well as our share of PDCM's natural gas hedging positions for the years 2014 through 2017. The divestiture resulted in a pre-tax gain of $76.3 million . Proceeds from the divestiture were used to reduce outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility and to fund a portion of our 2014 capital budget. The divestiture represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations, in that our organizational structure no longer has joint venture partners or dry gas assets. Therefore, our proportionate share of PDCM's Marcellus Shale results of operations have been separately reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 . The following table presents condensed consolidated statement of operations data related to discontinued operations: Condensed consolidated statements of operations - discontinued operations Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Revenues Crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales $ 8,907 $ 18,738 Commodity price risk management loss, net (768 ) (3,016 ) Well operations, pipeline income and other 30 52 Total revenues 8,169 15,774 Costs, expenses and other Production costs 2,980 6,101 Impairment of crude oil and natural gas properties 90 159 Depreciation, depletion and amortization 4,107 7,857 Other 1,241 2,389 Gain on sale of properties and equipment (340 ) (194 ) Total costs, expenses and other 8,078 16,312 Interest expense (865 ) (1,512 ) Interest income 69 133 Loss from discontinued operations (705 ) (1,917 ) Provision for income taxes 1,896 2,389 Income from discontinued operations, net of tax $ 1,191 $ 472 The following table presents supplemental cash flows information related to our 50% ownership interest in PDCM, which is classified as discontinued operations: Supplemental cash flows information - discontinued operations Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 (in thousands) Cash flows from investing activities: Capital expenditures $ (15,851 ) Significant non-cash investing items: Change in accounts payable related to purchases of properties and equipment (5,473 ) Assets held for sale of $2.9 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 represents the carrying value of approximately 12 acres of land located adjacent to our Bridgeport, West Virginia, regional headquarters. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting Disclosure | BUSINESS SEGMENTS We separate our operating activities into two segments: Oil and Gas Exploration and Production and Gas Marketing. All material inter-company accounts and transactions between segments have been eliminated. Oil and Gas Exploration and Production. Our Oil and Gas Exploration and Production segment includes all of our crude oil and natural gas properties. The segment represents revenues and expenses from the production and sale of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. Segment revenue includes crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales, commodity price risk management, net and well operation and pipeline income. Segment income (loss) consists of segment revenue less production cost, exploration expense, impairment of crude oil and natural gas properties, direct general and administrative expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Gas Marketing. Our Gas Marketing segment purchases, aggregates and resells natural gas produced by us and others. Segment income (loss) primarily represents sales from natural gas marketing and direct interest income, less costs of natural gas marketing and direct general and administrative expense. Unallocated Amounts. Unallocated income includes unallocated other revenue, less corporate general and administrative expense, corporate DD&A expense, interest income and interest expense. Unallocated assets include assets utilized for corporate general and administrative purposes, as well as assets not specifically included in our two business segments. The following tables present our segment information: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 (in thousands) Segment revenues: Oil and gas exploration and production $ 48,437 $ 78,888 $ 189,836 $ 174,608 Gas marketing 2,523 22,415 5,756 49,352 Total revenues $ 50,960 $ 101,303 $ 195,592 $ 223,960 Segment loss before income taxes: Oil and gas exploration and production $ (46,425 ) $ 4,586 $ 11,736 $ 37,727 Gas marketing (313 ) (13 ) (337 ) 54 Unallocated (30,248 ) (52,601 ) (60,600 ) (88,111 ) Loss before income taxes $ (76,986 ) $ (48,028 ) $ (49,201 ) $ (50,330 ) June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (in thousands) Segment assets: Oil and gas exploration and production $ 2,313,625 $ 2,254,751 Gas marketing 4,525 6,979 Unallocated 70,593 75,984 Assets held for sale 2,874 2,874 Total assets $ 2,391,617 $ 2,340,588 |
Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 6 Months Ended |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidation, Policy | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PDC, our wholly-owned subsidiary Riley Natural Gas ("RNG"), our proportionate share of our four affiliated partnerships and, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , our proportionate share of PDCM. Pursuant to the proportionate consolidation method, our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our pro rata share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the entities which we proportionately consolidate. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Basis of Accounting, Policy | In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2014 Form 10-K. Our results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. |
Reclassification, Policy | Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications are mainly attributable to reporting the results of operations related to PDCM's Marcellus Shale assets as discontinued operations. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported cash flows, net income, earnings per share or shareholders' equity. |
Recently Issued Accounting Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued their converged standard on revenue recognition that provides a single, comprehensive model that entities will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard outlines a five-step approach to apply the underlying principle: (a) identify the contract with the customer, (b) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. The revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and can be adopted under the full retrospective method or simplified transition method. Entities are permitted to adopt the revenue standard early, beginning with annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The new standard will explicitly require management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern every reporting period and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The new standard will be effective for all entities in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2014, the FASB issued an update to accounting for derivatives and hedging instruments. The update clarifies how current accounting guidance should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. Specifically, the accounting update clarifies that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of the host contract. Furthermore, the update clarifies that no single term or feature would necessarily determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Rather, the nature of the host contract depends upon the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument. The assessment of the substance of the relevant terms and features should incorporate a consideration of the characteristics of the terms and features themselves, the circumstances under which the hybrid financial instrument was issued or acquired, and the potential outcomes of the hybrid financial instrument, as well as the likelihood of those potential outcomes. The accounting update is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance eliminating from current accounting guidance the concept of extraordinary items, which, among other things, required an entity to segregate extraordinary items considered to be unusual and infrequent from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting update modifying existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015, and require either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting update simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs and requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The update did not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards [Text Block] | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards On January 1, 2014, we adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") regarding the accounting for income taxes. The change provides clarification on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. Adoption of these changes had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2014, the FASB issued changes related to the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modified related disclosure requirements. Under the new pronouncement, a discontinued operation is defined as a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results. These changes were required to be applied prospectively for new disposals or components of an entity classified as held for sale during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. On July 1, 2014, we elected to early adopt the new pronouncement. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy | Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly computed, except that the denominator includes the effect, using the treasury stock method, of unvested restricted stock, outstanding SARs, stock options, Convertible Notes and shares held pursuant to our non-employee director deferred compensation plan, if including such potential shares of common stock is dilutive. |
